The NBA's preeminent writer Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that if coach John Calipari ever leaves Kentucky, he'll want 10 years and $120 million, and complete control. The Brooklyn Nets fired coach Lionel Hollins and reassigned general manager Billy King (a former Duke player), and have been linked to Calipari, who also used to coach the Nets. But that asking price, yeah, too much. The Nets next three first-round picks, all expected high it looks like, are going to the Boston Celtics as part of the Paul Pierce/Kevin Garnett trade a few years ago (which is looking as bad as the Vikings/Cowboys trade with Herschel Walker).
