Nets reach agreement with Hollins to become coach

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed in principle to a deal making Lionel Hollins their next head coach.

Hollins' deal could be worth as much as 4 years, $20 million if the team picks up his fourth-year option, a source told ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne.

"We have a nice nucleus to build with," Hollins told Shelburne. "We want to be better than last year, and obviously that's going to take work. We're going to work hard, be aggressive and we're never going to quit."
