If he wins with the Sixers he’d be a 4x champion assistant coach with 4 different teams. Pretty crazy

Damn I thought it had been reported that he was one of the very few coaches from the prior staff that Dallas intended to keep on. That’s a bummer

Yeah he would’ve been the last holdover. Now the coaching staff will be entirely new.

Wonder what changed. Hard to not think this has implications for Kyrie’s longterm future in Dallas given how close he is with Handy, ie if Kyrie was sticking around I imagine Handy stays…

Great move for them. Handy can really help Jaylen with his handle like he did with Kyrie hopefully.

He also helped Rui Hachimura become a knockdown three point shooter after being a guy known for mid range shots. Great pickup for Philly

To be fair, they got a new coach who probably wants to build his own staff as most do
