It is not often that even one of the best head coaches in the league is available on the market, but there are a few of them available this time around.
Mike Budenholzer, Monty Williams, and Nick Nurse have all been let go by their respective teams and were always expected to generate a ton of interest. Nurse for one, is in the running for three of the most coveted jobs, as per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
“One major name on the carousel is Nick Nurse, who was let go by the Raptors after five seasons that included Toronto’s first NBA title. He is expected to begin his formal process with meetings with Milwaukee, Phoenix and Philadelphia and is expected to be in high demand and could possibly have his job to choose from, essentially his own selection process.”
The Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Phoenix Suns all displaying interest in him shows just how highly Nurse is viewed around the league. All those teams are in win-now mode and need someone like him who knows what it takes to get the job done in this league.
Nick Nurse Is Fully Capable Of Leading These Teams To Glory
Nurse had a terrific start to his head coaching career, as he led the Toronto Raptors to the first title in franchise history in 2019 in his first year in the job. They followed it up by going 53-19 in the 2019-20 campaign, even after the departure of Kawhi Leonard. The next three seasons haven’t seen a lot of success, but they didn’t really have a great team and struggled with injuries as well during that time.
If he gets to coach the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee or Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in Phoenix, you can totally envision those teams having a great deal of success. Going by Shams’ report, it appears he’ll be spoiled for choice and it’ll be interesting to see where he decides to go.
