I read somewhere today that someone within the Nova lockerroom was asked if Wright would ever consider coming to coach the Sixers and it was an emphatic no. Due to the fanbase, and his goal of becoming a legendary college coach. Not worth the risk to him.

Jay Wright seems to be popular. Some have also mentioned the Van Gundys.

Kenny Atkinson please. What he did last year with the Nets was really impressive

My gut tells me it’s going to be Cassell. I really want to to be Wright though.

That's definitely Woj carrying a little water for Lue.

I like how he just says fired and not the more politically correct term "part ways". But this was a change that should have happened last year.

I don't know why every team is fascinated in Ty Lue.

I don't think Wright will leave Nova to coach this team. Hell no to multi-team retreads who never won a title like the Van Gundys. I'd rather take a chance on Kenny Atkinson who IMO got a raw deal in Brooklyn or make history by hiring Becky Hammond.

Felt that way when I was reading it too. Idk. Make better choices then I would, please. Otherwise you just have an over opinionated ass hat saying what he thinks needs to happen.

I don't get it either. does letting Lebron do whatever he wants on the court even count as coaching?

I'd be fine with anyone that isn't named Tyronn Lue! I don't know why he is worshiped the way he is around the league. The guy is a goofball!

The fact that he implies that there will be more major changes n the offseason is frightening.

I guess we will have to trust Brand.

The Sixers need someone who will command respect and get through to the young players. Embiid can no longer come into the season out of shape and Simmons can't continue to avoid shooting. The young guys need to be held accountable for improving each and every off-season. I don't know which coach will do this, but it needs to be a selection requirement. No more coddling.
