So Nurse pulled out of the Milwaukee job? Interesting
I hope we know soon and I hope we aren't left Nursing an injury.

Sounds like it’ll be nurse. Gambo did say that Giannis loved Adrian Griffin and that was his preferred choice.

I’m cool with Nurse…I was intrigued by Jordi Fernandez but we didn’t really know anything about him.

I think we'll hire Young. Nurse will end up in Philly.

Both reasonable choices. I was hoping for Lue but willing to give either a chance.

The players and team know way more about whomever we hire, so I can't really get all in my feelings about it. Even if it's Mr Chokejob himself Glenn Rivers.

That’s what Gambo said as well.

Yep. I'd be surprised if they go elsewhere at this juncture.

No, just listening to other people with sources. Bill Simmons is pretty adamant it’s Kevin Young. He’s not usually as confident about things, he’s not a news breaker, but I think he knows something.

I’ve heard the players really like him as well.

Why would Bill Simmons have inside info about the Suns coaching search?

Because someone told him something. He’s said it pretty confidently twice now on his podcast.

It kind of feels like it's lining up to be young. Ishbia's a wildcard but Jones has been big on continuity and Young would provide continuity while also providing a change of ideas and schemes without a major shakeup in the program. A new coach like Nurse, Vogel, Rivers might be too drastic given our window. We don't need a complete reset with a new voice, new staff, new "culture" looking to establish itself learning the players and the org. Young may also be safer for Jones himself, who could lose a potential power struggle with a bigger name coach like Rivers or Vogel.

That’s exactly what we need imo.

Alright, I guess I'm going to expect Young. He's kind of an unknown for me. Did like what I read in the Athletic article. I'm going to hope for the best and hope he has a Nurse type trajectory ending in our first NBA championship. It will be interesting to see what Ishbia and Jones can do with the rest of our roster after giving up the farm (and no, I'm not happy on it) for KD.
