Kenny and his staff also extended contracts just a year ago with Nets

They went to the nets because Kyrie knew he’d get a fraction of the media scrutiny, that was it.

This ^^^

Makes no sense what they did to the team. They were entertaining to watch and bought into what Atkinson was trying to do heart and soul.

Strange.

+1. Does anyone else feel like we dodged a bullet with KD and Kyrie?

Yes. Does Kleinman have a voice with ownership there? Some speculation that he want MJax to be their next coach.

Yikes! So are they just going to try and do whatever we planned to do from now on?

Here is my take and its just me thinking.........Owner promised moon to KyRant. Let’s go back to China trip when season has not started and Kyrie was already making waves. Go read (think for yourselves fans) Atkinson’s strangely worded response to Kyries antics then. MY take is Coach before season starts has to suck up to this fool. Kenny busts his ass eating **** with awful roster for 3 years, gets the team in the playoffs and then owner starphuchs the roster and now coach has to suck it up. Tsai blew a long of cash on this team, revenue is not what he might have thought, no China revenue because of tariffs/Morey ref. Thats my guess. Then owner wants a Champsionship type Tyrone Lue type for next year. Phuch Berman with his regurgitative Thibs-JVG-KleinmanJax crap. Its old. Kenny might have the line on knicks job via what ever contacts and decides to walk away as this likely has been brewing.
Before I go endorsing his hire I’d want to know as a fan what the beef was. Also, what was the issue with Marks. Again, its the owner that sets the agenda and its for Marks to manage it and OWN it. If Marks walks you might have the answer.
Tsai fired him? That true it might be telling. New owners make mistakes. Remember Marks only takes the job providing owner gives him time and space to rebuild it.
Dolan might be having his best day in while. Time for media to look at Tsai.

Oldboy 2: A coach is suddenly released after having to spend a little more than half a season in isolation with Kyre Irving. After months of being forced to accept unfiltered flat earth doctrine, this coach emerges with one goal: to regain his sanity away from the lala land called the Nets locker room and to cash in on as much Dinwiddie coin as possible before the value crashes.
