Avery Johnson told season ticket-holders about it Wednesday. Now it's official. The Nets will have five assistant coaches, including two former head coaches.
Sam Mitchell of the Raptors, who like Johnson is a former NBA Coach of the Year, and Larry Krystkowiak of the Bucks will join holdovers John Loyer and Tom Barrise and former Mavericks assistant Popeye Jones.
Johnson, Mitchell and Krystkowiak all signed multi-year deals with their former teams before being fired.

Is this average?
How many coaches on a team usually?
Obviously a much improved staff from what we had
With lawrence Frank and co. and of course’s last year’s minor league group but jury is still out on Avery as a true championship coach. Sam Mitchell was an outstanding addition but Eric Musselman should have been chosen over Larry K, that is the decision that really baffles me.
Wow...
You get baffled by the selection of our 5th coach.

yeah ISAAC!
some positivity

-Coach Avery Johnson.
Isn't it exciting? :)
I’m glad Avery didn’t hire Musselman.
He didn’t do anything here at Sacramento, but get into the news for being arrested.
"Beat the Heat!"
the Nets has King n James
Krystkowiak
was the big man’s assistant coach at Milwaukee before becoming head coach, worked with Bogut, particularly on his defense. He got the head coach job in part because of the terrific work he did with Bogut.
The Nets have enough YOUNG big men to warrant more than one big man coach, which is Popeye Jones main role.
Krystkowiak, Mitchell, and Popeye
are a nice big three to coach Brook and Derrick. I’m hoping that Roy Rogers’s tutelage is felt to have run its course, and now these three guys have new wrinkles to offer.
Nets = Global
Knicks = Local
that's GREAT information Net Income
but sorry, Musselman is still a better coach than your guy Krystkowiak.
great to see you in such a good mood today!

"Johnson, Mitchell and Krystkowiak all signed...
… multi-year deals with their former teams"
Does this mean the Nets don’t have to pay them or, if so, very little (I know this is the case with AJ, but M & K also)? No wonder we have so many asst coaches – they’re cheaper by the dozen!

offset clauses
are part of every head coach (and a lot of assistant coaches) contracts. The deal is guaranteeed but if a coach, after being fired, takes another job, his original contract is reduced -“offset”- by the amount of money the coach gets from his new contract.
So if Avery Johnson’s contract with the Mavericks (which ends this season) paid him $4 million, the Nets could pay him less and he would still get that $4 million. I believe that Mitchell is also being paid $4 million by the Raptors and Krystkowiak $2 million by the Bucks.
As Dave D wrote the other day, Rod Thorn was always careful with the boss’ money, no matter who the boss was. I bet the Nets have some deal whereby they pay less than full freight in each case until the original contract runs out.
Last year by the way
John Loyer was still being paid by the 76ers—$300,000—so the Nets saved money there.
Dont know if he is still being paid by the 76ers.
Is Doug Overton
Not coming back, he was coaching during summer league
he's close to billy king so yes hes coming back

Bucks page on Yahoo
Chris Douglass Roberts is going to learn alot from John Salmons?
i kind of blame the lack of yi’s development on the fact that the nets never helped contribute with the right coaches
if yi had a coach like Larry K he would have been way more aggressive on defense
and with his abilities length size and shooting, he could have a been a star
Good
I wonder if we hired all those people (i.e. scouts, video coordinators and extra physicians we fired or let go last year.
And so said the old man!
Follow the Bucks
I think the nets are better than the Bucks team that won 46 games last year.
Nets can probably win 50 games if they are commited<key word to defense and stay healthy.
Harris vs. Jennings
Lee vs. Delfino
Outlaw vs. Salmons
Smith vs. Ilosova
Lopez vs. Bogut
Williams vs. Stackhouse/Redd
Farmar vs. Ridnour
James vs. Luc Mab a Moute/Warrick
Morrow vs. Bell
Petro vs. Thomas/Gadzuric
Humpries vs. Brezec
He said the team that won 46 games last year.
Since their season ended, they’ve acquired CDR and Maggette
He included Craig Smith.
But I doubt the Nets will sign him.
Love the optimism but 50 GAMES?!!? The Nets off season moves are not a +40 difference.

50 wins is doubtful...
Unless, of course, we signed Musselman as the last coach.

Is that a good thing? Lol.
I don’t watch much hockey.
Yes the team committed to staying in New Jersey
just re-signed a REAL star, while the team with a foot and a half out the door signed 4 bench players.
I think they already have rundmc
look at our roster.
Wow...
Nice to see a sense of humor.
Can I buy you your first ticket to Barclay’s to see the Nets play?
I think I win that honor...
Maybe between you, me and DollarBills we can chip in and buy him a floor seat
-Say man when I was growing up we wanted a Jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub.
In reference to that..
Dude signed for a little over 100 mil and 17 years!!! My god!!
he'll be 44 when that contracts up
BUT DUDE!! 17 YEARS!!!!! THATS RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Don’t forget, we’re not building a top five team, we’re building a championship team" - Mikhail Prokhorov
I know he'll be 44, that's why I'm asking what the norm is for players to retire.
& it’s alrite! He’s a great player obviously who’ll be paid close to the amount what LeBron will be paid.
Solid coaching staff, solid collection of young talent
I feel good about this upcoming season, can’t wait to see the Nets return to defensive minded, fast breaking, high flying basketball!!
