Whether or not Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are in Brooklyn or not, all indicators are Steve Nash will stay the Nets head coach.

And he’ll have extra strain on him than ever earlier than.

He might have an expensive star-studded contender with what might be one-year championship window and no extra alibis. Or if the Nets acquiesce to Durant’s commerce request, Nash might find yourself with a troublesome rebuild on his fingers, working with a depleted roster and a reshuffled teaching workers.

Both manner, the 48-year-old goes to have his work reduce out for him in 12 months 3 on the bench. Nash has seen his rotations and his endgame administration questioned. In final season’s playoff sweep by the hands of the Celtics, his perceived lack of strategic changes got here below hearth. Then this offseason, the Nets misplaced three full-time assistant coaches and a bunch of different priceless staffers. The microscope of the NBA world will likely be on him.
