Head Coaching Candidates - Finalists Nurse/Atkinson/Griffin - Another New Poll Added

[paulpressey25]

Monty is a great guy and class act. But he’s Bud light in the coaching department.

[SirChurros]

How long do we think this plays out? I know it's only been what, a week?

[JayMKE]

Monty would be a disaster, would legit rather have Doc, it seems like the Suns are interested the same coaches and players as we are ugh. Feel like Suns have more of a plan than we do, Horst in over his head again. By my estimate Monty is the most overrated coach in the league, we don’t need a coach to run the prayer circle and doubles down on the worst qualities of Bud. People think this guy is a good coach, its insane

Remember Monty has CP3 in Phoenix as basically on court coach too, he’d be totally exposed here. Would legit rather offer CP3 the job, Monty should do TV or run a camp for disadvantaged children or something.

Already a better list than the Bucks have been linked too

I have this feeling the Suns hire Bud and the Bucks hire Monty.

[RubberSoul]

Horst really is clueless. Suns within 12 hours linked to all the top available names meanwhile Horst interviewing retreads nobody has thought about for years like Scott Brooks or literally just using the same names from the candidate list 5 years ago. We look rudderless as an organization.

No surprise there will be immediate leaks from the Suns with Ishbia in charge. With Lasry out the Bucks don't have a leaker. The names tied to the Bucks for the most part are coaches under contract where we've had to ask permission and that's where the leaks come from. From teams and/or agents. Or someone like Reddick who's agent has every incentive to leak.

As for those 3 names Young is their assistant and will get a courtesy interview. No real reason for him to he on our radar. Bud obviously isn't on our list. And since we don't need permission to talk to Nurse you can bet we've had conversations with him. We just haven't leaked it. He may not even want to come here.

Bottom line is the leaked Suns list isn't automatically "better".

And who is or isn't on a list is irrelevant anyway. It depends who actually gets the job.

And whoever it is will get roasted here by some as we all have our ideas of who it should and shouldn't be.

It seems kind of weird to be blasting Horst based on leaked info that you can be sure isn't 100% complete or accurate.

I'm not as confident that we've talked to Nurse as you are. Maybe but we've atleast heard rumblings we are interested in Lue, we got confirmation we are interviewing Borrego who is someone we didn't need to ask permission for, we didn't need to ask permission for Lee either. So it's possible we are interviewing other candidates but we've got nothing at all that has shown we have any interest in Nurse or vice versa. The list we do have evidence of though is a very underwhelming list meanwhile the Suns have already been linked to 3 separate Championship winning Head coaches

[MickeyDavis]

Borrego is the classic agent getting his name out there guy.

You could be right about Nurse. Maybe for some reason we aren't interested in him. If that's true I'd be pissed. I'm fine with some of the other candidates but Nurse has to be at least be approached.

Very possible Nurse would like to team up with Kawhi again in LA. Or thinks a Durant/Booker pairing is alluring.

[Coach Carter]

Horst will prob hire Monty because he helped Giannis win his first ring by not building a wall.

Couple of people need to study this post.

[MuckyFingers]

Juat read where suns are going to try n pry away lue from the clips not great news on that front if true cause then that opens clips job

Meanwhile the Bucks are interviewing Scott Brooks.

[sidney lanier]

I wonder if we'll see the overtures to Nurse ratchet up in this cuckoo's nest now that a Monty holler might let us make a deal.

If we weren't interested in Nurse , then that is a travesty ! Horst job should be in jeopardy if it's not already !
Maybe Nurse isn't interested , but why would he not! I don't understand why he wouldn't and that's why I don't believe that we would not be interested. Now that the suns job is open its probably a preferred destination.

If that's the case I would look hard at Quinn from the Spoelstra coaching tree! Hopefully he can bring the same in game play and adjustments , no more random school yard crap !

Want a coach who can extend Giannis's career some by not have him run into a wall every possession !

Right. Give it until end of June and you can put out a verdict on Horst. Draft will be done, big moves will have already happened on the free agent front and a coach will be in place.

[Daver]

Im hoping by midweek we will hear something and im still under the mindset that if nurse wasnt interested in voming here you would of heard a blip or a burb from wojo or anyone with connections.Thst hasnt been talked about so until i see something like that i still feel nurse is the guy it would be a jailable offense or better yet a fireable offense if horst doesnt get this guy

[MickeyDavis]

If we actually hire Borrego or Brooks I'll be pissed. In the meantime it's just as PP said, good business and basketball practice to interview a slew of guys and pick their brains about the current and possible future makeup of our team.

Isnt part of that running into that wall part of the other teams disrespect of our 3 pt shooting every playoff we basically morph into the badgers shooting 3s.Wouldnt more consistent 3 pt shooting alleviate the wall

[MVP2110]

It's weird to me how many people assume we are talking to a coach we haven't been linked to at all. Like yea it's certainly possible we are talking to other coaches that haven't been named but also maybe we aren't. We know of some coaches they have talked too specifically

[Daver]

If this board had a choice between KD and brooks and monty when all is said n done whats the braintrust of this board taking
