Early Thursday morning, the Brooklyn Nets shocked the NBA universe by announcing their new head coach, Steve Nash.
The Brooklyn job was arguably the most attractive of all the head coaching vacancies this offseason. The Nets have two All-Stars, and one bona fide superstar in Kevin Durant, as well as a core of young players who punched above their weight in the bubble. They also occupy the same media market as the New York Knicks and thus enjoy a little less scrutiny whenever the Knicks do something stupid, which happens about 360 days a year.
