I feel like there were two different types of Nets fans this season. One type dominated Twitter, started Dwight Howard or Deron Williams trending topics, and if my memory serves, were called out by NBA reporters after the Dwightmare as “annoying.” From my angle, tuning into social media, reading tweets and news stories break, it [...]

The Brooklyn Nets are hosting a pre-draft workout this weekend with 44 non-lottery prospects on Saturday and Sunday. We’ll be covering it. A name to keep an eye on: international point guard Evan Fournier, a late addition to the workout and a player the Nets covet. Jeff “The Footenote” Foote will play for the Nets [...]

This post has little to do with the Nets, other than the fact that both teams are current members of the National Basketball Association and occasionally play each other. But sometimes, NBA news goes beyond basketball, and beyond the fact that Isaiah Thomas finished ahead of MarShon Brooks in the Rookie of the Year voting [...]

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard and 27th overall draft pick MarShon “Swag Sleeves” Brooks received a second-place vote and a third-place vote in the Rookie of the Year voting, finishing tenth overall among rookies as officially announced today by the NBA. Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving won the award handily, presumably for doing things like destroying [...]

Some highlights: SLAM: What are your thoughts on the franchise’s ability to pull together a new fan base in Brooklyn? Obviously you’ll keep a few fans from New Jersey, but for the most part the team will need to bring in a whole new set of fans. AM: I think we’re gonna have all of [...]

Andrei Kirilenko (translated) on the report that he’s verbally agreed to join the Brooklyn Nets: “That’s not true. I have no one to negotiate. The fact that there was – this is nonsense. The situation may change at any moment, but so far it’s just unsubstantiated rumors.” Speaking of Russia, look who’s there now! The [...]

It’s May 30th, and the Brooklyn Nets have just won the draft lottery, securing the rights to this year’s draft prize, Kentucky’s whirling pterodactyl Anthony Davis. Amidst celebration, Billy King’s telephone rings. On the other side is Otis Smith, Orlando Magic general manager. He gives you one finite offer: Brook Lopez in a sign-and-trade, and [...]

Season stats: 51 G, 30 GS, 18.8 MPG, 2.9 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 0.4 APG, 0.4 SPG, 0.8 BPG, .404 eFG%, .413 TS%, 4.3 PER, 3.3% PIE Preseason outlook: After not being signed until the final days of training camp, Stevenson apparently showed up to Nets camp a little out of shape, so it might take [...]

According to the New York Post and confirmed by various media outlets, Deron Williams and Billy King met with Mikhail Prokhorov Friday at CSKA Moscow’s semifinal against Panathinaikos. Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News followed up, reporting that D-Will and Prokhorov met informally at the game and had a good conversation. Some reports [...]

Evaluation Avery Johnson came to the Nets organization as the coach with the highest winning percentage in the NBA. Granted, he never won a championship as a coach, and his juggernaut Dallas teams famously flamed out in the postseason, including an epic first-round collapse against the 8th-seeded Warrios in 2007, but one thing the “Little [...]
