Nets fired Lionel Hollins.

[Bluehorseshoe]

That's way overdue. The team is like the walking dead.


And GM Billy King.

[pattymayo]

Nets don't have their own first round draft pick until 2019. Team will be in shambles for a while. That Pierce/KG trade destroyed them. They need to trade Brook Lopez for a pick

[jjgold]

Franchise should stayed in NJ too

They have ZERO FUTURE..Nobody wants to play in Brooklyn

[pavyracer]

They are one draft pick away from an NBA championship.

[pattymayo]

Boston will have like 7 draft picks in the first 2 rounds next year. Epic rebuild

How Billy King kept his job this long is beyond me.

King was Black

Had to keep it

[IBetYou]

All starts at the top. The Russian owner thought he could short-cut his way to a championship. There's not a franchise in worse shape right now. They have no hope this season, and NOTHING for the future.

Is he white now?

[IBetYou]

I don't see Billy King working in the nba again. GMs are judged by what they leave behind. The nets are 3 years away from being the sixers

[jjgold]

I think once the Russian took over the Nets he destroyed them just another rich guy that knows nothing about basketball also known as Michael Jordan

[Seto]

Long overdue for the GM. Not sure about Hollins. He had nothing to work with.

That said it's probably a good thing for him cause he'll get hired by a better team soon enough. Maybe New Orleans if/when Gentry gets canned.

[lakerboy]

Hollins has done a good job.

[DOM-Ganador]

Ainge took King to the woodshed in those deals....
but the Celtics need to capitalize and get a stud or two.

With the new facility in Brooklyn, all they need is a winning team.....should happen by 2022.

[NardVa]

A lot of teams are going through the motions and collecting paychecks. It's the coach that takes the hit when players don't want to play.

What's scary is they are only two pieces away from being a contender.

Baby Isaah is a true NBA point guard, Crowder is not elite but very good.
They got two good shooting guards with Avery Bradley and Evan Turner.

C's problem is bench is thin, I say move a couple of those draft picks for a proven big man, I don't like Sully and Kelly as the big men.
Use the other picks and draft the best available forwards if they are hell bent on using Amir Johnson as center.

[TwoWays]

Idaho Thomas is not a staring caliber pg. kid is only instant offense in my eyes. I would trade everyone and the picks for one true superstar. Then rebuild

[existential]

King was an unmitigated disaster, no one could've coached that team to success

[jjgold]

No idea what the nets are going to do like I said nobody wants to play there

[existential]

Maybe New Orleans if/when Gentry gets canned.

now there's a guy who definitely should be fired, Gentry literally has zero excuses. and can't coach a lick of defense.

[rm18]

Celtics have nothing to build around Avery Bradley the only above average player on the roster it is mostly smoke and mirrors from a great coach.

[Mr KLC]

The Nets have some good looking alternate jerseys though.

He was just in the right place at the right time with G.S. He's a terrible coach!! I remember when the Clips had him. One big shit show.

[jjgold]

Calipari would be right choice here

[existential]

He was just in the right place at the right time with G.S. He's a terrible coach!! I remember when the Clips had him. One big shit show.

he won't get another HC job after the Pels fire him

[TwoWays]

Why did they hire gentry. Guy is a disaster. Turned the brightest future superstar into a boob.
