Nick Nurse’s Toronto Raptors won a title on the shoulders of a Kawhi Leonard run for the ages + a great defense.
They lost Leonard, and STAYED in the 2 seed the next season.
I’m high on the hire even if I do think the jury is out on his offense:

Nick Nurse’s desire to coach MVP Joel Embiid and history with Daryl Morey played a “signifiant part” in his decision to coach the 76ers over the Suns, per @wojespn. pic.twitter.com/RMoqcl3keD – 6:15 PM

It’s not just that the 76ers hired Nurse to replace Doc
Nick Nurse got his PhD last year
So really
The 76ers replaced Doc Rivers

There’s a history between Nurse & Embiid. Can’t imagine the Sixers make this hire without their MVP signing off on it, which means there’s a mutual respect there too. Seems like an odd pairing but it’s not hard to see them bringing out the best in each other. Will be interesting. – 5:09 PM

Nurse has worked with Morey, so there is that familiarity, which is good.
But Embiid has thrown some barbs at Nurse before and what Nurse did with Raptors would not seem to be Embiid’s strengths. He’s creative enough to adapt, but it will be interesting. – 5:04 PM

I wrote about Nick Nurse more than any other Sixers coaching candidate last week, so much so that we used the picture of him and Joel as the cover art: theathletic.com/4539891/2023/0…
It’s a fascinating pairing on a lot of levels. – 5:02 PM

The Toronto Raptors had one winning record in the last 3 yrs in a mediocre Eastern Conf., and yet Raptors HC Nick Nurse and Raptors lead asst. Adrian Griffin were 2 of the 3 finalists for the Bucks HC position. Griffin would up with the gig.

Joel Embiid is facing numerous firsts.
First time he’s earned the majority of blame for a playoff outcome.
First time he’s earned the highest regular-season honor there is.
In case you missed it, column on how, for the first time, he’s a question:

Tatum had just 6 second half points and it’s not even a storyline cause his team won. Embiid must be at least a little jealous of that type of leeway. – 12:01 AM

Perhaps the best comparison for Joel Embiid’s path forward isn’t Dirk Nowitzki, Hakeem Olajuwon, or Michael Jordan.
Rather, it’s one of his peers.
A Saturday column reflecting on the Sixers’ new reality: Joel Embiid is a question, and that’s unsettling.

More on this storyline
Nurse’s desire to coach MVP Joel Embiid and his history with Sixers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey played a significant part in his decision to commit to a deal with Philadelphia, sources said. Nurse separated himself in the interview process, selling a vision for the Sixers centered on Embiid. -via ESPN / May 29, 2023
Tim Bontemps: Nurse has faced the 76ers twice in the playoffs – the epic seven-game series that ended with Kawhi Leonard’s legendary buzzer-beater in 2019 and last year’s six-game first round series. He and Joel Embiid have had some colorful back-and-forths over the past few years, as well. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / May 29, 2023
Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: Nick Nurse has reached an agreement to become the next coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. Nurse — who won an NBA championship and a coach of year award with Toronto — now gets to coach the 2023 MVP Joel Embiid. -via Twitter @wojespn / May 29, 2023
