NBA Rumors: Nets’ Steve Nash Targeting Lakers Assistant Phil Handy

The Brooklyn Nets made a surprise move by hiring Steve Nash to be the franchise’s next head coach. While Nash is an NBA legend and one of the greatest point guards of all-time, he is yet to coach a team and now inherits a team facing lofty expectations with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Jacque Vaughn, who served as the interim head coach after the team fired Kenny Atkinson in the middle of the season, became Nash’s lead assistant instead of remaining at his current position. Now, with a few months until the 2020-21 season begins, the Nets are looking to fill out the remainder of their coaching staff.
