That writing was on the wall last season. Sorry for it to end for Steve this way but he was always a surprise hire. Jacque Vaughn hired as interim. Wonder if they let that ride or hire a new coach in-season…
If it’s me, let it ride and let Kyrie walk. Let him find his way on his own. Bring in Snyder or Vogel (or both), make a hard run at some talent with Durant in the fold (or trade him) and rebuild.
This is a hot mess by any measure but it collapsed about as fast as I expected. Kyrie will never not be a loony tune façade of an NBA spokesperson (the talent is undeniable but oh so very much baggage).
Best of luck Steve, enjoy some skateboarding in Venice and your family.
Wrong. Ime Udoka…
Sign Primo off of waivers and this will be the All Throwback Mentality to 1950 Team!
I’m sure this will fix everything immediately 😃
Word was it was mutual. Nash didn’t want the job any more.
Wonder if Boston will want a pick for Udoka?
Why would he? Irving is a daily dumpster fire (for a different reason every day), Durant is so enigmatic he’s more elf than human and Simmons is garbage however you want to frame it. Nash’s job was pure spin. No coaching, those guys don’t listen to coaches. The job should double as PR manager.
Boston will be quite happy to see someone else picking up that tab.
Nets problem is the same as the Lakers problem. Big 3 model only works if one of your big 3 is a top 3 MVP candidate. Not when:
The best of the 3 is getting long in the tooth and still eats up 1/2 the salary cap.
The 2nd star can’t be counted on.
The 3rd max contract is usually a net negative on the court and impossible to trade without the assets you already wasted in getting it here.
Exactly.
