A new report has shed light on the Hornets' failed hiring of Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson.
Atkinson, who previously coached the Nets, was said to have been in agreement to become the next head coach in Charlotte.
But followup reports said the deal had fallen through and Atkinson was returning to the Golden State, where he just won an NBA title as an assistant to head coach Steve Kerr.
The development sparked speculation about Kerr's future, with some wondering whether some kind of move was in the offing.
But instead, it seems Atkinson and the Hornets couldn't agree on the parameters of the job.
