The agreements are expected to be signed in the near future. The news doesn’t come as a surprise, since Atkinson is a prime candidate for Coach of the Year. Brooklyn has a .5oo record with four games remaining and currently holds the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference.
Atkinson was an assistant with the Knicks and Hawks before he getting the head coaching job with the Nets. Atkinson’s current contract runs through next season. He signed a four-year deal worth approximately $10MM when he was hired.
Good move. Hopefully, next year they can take the next step.
Hopefully it isnt the “Kyrie prefers Brooklyn” rumors. He already f’d up Smart and Rozier twin heading the point in Boston, he better not stump Russell too.
How did he screw up Smart?
Alright now Proky/Tsai extend Marks! The man was a godsend and is arguably one of the best GMs in the league. The guy traded scrub Justin Hamilton for Demarre Carroll, Dzanan Musa and Rodions Kurucs!
