Very unexpected news. And wild that it came out early on a Saturday morning.

Source tells me in regards to Kenny Atkinson’s departure: “(Some) of the players wanted him gone.”

Kyrie Kancer

[CelticBaller]

well well well

[Manny98]

WTF!!!

Kenny has been good for this team and why now?

It's not like we're playing below expectations considering the amount of injuries we have had to deal with this season

I assume it has something to do with Kyrie and KD not liking Kenny because I have heard some reports earlier this year that Kyrie didn't really like Kenny that much

[bobopenguin]

wtf? he got nets into playoff last season, then this?

Nah it would have to be a beef with one of their real stars, Dinwiddie and Levert.

Just a normal day for this garbage dump of a franchise

[Real Men Wear Green]

But more seriously we should wait for the real story before we just label someone a coach-killer. Extremely bizarre firing though. It can't be about meeting expectations with Durant out.

[Derka]

The 7th seed fires their coach two months before the playoffs after a win? What the actual stupid f*ck?

[LAmbruh]

wow Kyrie :facepalm

[HylianNightmare]

Vaughn gross

[Real Men Wear Green]

So apparently it was Kyrie. (https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/celtics/nba-rumors-kyrie-irving-prefers-tyronn-lue-nets-over-kenny-atkinson)

Odd thought: Irving left Cleveland because he was sick of a bout fully determined something. Well Lue was the coach. Scratch one off the list?

Nets about to get worst...

[bluechox2]

All that culture building thrown away but Durant and kyrie... shame on them... they probably wanted to trade the young guys for another established player and Kenny wouldn’t have it, then went complaining higher up

[MrFonzworth]

Eat shit to all the Nets fan out there. Waste of space G league franchise.

[Manny98]

We need answers! :mad:

[Axe]

But why does he want ty lue in his place? I don't even think he's a good coach.

[Keno]

Kyrie really is a cancer. Nets were a playoff team with Kenny and no Kyrie. Kyrie is a certified bum.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Undeserving firing. The guy is in playoffs with his highest earning player is 10 million ( 68 million between Kyrie & Durant are out).

[Manny98]

Becky Hammon and Mark Jackson are the top candidates for the new coaching vacancy.

He didn't get fired, they parted ways. Kenny wasn't keen on coaching Kyrie & KD

Mark Jackson :roll: enjoy that , I'm sure mr flat earth will mesh great with the religious nut preacher

Good thing the Nets have Dolan's dumb ass sucking up all the oxygen in NY right now b/c this is a blatant coup led by best buddies Kyrie, DJ, and Durant.

Always interesting to see a team test the value of chemistry.
