Tiktukno: summary of today's events in sports, 1.11 (Sport1)

Last August, it was reported in the United States that Kevin Durant gave the Brooklyn Chiefs an ultimatum: fire Steve Nash and Sean Marks, or I'm leaving.

The Nets chose to continue with their coach and general manager, but the inevitable upheaval was nevertheless completed tonight (Tuesday), just seven games into the season, when the disappointing All-Star team parted ways with their coach, seemingly by "mutual decision."

The American media were not surprised by the move.

"I don't really understand how layoffs can be a joint decision," claimed American journalist Jonathan Fagan.

"There are a lot of guilty parties in Brooklyn, and as expected, Steve Nash is the one paying the price."

Fred Katz of The Athletic added: "I never understood the strategy of firing coaches after single games. If you didn't want Nash so much at the beginning of the season, wouldn't you have had a better chance to make the change in the summer and let the new coach prepare the team for the season? And if so You wanted him, so this is an impulsive move."

"Since January, Nash has looked very tired of all the drama surrounding the Nets," ESPN's Nick Friedel analyzed.

"In the last few days it felt like the decision was getting closer. No one in the Nets management can be surprised that this is how things turned out."

Fox's Melissa Rollins added: "Steve didn't get a chance to show what he can do. Kyrie Irving's refusal to get vaccinated, James Harden's demand to leave, Durant's trade demand, Kyrie's latest scandal, Ben Simmons' struggles. It couldn't have been To destroy is a more difficult way."

Now, it's easy to go back, to some of the quotes provided by Durant and Kyrie Irving, right at the beginning of Nash's tenure.

Only a month after being appointed to the position, Irving stated: "I don't really think we have a head coach. Durant can be a coach. I can be a coach."

Durant himself uttered similar words and claimed: "It's a joint effort by everyone."

And what about the replacement?

Jacques Vaughn will step into Nash's shoes temporarily, with the leading candidate to serve as permanent coach being Ima Yudoka, who was suspended by Boston until the end of the season and his status is unclear.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, this may happen in the next 24-48 hours, as advanced talks between the parties have already begun.

Yudoka, who served as Nash's assistant before accepting the Celtics job, "would be a very logical replacement for Nash," argued Jay King of "The Athletic," "if Broccoli can ignore the big mess that caused his suspension from Boston."

According to reports, even though it is a direct rival at the top of the Eastern Conference, Boston is expected to listen to offers about Judoka.

"They are very pleased with Joe Mazzola and the way he is leading the club," tweeted Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe.

"Therefore, it is likely that they will be willing to listen to offers. The chances of Yudoka returning to coach the Celtics are lower than they were about a month ago."

According to Shams Charania, Boston will not even demand compensation for the man who led them to the NBA Finals last year.

Another name that has been raised in recent hours is that of Mike D'Antoni, who served as Nash's assistant, and according to reports is being evaluated by Durant and Irving.
