From the Athletic on how Vaughn changed the offense...not the whole article I just took away the main parts

Spoiler

Vaughn pivoted to a system that gave more freedom to LeVert, his best remaining offensive weapon, while tailoring to the games of new additions such as Tyler Johnson. The Nets offense in March emphasized layups and 3s and discouraged mid-range jump shots, which is Johnson’s specialty. Johnson said that Vaughn’s plan is working because it prioritizes the players’ strengths instead of forcing them to be part of a specific system.
The Nets struggled with ball movement early on in the bubble during their scrimmages as they tried to kick off rust after a four-month hiatus and get familiar with their newest players. But over time, it’s become more refined as players have gotten more acclimated. Brooklyn had 32 assists on 47 shots made against the Clippers, which marked the fourth time in six games that the Nets have clocked 30-plus assists in a game. Vaughn has pushed players to try to get rid of the ball quickly, and Chiozza has challenged his teammates to go from “getting good (shots) to great shots.”

Although Vaughn’s style of basketball has had to be completely different than his former boss, Kenny Atkinson, and not necessarily by choice, it appears Vaughn has learned from Atkinson’s mistakes, which has benefited the Nets offensively. Atkinson was known for being too married to his rotations and would sometimes lose out of a refusal to make a substitution in order to stop the bleeding or get a certain matchup for a particular situation. Vaughn has consistently subbed when he sees a particular scoring opportunity, especially at the end of quarters.

Against the Kings, Vaughn brought LeVert back onto the court with 6.9 seconds left for the final play of the first quarter. The payoff worked as LeVert beat the buzzer with a layup to cut the Kings’ lead to 27-24. Vaughn has used a similar approach in other seeding games and said on Friday that he believes in trying to end a quarter on a high note in order to carry some mojo into the next.

“I do feel that when you can take advantage of those situations — whether you’ve seen us go small before, you’ve seen some unconventional lineups, you see us get Caris back into the game to get a possession,” Vaughn said. “Sometimes those are momentum swings. So we’ll continue to try to take advantage of the end of quarters.”

Quotes say alot about Kenny ..mostly what we've been saying here forever..

The Brooklyn Nets will begin their head coaching search at the end of their season to find the person they want to lead a championship contender around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, sources have told The Athletic.

Nets owner Joe Tsai wants a full-scale head coaching process to identify the best partner for team ownership, the front office, coaching staff and players, sources say. Current head coach Jacque Vaughn is the incumbent and will be a significant candidate to retain the job he currently holds. Nets GM Sean Marks will work closely with ownership and his front office on the task of finding the proper leader for the position with Brooklyn as a leading title threat for the 2020-21 season.

Several external candidates have emerged for the job, according to league sources: Los Angeles Lakers assistant Jason Kidd, Philadelphia 76ers assistant Ime Udoka, LA Clippers assistant Ty Lue and former Rockets and Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy.

Other candidates are expected to enter the pool as job statuses around the league change. For the Nets, continuing to build their culture based on relationships and pursuing sustainable success with championship standards have been prioritized, and will be at the forefront of this head coaching search as a potential fit is considered with everyone involved.

Brooklyn has clinched a postseason berth and the seventh seed during the NBA’s restarted season. Vaughn won two games as head coach prior to the hiatus and has led the Nets to a 4-2 record in Orlando — including a 129-120 win over the Clippers on Sunday night. His calm temperament in coaching, ability to make adjustments and relationship with the current players has been evident to those around the team, which has rallied around him in the restart. Vaughn recently spoke to The Athletic about how he intended to make the most of his opportunity during the NBA’s resumption of play.

Jeremiah Martin

ill be keeping an eye out for this kid

 

[Crack Daniels]

I don’t know how Marks is gonna figure out which guards stick around. I’d guess Crawford/Temple/Chiozza. Jeremiah Martin deserves a look based off his defense alone. Johnson and Musa are probably gone

fukk Jason Kidd

Want no parts of that bald headed snake

20/21 Nets no trades

Kyrie/Dinwiddie/Martin
Levert/Temple/Tyler Johnson?
Harris/Prince/TLC
KD/Kurucs/Chandler
Allen/DJ

Personally I trade Dinwiddie and bet it all on Levert. See what a Dinwiddie/Prince/picks package can bring me back at the PF spot. I want a dog at the PF spot to rebound and play defense but hit the open 3. I’m praying for the amnesty and Blake Griffin or someone like that.

I hope they give Vaughn a good long look, hes been coaching his azz off. It comes down to whether or not KD is cool w/ it though i guess....

The bolded is what I’m afraid of honestly. KD and especially Kyrie’s mind be all over the Damn place. I hope Sean marks is putting his foot down to some degree and seeing to what’s right for the team
