I'll pass on Atkinson.

Why?
Who do you prefer?

Atkinson got a bunch of yute and no-names to play yard and develop, and the team to pull together.  Worked great until they brought in the gimpy prima donnas.

By the way, congrats to RICK PITINO on his return stateside - his appointment at Iona.

Still one of the very best.  Gaels have a new fan.

Vets played a good amount of minutes.

And he had a star in Russell.

Minus that star he went back to -6 in W-L

Vets played a good amount of minutes.

DeMarre came off the bench for 25 mins per.  Ed Davis was a bench guy for 18 mins a night.  just 9 starts between them.  Dudley 20 mins, started 25 of 59 games he played.  Crabbe started 20 of 43 games he played.

So all of their vets totaled just 54 starts.  And I assume some of those starts overlapped, so more than half of their games were likely played without one vet starting.

Though I'm not sure I see the point anyway.  Knix have some vets.  Randle is a starter, and role players Elf and Bullock probably will be back.  And they will be in the rotation, similar to what Atkinson had with BKY.

Well, Tangelo became a star, if that's what he is, in BKY under Atkinson. That's where he became a 20 Pt scorer and started shooting above average on his 3's.

Kyrie, Tangelo's replacement, managed only 20 games and was partially dinged up for even some of that score. 

LaVert missed nearly two months, and then had a very rough January while he worked himself back into shape/rhythm.   Since LaVert got his mojo back, the Nets were 12-8 from Feb 1st til the season was called.  Two of those were OT losses to BOS & PHI, plus a 1 point loss @TOR, while beating TOR, IND and LAL.
LaVert was pretty terrific in that 20 game stretch, shooting over 40% on 3's and averaging around 23 / 5 / 5.

Injuries aren't the coaches fault.

Russell had a usage uptick year 2 under Kenny, which is not uncommon for a 22 year old in his 4th season.

No - I dont think he got "better".  Was the 2nd overall pick for good reason.

It looks like we’re thinking about Atkinson because he did in Brooklyn the things Miller was starting to get done in NY. I’d rather keep Miller.

I dont count a sign and trade as a trade

And the GS-Minny deal (GS dealing him for a more balanced piece) was planned from the getgo.

Well, the voluntary lockdown in Shanghai is easing up after 7+ weeks, and I started hearing rumors that gyms and parks were reopening for basketball.  I went to the one local outdoor park, and not only was it open, but full normal hours, with lights going on at night and staying open til 9:PM.  So I got 3 hours of pretty mediocre hoops in.

I gained 5 pounds per week the first 3 weeks of the lockdown, and with limited exercise options I only lost 5 pounds the last few weeks.  Basketball should get me back down to playing weight.  Nearly a 2 month layoff.  Last time I played I think was Jan 23.  Now just have to see if/when my regular games and regular gyms are running again.

But there is light (and hoops) at the end of the lockdowns.

You're a lucky man, Bo, we're just starting out here.

Me & a couple friends had planned to celebrate spring with some half-court out on Brooklyn Bridge Park's basketball pier. We'll have to wait til summer it appears.
