Nets to get crack at luring Indiana assistant Shaw to Brooklyn
While Lionel Hollins continues to hope — perhaps beyond hope — that he still has a home in Memphis, red-hot Indiana assistant Brian Shaw is reportedly set to interview for the Brooklyn Nets’ vacant head-coaching position.
According to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, Nets general manager Billy King is expected to meet with Shaw in the hopes of luring the five-time NBA champion to the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues in time for the upcoming NBA Draft, which will be held at the Barclays Center on June 27.
Hollins, who is also rumored to be a candidate for the highly coveted job, continues to rail against the Memphis hierarchy, claiming he’d rather maintain his post with the Grizzlies, whom he led to the Western Conference Finals this past season after a record-setting 56-win campaign.
