Do we know those 4 are the finalists? I read it as 4 who will be interviewing, not necessarily a finalist?

KD and Cp3 would be difficult to coach. They would constantly second guess and question the coach's decision. Our guys are much easier to coach our culture is also better

Could be Griffin is the best candidate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I refuse to believe he's the best candidate, even if you wanted a young up and coming assistant you could pick one without the DV baggage Griffin has.

This kinda seems like him throwing **** against the wall and if he’s right he gets to own that. If we get Nurse nothing comes of it.

Yeah he definitely has had less suns info since Sarver started distancing from the team (even before his ouster).

Two other guys he seems to have a line to are Danny Ainge and **** Jason Kidd.

Note, I can't stand gambo. He's a blowhard and d-bag. I don't know how people listen to him on the radio every day. But I follow him on Twitter because he does get some NBA info.

Nurse making it to PHX final list adds to ur point. He's leading +275 to be next PHX coach

What's Young's odds? I actually think he's going to get the gig.

Are we really going to hire Adrian Griffin after all this? If so, Giannis better sign his extension this fall…

Kyrie & KD are knobs. They ran Atkinson outta town first. Steve was an offensive genius as a PG, don't doubt it won't translate to coaching.

They interviewed f'n "MAMA THERE GOES THAT MAN™

I don't see why not at the very least talk to him.

Superstars make **** coaches. Always have.

Milbucks96 · Post #1735 » by **Milbucks96** » Wed May 24, 2023 4:04 am

If it’s get Giannis to sign for more years **** it. More years mean more assets in a potential trade down the line
8-)

. If he’s not signing nothing then get the best coach that wants to come here. If that all sums up to be Griffen, thats even better.

The coach has to get superstar buy in, role player buy in and figure out an offensive and defensive system to win a title.

There are plenty of coaches who coached superstars who didn't become made men.

Unless you remember Bill Fitch or Don Chaney for example.

They both coached Hakeem before Tomjanovic.

I remember Don Chaney could throw hands.

Looks like he could be related to Portis.

I'm sure RS will jump in, but I think he means former player superstars who go into coaching do not have success.

Correct. But I did smile when I saw Chaney's name.
