From Harold Kauffman:

The following is a statement from Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower in regards to his recent conversations with the New Jersey Nets organization:

"I appreciate the interest shown by the New Jersey Nets to discuss the opportunity with me to head up their basketball operations. At this time, however, it is not the right fit for the Nets or myself. I remain focused on improving our Hornets roster on a daily basis."

In other words, the Nets are going in a different direction.

yeah, there's no way Bower turned down NJ for a lame duck job.

"Sources believe Bower shares the sentiments of several other prospective candidates who have backed away from interest in the job: They’re uneasy working with new Nets coach Avery Johnson, whom sources say is trying to gather front-office power for himself."

"“It is not the right fit for the Nets, or myself,” Bower said in the statement." = Avery is a lil bitch

bower gets a bad rap. Works for easily one of the 5 cheapest owners in the league. Does ok for what he has to work with. Smallest market in the league, cheap ownership, once a year disaster area generally so what would you have him do?

Him being wanted by the Nets should tell you enough, dude turned it down because of Avery- period

He's likely to get demoted if not outright fired in the next year or two whenever Chouest takes over. He didn't turn the Nets down, they weren't interested. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't all part of the Crazy Russian's repeatedly stated intentions of getting Chris Paul. It was either a bribe or they were trying to get in Bower's head for the next trade talk.
