After a disappointing exit from the NBA Playoffs at the hands of the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly decided to part ways with head coach Doc Rivers. The 112-88 defeat in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference semi-final marked the end of the road for the Sixers, as they lost the series 4-3. With the season coming to a close, the team is now focusing on finding a suitable replacement for Rivers.

The decision to let go of Rivers comes as no surprise, considering the high expectations surrounding the Sixers this season. Despite finishing third in the Eastern Conference standings and having a talented roster led by Joel Embiid and James Harden, the team fell short of their championship aspirations.

ESPN reported on Tuesday that the Sixers have already compiled a list of potential candidates to take over the head coaching position. The list includes notable names such as Mike Budenholzer, Sam Cassell, Mike D’Antoni, Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel, and Monty Williams. Among these candidates, Monty Williams stands out as he was recently let go as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns.

Mike D’Antoni, who worked with Harden during their time together at the Houston Rockets, is seen as a likely candidate to become the Sixers’ new head coach. The pair developed a successful partnership in Houston, with Harden producing some of his best basketball under D’Antoni’s guidance.

Fans’ reactions to the probable Harden-D’Antoni reunion on Twitter have been varied. As some fans became alarmed at the prospect of Harden and D’Antoni teaming up in Philadelphia, the tweet that said, “F**k no” perfectly expressed the conflicting responses.

With the coaching search underway and Harden’s future hanging in the balance, the Philadelphia 76ers face crucial decisions that will shape the team’s direction moving forward. As the rumors and speculation continue to circulate, NBA fans eagerly await the next chapter in the Sixers’ story, hoping for a decision that will lead the team to success in the upcoming seasons.
