Good luck and hands off RJ.

Agree kinda that it is a real problem that we have no idea if they interviewed any black coaches. Maybe there was coverage, but I saw nothing.

you wouldn't do RJ for levert?

The need someone that demands respect from KD and Kyrie, Nash brings that. Certainly out of the box, but he’s one of the smartest players to ever play the game and got more out of folks on the court and is humble. Likely will work out for them.

Aside from Nash being a former MVP, someone with a very high bball IQ. Its the humble part that really helped him get the job IMO. A "my way or the highway" coach wasnt going to work with KD/Kyrie, unless it was Pops.

Nash is chill, for lack of a better word. KD/Kyrie arent. Looks like they're bringing in Nash to be the Yin on the Nets, to Durant and Irving's Yang. So to speak. I dont know if it will work, but I believe I get the reasoning.

No. The injury history scares me off.

Its a starphuch hire. Will it work Would Pop have worked? Who knows. Injuries matter. Nets build something and now can do what we all feared: take the towN! He can also take the Chinese market. Jack Ma owns the team not Sean Marks.
They built to get here. Built for the assets and Cap space to now mold a contender. Collangelo did similar to Philly in a different way. Not years of ascent, but a year or two then they went and got Jimmy Butler. More than one way to achieve success.
I don’t know what Nets will do. It won’t diminish or enhance what knicks do.
As for Nash, the dude is obviously motivated and brings star power to a franchise that lacks any identity. Two time MVP and HOFer. He does not have the championship to his name but his two stars both do.
Anything less than conference finals (Final 4) finish has to be seen as a failure.
I know many of you take pleasure in Net failure. Fact is Knick Success is all that matters.

The larger question for the Knicks, our beloved Knicks, is whether it's better to just build a high floor team.

The Nets were building something nice. Marks and Atkinson turned that team around. They were playing hard, they were playing together, there was a vision and everyone was focused on winning. Then the team got a couple of "superstars" and it all turned to ****. But if you look around the league, except for GSW, it seems to all turn to ****. Superstars holding their teams hostage and all this fabricated drama and guys basically running their coaches and front offices from the court.

I would be happy with 8 Mikal Bridges on my roster. Solid guys who play the right way, play fundamental and would make fans proud of them. Guys who honor the jerseys they put on and don't need to align to what Nike says or what they need to be appealing on Twitter or that happy horse****. Would never win a championship, but could probably get you fun basketball to watch. I don't see this as a failure, I see chasing superstars, most of them, as a type of tax on dignity.

Look at how many rosters that ****sucker LeBron James has driven into the ground. He had to be LeGM. Then LeCoach. Now LeMandela.

Maybe it's just my age, but winning a ring at the cost of all this simping seems like too high a price for me.

The Nets literally sold their sole for KD and Kyrie. While I agree with the having 8 Mikal Bridgea type of players is great for a team, you still need talent. I think the Nets went after the wrong g guys. Way too many questions in my book for both, plus they seem to want to take over that Brooklyn tam. Good luck with that.

He has a relationship with Marks the GM. He also was a consultant with the Warriors so he know KD. Nash is also a soccer analyst, lol. Clearly, he's not there if KD and Kyrie don't sign off on it. He's there to manage Kyrie and KD's ego...

Nash was offered lots of assistant coaching jobs before. He could have easily gotten a nice college gig. Basically the deal was Nash wanted to make good and sure Jason Richardson was blackballed from the league. He didn't want to be a coach and have to deal with the media if Richardson was there. He didn't want to coach and run into Richardson on the bench for some other team. He also didn't want to be forced to interact with Shaq, which he would have had to do to take a media job.

Could work out. East is not exactly a slugfest every year.

It’s interesting the **** storm this is creating.

Stephen A. is losing his mind, complaining about white privilege and how black men never get this type of opportunity. Honestly what a clown. Didn’t Jason Kidd and Derek Fisher get the Nets and Knicks job with zero experience. Mark Jackson got the warriors job. What do they have in common? Point Guards. Period. Smart savvy guys that have led men.

Should more black men get head coaching jobs, no question! But, this is a unique situation. You essentially fired the coach of the year and someone who rebuilt the culture on the court for KD and Irving. They are running this ship and this is who they wanted and who they respect.

Maybe let’s look at that. KD got DJ $40MM. You think he’s not pulling strings?

Such disdain guys like Kyrie, Durant, and Lebron. They are empowered by their ability to control who they want to play with, where, and coached by.
Jordan was tied to Chicago as no other team could pay him 30mil some 22 years ago!!! Not that winning was not fun but check the math, it was never close. It was a crazy some then.
Durant and Kyrie damn straight get to pick who they want to be coached.
Don’t feel bad for Kenny, he did real well, will get paid and likley coach again soon.
The culture of development now has a team that is very Compelling. Without Atkinson they don’t get here.
Truth be told most those going off on Nets are just a bit envious. Count me in. Its far from any guarantee they get a chip but they are talented if healthy.
This is were Dolan loses his shyt and has to counter. This is where we need to be cool.

Ha, I don't see a problem with that. Let him and the broader media harass a team that's not the Knicks for a change.
