“Now what becomes, what becomes of the Viennese waltzes”… But what happens to those that NBA coaches are undergoing at the moment? Nick Nurse, Mike Budenholzer and now Monty Williams thanked by the Suns, and the question today is who will take this vacant place in Phoenix. A few names have already been mentioned on the Arizona side.
As soon as a season ends, we all think that the players, the staff and the staff present in the offices all leave far from their place of work to decompress and come back stronger to prepare for the following season. But this year, the only Suns member on vacation is Monty Williams, and the only problem is that he left once morest his will. The Suns took the exit prematurely in the second round of the Playoffs once morest the Nuggets while Phoenix had nevertheless strengthened well at the trade deadline with the arrival of a very promising youngster named Kevin Durant. This elimination had a lot of collateral damage including a beautiful stray bullet in the leg of Monty Williams. Sunk touchdown, no more coach at the Suns. Today, it is therefore the front office which is not entitled to its fifteen days of paid leave and the latter are already in full recruitment with already three names in the small papers according to RealGM.
The first of the list does not necessarily speak to you, but Kevin Young is the current Suns assistant and would therefore be in sight for a promotion. Passed by the Sixers in the same position before taking the direction of the Western Conference, he had first cut his teeth in college basketball in Utah. The other two names are much better known. Mike Budenholzer, coach of the Bucks just fired following his elimination in the first round of the Playoffs is apparently already confident to coach a new superstar. Nick Nurse, champion with the Raptors in 2019, is looking to find a real franchise player, he who still has a nice photo of Kawhi Leonard framed on his bedside table.
Two names that have already proven themselves in the NBA with two fine league titles won in the last five seasons, and an assistant with potential. Three real candidates in the list of successors to Monty Williams. With a new coach and a good offseason, we hope that Phoenix can properly defend its place as a contender next season. Finally.
