> With four openings on the Nets coaching staff, a league source tell NetsDaily that the Nets are “100%” in on pursuing James Borrego, the former head coach of both the Hornets and Magic, as Jacque Vaughn’s lead assistant.
>
>The source also noted that the Nets pursued Borrego a year ago, not long after he had been fired by the Hornets in April 2022. The Nets currently have four assistant coaching jobs open following management’s decision to part ways with Igor Kokoskov, Brian Keefe and Tiago Splitter.
>
>The league source is one of several recently to suggest that Borrego might be interested in returning to coaching and that Brooklyn is interested in him. On Friday, Marc Stein reported that the 45-year-old has become a hot property … and noted that Borrego was on Vaughn’s staff in Orlando.
