Brooklyn Nets

NBA Power Rankings are back! After a short delay, the return of The Hoop Doctors’ weekly look at where the league stands is once again ready for liftoff. There are no rules here, so check your need for order at the door. These rankings, like always, are going to change from week to week. That’s [...]

The Brooklyn Nets aren’t about to cry over a little 0-7 start to the 2015-16 season. General manager Billy King will, however, listen to various trade proposals. The Nets are enduring some seriously turbulent times to start the year. They’re significantly less talented on paper than they were last season, and the absence of Deron [...]

With most of the top free agents already taken, free agent forward Andrea Bargnani was eventually going to receive interest from teams. One of those teams was the Sacramento Kings who Bargnani was nearing a deal with, according to Marc Stein. However, things took a sharp turn in a different direction over the past couple [...]

Joe Johnson and Jarrett Jack are not untouchable. Go figure. Trade rumors are an occupational hazard in the NBA. For the Nets specifically, they’re a daily occurrence, one that recycles the same old desires day after day after day. They have too much money invested in a mediocre roster and need to part with talent [...]

It turns out the Brooklyn Nets won’t pay Deron Williams to go away. Williams has spent a turbulent four-plus years with the Nets organization, going from a recurring All-Star and staple in the best point guard conversation to an overpaid afterthought with ankles made of soggy tissue paper.

A lot of criticism has been bombarding Nets’ point guard Deron Williams regarding his ability to be his old dominant self—the one who was once hailed as one of the top three point guards in the league.

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

One week from now, the Brooklyn Nets might be able to thank a quirk in the late-season schedule for boosting them into one of the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spots. The Nets, on a basketball night overshadowed by Duke’s thrilling victory over Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament championship, toppled the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers 106-96 [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]
