The Nets and Steve Nash agree to mutually part ways.

Jacque Vaugh will be the acting head coach for the Nets.

Maybe it's time to bring Tacko Fall back.

I never thought Steve Nash belonged there. It was like mixing oil and water.
To me he was never dealt a hand to utilize. They made all these trades that were like oil and water. His big three never played together. His big two barely. To me it has less to do with Nash and more to do with who is running the team.

Nash needs to be in a stable organization. I'd like to see him back in Phoenix some day, or in an organization like the Spurs.

Opponents fear Bridges more than Ayton.
No one fears Bridges on offense. And the best players on offense, the Stephs, Lukas, even Paul George’s don’t fear him on D.

He’s a great defensive player, but not lockdown and has been making an ugly habit of completely disappears on offense in the playoffs outside of one game a series where he’ll look like an all-world player and then vanish.

Fans in some of those cities will start to revolt soon.
I'm actually kind of shocked no one has flipped and burned cars in LA yet.
Lots of teams will be blowing it up dec/jan maybe we can catch a PF or PG in the aftermath.
They can't flip and burn cars these days. That would waste too much gasoline. Its more precious than gold right now. If you are going to flip and burn a car you at least have to make sure the tank is empty.

With all the happenings around the NBA, I wonder if Robert Sarver is asking himself why he is selling the team.

that was my first thought. The Coach of the Year and Eastern Conference Champions did something so egregious that it got him suspended for a year... is handed a job two months later as his reward.

that's such a horrific message to send to women.

The nets owner seems to act like he’s above all this but he’s the one who allowed all this mess and still seems ok with questionable choices.

KD will be gone at the deadline. They will have trouble finding a taker for Kyrie or Ben

Hiring the Celtics guy seems like a perfect nets thing to do.

I remember the situation with Meyers Leonard as well.

Maybe stars get star treatment even off the court.

yup. if Kyrie was a benchwarmer, he'd be suspended and reprimanded to some kind of sensitivity program.

It feels like Kyrie has already worn out some people in several ways, does he still get a pass just because he’s talented?

It is weird he seems to have a longer leash.

This whole nets super team thing has been a car crash that you just can’t look away.

Reminds me of “not one, not two, not thee….” Only that team actuall did something on the court

Then the Nets appear set to hire a suspended coach.

A quick IQ test. What is wrong with this?
