There are some NBA officials and league insiders who are convinced Milwaukee owner Herb Kohl already has made his determination on Harris? fate and has his henchmen looking for possible replacements.

Not surprisingly, one of the names prominently being mentioned is Doug Collins, who has held a variety of NBA positions over the years and is now a broadcaster for TNT.

Now, based on conversations with several NBA officials, Kohl is courting Collins again. This time, money could be the hangup in reaching an agreement. While Kohl is paying Harris about $1 million a year, Collins is believed to be seeking $2 million a year or more.
