http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/teams/brooklyn_nets/64 Recent articles about Brooklyn Nets en-us A Brooklyn native and current head coach of SMU, Brown--if pursued by the Nets for their head-coaching vacancy--would certainly be hard-pressed to turn it down Just some more notes and news tidbits on the Brooklyn Nets' head-coaching search: I mentioned Doc Rivers as a possible candidate for the Nets a little over a week ago, but the current Celtics coach looks to be returning to Boston for at least another season as GM Danny Ainge confirmed on Thursday. With the older Celtics team in a state of flux, Rivers jumping ship to a more talented and higher-potential Nets team four hours south of Boston would be a reasonable possibility, but one that Billy King didn't necessary appear to be open towards. Cross a name off the list.   But as Rivers has been eliminated for the Nets, a new candidate has come into the forefront: Brooklyn's own, Larry Brown. The 72-year-old has had a long and storied career as an ABA player and NCAA, ABA, and NBA coach, even ma...

It was abysmal. The Nets played practically zero defensive, missed open shot after open shot, and worst of all, they didn’t show enough effort down the stretch. I don’t want to harp on the loss though. I want to talk about what the Nets can do this offseason to improve as a team. Coaching General Manager Billy King announced on Sunday that interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo will not return next season to coach the Nets. P.J. did a decent job this year, but King made the right move here. Carlesimo is a good coach, but he isn’t the right coach for the Nets. The Nets were out-toughed in Game 7, especially on the glass. Whoever coaches the Nets next season will have to be able to toughen this squad up, and put a much bigger emphasis the defensive end of the court. If I were Billy King, the first person I’d reach out to is Jeff Van Gundy. JVG knows the game of basketball better than...

Brooklyn Nets: They brought professional sports back to Brooklyn, opened a fancy new arena, have big name players and an owner with deep pockets who is wants to win, and had home court in the first round.   Yet this season still seemed like a disappointment.  Only in New York. Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov's insistence on immediate success really put the team in a hole.  Trading a top-3 protected draft pick, that eventually became Damian Lillard, for Gerald Wallace, taking on Joe Johnson's monstrous six year deal and paying Kris Humphries $12 Million a year aren't looking like such great moves anymore.  The team has talent, however, and the core of Brook Lopez and Deron Williams will keep them in the hunt for years to come. But they have so little financial flexibility that it...

The SMU basketball coach could be leaving again, according to at least one report. Brown, who has been at SMU just one season, was on a short list of candidates to be the next coach of the Brooklyn Nets, an anonymous source told ESPN's Chris Broussard. The other candidates, according to Broussard's tweet, are Phil Jackson and Brian Shaw. According to another anonymous source, Jackson has told the Nets he's not interested. The 72-year-old Brown has not said, either publicly or through a source, whether he's interested in coaching the Nets. An SMU spokesman declined to comment. Although he's known for coaching Kansas to the 1988 NCAA title, Brown has an extensive coaching career in the professional ranks, starting in 1972 with the Carolina Cougars of the old ABA. He's even coached the Nets before, during the 1981-82 and 82-83 seasons. Brown was born in Brooklyn and grew up not far away in Long Beach, Long Island.

Carlesimo, however, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, “After connecting with Brooklyn today, Phil Jackson informed organization that he has no interest in coaching job, league source says.  Phil Jackson's inclination remains to return to the NBA in a broader management role.”   It seems as though, Phil’s coaching days are over and that he wants to assume more of a Jerry West and Pat Riley role for an organization.  Which organization, however, remains to be seen.  But if Phil is as good of a manager as he is as a coach, there is no reason why teams outside of the playoffs shouldn’t think about reaching out to him.  Of course, just because Phil may be good at coaching superstar personalities and talents, it doesn’t mean that he is good at managing superstar personalities and talents.

