Lichtenstein: Nets Coach Hollins A Refreshing Change From J-Kidd
I doubt it will take Lionel Hollins more than a third of the season to figure it out the way it did J-Kidd. That's because experience matters.

I doubt it will take Lionel Hollins more than a third of the season to figure it out the way it did J-Kidd. That's because experience matters.
Hollins is ready to start a new chapter. So are the Brooklyn Nets after last week's stunning departure of Jason Kidd.
King just tabbed Lionel Hollins -- the man he should have waited for last season -- to coach. Now bring back Pierce at market value and let's see what this team has.
Brooklyn and Lionel Hollins reached an agreement on a contract Wednesday, the team announced. According to multiple reports, the former Memphis Grizzlies coach will earn more than $4 million annually over the next four years.
The 28-year-old Livingston averaged 8.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists with Brooklyn last season.
Nets general manager Billy King's pants must have been ablaze last week when he smiled through the unveiling of plans for a new state-of-the-art practice facility in Brooklyn.
A person with knowledge of the details says the Bucks and Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a deal allowing Kidd to become Milwaukee's coach. The Nets will receive a second-round draft pick in 2015 and 2019.
Jason Kidd's reputation as a coach killer remains renowned. Just ask Larry Drew, who two days ago thought he was about to coach the perhaps resurgent Bucks back to NBA eminence. But Kidd had other plans, and rather grandiose ideas about himself.
Good riddance, J-Kidd. Hey, Milwaukee: Got any room in your front office for Billy King as well?
It's unclear what role the Bucks would be interested in him for, since they have both coach Larry Drew and general manager John Hammond under contract.
Brown, who is 6-foot-3, averaged 17.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game last season for Oklahoma State.
"We ultimately should rival American football in terms of popularity," Silver told WFAN host Mike Francesa on Thursday.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly trying to decide between Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker for the first overall pick.
LeBron and Melo are in play as free agents. Other stars like Kevin Love and Rajon Rondo may be trait bait. And the Nets will be watching it all unfold on social media, just like me.
According to a report, the 38-year-old center is preparing to return to the Nets for the 2014-15 season. Garnett's second season in Brooklyn would mark his 20th in the league.
