With the Nets playing their penultimate game Monday — and mercifully putting their season out of its misery Wednesday — it underscores just how meaningless these games really are. The $1 million question — and the only one that matters — is who’ll be coaching them next season.

“I feel like the situation has been tough from the beginning,’’ Brown said before the Nets fell 120-111 to the Wizards.
