The Brooklyn Nets made two coaching hires over the weekend, adding former NBA veteran and Overtime Elite coach Kevin Ollie and Long Island Nets head coach Ronnie Burrell to the staff.

He is a well-respected name in the NBA community dating back decades. And Ronnie Burrell is coming off earning the G-League coach of the year honors for his time in Long Island.Doug Norrie breaks down these hires and what they could mean for the team.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

With the Monty Williams hiring in Detroit, there is increased speculation that the Pistons could make a run at Cameron Johnson as a restricted free agent this off season. If that’s the case, then Sean Marks and the Brooklyn Nets could find themselves in a somewhat tricky situation around what to do with the small forward. If Detroit got into the mix, would Johnson be incentivized to go and play with his ex-Suns coach? Monty Williams has been very complimentary of him in the past. Could the Nets explore a sign and trade here? Or would the Cameron Johnson market be proof that Brooklyn should pay top dollar to retain his services? There’s a lot to consider with this situation. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

With the NBA Finals starting on Thursday, the Locked on Nets guys take a look at both teams and what the Nets can learn from each on future roster building and management.
