Brooklyn is in advanced discussions with Ime Udoka to take over as head coach, sources told @SInow. The Nets have been vetting Udoka the last few days. Boston, which suspended Udoka in September, is expected to allow Udoka to leave. – 2:15 PM

Suspended Celtics coach Ime Udoka has emerged as the likely next Brooklyn Nets head coach and his hiring could be finalized as soon as the next 24-to-48 hours, sources tell ESPN. Celtics will let him leave for another job. – 2:12 PM

I’m curious if “sides have begun discussions” is Ime Udoka and the Nets or the Nets and the Celtics.
I really have no idea if the Celtics will push for compensation in return for letting Udoka go. Or if Boston even wants to go there or to just wash their hands of the situation. – 2:06 PM

If your Twitter is slow right now, it’s because Nets fans have overwhelmed the servers while deleting their jokes about Ime Udoka and the Celtics suspending him. Things should stabilize shortly. – 2:01 PM

New: Ime Udoka has emerged as a frontrunner for the Nets head coaching job per reports. A pressing question now is whether the Celtics should allow him to take the position without trade compensation? A closer look at those particulars: masslive.com/celtics/2022/1… – 1:57 PM

I’d expect Mike D’Antoni to be in the mix with Ime Udoka and Quin Snyder for Brooklyn.
D’Antoni ran the Nets offense during their 2020-21 run. Has experience with Brooklyn’s stars. – 1:24 PM

Brooklyn, among other teams, has quietly done due diligence on the circumstances of Ime Udoka’s suspension in Boston, source told @SInow. With Udoka unlikely to ever return to the Celtics bench, teams have been looking into what happened. – 1:09 PM

Would Boston let Ime Udoka go to a division rival who has the talent to turn things around? The Nets will certainly try to find out. – 1:08 PM

Ime Udoka worked for the Nets as an assistant the year before the Celtics hired him. His coaching style seems to work with stars. He would make a lot of sense as a Steve Nash replacement if Brooklyn is willing to overlook the serious mess that led to his suspension in Boston. – 1:07 PM

Hey, if the Celtics are willing to throw their hands up and just let Ime Udoka walk, whatever. That’s their choice.
I wouldn’t allow it to a division rival, but Boston must really be done with that situation if they just let him leave without issue. – 1:06 PM

Jacque Vaughn is the acting head coach tonight but expect the Nets to inquire with suspended Celtics coach Ime Udoka, Quin Snyder, among others. Boston will let Udoka leave for another job. – 1:03 PM

Udoka is suspended for the season by BOS, reportedly for inappropriate conduct with female staffer -via Twitter @IanBegley / November 1, 2022
