Lionel Hollins might get a contract extension if the Nets continue to be competitive against these teams like the Celtics and Magic :wow:

Id take a flyer on wroten but them turnovers are too much..dont think he fills the void either.

I wanted jack gone but not like this..hes a good dude even tho hes a chuck at times...hate to see guys get injured esp something like that.

Apparently King is about to do something crazy..probably will be worse since we have need a PG at the moment. :francis:

Brooklyn is apparently very determined to make things less rewarding for the Celtics. According to league sources, the Nets have been walking up and down the aisles in the NBA marketplace, looking for deals that could make them better in the short term as well as in the distance.

Where one might expect a club with a 10-23 record to be more accepting of all the losses, knowing something better in the form of the chance to draft a top player awaits — much like stepping in to take a charge to force a turnover — the Nets can see there is no such prize for taking these punches.

According to one league executive, "You’re going to see (the Nets) start making moves."

They’ll still have an eye on what they can develop that will make them better in the next year or more, he said, but the Nets have to do everything they can to project the idea that they’re getting better and that they’re a place that free agents should want to sign.

Here's the full statement released Sunday...

"After careful consideration, I’ve concluded that it’s time for a fresh start and a new vision for the direction of the team," said Nets Owner Mikhail Prokhorov. "By making this decision now, it enables our organization to use the rest of the season to diligently evaluate candidates with proven track records. It’s clear from our current state of affairs that we need new leadership. With the right basketball management and coach in place, we are going to create a winning culture and identity and give Brooklyn a team that it can be proud of and enjoy watching. We have learned a great deal during the past six years and our experiences will guide us for the future. Following the consolidation of team ownership last month, I can assure you that I’m more determined and committed than ever to build a winner."

"I want to thank Billy for his hard work in the development of the Nets. At every step of the way, he has been aggressive in his quest to build a winning team and has been a key factor toward the Nets making the playoffs for each of the last three seasons. Beyond this, he has been a tremendous friend, wonderful colleague, and loyal partner and we wish him success in the future. I also want to thank Lionel for his efforts and dedication on behalf of the Nets franchise. To our fans, I thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support and please know that brighter days are ahead. I’m excited to begin the process of choosing the best GM and head coach available."
