With Kevin Durant in Brooklyn alongside Kyrie Irving and a roster filled with talented pieces, whoever takes over head coaching duties for the Nets on a permanent basis is being handed a contender right away.
But, the Nets aren’t the only team with an interesting roster looking for a new head coach this offseason.
Alvin Gentry’s time in New Orleans is over, which means the Pelicans are looking to pair the right head coach with Zion Williamson.
On Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers moved on from Brett Brown after they were swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 2020 NBA Playoffs.
Whether it’s the Nets, Pelicans or 76ers, one name has popped up with each of these coaching vacancies: Ty Lue.
Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer linked Lue to the Sixers job on Monday, reporting both sides “have mutual interest.” And while Lue is “intrigued” with the position in Philly, he “expects an offer from the Brooklyn Nets.”
