@USATODAYsports: The Nets and Bucks are not at all close to an agreement regarding Jason Kidd: http://t.co/Gn0rci3m5n (@sam_amick) Would this increase our chances to sign Hollins sooner?
hopefully they stay with the idea of big mane guy with ties to the team or city and go with mark jackson... if they start going the "we want a real coach" route and look into karl and hollins it will be a close call between the two. i think the lakers are waiting to see what talent they get this offseason. if by some chance they land a big name (lebron, love, melo, etc...) i think they will look at hollins, if they miss, they will go with scott. the nets are in win now mode (although nobody knows why) and yet they hired a rookie coach with no previous coaching experience (again, why?) and that didn't turn out so well. so it depends on what they want to do with the team. if they want to realize they can't win now, blow up the roster and hire mark jackson, cool. if they decide they are still trying to win, they will smarten up and go with an experienced coach and look at hollins and karl.
Yeah this pisses me off. Missing out on Hollins will be a big blow honestly. Particularly now that all of the other strong assistants have been poached. Guys like Adams that could have been targeted for big pay days already got their gigs.

At least we should know quickly with this. These Russians don't seem to mess around. They do what they want and they do it quickly.
