While the Nets are in Orlando to lose in the first round of the Playoffs, Kevin Durant is quietly at rest. White season for the Snake who decided to facilitate the work of Sean Marks by submitting his preference for the position of head coach from the next school year. It looks like Mark Jackson caught his eye.
Who will be the Brooklyn coach next season? That’s a good question. And a very fashionable problem on the New York side. No official announcement from the Knicks who are chaining the talks, the Nets should wait for the end of their season to look into the matter seriously. Before making his final choice, Sean Marks will make a phone call to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to find out what his stars think. The latter would already have his little preference since Uncle Drew has already made it known that he would like to find his former coach Poto Tyronn Lue. A little tired of holding the Clippers coach’s plate, the former painkiller of Allen Iverson is also interested in the job. Does KD approve of this choice? We do not know. Even if the MVP 2014 must know that with Lue he will have free rein in attack. But the former Golden State would also have his personal favorite and this is Mark Jackson. An idea launched by Brian Windhorst ofESPN, in his podcast ” Hoop Collective« .
“If you pay close attention to social media, Rich Kleiman (Kevin Durant’s business partner and who has a big influence) recently tweeted about Mark Jackson. He didn’t tweet, ‘I want Mark Jackson to train the Nets’, but there was an article in the New York Post last week when we were talking about Mark Jackson or and Jason Kidd. […] You know, (Kleiman) said he liked the idea. We know that Mark Jackson and Kevin Durant have a good relationship. These tweets and the possible connection of Jackson and the Nets with Durant did not go unnoticed in the NBA. “
It seems, Joe Harris would like to see Stan Van Gundy on the bench of the Nets while Jarrett Allen would like Fred Hoiberg. But not sure that Sean Marks does not pay attention to the desires of these. GM Brooklyn will listen to KD and Uncle Drew to choose the next head coach. We know, the two stars des Knicks participated in the dismissal of Kenny Atkinson during the season. Besides Tyronn Lue and Mark Jackson, the Jason Kidd track is also in the pipeline. The former player then coach of the Nets knows the house well. And in all these rumors, we almost forget that Brooklyn has an end of season to play on the side of Orlando. Deprived of a major part of its roster and Michael Beasley especially, the Nets will not have much to play. Except Jacque Vaughn. Appointed interim coach, the former Magic coach could be entrusted with the reins of the team and be extended for a few years. The task is difficult but we will have to shine. Problem, assembling “Jacque Vaughn”, “performance” and “Orlando” have not been a good mix in the past … Pastor Jackson and Petit Lue are already rubbing their hands!
The list is quite extensive, not as much as that of the Knicks! Nevertheless, the question of the next Nets coach is THE priority question in Brooklyn. Unless Jacque Vaughn plans to take his franchise to the NBA title in 2020.
