The Brooklyn Nets find themselves with an opening both at head coach and general manager, and there was a thought that John Calipari would be a hot target. Indeed, his reported asking price is $120 million.
But Calipari denied those rumors via his Twitter account Monday morning.
I am not negotiating with ANYBODY. My total focus is on this team and winning the next game.

You may have heard me say this before: I absolutely have the best coaching job in sports and I plan on being at Kentucky for a long time.

In a press conference Monday, Prokhorov said Calipari was “a great coach” and he would consider all good candidates, but that he did not think hiring one person for both jobs was a viable option.
