Marks should be packing up his stuff too.
Who’s replacing him? He should be given a fair chance to fix it before anything like that. He’s 1-1 with Kenny and Steve.
He’s been damn near perfect with trades and drafting until we dealt for Harden.
That would be an incredibly short sided decision that could lead to worse outcomes. We don’t know how that could effect KD staying here.
We have no control over our picks for god knows how long, and he wasted two years of Durant's prime with Nash. I wouldn't be upset if he got canned along with Nash.
No GM should get to hire more than two coaches during their tenure.

Nash wouldn't be there if KD didn't aprove him. He also wanted Atkinson fired when he said he didn't see "championship habits". I don't think Marks had much choice even if he didn't want Nash. The decision to bring Nash to coach a team of this caliber might be the dumbest move I've ever seen in basketball. Complete waste of these 2 years of championship window.

Now we see what KD meant by his definition of "championship habits".
I've lost all respect for him

Nash is a poor coach overall but some people go overboard with the whole “no adjustments ever” type stuff.
Then he traded LeVert and Allen for Harden and it didn't pay off at all. Now he burned his bridge with Harden like he did with everybody else he worked with. NyCeEvO wrote:Revived wrote:

To be fair, I’m pretty sure most fans were critiquing the lack of meaningful adjustments on offense, not defense.
Sure, we ran different actions to try to get KD operating out of the high post, but at the end of the day, we all knew possessions were going to come down to KD and Kyrie ISO-ing with little off-ball movement.

Correct. Defense was not the issue, it was our offense. It stunk to high hell because it was predictable and Durant/Irving don't want to play a style of basketball that will make defenses shift and open up holes, they'd prefer to Isolate 1 on 5. They're idiots, and Nash is too for giving in to them because he's the one taking the lashing by the fanbase and media.
Stan's own brother pointed out how the Nets don't utilize any off ball actions on offense a week ago. When you have 4 guys standing around not moving it makes it very easy for a great defensive club like Boston to shut down what you're doing.
I get that SVG wants to stick up for his fellow coach, but if the Nets had Stan as a coach we would have probably still been playing right now.

Jeff VG? he will push defense and not sure about him managing Kyrie.
Anyway, Nash was not the right hire. And that’s not about Nash as a person, it’s about bringing in a guy without proper experience.

It feels like Stan is projecting. He probably believes he failed and was fired for things out of his control, so when he hears Nash’s list of excuses for why this season was so difficult, he sticks up for Nash like he probably wanted people to stick up for him.
