Rod Boone ‏@rodboone 3m
Billy King said he informed PJ this morning that he won't be back. #Nets

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 43s
Nets just announced that P.J. Carlesimo will not be retained and that their coaching search is underway immediately

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
Nets search for a new coach has started. P.J. Carlesimo won't be brought back. Jeff Van Gundy is a top target, sources say.

Right after last nights game, I said I hope when I woke up I would read that PJ is fired, and boom. Glad it was a quick decision, even though we all knew it was coming.

Not surprising.

The front office has a long way to go before I'll be satisfied with our situation.

I really disliked the way the team was thrown together and the playoff result was the proof in the pudding of how disjointed and poorly constructed we are.

Get SVG in here and it'll be the first step in the right direction.

Only the firing/release of PJ can brighten my playoff spirits....

This is massively deflating instead of the encouraging news it should have been after last night.

Is it wrong I'm still surprised by this?

Thank God he's gone. This team needs a voice that will wake them up and motivate them like Rivers, Woodson, Hollins do for their teams.

PJ was clueless in motivation and using a roster with depth.

1st good move. Hopefully more will follow.

I'd prefer Doc Rivers or Stan Van Gundy to JVG. Good defensive mind, but his offensive philosophy is outdated. We need to pick up the pace and score, score, score.

Everyone knows PJ wasn't the main problem. The main problem just got a contract extension

Stefan Bondy ‏@NYDNInterNets 50s
Billy King says its not a priority to get a high-profile coach, references Chicago's hiring of Thibodeau.

As much as Billy made dumb mistakes, I don't care. There is no excuse not winning games with the talent and depth here.

PJ was worse than Avery.

On the floor? Yes he was.

If we're talking about zero flexibility cap wise and the inability to improve roster wise, then yes, King is the main problem.

King will be forced to fall upon his sword within the next two years, mark my words. Trading that 6th pick for Gerald Wallace and trading for that sack of **** Joe Johnson already sealed his fate. He'll be done as the Nets GM, and done in this league.

PJ was a way bigger problem than King is. The roster King put together was overpaid as it is should've archived way more. It's not like PJ got the players to perform their best and we still lost. He especially misshandled our bench .

Actually, other people thought he did a good job. Nobody has once questioned his moves other than local beat writers.

He would have gotten a job if he wasn't retained somewhere.

Are you talking about BK or PJ?

He's not fired, just won't be offered a new contact.

Same end result, but still.

great news either way

BK.

Literally everyone said he did a good job with hand he was dealt with this summer and making a good team out of the Dwightmare.

You'll also have people saying we should have re-signed PJ. Just watch.
