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

The Brooklyn Nets are finalizing a deal to hire suspended Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka and a formal agreement is expected to be reached as soon as Wednesday, sources told ESPN. After parting with coach Steve Nash, the Nets are bringing back Udoka to try and salvage a reeling franchise amid turmoil and a 2-5 start to the season. Boston is not requiring draft compensation from Brooklyn to hire Udoka, but there are discussions that are taking place before a deal can be finalized, sources said. -via ESPN / November 1, 2022
The Nets, who have lost five of seven games to start the season, will keep assistant Jacque Vaughn as the acting head coach until Udoka can start the job. Boston suspended Udoka for the 2022-23 season for an improper relationship with a subordinate before training camp, but sources say the Celtics never planned to stand in the way of Udoka accepting another coaching job. -via ESPN / November 1, 2022
