coach Kurt Rambis as the team's new Assistant Head Coach. General Manager
Toni Kukoc announced this morning.

Kurt and Coach Skiles, we feel that it is best if we could fully utilize both
coaches' ability and potential for the benefit of our team"
Rambis brings with him the famed triangle offense to New Jersey. Which,
combined with Scott Skiles' defensive schemes and emphasis on effort, hustling,
and rebounding, should make New Jersey into a much better team.

New Jersey Nets' Sophomore Leo Lai has announced that he will be
changing his jersey number from #10 to #24.
Lai played his rookie season last year with number 10, his number
during his time in the Chinese Basketball Association. However, he
stated that he would like to revert back to #24, his number during his
high school days.
"#24 means a lot to me" said Lai "It reminds me of the times i spent in
high school with my friends, fighting with them every year during the
seasons"
"Of course, it's also in homage of the great Kobe Bryant, who is one of
my favorite players ever to play the game" added Lai
In order for a player to change jersey numbers at will, he either has to
change teams or have the team inform the league of the decision more
than six months in advance. Sources say the Nets informed the league
of Lai's wishes to change his number by the deadline back in March of
2010.

That's quite sick. Also great job luring Ray Allen away, especially for that kind of money, although I would hate that in real life.
