Williams' coaching style is Rivers type, but his tactical level is much worse than Rivers.

Strictly speaking, he should be a bit like former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson.

In the two years after Tang Tian became the owner, he led the team to rise, and twice came close to the best head coach.

In terms of overall evaluation, he is still very compatible with this Pelican team and Tang Tian.

It's similar to when Mark Jackson was with the Warriors.

But just like he didn't win the best manager, Williams' performance was difficult to satisfy the management because of his own tactical limitations.

Especially in this year's playoffs, the Pelicans were hit by opponents several times, and the timeouts were slow.

If it weren't for Tang Tian's 63-point game, the Pelicans would have stopped in the Western Conference semifinals.

And it is a bit similar to the original Warriors, Tang Tian, Davis, and Jokic's core lineup is full of offensive talent, but the Pelicans have no formed offensive system, and the average points per game are not high.

That's what Demps is talking about now.

With the Warriors as a lesson in the past, management wants to change a capable head coach.

Tang Tian understands all these situations.

But Williams has helped the Pelicans a lot in the past two years, and emotionally, he doesn't want to give his opinion on this kind of thing.

It's good that Temples is willing to listen to his advice, but sometimes it's a little worse when it comes to choice.

It's not appropriate to trade Cole at the beginning and talk to him about changing coaches now.

"Mr. Benson has already decided that he is going to change the head coach, which is not something that anyone else can change, and you don't have to worry too much about Monty's market, he has been leading the Pelicans for two years and playing so well, it is not difficult to find a new job."

Demps saw that Tang Tian had not spoken, and then added.

He said that the previous sentence was to tell Tang Tian that it was imperative to change the commander, and the latter was to let Tang Tian pass the hurdle in his heart.

Tang Tian nodded.

He's not an emotionless, cold-blooded animal, but he also knows when to say what to say and what not to say.

Now that the management has decided, it is useless for him to insist.

Like Curry, he expressed his displeasure with Mark Jackson's fire, but it didn't help.

"If Monty hadn't found a job as head coach on another team, if he wanted to, I think it would be nice to bring him back as the head assistant coach, he's one of the best in the league in terms of developing players and boosting morale."

Tang Tian said after thinking for a while.

Sacking the head coach and letting him go as an assistant coach is something that seems unacceptable.

So Tang Tian said a premise, if Williams didn't go to other teams as head coaches.

After all, there are only 30 head coach positions in the NBA, excluding Popovich and Carlisle, there are not many opportunities.

When Mark Jackson was fired by the Warriors, no one wanted him, so he had to return to TNT to continue as a commentator.

Demps nodded.

Williams is a charismatic coach and they get along very well.

If that were the case and Williams was willing to come back, he would have done it.

"Does management have a target candidate?"

The words have already been said for this part, Tang Tian asked.

"Mike D'Antoni."

Demps gave Tang Tian an answer.

'D'Antoni hasn't been going well in New York and Los Angeles, but that doesn't overshadow his excellent attacking system, and Mr. Benson admires him and wants him to do the same thing as Steve Kerr.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

Benson seems to like the Warriors.

But it's also human, and the Warriors' transition from second-rate to championship in a season is certainly remarkable.

Now the Pelicans look a little like the Warriors a year ago.

Now pick a D'Antoni who is also good at attacking.

This is completely understandable.

And D'Antoni went to the Rockets to liberate Harden and play magic ball in history, which also made the Rockets the favorites to win the championship.

Now the Pelicans have the ball, Ariza, Holiday and Morrow are a kind of shooter, plus Davis and Jokic, which is also in line with the magic ball.

It's not bad to have him coach the Pelicans.

As for the problem of defense, it would be nice to have an assistant coach who is good at defense.

The original Rockets were invited Jeff Bouzdrick.

"Is there anything else to consider?"

Tang Tian asked more.

"George Carr, Rick Adelman, Avery Johnson."

Temples said several other alternate candidates for management.

Tang Tian probably understood after hearing this.

It's all attacking managers, and D'Antoni is the same type.

Pelicans management is determined to improve the team's offensive capabilities.

"How's Stevens?"

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

What is a little different from history is that perhaps because of the butterfly effect brought about by his crossing, Stevens entered the NBA with the Celtics on a two-year short-term contract.

His contract expires this summer and is in the process of being renewed.

Last season, the Pelicans played a three-overtime game with the Celtics, who won in the end.

Tang Tian was very impressed in that game, and he also had coffee with Stevens after the game and chatted about some tactical issues.

Stevens' ability is definitely there, and he's as young as he is.

If the coach is also capable, he is now in the second gear, behind Popovich and Carlisle in the first gear.

As for the future, no one can say.

So Tang Tian mentioned him.

"Brad Stevens?"

Temples confirmed.

Tang Tian nodded.

"He's so young, he's only had two years of coaching experience, and that's what he's coaching in Boston."

Demps doesn't seem too impressed with Stevens.

"Steve Kerr didn't have a single coaching experience before he went to the Warriors, the Celtics were average, but they also made the playoffs last season and won two games, and he, like Popovich, is a coach who knows how to teach according to his aptitude."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and replied.

Demps heard appreciation from Tang Tian's words.

"The Celtics beat us once in three-overtime last season."

He said to himself.

After saying that, he nodded.

"If the opportunity is right, I would recommend Coach Stevens to Mr. Benson and the management."

Demps concluded.

Tang Tian nodded.

He also knew that Demps had Rausha, management, and Benson, and he couldn't decide this kind of change of coach alone.

But to be able to push Stevens as one of the candidates is enough.

After all, the choice of the team and the coach is a two-way street, the Pelicans are interested in D'Antoni, and the Rockets are also interested, and it will depend on how D'Antoni chooses at that time.

If D'Antoni chooses to go to the Rockets, the Pelicans will have to choose from among the alternatives.

ps: I went to have my wisdom teeth extracted today, and my wife had a fever again at night, and people couldn't bear it a little, so let's watch it for two more, and I will update it normally tomorrow and sleep first.
