The 2024 Offseason Thread

Something to keep an eye on. I don't expect it to happen, but it could trigger some late-season portal madness if it does (since you can enter the portal after the window closes if your coach leaves).

 
It has always been interesting to me that NBA teams give head coaching jobs to people with no experience (not even just NBA coaching experience, but experience in general). Steve Nash got a head coaching job. Steve Kerr. Jason Kidd. They’re talking about JJ Redick now. Dan Hurley has proven to be a good college coach but the jump to the Lakers HC is a big one. There’s obviously a level of risk involved in any hire but NBA teams seem willing to take on the risk.

How did that work out for Brad Stevens?

I’d say the chances are far better than you think that it happens
