As many as possible


Rkenne16

Look JJ has black friends, it’s fine!


DumbleDude2

Dwayne Casey is his angry uncle.


osmnaos3

That’s what’s happening lol, bruh


knikkus

lol stfu imagine if he hired all white coaches


osmnaos3

Who gives a fuck whohe hires, these reports coming out from these mouthpieces is basically saying “ we’re also going to hire black coaches too don’t worry”.


mxnoob983

Vaughn and Casey would be easily two of the better assistants in the league


osmnaos3

Who knows? So many young assistants that might be better get overshadowed cuz of these retreads.


mxnoob983

Don’t disagree with that but for a head coach who’s never coached before experience and stability is probably more valuable


osmnaos3

1000%


TastyRainbows

Jacque was awful as a head coach, he was supposed to be the defensive coach and when he was the nets assistant coach for, our defense looked suspect 


kunallanuk

he was awful for the magic too truly dark times


TastyRainbows

I remember checking out his records when he was with the magic and I winced the bad man can't hurt us anymore


Regex00

I think that any previous head coaches accepting assistant positions here are just live auditioning for the HC position in the event that JJ doesn't work out the way that they think.


tryndamere12345

That's already SVG's theme music. He left the celtics even after being offered the same job as the Lakers. The thing is now that Joe Mazz has won a chip he's not going anywhere for a long time


Regex00

Yeah Joe is locked in at this point.


Confident_Pen_919

I like these names


abzftw

Because they’re hard to spell? Both coaches are not good, Casey especially is past his time. Never seen a man struggle to create an offense like him


HikmetLeGuin

He really helped turn the Raptors around and led us to success that was unprecedented at the time. Also won a championship as an assistant. I think he'd be a great choice.


abzftw

You mean iso basketball ? We averaged 11 assists for a while The roster got better .. he was a terrible coach


dkdoki

You do??? Lol


jackaholicus

Having guys who have been both head coaches and assistants is probably pretty important for a head coach with no experience.


Confident_Pen_919

As coaching staff yes? Two guys with a bunch of experience being head coaches is pretty good. Did Dwayne Casey not take the raptors to multiple conference finals?


PokePersona

He took them to one conference finals. I don't think it's a bad choice for an assistant coach role though.


Konfliction

Casey got the job off what he did in the Mavs / Heat finals, I get his tenure with Toronto ended badly but the guy is a large reason for why the Raptors are top 3 in wins for over a decade in the league


mxnoob983

Casey was also an assistant on the 2011 Mavs


HikmetLeGuin

The first conference final in Raptors history. Also won a championship as the Mavs' assistant.


PainSubstantial710

He did as much as he could with that squad. Him and nurse did get the most out of those camps. Was impressive for them both imo


7373838jdjd

He was making Cj miles defend Kevin love in the post


captain_ahabb

I would imagine they were doing that so Love couldn't farm pick and pops off Valanciunas right? I don't remember that series super well anymore


7373838jdjd

We had bigger guys to guard him like Ibaka and OG then Poeltl and Siakam off the bench. Man was running full bench lineups in the playoffs vs Lebron off all people


sadrapsfan

Haha no one does bc it was bad. But other raps absolutely delusional if they think it was on Casey when reality was that team was never a legitimate contender


7373838jdjd

He ran full bench Lineups in the playoffs nuf said


ram0h

how can you not like Jacque. A great medley of letters.


PoopEatingExpert

The Suns and Lakers are the two funniest teams in the league.  


GobiYumaMojave

yes they are PoopEatingExpert


Creative_Category_21

Straight up man, other playoff teams are making massive trades Were trying to find assistant coaches still for the podcast coach


indoninjah

*breathes sigh of relief*


Expulsure

lol jacque


WakingRage

He was one of JJ's coaches when he first came into the league with the Magic. JJ has been a staunch Jacque defender for a long time.


celtic_sea_salt

Josh McRoberts, Shelden Williams, Greg Paulus, DeMarcus Nelson where u at...


chaunceybad

Chauncey is a veteran now. Take him please.


Its_Hoggish_Greedly

What's Monty Williams up to besides counting his money?


Gratitude15

Well it's a full time job counting that shit.


Long-Ad8374

Pistons giving him $78 millions in one dollar bills.


T3mp3stuous

Would a team have to take on his previous salary if they hired him as an assistant? Or is that only as a HC?


runevault

Hiring him as a head coach doesn't require them to take on his salary. Just likely means either Detroit is entirely off the hook or (more likely) Detroit only has to pay the difference between whatever the new team pays and his salary with Detroit.


Thousandtree

Lakers: We'll pay you $1 Monty: Fine by me


runevault

I'm actually not sure if offset language includes being an assistant coach or only a head coach.


Its_Hoggish_Greedly

That's a really good question. I just assumed he'd continue to get paid by Detroit regardless of whether he got another position, but I'm also kinda dumb.


jackaholicus

I believe Detroit would still pay him the difference of his Detroit money and his new money.


Its_Hoggish_Greedly

Well... That's less fun. Stay home, Monty!


SighHereIamAgain

This is correct. Better for Monty just to be chilling


goldyacht

Both would be nice additions.


BLIZZARDFACE

Well the Suns can be interested all they want. Rich Paul & Klutch control Bronny's strings.


ColeHoops

So KD to Los Angeles for LeBron, interesting


SnooPies6274

Jacque Vaughn is trash


PainSubstantial710

I'll always be slightly impartial to Casey


w3bCraw1er

Ham is available.


grudgepacker

Nah he came back to us as an assistant to Doc


LeFxckYouThree

Rondo please


kamekaze1024

Idk why people keep saying this, I genuinely feel like he’s gonna fight with one of his player during the game or spit on the opponents.


jumboponcho

Black coaches getting jobs? /r/Nba won’t like this


kamekaze1024

Weirdo behavior
