The New Jersey Nets continue to make a move that will make them better against NBA odds at the sports book next season. They have arrived at an agreement to make Avery Johnson their next head coach and that should make them an instantaneous contender to win against sports book online odds next season. With Dallas, all Avery Johnson did was to win matches. With the Mavericks, he had a 194-70 regular season record. He got the squad to the NBA Finals in 2006, yet he was fired after losing in the playoffs in 2008 to New Orleans. He sat out this past year and was a commentator for ESPN. No matter who the squad resolved to get in free agency, Johnson should instantly get better New Jersey. Johnson was quite extraordinary in his meeting with New Jersey general manager Rod Thorn and the Nets didn't wait to hire Johnson. Sources say that Johnson's target salary will be between $4 and $4.5 million a year, and that he'll be given a 3-year deal. Supposedly Johnson was also the only candidate known to be interviewed. Nets president Rod Thorn reached out to Johnson before any other applicants. At that time, Johnson was already interviewing for opportunities in Philadelphia and New Orleans. He also seemed to be the front runner for the Hornets job. But joining New Jersey was, according to reports, fascinating to him. Other applicants were considered, like Jeff Van Gundy and Tom Thibodeau, but nothing turned out anyway. Van Gundy hasn't coached since the 2006-07 season and is now a television expert. He resisted going back to coaching so he might continue to take time with his family in Houston. The Nets are expected to be major players in free agency so Johnson should have a say in which players the squad goes after. He'll also be expected to get point guard Devin Harris back in line. The two have worked together in the past, since Harris played for Johnson with the Mavericks, although they don't always agree. Harris did claim that Johnson helped him to become a better player. Mikhail Prokhorov, the new owner of the Nets, is set to rebuild a franchise that went an NBA-worst 12-70 the past season. He is rather thrilled about the selection of Johnson and named it the 1st step in turning the Nets around. Johnson has the greatest winning ratio of any coach in NBA history. He was NBA Coach of the Year when he headed Dallas to the NBA Finals. New Jersey still has Harris and they also have a solid young center in Brook Lopez. Fresh Jersey has a lot of money to spend on free agents, and they also pick 3rd in the impending NBA Draft. The days of the Nets being a joke in the league are ended as Johnson is an excellent coach who will have his squad playing defense and efficient offense. With two free agents, the Nets might go from the worst squad in the league to a playoff squad next season with Johnson in charge.
