Steve Nash's departure from Nets confirms obvious issues within Brooklyn's franchise

The Nets' problems won't end by simply parting ways with Nash

Steve Nash is gone. The Brooklyn Nets' problems are not.

On Tuesday, in deciding to "part ways" with their embattled head coach, the Nets simply looked at the three-ring circus that often doubles for an NBA organization and opted to oust the guy easiest to fire.

There's no easy way to know if Steve Nash, a beloved Hall of Fame player who had exactly zero coaching experience before his appointment in 2020, qualifies as a good head coach. His tenure has disguised his excellence or shortcomings -- everything about him and this team has faded behind the normal eclipse one can see when surrounded by massive stars.
