What a ****ot.... 

 

Yup- I ALWAYS watch tv from 30,000 feet away.

Glenny Boy is GONE!!!! Yaaaaayyyyy!!!

Source confirms the Sixers list of candidates to be their new head coach includes Mike D’Antoni (who worked with Daryl Morey and James Harden in Houston), Mike Budenholzer, Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel, Monty Williams, Sam Casell.

They are leaning towards Mike D’Antoni

Who do YOU want??

 

Nick Nurse, Monty Williams or Sam Cassell

Posted this in the other thread, but my order would be this

Monty Williams - He was an assistant here under Brown. Pretty sure it was the Butler/Raptors season and was largely responsible for their defensive play which from memory was quite good that season. He has worked within the organisation and Embiid played well within his defensive system. I'd give him the tick as first choice

Nick Nurse - He was good enough to get that Raptors team over the hump with Kawhi and seemed to be pretty good with his in game adjustments. This year was a disaster for him but it may have been a perfect storm. He is one that may be able to maximise the roster
 

Cassell - He has been a huge in the development of Maxey, it feels like the players love him, but he may be better as a development guy than a head coach and not fit the profile of the roster and where they are at.

What he's saying is exactly what I've seen, especially in the playoffs. There are never any designed plays to get a guy a good look on a last second shot. There are no adjustments. The Celtics changed to a bigger lineup and we never adjusted to it for example.

Nick Nurse looks like a great X's and O's guy and has made good adjustments in the playoffs. He does all of the things that Doc doesn't do. He'd be my first choice, but Monty would also be a solid choice for the reasons you mentioned. 

Mike Budenholzer is my guy. Nobody else comes close.

Nurse, Monty, and Vogel less so, seem like the best options. GTFO with MDA. Never that guy.

Just posted them all. The dude is basically Doc Rivers but sure. The one year he won the championship they had a stacked roster, almost lost to KD on his own and played the Hawks in the Conference Finals because of Rivers/Simmons. The Suns were up 2-0 before their own capitulation to lose 4-2. The Bucks were also going to fire him that season and the title bought him two more seasons for them to underperform in the playoffs. 

I don't really care who the HC is. They need better players. 

Who can they trade Harden to? 

Who can they trade Tobias Harris too. That would go along way to freeing up cap space and signing other talented free agents and hopefully some first round picks too.

Bud was still the coach for two more years because of this or would have been fired.

That title. Yeah- just win US one title. That's all that matters right about now. Nurse would be ok- maybe he can whine to the officials FOR us. 🤣

He couldn't figure out that Jimmy Butler is good at basketball and to double team him. That's why he was fired. He's a lot like Doc.
