Rick Carlisle has also agreed to become the Dallas Mavericks coach,which I don't think is a drop from Johnson.Carlisle did a very nice job with Indiana for several years.And just remember that Johnson wanted to keep Devan Harris(so in other words it was not his idea to get J-Kidd,so Dallas.......doesn't seem worth those players and draft picks now does it?
But the big news today:Mike D'antoni has signed a contract with the New York Knicks(a MAJOR improvement at the head coaching spot)for 4 years and 24 million dollars.6 million a year!Whoa.He was also being mentioned for the Chicago job where Scott Skiles was fired mid-season because of his inability to lead the team to what was expected of them.
So at this point I imagine the Bulls(come on bulls)and the Suns are in the race for Avery Johnson,with anyone else being a consolation prize.Johnson can surely do a lot for either team.
Oh yeah...Brown to Bobcats!
