Sources indicate that Nets president Rod Thorn won't make any decisions on Lawrence Frank until the team gets back to full health, or close to full health.

Frank is a lame duck in the final year of his contract, but the Nets don't have an assistant that would be a proven choice to replace him.

Nets GM Kiki Vandeweghe is not considered a candidate for a similar demotion. So with former head coach Brian Hill having left the Nets for the Pistons, the only option available to Thorn would be to promote longtime assistant Tom Barrise.
