Brooklyn Nets

Any team that has soon-to-be free agents with undefined market values better beware the Brooklyn Nets. They have mountains of cap space, plus the incentive to overpay fringe stars both in the short and long term as they schlepp their way through an extensive rebuild. The assumption has always been they would throw max offers at [...]

As the 2016-17 season winds down more teams are agreeing to jersey sponsorship deals with companies. Next season will be the first year in which these sponsorship can be active. Thus far three NBA teams had agreed to jersey sponsorship deals for the 2017-18 season, The 76ers with StubHub, the Kings with Blue Diamond Almonds [...]

In the event you were thinking the Brooklyn Nets would lower their asking price in a Brook Lopez trade as the Feb. 23 deadline inches ever closer, think again. Lopez’s name, as it tends to do, was thrust back into the rumor mill when The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the New Orleans Pelicans were showing [...]

At 28 years old, firmly entrenched in his prime, with only one year remaining after this one on his contract, Brook Lopez profiles as one of the NBA’s best trade assets. But only if the Brooklyn Nets view him as one, and it’s unclear if they do. Indeed, the Nets have the worst record in [...]

Jeremy Lin’s first season with the Brooklyn Nets has not gone according to plan. He has appeared in just 12 games all season, missing the other 25 with two different hamstring injuries. The latest hamstring injury has sidelined him for the team’s last seven games—all losses. And while the Nets have yet to provide a [...]

Just when you think the Brook Lopez rumor mill has ground down to a slow, agreeable halt, here comes another stance pulling us in a different direction. From the Sporting News’ Sean Deveney: The Nets have been willing to trade Lopez all season, but interest has been limited so far. His numbers are typical of [...]

Jeremy Lin had some good news about the state of his left hamstring ahead of the Brooklyn Nets’ Monday night loss to the Utah Jazz: This injury isn’t as severe as his previous hamstring issue that sidelined him for 17 games earlier in the season. He also had some bad news: He doesn’t know when [...]

Entering the 2016-17 season, many people just assumed the Brooklyn Nets were going to trade Brook Lopez. And with the way he’s playing now, you’d think that would remain the prevailing mindset. It hasn’t. Per Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler: [tweet https://twitter.com/stevekylerNBA/status/814808489516269568] Indeed, from an outsider’s perspective, all has seemed quiet on the Lopez front—save for [...]

Well, the Brooklyn Nets took their shot. Again. And they missed. Again. The Nets signed restricted free agents Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson to offer sheets over the summer. Both deals were matched by incumbent teams. Fast forward to December, and the Nets took a shot on unsigned restricted free agent Donatas Motiejunas. But his [...]

Allen Crabbe was just as shocked as you were that the Brooklyn Nets threw a four-year, $75 million offer sheet his way, one that the Portland Trail Blazers matched, also surprisingly. Here’s what he told Nets Daily’s Anthony Puccio while his Blazers were in Brooklyn to play the Nets: “At first when they made the [...]
