Woj: Carlesimo "Strong Candidate" For Nets' Bench

PrintAdrian Wojnarowski tweets that P.J. Carlesimo is a "strong candidate" to join the Nets' coaching staff. The Nets have lost assistant Larry Krystkowiak to the University of Utah and may lose Sam Mitchell to the Timberwolves in the coming weeks.
After leading Seton Hall to the national championship game in 1989, Carlesimo was a head coach for the Blazers, Warriors and Sonics/Thunder in the NBA, compiling a 204-296 record. He's also been an assistant for the Spurs for five years, and was on Jay Triano's bench in Toronto last season.

Hopefully this will be another cog in building a Spurs-like team
We’ve got a head coach that played with the Spurs and a guy that spent 5 years with them as an assistant coach
now we need Timmy D
Don’t you dare say “LOPEZ”

Is this a good news?
I remember him when he was a Thunder HC and showed like mad.
Thunder fired him and took a new coach, then this team was getting strong team.
How would he help for the Nets as asst coach?

It's not invisible
It’s on the court guarding Yi
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
(A strict coach who emphasized crisp execution, Carlesimo also developed a reputation as an “unrepentant screamer” in his first two NBA jobs at Portland and Golden State. After a five-year stint on Popovich’s staff, he insisted that he had learned how to develop relationships with players, but several sources insisted that as Sonics/Thunder coach he reverted back to the strident ways that precipitated the Latrell Sprewell attack in 1999.)
Travis Outlaw better get his game together.

@darooster8 we are a small but intelligent group of superbeings.
i hope not
i’d rather PJ scream at and belittle outlaw every practice for not putting “extra mustard” on his passes and then outlaw choke him out and clock him square in the jaw.
then hopefully the team has added a true hothead who gets in outlaw’s grill for sucking and then outlaw rolls up with a two by four and then says he got the steel in the truck when its time to take it to the parking lot
and then the league suspends him for the season and knowing he cant be traded allow the nets to void his contract without an arbitration hearing

Spree to SeanW...
Let’s play word association! I have written that Sean WIlliams will be speaking HEBREW sooner or later. Well, SHALOM SEAN: After an All-Star season with the Texas Legends, Sean Williams is headed to Israel. Sources with knowledge of the big man’s plans told ESPNDallas.com that Williams has agreed to a contract with Israeli club Maccabi Haifa, which has been trying feverishly to capitalize on the NBA lockout by signing players with NBA experience. From Mark Stein…..
Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
please no
I can’t stand PJ and have zero confidence in him. This is a guy who coached Kevin Durant his rookie season and taught Durant was a 6’9 230LB shooting guard. I would rather have Terry Porter, Mike Woodson or any former lakers assistant coaches
by Blkswizz on Aug 11, 2011 11:59 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Not a gigantic difference being a 6'9" SF and a 6'9" shooting guard
Durant was so thin when he entered the league that being a SG was probably a good idea, he’d have an even bigger height advantage and less beefier opponents
I like it.

If Gaines plays tonight, that will be very good news for the Nets...
It will mean his injury has healed significantly enough, if he can play again two days after scoring 39 points.
Gaines did look pretty good last year when he got important minutes down the stretch when games were on the line.
From that brief recap it sounds like Gaines was the star of the game, for the winning Franchise team…
NetsDaily NetsDaily.com
@darooster8 we are a small but intelligent group of superbeings.
39 points isn't a good enough indication???
seems like he’s fine. Played well with Durant last week at Ruckers.
Of course if the season is lost, he’s a free agent and Farmar has a player option and Williams has an ETO. So they could also be gone.
Oh God, what does it matter?

I do?
i liked Dave Joerger, but he got signed.
Avery has said he wants at least one of his assistants to have been a head coach.
And by the way, I doubt seriously that Mitchell will be back under any circumstances.
Good read.
Thanks.

2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.
Don't let Andres read that article...(LOL)
My fantasy is that after T-Will’s rookie contract expires, he will be waived, learn his lesson, and the Nets will bring him on board again. Playing for minimum he would then put it all together and become a nice role player for our team.

but dont get me wrong
if i had to choose Brooks or T Will i’lll go with brooks for many reasons starting with Brooks not a head case and pressure doesn’t bust his pipes.
by Aidar Berlinbayev on Aug 11, 2011 2:24 PM EDT up reply actions
well, the Nets did get Brooks
with the pick they got in the TWIll deal plus next year’s Rocket pick (and a year of Sasha) for Joe Smith, two second round picks and T-Will.
He wants -- Needs -- to be the center of attention. He's psychologically hard wired that way.
What I’ve continually said is that he is unable to be an NBA role player because of his psychological needs, yet he’s not a good enough player to be the star of an NBA team. That’s why what’s best for him is to go and stay overseas and be the best player of a team over there somewhere and bask in the attention he gets from 5,000 fans each game. There’s no shame in that. The shame is in not knowing yourself, which I’m unsure he does yet. That’s the sad part — to see someone misguided and lose his/her direction in life. He would be happy overseas, I think. Clearly, the attempt to become an NBA role player is not working for him.

Sounds a lot like Starbury
He could in theory run the point on a good team, but he’d have to realize he’s not the best player on the floor, and I doubt he ever believed that.

Johnson, Mitchell and Krystowiak all had part of their salaries paid by their old teams last year.
Under offset clauses in their deals, if they were fired and hired by another team, their old team was responsible only for the difference. Of course, their new team could save some money by not paying them big salaries and let the old team pick up the rest. Nets apparently gave each of the three less than the market rate and then had their old teams make up the difference.
John Loyer, who was dumped by Philly when Maurice Cheeks was fired, also was still being paid by the Sixers in 2009-10 and maybe even last year (and someone suggested to me that Billy King also was still being paid by Philly last year.)
i believe buldenhozer and elie have been picked up already
and laimbeer is lurking out there just in case glen taylor(t’wolves owner) loses his mind

I don't think Buldenhozer's option has been picked up
Because about a month ago, there were discussions that he could be the next Warriors coach. i would love if the Nets could get him, very good defensive coach. And Carlesimo as well.
