Lionel Hollins is always good for a sarcastic quip, and even though media day hasn't even happened yet for the Nets, it appears coach is already in midseason form.

From Devin Kharpertian of The Brooklyn Game:

Asked Lionel if it's hard to coach when management is cost-cutting/looking long term. "You'll have to ask a coach who's gone through that."

The Nets obviously went into cost-cutting mode this summer. They bought out Deron Williams to save money (and potentially save a locker room).
