With three years left on his contract, all the money guaranteed and all the time in the world to hang out with his growing family, Steve Nash is a very good bet to be the only person associated with the Brooklyn Nets to come out a winner. (michaelgrange)
Brooklyn NetsSure, he had a sterling reputation and a Hall-of-Fame playing career over 18 seasons, but he’d never been a head coach at any significant level before he was given what seemed like the cushiest job in the NBA: guiding superstars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and — eventually — James Harden to what many predicted would be multiple championships.
Coaches have been fired for less, and the expectation was that if the Nets struggled out of the game, a goat would have to be sacrificed. In this case it was Canada’s GOAT. It sounded good and was consistent with the energy Nash has always been able to project outwardly: steadfast, positive, resolute.
Now — reportedly — it will be former Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka, suspended for the year by the team for what ESPN and The Athletic have reported was an improper consensual relationship with a female staff member, who will get a chance if he can manage the next storm coming. In 2021, the Nets took the eventual NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks to a seventh game in the second round and might have eliminated them had Durant’s big toe not been on the line for what turned out to be a game-tying, buzzer-beating two rather than a series-ending three.
