So, the hits keep coming for the Nets.

Frank had been expected to be a part of Kidd's staff, as Kidd so as much during his introductory press conference. Already this morning there was a report that the Raptors' Eric Hughes will also join the staff, along with Roy Rogers.

It's all coming together for the Nets, who are in the midst of major trade talks and, yes, the NBA Draft is tonight.

Frank coached the Nets from 2003-2009, leading them to the playoffs in four straight seasons.
