Monty Williams vaults near top of Raptors’ coach candidates list after being fired by Suns
There have most certainly been others whose names haven’t leaked out but the sudden availability of Williams, who coached in Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Portland before Phoenix, puts a proven NBA head coach on the market.

According to league sources, practically all of Nurse’s former assistants are no longer working for the team, either because their contracts are expiring in the next couple of months or because Ujiri and Webster want a clean slate.
