Chris Mannix, known to have good sources in the Nets organization, says that Lionel Hollins "situation bears watching" and notes the Nets hiring of former 76er coach Randy Ayers as a scout.
Asked by a fan about Hollins situation, Mannix replied...
Hollins's situation bears watching. The Nets have been competitive in many of their losses and the front office believes the team is close to turning a corner. Not a run-towards-the-playoffs corner, mind you, but one that gives them a chance to be respectable. But losses are losses and Hollins's far to frequent misuse of Brook Lopez has not gone unnoticed.
