    Great move + it should have happened before the season started.

    All that constant lineup tinkering...all that making a talent like Deron Williams look ordinary...the recent comments from Williams saying as much...this was bound to happen soon.

    nice to see williams continues to be a serial coach killer.
    these guys were "contenders" before playing one game with the addition of johnson. =/

    D-Will just looks real bad sometimes and I don't think it all had to with coaching.

    Avery Johnson couldn't even get along with Devin Harris, of all people. He is very hard on his point guards for some reason. I bet that didn't sit well with Deron.

    Williams has been playing hurt this season and has not been himself, but a more capable coach would have been able to design offensive sets that work around those limitations.

    Isn't there a series on NBA TV about the Nets this season? If so, I wonder how they handle this.

    Avery Johnson is garbage. I was shocked when he has success in dallas.

    Don't feel bad for Avery. At least when you get fired by the Nets, you get called into Irina's office.

    Maybe Prokhorov will throw the bank at Phil Jackson?

    Time to hire Jerry Sloan. D-Will said himself he's just a system guy.

    Not sure if DWill is the cause, but yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

    The only thing that is hurt about Williams is his ego. Guy makes excuses for himself time and time again, now it's his bruised wrist?

    Explain to me why the Nets have been a POS team for the past three seasons with Deron Williams averaging 39%FG.

    Three seasons plagued with injuries? Maybe he's just overrated.
