OT:Source, Williams To Become Hornets Coach

[JCM]

After pulling an offer to Tom Thibodeau, the New Orleans Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers assistant Monty Williams have agreed to the framework of a three-year contract to become the team’s head coach, a source briefed on the talks told Yahoo! Sports.

Hornets GM Jeff Bower abandoned his courtship of Thibodeau, a Boston Celtics assistant, on Friday afternoon, and entered into discussions with Williams to take the job. The source says the team will hold an option for the third season of the deal.

Right. Now it would be really nice to hear, "Nets To Hire Avery Johnson."

I dont think it matters. Avery isnt on the Bulls radar and good. The guys voice is irritating and he already opened his mouth about our team.

I saw what you wrote. Im just saying that whether hes available or not, it really doesnt matter to our FO. Unless you think Avery would push away FAs like LeBron.

I dont think he's a huge draw for free agents.

Finally, the Bulls are starting to head into the right direction...

First it was obtaining the #1 pick ~ D-Rose, Trading Tyrus Thomas, Playoff appearance 2 straight years, Firing Del Negro, Hiring Mr.Thibodeau, and lastly... Lebron James in Chi-Town?
