Back last June, there were rumors aplenty about who would replace P.J. Carlesimo as Nets head coach. Just as quickly as a name would be floated, it would be knocked down. No, it wouldn't be George Karl or Lionel Hollins or Brian Shaw , team sources confirmed. And it certainly wasn't going to Mike Dunleavy Sr., now rumored as a candidate for the Knicks job. No, the Nets --and particularly ownership...

Jason Kidd loves to run, ran the Nets to a franchise record 19 fast break points a game in 2001-02, despite having two plodding centers, Todd MacCulloch, who was 7'3" and Jason Collins , three inches shorter. Kidd would find Big Todd in the paint, knowing his bulk and great hands would often result in an easy basket. Now as coach, there's little doubt Kidd would like to run again. Brook Lopez is immensely...

The Nets were all talking positively about the team's future Thursday as players packed up and headed for home or vacation ... or in the case of Deron Williams , a visit with the team's foot specialist. At the core of the confidence was a belief that the team was likely to stick together. At least that was the hope.
