Heat get 50th pick James Ennis for future 2nd rounder

MIAMI — The Miami Heat don’t expect to have many open roster spots. But an athletic rookie swingman might get his chance.

The Heat went into Thursday night’s draft without any picks. But for a future second-round selection they acquired James Ennis, who had been drafted No. 50 in the second round by the Atlanta Hawks.

The 6-foot-7 Ennis averaged 16.5 points and 6.7 rebounds last season as a Long Beach State senior. Ennis, who turns 23 Monday, is very athletic and has high jumped 6-11.

"We were happy to get into the draft," Heat president Pat Riley said. "We feel that James Ennis, with his size and athleticism, has a huge upside and someone we hope can develop into a high-quality NBA player."

The Heat don’t expect to have many roster spots open since they want to bring back nearly all their players from last season. However, Ennis will have a chance to impress team brass when he joins Miami in summer leagues in Orlando and Las Vegas.

If Ennis doesn’t look to be a candidate for a roster spot, he could be sent overseas. If the Heat want him to play in the D-League and keep his rights, he would have to be on their 15-man roster.

Ennis is the first player from Long Beach State drafted since 1998. He was named Player of the Year in the Big West Conference after having raised his scoring average from 10.0 as a junior.

Hindi lang pala si KG and Pierce pati din si Rondo. Wala ng natira sa Celtics. Sabagay, naka 17 rings na din naman sila.

76ers to hire Brett Brown

The Philadelphia 76ers will hire San Antonio Spurs assistant Brett Brown as their new coach, according to a New York Daily News report.

Brown has been an assistant under Spurs coach Gregg Popovich for the past seven seasons, and previously served as San Antonio's player development coach.

Brown becomes the second Spurs assistant to land a head coaching job this offseason, joining Mike Budenholzer (Hawks).

Brown replaces Doug Collins, who was not retained after three seasons as the 76ers' coach.

Source: Phil Jackson turns down Nets

Phil Jackson has rejected the Brooklyn Nets' overtures to take over as coach, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.

Phil Jackson would prefer to return to the NBA in a front-office role. (Getty Images)Nets general manager Billy King talked with Jackson on Tuesday, and Jackson, the 11-time champion coach, reaffirmed his desire to pursue a broader front-office role over coaching in his return to the NBA.

Mikhail Prokhorov, the Nets' billionaire owner, was believed to be prepared to make Jackson the highest-paid coach in team history.

Jackson is consulting with the Detroit Pistons on their coaching search, and could ultimately receive an offer from the Toronto Raptors to run that organization.

The Nets had waited for a response from Jackson before embarking on their coaching search, and now will soon start reaching out to candidates.

The Nets lost in seven games to the Chicago Bulls in an Eastern Conference first-round series.

The New York Post first reported Jackson's decision with the Nets
