Former NBA player Jason Terry is finalizing a deal to join Will Hardy‘s coaching staff with the Jazz, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Terry turned to coaching after his 19-year playing career ended in 2018. He spent one year as an assistant at the University of Arizona, then took over as head coach of the G League’s Grand Rapids Gold before the start of this season.
Terry interviewed for the head coaching job in Utah shortly after Quin Snyder’s departure in June. He was among at least 15 potential candidates who were linked to the position before the team selected Hardy.
Although there’s no definite word on Hardy’s other assistants, there have been reports that Bryan Bailey, Irv Roland, Alex Jensen and Lamar Skeeter could all be retained.
It’s Pterry the p is silent
The rumor was that Jason was going to Chicago.
That would have been TERRY-BULL !!
CONGRATS JET!!!
Still trying figure out what the Jazz are doing. They don’t need another 4 or 6 draft picks.
It’s Trader Danny running the show now.
Trader Danny plays the numbers game – get the most draft picks, he will whiff on many, but odds are he’ll land a few good ones.
For every Tatum, there’s a Yabusele, Langford, Edwards, Nesmith, etc.
There’s no rush to trade Donovan. They’ve been saying that they don’t need to trade him all along. It’s the media that love to run with these narratives. Don’t believe everything you hear and read.
And yes, they need as many draft picks as they can get. Ainge is one exec that knows how to use draft picks wisely. Can always package them with a player in a separate trade.
Nice! They’re bringing in all the guys I liked as candidates to be assistant coaches. Maybe Adrian Griffin is next? =)
