Well, this is sort of new. Sergey Karasev isn’t a household name. He’s in his third NBA season, second with the Brooklyn Nets, and hasn’t even played a total of 750 minutes for his career. He’s appeared in just two game this year, and the Nets declined to pick up his option for next season. [...]

Lionel Hollins is not counting down the days until Brook Lopez leaves in free agency. It’s just the opposite.

This Los Angeles Lakers coaching search hasn’t been much fun. All along, the assumption was that the Lakers would make a splash by inking a big, flashy, oh-my-god-did-they-really-sign-him? name. Instead of action and visions of grandeur, though, there have been the same old recurrent, drab rumors that have them interviewing prospective candidates like Mike Dunleavy, [...]

Mo Cheeks is out for the Detroit Pistons, so could Lionel Hollins be in? In true NBA, we-don’t-care-what-day-it-is fashion, the Pistons fired their head coach on Sunday. Cheeks’ dismissal was first reported by Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski and surprised, well, just about everyone. It’s not that Cheeks was doing a good job—he wasn’t. The Pistons [...]

You’ve got to be kidding me. Jason Kidd has emerged as the frontrunner for the Brooklyn Nets’ vacant head coaching position according to Fred Kerber of the New York Post: The serious interest goes both ways. Jason Kidd badly wants the Nets’ head-coaching job, and multiple sources insist the attraction is mutual and the team’s [...]

Lionel Hollins is out as Griz head coach. His contract won’t be renewed, sources told the CA. Story coming at gogrizzlies.com — Ronald Tillery (@CAGrizBlog) June 10, 2013 Hollins [...]

Jason Kidd is interested in a return to the NBA he really never left. Fresh off announcing his retirement from the New York Knicks and league as a whole, Kidd is apparently interested in coaching the Brooklyn Nets. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo!
