Nets Showing Interest In Big Baby

The Nets have shown interest in restricted free-agent Glen Davis, but rumors of a sign-and-trade between New Jersey and Boston appear to be premature.

There were reports on Monday that the Nets could land Davis in a sign-and-trade with the Celtics involving forward Yi Jianlian.

Officials from both clubs denied such a deal, and a source claimed that New Jersey inquired about Davis "to see what's up and what they're looking for."

Warrick, Davis On New Jersey's Radar

The Nets are looking for a power forward and have inquired about Glen Davis and Hakim Warrick.

The New York Post characterized their inquiries with both players as "strong."

Warrick surprisingly hit the free-agent market last week when the Grizzlies renounced their $3 million qualifying offer to the forward.

Davis is a restricted free agent of the Celtics and has drawn interest from several teams.

Brian Hill Going To Detroit As Assistant

Nets assistant coach Brian Hill is leaving the team for a position with the Pistons, according to reports.

The Star-Ledger in New Jersey reported on Friday that Hill informed the Nets of his decision.

"The toughest part is leaving Lawrence and Rod, who have been so good to me over the years, and I love the guys - we have a great group of kids to work with," Hill told the Star-Ledger.

"So it's a tough decision, but for my own future -- and to help John (Kuester), who I know and respect - I've accepted the position. John's putting together a good staff, and hopefully we have a good enough group to be a playoff team."
