Nets coach Lawrence Frank is expected to sign a four-year, $10 million deal today.  

It is not known if the fourth year is guaranteed or is a team option. Still, the 34-year-old coach is the latest to see his contract extended. Richard Jefferson signed a six-year, $76 million deal in August. Nets president Rod Thorn signed a five-year extension worth $20-to-25 million and center Jason Collins agreed to a four-year, $24 million pact.

"I think that there is nobody that knows more about the game than Lawrence does, nobody prepares better and no one has a passion for this game any more than Lawrence," Nets president Rod Thorn said.

For the most part, Frank negotiated his own contract, saving a 4 percent agent's fee. He spoke with fellow NBA coaches for advice and got some legal help in fashioning the deal.

Frank said there were attainable incentives included.

"Every time I have ever had to deal with Rod, he has always been above-and-beyond being fair," Frank said. "It's really the way I am. I am more worried about team than personal contracts."

Frank won his first 13 games as head coach of the Nets, after taking over the club from Byron Scott.
