With the Nets trying to survive (literally) the NBA “bubble” in Orlando, speculation about the Nets next coach is on hold. Sean Marks has said he wants to give his interim coach, Jacque Vaughn —and his staff— a shot at the job and has even said the team’s win-loss record in the “bubble” isn’t going to affect Vaughn’s chances.
But all that said, none of that will stop speculation from pundits, most if not all of them (thank you, Shaq) have written off the Nets chances in Orlando. And earlier this week, Brian Windhorst and Jackie MacMullan talked up some possibilities, led by Mark Jackson who reportedly has a good relationship with Kevin Durant.
