It’s the early bird that catches the Slim Reaper. Right? RIGHT? RIGHT? The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly hoping so. According to the New York Daily News‘ Stefan Bondy, the Nets plan to chase Kevin Durant when he becomes a free agent in 2016: On Friday , the Nets will chase Kevin Durant around the Barclays [...]

Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov hasn’t given up his team. Meaning? He’s a far better man than I am. Although the Nets have began the season 16-22, waffling in and out of the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture, Prokhorov has yet to give up hope. His team was supposed to contend for a title following the [...]

Okay then, Magic. Following the Brooklyn Nets’ 101-100 victory over the Miami Heat, Magic Johnson got a little excited. I’m going to assume that’s what happened, anyway. Something must’ve had him outright jubilant for him to say what he said. Magic attended the game and afterward, he proclaimed that the Nets may have the most [...]

You knew this one was coming. For the 12th-year running, the NBA polled all 30 of its general managers on the happenings of the league. Questions ranged from “Which team will be most improved in 2013-14?” to “Which player is best at moving without the ball?” to “Why in the hell won’t the Boston Celtics [...]

A 37-year-old Kevin Garnett has still got it. Age won’t extinguish the competitive fire he has left, and it most certainly won’t deter him from being honest. That’s not how it was with the Minnesota Timberwolves, that’s not how it was with the Boston Celtics and that most certainly isn’t going to be how it [...]

The NBA doesn’t have any points right now. Not any real ones, at least. That’s what Hall of Famer Gary Payton believes anyway. Or something close to it. Leading up to his Hall of Fame nuptials, Payton made plenty of headlines for the opinions he offered on the Association, and its past and present players. [...]

J.J. Barea hasn’t forgotten how much he loved playing for the Dallas Mavericks. The point guard spent five seasons in Dallas, mostly as a backup, before signing with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the summer of 2011. His departure was and remains unsettling, since it came just after the Mavs beat the Miami Heat in the [...]

Jason Kidd is setting the bar high for Deron Williams. The 2013-14 NBA season hasn’t even started, and already the Brooklyn Nets’ head coach is expecting the world of his All-Star point guard. While signing autographs, the New York Daily News‘ Stefan Bondy (h/t ProBasketballTalk) writes that Kidd said he wants Williams averaging at least [...]

Mark Cuban’s not sorry that he’s not sorry. Since his Dallas Mavericks won an NBA title in 2011, Cuban has taken a lot of flack for the decisions he’s made or simply allowed to be made. After Dirk Nowitzki led them to a championship over the Miami Heat, the team was essentially dismantled. Just like [...]

Monta Ellis isn’t Dwight Howard, and that’s not a problem for Mark Cuban. The Dallas Mavericks owner put his team in a position to sign a top-tier free agent in each of the last two summers, but to no avail. Deron Williams spurned them for the Brooklyn Nets last summer, and Howard chose the Houston [...]
