Nets fire Lionel Hollins, GM Billy King "steps down"

That's a pretty good asset to have, right?

 

This article on Coach Hollins & the Nets by Moke Hamilton is pretty good.

I like

Lopez
Young
Bargdanovic
Johnson

Lawson + Brewer and KJ for JJ?
Lawson + Jones and KJ for Young and Jack(expiring trade filler)?
KJ for Bargdanovic?

I don't really see a feasible trade for Lopez unless it's a 3 way or something.

 

24M is too big an amount a superstar will have to be traded to use up that amount otherwise you will be getting a ton of junk. The only reason it will work is if they absorb horrible contracts in return for assets like what cavs did before when they absorbed bdiddys contract.

 

Does Morey like handling another man's junk, though?

 

If love Hollins to come coach this team...try an authoritarian approach and a focus on defense

 

With the salary cap increasing by almost $30 million next year, I would think it's worthless.

 

He doesn't like analytics. Thats why Memphis fired him. He aint going to Houston

 

Bingo. He is old school. Him and Harden would fight to the death if he was coaching this team.

 

I don't thing King is a good GM; quite the opposite. But, I see him getting blamed for stuff that is Prokhorov's fault. Maybe King still should share some blame for not dissuading his boss from a foolish strategy, or for not executing on a flawed strategy better. But I've read some stuff that would make out like King let Prokhorov down. No, this is just as much his mess.

 

Lionel Hollins is an old hardhead who got left in the dust by the evolving NBA. Unless he's willing to adapt to the new NBA, there is no place for him as head coach anymore.

 

Celtics should make a push for Brook Lopez, and also better their odds at Ben Simmons.

 

We make quick turnaround by trading our first available picks.

2016 to Boston, right?
2017 swap with Boston?
2018? Is it available?
2019?
How about 2020?

OK, we trade our 2018 & 2020 picks to [insert team here] for [insert old/washed up player here].

We trade these picks now, we make ourselves good now, devaluing the picks we send to Boston. Got it?

Where's Billy? Is Billy still around here?

lulz

 

Billy King is not my GM
He's just a guy who claims that I am the one
But the team is not my fault
He says I am the one
But the team is not my fault

 

I see Prokhorov hasn't learned anything from his first NBA experience.

 

Sounds like the Nets are finally ready to accept their fate as the New York version of the Clippers of old

 

Joe Johnson to the Cav's incoming

 

Still cant believe this tolietbowl of a team swept us. SMH
