Nash: Grateful for his help

Beijing time on July 29 news, from ESPN famous reporter Adrian Wonarovsky reported that well-informed sources revealed that Mike D'Antoni will leave the Nets coaching staff and no longer serve as the team's assistant coach.

The 70-year-old D'Antoni has resigned, and the running master is expected to become the manager of a team again in the future, according to sources. Prior to that, D'Antoni was on the trail Blazers' final roster.

In the offseason last year, D'Antoni stopped coaching the Rockets and traveled to Brooklyn to assist Steve Nash, the first time Nash had become an NBA manager since retiring. When Nash was still playing for the Suns as a player, the manager was D'Antoni, and the two had many years of experience working together.

After D'Antoni's departure, Nash issued a statement in which he said: "I would like to thank Mike (D'Antoni) for his help to me and the team this year. Getting his help in my first year of coaching was priceless to me. I will always be grateful for his help to me, while always cherishing the friendship between us. Mike has benefited our whole team and we sincerely hope that all the best for Mike and his family in the future. ”
