The Nets Are Already a Disgrace. Hiring Ime Udoka Will Make Things Worse.

Between Kyrie Irving’s recent antisemitic tweets, the now-fired Steve Nash’s defense of the point guard and the franchise’s likely hiring of the suspended Udoka, Brooklyn has become a mess created by cowardice.

The Nets are absolutely tired of letting talented people get away with whatever they want. Their solution is to hire Ime Udoka.

Oh, sure. Makes perfect sense.

Udoka apparently misbehaved so much with the Boston Celtics that they basically fired him without firing him, even after a wildly successful season. If the Nets are the place for Udoka, as ESPN and Sports Illustrated have reported, then I wonder whether they’ll give him the full employee handbook or the limited-edition Kyrie Irving version, in which half the pages are ripped out.
