The Brooklyn Nets are in the news again with rumors about Donovan Mitchell and former head coach Kenny Atkinson. Atkinson, now an assistant for the Golden State Warriors, is interviewing for the head coaching position with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland is expanding its search to include other candidates, like James Borrego from the New Orleans Pelicans. Atkinson had success with the Nets, guiding them through a rebuild and into the playoffs before stepping down. If hired by Cleveland, he could reunite with former players Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert.

The Cavaliers are looking for an experienced coach to help keep Mitchell, who might consider joining the Nets if he doesn't extend his contract in Cleveland. Nets owner Joe Tsai is taking a patient approach to rebuilding. Mitchell is eligible for a contract extension this summer, but his future remains uncertain.
