The stability and unity of a team not only affects the team's performance, but also affects the team's championship cause.
Looking at the most turbulent team in the NBA in the past three years, it must be the Brooklyn Nets.
If Nash's first season in charge of the Nets was not achieved entirely because of injuries, after all, the team's ace Durant has been on the wall all season.
The following season, the team gathered the Big Three of Durant Irving and Harden, but that year's Nets playoff Eastern Conference semifinal defeat to the Bucks was the beginning of the team's decline.
In the following season, Irving was involved in the "vaccine storm" for almost an entire season because of the so-called faith, coupled with Durant's stoppage, the Nets' record of winning more and losing more and less finally became the last straw that broke Harden, and finally the disheartened Harden proposed a trade application to go to Philadelphia...
The Nets' big three standard equipment evolved into Nets twins, the team's strength was greatly reduced, and the first round of the playoffs faced the Green Army without the slightest strong team style, and was finally swept out by the Green Army...
When Nets management traded Harden for Simmons, it exacerbated the team's rate of failure.
Harden can easily cut 30+ per game on any team, and Simmons seems to be moving in the direction of "refusing to shoot", in addition to defensive and organizational skills, the role of the offensive end is negligible...
However, the only measure of victory and defeat in competitive sports is not to look at how well the two teams score.
How valuable is a player from a top background when his offensive contribution is lackluster?
But if the Nets exchanged Harden for a star of equal ability, the Nets would definitely not fall here.
So blaming Nash for the Nets' dismal start this season is obviously not fair to the latter.
In an interview after the Suns' win over the Timberwolves yesterday, Suns coach Monty said in an interview that he hasn't seen a head coach deal more with non-basketball than Nash in recent years.
Warriors coach Kerr also supported Nash in an interview.
He said Nash was a good friend of his, and he felt Nash had all the qualities of a successful coach, but a stable environment is critical to success in this league as a coach, and neither of him nor Heat coach Spoelstra would do better than Nash if he and Heat head coach Spoelstra were left in that environment.
If there were not too many off-court factors, no Irving's vaccine storm, no Harden and Durant have applied for a trade, and even no serious injuries to the team, maybe Nash is still coaching the Nets now...
Nash is undoubtedly a good player, but as a head coach, it is clear that the Nets' coaching experience has not been successful, at least not as successful as expected...
