Nets warned against hiring Ime Udoka

Steve Nash got fired by Joe Tsai and the Nets, their answer to this new problem was Ime Udoka. However, there are “strong voices” urging Brooklyn to choose anyone else but Udoka. This is per Marc Stein as this is just another issue facing the Brooklyn Nets.

The other issues being Kyrie Irving (his suspension) and Kevin Durant’s rumors of demanding another trade.

Udoka is currently serving a one-year suspension from the Celtics for having an inappropriate relationship (violating their conduct policies) with a female staffer. Boston will not seek compensation for Ime Udoka’s contract termination, why? Because the organization never wanted to bring him back after the suspension.

With second thoughts looming, be prepared to see a new face in Brooklyn that isn’t Udoka. Maybe Tsai does hire him, maybe he doesn’t. However, there are strong advocates within the organization recommending against this hire.

Udoka hired as Nash fired – per the Nets

Ime Udoka is making a return to Brooklyn as Steve Nash has been fired by the team on Tuesday. It was a mutual agreement to part ways and end Nash’s first run as a NBA head coach.

Udoka is currently suspended for the entire 2022-23 season by the Celtics due to an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. However, Boston allowed the Nets to speak to Ime Udoka and hire him if they wanted to.

Per multiple reports, this can happen freely and without giving Boston something in return in exchange for the 2022 NBA Finals coach.

So Steve Nash’s coaching career could be over for now, while Ime Udoka is getting a second-chance in the NBA.

Ime Udoka suspended for entire season

Boston Celtic’s head coach Ime Udoka will be suspended for the entire season after reports came out of him having an improper relationship with a female staff worker. While consensual, it still went against the organization’s code of conduct.

Joe Mazzulla, assistant coach, will take over as their head coach on an interim basis. The Celtics have also stated that they will make a decision of Udoka’s future with the franchise at a later date.

Wyc Grousbeck, team’s owner, said their decision to suspen Udoka for the entire season came after an investigation by an independent law firm uncovered multiple violations of team policies.

The suspension will end on June 30th, 2023 – that is the final day of the 2022-23 league year.
