Nurse will probably end up there
Should be at the top of the list imo…
He’ll surely get interviewed and if we’re focused on culture he could be good.
Also have to imagine Nick Nurse is a primary candidate for PHX
Nurse gets the job and brings his buddy fred with him there🤞🏾
Congratulations to Nick Nurse getting to coach one of the two 2021 Finals teams
Also no we aren’t/shouldn’t be interested in Monty
Monty to Toronto
Yes, we are.
Nurse to Phoenix book it
Idk tough to decide. I mean he’s a good floor raiser as seen when the Suns went from out of the playoffs in 2020 to making the finals in 2021 and with good regular season results but his post season coaching is questionable.
Also there’s no way if the 76ers lose tomorrow that Doc Rivers should still have a job when you got the likes of Nurse, Bud and now Monty getting pink slips
He is obviously a candidate. I usually like his press releases. I don’t think any player has bad mouthed him other than having a problem with Ayton but who doesn’t have a problem with Ayton.
I really feel like he’s a good coach and just kinda hasnt got it done yet, seems to be well respected by everyone not named Deandre Ayton also. Would be interested
Fuck. Yea.
I’m a Monty fan, I would love for him to be considered from the Raps.
Would definitely be the best Coach available. I think he would be on the same pedigree as Nurse, different style of coaching might be exactly what we need.
back to back blowouts falls on coaching he’s cooked
Monty to lead the tank
My #1 want right now
No interest in Monty. Really nice and players like him but he can’t make adjustments and has questionable rotations
Hell nah
I’m cool on Monty.
Nurse gets to pick if he wants to coach Giannis or KD lol
I like the idea of hiring an assistant and getting a first-timer more tbh
Wow KD got 2 head coaches fired in 6 month. That’s gotta be some sort of record?
Nurse is perfect for PHX. They’re already built to play 6 guys 40+ minutes and nobody else sees the floor.
No