Carlesimo, Nets management is reportedly determined to lure Phil Jackson to lead the team in Brooklyn. The 63-year-old Carlesimo, who helped guide the Nets (49-33) to the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and their first postseason appearance since the 2006-07 campaign, was fired on May 5 following Brooklyn’s loss in the first round of the playoffs to the gritty Chicago Bulls. Predictably, because Jackson refuses to work without hardwood icons Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O’Neal or Kobe Bryant at his disposal, the “Zen Master” claims to be uninterested in returning to … Continue reading → Wed, 08 May 2013 00:26:29 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/forgetting_about_phil_jackson_nets_owner_mikhail_prokhorov_needs_to_seek_an_individual_committed_to_brooklyn/13572098 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/forgetting_about_phil_jackson_nets_owner_mikhail_prokhorov_needs_to_seek_an_individual_committed_to_brooklyn/13572098 Forgetting about Phil Jackson, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov needs to seek an individual committed to Brooklyn http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/forgetting_about_phil_jackson_nets_owner_mikhail_prokhorov_needs_to_seek_an_individual_committed_to_brooklyn/13572098 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/1/f/1f478ee18655fcc84bad41c1b9ae267ca9308d36/mini/New_Jersey_Nets_64ed.jpg Kris Humphries cant be solely to blame for the loss to the Bulls last week but I’m sure his drinking and partying the night before helps his case. As US Magazine reports: According to a source, the towering athlete was “out late” at NYC hotspot Beauty & Essex on Friday evening, arriving around 9 p.m. and leaving past 1 in the morning. Humphries, 28, was at the venue to celebrate his older model sister Kaela’s 30th birthday and didn’t hold back as he “fist pumped a little bit” and showed off a few dance moves, the source added. “Kris was drinking champagne and stayed late. He was a jerk to everyone,” another eyewitness told US. But another source told Us, “He left with his mother. He wasn’t out of control, he was celebrating his sister’s birthday. If anyone knows Kris, they know that family and basketball are the most important things in his life.” “In the pros, you are not monitored, so to speak, unless you are on the road,” another source explains to US Weekly. “It is ass Tue, 07 May 2013 12:59:17 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/kris_humphries_spotted_partying_night_before_loss_in_game_7_to_bulls/13568189 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/kris_humphries_spotted_partying_night_before_loss_in_game_7_to_bulls/13568189 Kris Humphries Spotted Partying Night Before Loss In Game 7 To Bulls http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/kris_humphries_spotted_partying_night_before_loss_in_game_7_to_bulls/13568189 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/3/a/3a54f023fc9a06b50fdf3f041e8949665207ea4c/mini/6849058.jpg With P.J. Carlesimo on his way out of the borough, the Brooklyn Nets are looking at some big names to fill their head coaching vacancy. According to an ESPN report, the Nets have already contacted former Lakers and Bulls coach Phil Jackson about the job. Brooklyn general manager Billy King said on Sunday that he would be reaching out to Jackson, and though the team realizes that it’s unlikely the Zen Master would want to coach in New York, they’d be willing to talk about a front office role with the 11-time NBA champion head coach. Jackson is said to be interested in taking on a Pat Riley-like role with a team. The same ESPN report also indicates that the Nets would look at current Celtics coach Doc Rivers. Rivers is under contract with the Celtics, but would draw interest from the Nets should Boston allow him to walk. Other candidates the Nets are said to be looking at include Larry Brown, Mike Dunleavy and Brian Shaw.

The Nets decided not to retain interim coach P.J. Carlesimo, who went 35-19 during the regular season after replacing Avery Johnson as the team’s head coach in December. Jeff Van Gundy was initially reported to be a candidate for the job, but Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski later said the interest did not appear to be mutual, likely because Van Gundy is happy serving as a commentator for ABC/ESPN. Phil Jackson has been mentioned as a candidate, but he may be more interested in a front office position. The Daily News says Dunleavy has a good relationship with Nets GM Billy King and is golfing buddies with him. Dunleavy, 59, lost his job as Clippers coach/GM during the 2009-2010 season and hasn’t coached since. The Daily News says Dunleavy had discussions with King about the job during the season.

Carlesimo, the franchise will be looking for their third head coach in less than a year. Carlesimo replaced Avery Johnson, who was fired earlier in the season. Rumors have been flying about who the next head coach might be. With their roster seemingly stuck with very little flexibility, many believe they will look to make a big splash with a new coach in order to shake things up for a team that looked awfully flat against a depleted Chicago Bulls team. Interestingly enough, Jerry Sloan might be up to the challenge. Via CSNNW: Names such as Phil Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy have circulated as possible candidates who could fill that vacancy. Even the name of 71-year-old Jerry Sloan was brought up. The problem with that is, Deron Williams plays for the Nets. According to Mike Mazzeo of ESPN, Williams would welcome Sloan as his coach, again.

Carlesimo.   A search for a new head coach will commence immediately.  “The Brooklyn Nets organization would like to thank P.J. for his efforts with the team in his roles as both head coach and assistant, and for his contributions to the team’s success both on and off the court," said Billy King in a prepared statement. "We wish P.J. and his family only the best in the years to come.” Carlesimo replaced Avery Johnson in December as head coach of the Nets. Jeff Van Gundy is a top target, according to a source that spoke with Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Phil Jackson is also considered a candidate the Nets are believed to be interested in.

They took out the Brooklyn Nets in the deciding Game 7 99-93. The Bulls were driven by center Joakim Noah’s double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds. “I’ll remember this for the rest of my life,” Noah told ESPN. “I’m just so proud of this team. We’ve been fighting through so much all year and to be in this situation, play on the biggest stage in the world and to be able to win and now play against the Heat, all these experiences, I (don’t) take those for granted,” Noah said.

While they trail Chicago, it’s clear the Nets fans have to be impressed from what they have seen lately from center Brook Lopez. Lopez has had a year which has convinced many that he is one of the top big men in the league, particularly on the offensive end. He’s a major part of the team, and has been backing up the big-time contract that the franchise gave him this summer. All this being said, Brook Lopez surely doesn’t want the playoffs to end. His reasoning is just a little bit different from that of most other NBA players. Via The Brooklyn Game: So what motivates him? Is it the desire to be the best basketball player to ever live? The competitive drive to rip his opponent’s throat out? The inner fire he channels to pour on the points and lead his team to victory? According to Lopez: “I don’t really have a social life.

AKA... FAKE.According to a source, Kris was more into the entertainment side of the marriage than Kim was and that the two spent more time fighting over the details of the prenup than planning the wedding.Among the witnesses... two managers were heavily involved in the prenup talks, at least one lawyer was involved in the document and a court reporter who was present when the prenup was signed.So basically what Kim's lawyer is saying is that Kim is more faker than what we ever thought she was and that Kris walked into the "marriage" with is eyes wide open.
