Daily News | NBA coaching carousel matchmaker: Who best fits with the Sixers, and who will land Nick Nurse?
The NBA coaching cycle is perhaps more Whack-a-Mole than carousel. A coach is let go by one team, but then pops up in another spot.
With anticipation that the competitive market could crank up before or after the holiday weekend, The Inquirer has attempted to figure that out with an all-in-good-fun game of matchmaker. One incorrect prediction likely throws off the entire puzzle, but here we go.Nurse might have first pick at the open jobs, becoming this cycle’s prominent domino that sparks all other movement.
Nurse is also quite familiar with taking over a team that has suffered through playoff failures season-after-season, and guiding them to the mountaintop. Additionally, he has experience with re-juggling after a star leaves, in the eventMorey said in his end-of-season news conference that he values how coaches build relationships with star players.
If those two are no longer sensible options for the Sixers, that leaves candidates such as former Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer, former Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel and Sixers assistant Sam Cassell. Sixers followers understand the caché that Doc Rivers’ name brings — and that, if preventing disappointing second-round playoff exits is the goal, he probably should not be the choice. Jordi Fernandez — who was a longtime assistant on Michael Malone’s Nuggets staff before joining the upstart Sacramento Kings – is a super-smart up-and-comer.
