Post by Split T »

Figured we needed a new thread for the actual coaching search. Here’s are first list of candidates.

Lue or Nurse or bust. Absolutely not Kevin Young.

Yeah this is like the Kliff Kingsbury firing…the whole staff has to go. You can’t just hire an assistant.

I'm not sure about Nurse. Read some stuff about how he wouldn't even talk to his star players towards the end of it. Would have a go between guy to communicate with them. Don't really like that vibe.

I also don't understand why the Clippers would give Lue to us.

I don't think we have to worry about something weird like Izzo. He's like 100 years old and his style would never translate to the pros.

Not sure Ishbia is dumb enough to hire Isaiah Thomas either. Seems like he would have a better plan than that.

I think Jones is on the hot hot hot seat if he's not already fired. Going to see how good he really is at his job around draft night and into the summer.

Doubt it, apparently they aren’t on the best of terms

Lue isn't happening. All things being equal, Nurse should pick the Bucks job over the Suns.

We're almost certainly getting a lower quality coach than Monty Williams unless it's Frank Vogel and there doesn't seem to be any bread crumbs to follow that lead.

Kerr isn't an idiot, he'd never willingly leave Steph Curry.

He may not have that choice to make; the Bucks may prefer Monty.

So an even larger indication that the Suns made the wrong choice.

I guess our FO already had someone in mind prior Monty's dismisal. Only Bud, Nurse and Vogel fill the bill as championship winning coaches. I prefer Bud. Can someone make a poll with some realistic options? Thank you.

Basically every unemployed coach and current assistant coach is a realistic option, but we have no frame of reference with how Ishbia thinks or who's in his ear besides Isaiah Thomas.

Which candidate most resembles Izzo? Who among them values toughness and discipline- perhaps even guard play? Nurse? Obviously Lue is a dream.

This isn't the Arizona Cardinals. I don't expect a long process and bullshit hire.

The more i think about, the more I’m okay with Nurse or Budenholzer, especially if the alternative is Isiah Thomas or Tom Izzo :lol:
