Top 10 potential head coaches of NBA: Who will take office in the new season?

Last season (end to the end of the playoffs), 30 NBA teams replaced a total of 7 head coaches (including Popovich's stroke). Although the number is not exaggerated, the drama and amazingness are enough to be recorded in history.

Nuggets and Grizzlies fired meritorious coaches Mike Malone and Jenkins respectively in the critical stages of the playoffs, while the Knicks won the "farm boss" Siberdu just because they did not enter the finals.

These coaches who have received great praise in recent years have not taken charge of the new team this year, which has also made their peers feel uncomfortable.

Once there is a turmoil in leading the team next season, you might have to change your position with them. Let’s take a look at the top ten popular coach candidates in the NBA circle.

⑩Budenholzer

As soon as the season ended, the Suns couldn't wait to fire head coach Budenholzer, although we all know that the Phoenix mess was almost no one able to handle.

And the Suns' bad 24-25 season also damaged Coach Buden's reputation. Although he had no tricks in the key situation before, he was a good player in building a system to compete in the regular season, whether in the Hawks or the Bucks.

He is only 55 years old and is at the golden age of the head coach. I believe that any ambitious team will not ignore him.

Vogel

Another former coach of the "Solar System" is still receiving the severance payments from the team, but with his talent, he does not have to worry about not having a future home.

He led the Lakers to win the 19-20 season championship. He was fired that year because he couldn't lead Westbrook well. As a result, it turned out that no one could really solve the problem of the 36-year-old young man making trouble on the court, and even Mike Malone lost his job before the end of the season.

The most important thing is that the league is back to the big guy leading the way and all teams are crazily hoarding the inside, which is what Coach Vogel is best at and looks forward to his return.

⑧Monty Williams

Another Suns coach, although he later had a failed experience at the Pistons.

But coaching at both ends seems to have allowed people to see the true level of Coach Monty. Without Paul, his Suns looked no different from 20 years ago. He was not successful in cultivating Cunningham, and even won a record 28 consecutive losses.

He was not as bad as he was at the Pistons, but he was definitely not as slapped as the champion coaches such as Spoo and Cole in the 20-22 years. After leading the Knicks to the second best regular season record in the 21st century, and eliminating the defending champion Celtics and entering the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000, Tom Siberdu was quickly dismissed for losing to the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

You can say that his farmer basketball is not popular with players, or that his on-site command is rigid and not even very advanced in tactics.

But he can maximize the combat power of existing players.

Siberdo, who is 67 years old, is the oldest coach in the league last season. Whether he returns does not depend on the team, but on himself.

⑥ Jenkins

Compared with Xibedo, Jenkins was fired by the Grizzlies last season. We don’t know if this young Grizzlies, who has taken one step at a time since 2019 and became a Western Conference strong team, is also facing the "seven-year itch" with the players.

But it is certain that this young coach who is only 40 years old and has a good reputation in the league has no worries about not having a job in the future.

⑤Joelge

Many people have forgotten this Jenkins' ex, but in fact he led the Grizzlies to perform very strongly in the three seasons of 13-16.

In recent years, he has been the chief think tank of Rivers, helping this "Let 's Go" chicken soup coach deal with the stadium issues.

With the return of the trend of NBA big man, perhaps the league teams will think of him soon.

④Davin Hamm

I know there are many people, especially many Lakers fans, who look down on him.

But the fact is that when he took over, the Lakers couldn't even make the 11th playoff in the Western Conference the previous season.

has made the playoffs in both seasons, one in the Western Conference Finals and one in the Mid-Season Cup championship, and both times lost to the league's No. 1 Jokic.

In the NBA circle, no one will regard Ham's Lakers experience in the past two years as a stain.

Whether Rivers is fired midway through the new season or other teams are going to change coaches, you will definitely see Ham's name on the candidate list.

③Sam Kassel

As Kassel, who became a legendary generation because of his strange appearance and super key ball ability when he was young, has been a popular candidate for teams in the league to find head coaches.

But unexpectedly refused to invite a lot of thought to level up in various teams. He has served as assistant coach for 16 years in the Wizards, Clippers, 76ers, and Celtics, and won the championship with the Celtics last season.

has also become the only one to participate in Celtic's last two championship journeys (a player in 2008).

Where will this 55-year-old legendary guard start his head coaching career, we will wait and see.

②Mica Nori

As the Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, head coach Finch and his coaching staff are increasingly attracting attention from the league.

And the most eye-catching and most likely to go out alone is assistant coach Mika Nori.

The 51-year-old assistant coach has worked for the Raptors, Kings, Nuggets, Pistons and Timberwolves since the 2009-10 season. He has played for another champion coach, Mike Malone, for five years, and then studied under another best coach winner, Casey.

And the talent that NBA really knows around Fincher. After Fincher was injured in the first round of the playoffs last year, he commanded and eliminated the Suns.

Last year, he was a potential target for the Lakers, and I believe he has had only a handful of time to assist Finch.

① Mike Malone

As the head coach who just won the championship two years ago, Malone's departure can be said to be sudden and outrageous, and the hidden truth may become a secret that has been sealed for a long time.

But it is certain that his coaching career is far from over. He was already a popular candidate for the Knicks, Spurs and other teams during the offseason, but he was in the end.

Perhaps he is waiting for an invitation that cannot be rejected.
