If Kevin Durant wasn't a fan of Kenny Atkinson's culture with the Brooklyn Nets, he's almost certainly not going to be fond of what could come next.
The Nets and Atkinson mutually agreed to part ways Saturday and former Warriors coach Mark Jackson already is being linked to the job due to his relationship with Durant's agent, Rich Kleiman.
Kleiman grew up a diehard Knicks fan and became a huge fan of Jackson during his childhood. The two now have become close friends. Kleiman wanted Jackson to get the Knicks head coaching job, and it seems like a certainty he'll try to get him the job in Brooklyn to coach Durant and Kyrie Irving.
