good move by philly

damn i was hoping they would remain incompetent.....

doc and daryl? good lord.

BROOKLYN NETS ACTION! IT'S T! B! D!

https://sports.yahoo.com/kristian-winfield-steve-nash-says-214100818.html

Steve Nash was quizzed about what his team’s offense will look like this season during a virtual town hall meeting on Tuesday.

“It’s all sort of to be determined,” the new Nets head coach said.

Nash said he doesn’t want to get bogged down with too many hard and fast concepts and designs.

“I’d much rather come in with principles, with ideas that allow our players to collaborate with us and allow their personalities and the dynamic between them and the chemistry to have a role in how it evolves,” he said.

oh my god steve nash is trying to make me hate him now isnt he

lol sounds like a solid plan

this is going to end up with kyrie holding the clipboard during timeouts and sketching up plays

i totally forgot that steve nash is their coach lmao

honestly tho i sort of agree with him... KD and kyrie are going to run the offense they want to run. steve nash wasn’t hired to impose his tactical will on that team. no use in pretending otherwise

from a personality perspective kyrie and KD are two of the most hilarious choices you could make for “completely ceding control of a franchise to its superstar players.” what an insane combo, i cannot wait

damn i was hoping they would remain incompetent.....

still cld be a train wreck organizationally! hold out hope

2021 drama is shaping up nicely. So pumped for the nets. Would be hilarious if it actually works out there.

yeah i dont think what nash said was bad really gotta see what you got first, plus he was prob just being reticent with the media im sure he has some ideas

also clearly aware of the uhh personality issues on the team which is good too

I'm down with Morey for the Sixers. Why get The Process from the student when you can get it from the master, lol?

nash got to watch kd with kerr up close and personal so im sure he's figured out how to navigate him a bit. might not work but they are at least starting with a solid connection.

cool thing abt morey to sixers is you know he will do some trades

does he deal jo or ben...

only one of them shoots the 3

at least one recognizes he shouldnt

I assume analytics says go with Embiid + shooters.

i would be trying to trade embiid while ppl still think you can win anything significant w/ him soaking up a majority of your possessions

and while ppl still think he can play full seasons

full *games

watch he trades embiid for harden

lol yes

Tobias Harris and Embiid for Westbrook and Harden. Go big or go home, Morey!

Dallas Mavericks assistant Stephen Silas is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach of the Houston Rockets, sources tell ESPN.

this is a move of a team rebuilding

i would be trying to trade embiid while ppl still think you can win anything significant w/ him soaking up a majority of your possessions

i mean, joel himself agrees with me lol. go read his comments about jimmy butler

No

Imagining scores of Philly dudes with fake Harden beards and it is not a pleasant vision imo

philly rappers have a big head start wrt beards

Mike D’Antoni and Ime Udoka are finalizing deals to become assistant coaches under Steve Nash with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN. Together, D’Antoni and Nash were the architects of the Seven Seconds or Less Offense with the Phoenix Suns in the mid-2000’s.

this is weird

very weird. would be exciting if it was a team that didn't have 2 guys who will want to do their own thing rather than run a designed offense

i actually kind of like it for mike dan tony, way less pressure to perform as an assistant, can just vibe and do offense things

this nets situation has gotten just weird enough that i think im rooting for them now

if they were a west team i'd be on board, alas,

yeah i mean they cld threaten the celtics their upside is big, but theyre prob a year away if it ever happens considering kd is coming back from the worst injury and their roster doesnt really fit their stars, the biggest question around that team tho even more so than the difficult personalities is kyries health he hasnt shown much ability to stay on the court and even less to be fully healthy

If KD is at near 100% seems like they have to be a factor

Into it

Presuming there is an nba in 2021

If KD is at near 100% seems like they have to be a factor

never happens 1st year back from a major achilles injury tho, usually never happens at all, kds ceiling is prob 80% of what he was before and we wont see that til year 2

1st time coach toooo...

idk i dont think its out of the question that they click catch fire and get in the zone i just think its not likely

new roster too
bad personalities
have to play on a team called the nets which is not an inspiring name

its too bad the name kings is already taken that would be good for them (kings county) (same thing as brooklyn)

then they cld use basquiats lil crown on their terrible alternate uniforms

new roster too
bad personalities
have to play on a team called the nets which is not an inspiring name

has some 2020 clipppers vibes. adding two all stars (one being a top five player in both scenarios) to a pretty cohesive scrappy team that has already made the playoffs without them. there's already some weird competition stuff that happens before anyone even meets and these guys are arguably weirder and full of more headgames than kawhi/pg.
