[Alves] Rockets want to interview Nurse but don’t want to guarantee him the job. Nurse wants his money, doesn’t want to coach the Raptors, but wont leave without a guarantee from his next team. Raptors want Nurse gone, but don’t want to fire him, since then they’d have to pay him
My current read on the Nurse situation with the #Rockets:
Rockets: want to interview him and consider him, but don't want to guarantee him the job already
Nurse: wants his money (8M/1y left on deal), doesn't want to coach the Raptors, but wont leave without a guarantee from his… pic.twitter.com/vj1nGGOwb0

We’ll know by tomorrow mornings press conference if nurse is staying on for next year. No way they delayed this presser for a week and still have no clear answer on the coach.
You cut out a pretty vital part of the tweet when he said “My read on the Nurse situation”. It’s speculation, not fact. And from a Rockets podcaster with his paypal link in his bio lol
Hope the Sixers get bounced then, Nurse either ends up in Philly or Houston if Harden goes back
that’s a lot of certainty from this Alves guy
Trade him for Tyty Washington Jr and a pick
FWIW, in Grange’s piece today he says it’s more and more likely that Nurse sticks around.
Which really brings into focus what they’re going to do with the roster, because IDK how you can keep the core after all of this with the same coach.
It’s like a disgusting love triangle.
Great so we run it back in a situation where either parties really want to be there
if he doesnt wanna be here he should just leave. if this is true this is not a good look.
Probably bs but aligns with the tardy Ujuri presser
Lmfao this is like an ugly divorce
Rockets should just guarantee him the job and this will be settled
There is no way this guy knows what Masai and Bobby are thinking. This just his own armchair expert take.
Hey all, just saying. The fans who were saying early in the season when the entire team looked like they wanted to quite in like December and everyone said Fred was poisoning the lockerroom and Nurse lost the team.
It looks like they knew what was going on with at least half of it huh!
Short answer: more of the same next year.
Fake fucking news
Who is Alves?
MLSE can easily afford to fire Nurse if Raptors really wanted too. I can’t see them hesitant to fire Nurse because of a money issue
Unreliable source
My current read on Nurse
He is going to be the new commissioner of NBA
Well that truly is a dilly of a pickle
