Nets, Kenny Atkinson 'mutually agree to part ways'

Fort thing I thought. Huge disappointment I’d the pelicans don’t make a playoff push and don’t pursue Kenny..

This is our guy. From the D'antoni and Bud trees.

Nets improved every year under him. Still has them competitive every night with $50M in cap space injured.

Pace and space kinda guy.

Wow, I had him pegged as one of the great up and coming coaches. Was big on him before we hired Gentry.

Unless there is some serious internal issues ala Mark Jackson, he has to be on the short list of Langdon/Griffin hires if we move on from Gentry.

He has been a PG savant and him getting to help Lonzo take the next leap would be incredible.

Fine by me, Kyrie is cancer and is going to drag that once promising organization down, and if it now means the stars align and we can replace Gentry with Atkinson, great!

Yeah, probably mine as well.

I was discussing at work how it feels like their aren’t any surefire assistants out there like there were when we fired Monty, guys like Atkinson that you just saw their potential pushing through(could just be my ignorance in not knowing enough assistants though)....Now he’s back on the market and I suspect it won’t be too hard to convince Atkinson that a team with a moldable point guard with limitless potential, an all star forward, and the best young prospect in nearly a decade is more appealing than anywhere else he could go....Assuming we are interested.

Not just #1 on the list, Langdon needs to get him verbally committed now before other teams start sniffing around. Atkinson is the proven version of the young up and coming assistant most of us are hoping to take a chance on.

We will find out here if Grif has any balls to part ways or demote his buddy uncle Al

Yeah, apparently Kenny was one of the reasons Durant decided on Nets. It has to be Kyrie.

Kenny had/has Dinwiddie, Lavert, Dlo etc playing at such a high level.

Langdon worked with Kenny also, so we could have the inside track to landing him, with Al moving to the front office and Kennny taking over at HC

Jesus, just imagine Kenny doing for Naw and Lonzo what he did for Brooks(MIP in 2010), Jeremy Lin(Linsanity), Teague(One dimensional scorer into an all star), Dinwiddie(one of the best all around glue guards and a borderline all star), and Russell(completely revived his career).

This is just proof that the basketball gods have decided to bless this franchise since Griffin signed...Just hope we don’t let this miracle walk away. Atkinson can and should be our Pop/Kerr/Carlisle/Nurse/Buddenholzer.
