One of the best coaches I've had and a great man is Avery Johnson. No question I learned alot from him in 2 years.

Firing Avery Johnson was a bad decision unless they got someone like Phil Jackson waiting to take over which I doubt...

2 things. Avery was doing a lousy job. And two: Deron is a coach killer and a LOT of this falls on him. He got the legendary jerry sloan to retire….and now ran his mouth to get avery run out of town. The overriding reality of this scenario is that D Will has been not just sub par, but AWFUL. Under 30% on his threes, and a terrible floor leader, plus bad defense. Anyone else would have been benched. If phil wants to get even with Buss he might take this, but my money is on jeff van gundy or larry brown……or a sleeper such as dave blatt. But this cant be laid on the russian…………fact is, avery was always a mediocre coach.
Hmm… slightly eccentric Russian billionaire buys sports team in big important city and acts capricious. Echoes of Chelsea and Roman Abramovich.
Nice observation. I’m sure if he gets the Nets to play like Chelsea did everything will be forgiven.
