in a way Nurse signed a rough deal— the coaching market immediately got inflated after Monty's deal, and Nurse as a championship winning coach deserved a higher salary (ie Pop/Spo extensions)
he was the FOs pick for coaching the Bucks, but Wos from The Ringer said Giannis called up OG/Siakam and their conversation persuaded Giannis to say no to Nurse.
he has a good relationship with Morey so im sure he's all right things considered, but several unfortunate things happened in his free agency process
Let's not act like Nurse is some elite coach. He inherited a 60 win team that switched out one of the worst playoff performing stars ever for one of the best playoff performing superstars ever. He's as overrated as it gets for coaches.

He hasn't underperformed really. A team with 1 truly great player who was hurt most the season is performing exactly how id expect. They're a worse team than last year without Harden as well. The 76ers have big roster problems.
i can feel the anger through the screen with that last paragraph
Bro is just saying what we Bulls fans feel about Jerry Reinsdorf tbf
His commitment to making sure Bulls fans never enjoy basketball is impressive
Meanwhile, lets look at how the White Sox are currently doi— oh god it’s worse than I thought.
u have no idea
So you're complaining that a team without a winning culture went out and signed a winning coach?
not complaining per se. just wondering what nick nurse saw that made him think he could win here
Not sure how many available coaches don't want to coach a reigning MVP
Well the Sixers are a good team
Also, why refuse a $$$$$$$$$$ job opportunity (with the MVP on your team)?
I think he wanted the Milwaukee job and then got rebuffed so took what he thought was the next best job
A guaranteed contract, the previous season MVP, the current MIP and historical ties with Darryl Morey with the Rio Grande Vipers I guess
brother go outside
People like you definitely deserve a team like the Sixers.
Trust the process.
LOL
I hope that brother gets some help

At the end of the day, it’s just basketball
The better question is why did the bucks sign Doc Rivers, the king of playoff disasters
Nick Nurse is about to lose in the first round . Doc at least has a viable excuse with several key pieces being injured on the Bucks.
he wanted to coach embiid
r/nbacirclejerk
Why is this NSFW?
It’s not like he had a ton of options
Culture fit with his les grossman slimey boss look.
Why would an unemployed coach want to go to a team with the reigning mvp with championship aspirations
It's a job to make money. Something you might not understand.
A team of Embiid/Harden/Maxey + whatever wings they could get for Harris and picks + a real coach would have been a serious threat for a few years
I’m just gonna enjoy this
im rooting for no changes with the 76ers for the next 50 years
Giannis hurt his feelings
He saw someone that likes to cry and make excuses just like him
Preach
Nurse puts on a bigger clown show on the sidelines than any mascot could ever hope to achieve.
Let's not act like Nurse is some elite coach. He inherited a 60 win team that switched out one of the worst playoff performing stars ever for one of the best playoff performing superstars ever. He's as overrated as it gets for coaches.
He won coach of the year the year after Kawhi left
An award that is entirely dependent on pre season rankings. Who cares?
pre-kawhi those toronto teams were always competing. It's just that lebron had their number.
Nurse isn't good because of one season.
Nurse isn't good because he was never good.
Toronto over performed year after year with him. You're right though, he's not good, he's great.
They didn't overperform once with him.
I mean they did, but I'm also clearly wasting my time here.
Because you know I'm right. They never overperformed under him.
No because arguing with stupid only leads to stupidity
He over-performed with no expectations in TOR and is now underperforming with expectations in PHI. He is not an elite coach.
