Like the Bucks, Suns and Sixers, the Raptors are looking for a coach, and they still haven’t found what they’re looking for. To replace a coach of the caliber of Nick Nurse, you need a shoe size and The Athletic announces that management has met Steve Nash ! Legend of Canadian basketball, Nash is the GM of the national team, and he comes out of a very complicated first experience on the side of Brooklyn.
In two seasons and a few months, he won 94 matches for 67 defeats, a record of 58.4%. More than the positive balance sheet, we will remember failures in the playoffs, and especially this inability to manage the egos of its stars: Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden. The former Suns point guard tried to do his best, but he took the door because his message was no longer getting through. Finally, a few weeks after him, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant left the ship to join Dallas and Phoenix.
Before Nash, the Raptors met Becky Hammon, David Adelman, JJ Redick and Sergio Scariolo. Nash is, on paper, the only one to have ever coached in the NBA.
