Demoted Frank wants buyout from Nets

The Lawrence Frank re-assignment news came out of nowhere yesterday when Jason Kidd announced the lead assistant on his staff would no longer be on the sidelines during Brooklyn Nets games.

Instead he was going to submit daily reports, despite being the highest paid assistant coach in the NBA at $6 million over six years. This re-assignment probably isn't going to last long though.

Tim Bontemps of the New York Post is reporting that Lawrence Frank is retaining "high-powered legal counsel" in an effort to most likely work on a buyout with the organization.
