If we are going for a veteran I'd like to see George Karl coach the Nets with this current roster. The Nets already have his assistant John Welch from his Denver days. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this led to the break up of the team to some degree. KG and Truth might be thinking differently.
I could see them install Lawrence Frank as a stop gap - the Nets are already paying him as a coach.
The word from informed sources seems to be targeting a college coach and speculation is that the Nets will pay Kevin Ollie's buyout.
It seems the Nets owner and management are trying to install a system (like the Spurs) and want a coach for the long haul. They thought they had Kidd for a decade or more and then he launches his power play. The Russians who run the Nets chose Billy King the GM over Kidd.
