The reports flew out from a podcast appearance from Shams Charnaia mid-week that Jacque Vaughn is going to have a “legitimate” opportunity for the Nets job come this offseason.
Vaughn was hired to be Kenny Atkinson’s lead assistant back in 2016 and has been with Brooklyn along their road from the worst team in the NBA to a title contender. With his ties to the Spurs —and head coach experience with the Magic, Vaughn was pegged by Marks to help Atkinson transition into his first-time head coach role.
