2020-21 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

Bron, Davis, Kuz, Howard ..... for starters, against bunch of midgets. Hopefully we are back to peaking at the right time and we’ll be treated to just how good this Lakers team is.

 

Whatever it takes to see Mike Dantoni whine and cry, I’m for it.

 

Hall of Fame guard Steve Nash has signed a four-year contract to become the next coach of the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN.

 

Be interesting to see how that works out. I know he'd be doing some personal coaching, but didn't know this was even an interest. Dirk for Assistant Head Coach?

Could go really well, or could be a disaster. I'm not sure I see a middle ground.

 

Curious if he’ll try to run old Dan Tony / Nash / Phoenix system or more toward Warriors system where he has been skills coaching for several years now?

 

nets have personel for it

 

Exactly!!

But did anyone see Stephen A. Smith's thoughts on this coaching hire?

 

He just got ripped a new one by fans of all races on Twitter. While I would be pissed if I was a coach who had been putting in time as an assistant and didn’t even get an interview, it was a pretty weak take overall. HOF qualifications had more to do with the hire than anything. But the optics are poor.

When bringing up examples, he brought up a couple coaches not considered for the position that were also previously hired for their first time without coaching experience and black, so his take was really weak sauce.

He also had no issue with Derek Fisher being hired in his beloved NY as an inexperienced head coach.

hard to believe he believed what was falling out of his face, but I still think it was a poor idea not to interview other coaches. Very socially unaware.

 

SAS wilted under the pressure of being called less black than his counterpart, Max Kellerman. It was so obvious. Obsession with race is no longer on one side anymore. It's an obsession from all sides to obtain power. Nothing more, nothing less. People are opening their eyes to the scam though. We will see if it will have a happy ending.

 

surprised that nash wanted to coach and that he wanted to coach that group in particular.

nash has a bit of an ego, and coaches get fired and blamed for everything. i don't see this going well. also, guys with preternatural court vision have a hard time instilling this in others: see the angles! why don't you see them???!! jump, legless frog! are you deaf?

plus, durant and kyrie: that's some serious mental baggage. just two really prickly, weird guys who seem to want to beef a lot.

i'm glad for atkinson he got out. he deserved better.

 

So true lol

 

but it's the ego. he left dallas because he was insulted at their offer and didn't even let them counter phx's, and it was the thing that motivated him to focus on staying healthy (which was his main issue in dallas). i don't know...i just don't think he's the type to handle negative evaluations well. and coaches get those a lot.
