Nope, the Brooklyn Nets don’t have interest in restricted free agent Peyton Watson. Ask any self-respecting pundit. They’ll tell you the 6’9” 23-year-old two-way player is headed either back to the Denver Nuggets or maybe the Los Angeles Clippers or the Atlanta Hawks … although the Hawks acquisition of Lu Dort seems to have quelled […]
Cavaliers A Kevin Love reunion with the Cavaliers is an idea that just won’t seem to go away. Writing for Cavs on SI, John Hobbs suggested the veteran forward remains a logical fit for Cleveland’s bench, citing his outside shooting, rebounding and championship experience. On paper, it’s easy to see why. Love, 37, averaged 6.7 points […]

Over the past few days, several players from the Brooklyn Nets’ 2025-26 squad have found new homes, specifically forwards Jalen Wilson, Ziaire Williams, two-way guard Tyson Etienne, and Trevon Scott, a forward who had two 10-day contracts with the team to close out the year.

Even though Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. claims to be happy with his current situation, he needs the Detroit Pistons as much as they need him.
The Donovan Mitchell extension only confirms that the Cleveland Cavaliers will soon have to make cost-cutting moves like the Lu Dort trade.
If the Dallas Mavericks want to turn Sergio De Larrea into a star, they should follow the blueprint the Brooklyn Nets used for Egor Demin. They can play De Larrea off the ball at first rather than throwing him into the fire as a point guard right away.
Yeah, we’re a little late but there’s a lot to ponder. The end of the Brooklyn Nets two summer leagues, coinciding with the start of free agency, seems like a good time to assess things. The Nets could make a move yet and LeBron James hasn’t made his decision. Just Saturday, the New York Knicks […]

Jonathan Kuminga would help the Minnesota Timberwolves’ forward depth problem, but he would not fully solve it by himself. The better answer is that he could be part of the solution if Minnesota wants a younger, more athletic wing who can play up a position and take pressure off Jaden McDaniels. After offloading Julius Randle to the Brooklyn Nets, the Wolves lost a big frontcourt scorer.
Hawks The Hawks have spent the past couple of offseasons building an identity. It’s becoming increasingly clear what that identity is. According to Lauren Williams of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Hawks believe they’ve added even more toughness by swapping Zaccharie Risacher for Luguentz Dort and Ryan Nembhard. Dort brings playoff experience and a reputation as […]

If the Brooklyn Nets and Michael Porter Jr. fail to gain traction on a new contract, the next logical step is to start probing the trade market.
Michael Porter Jr. entered Brooklyn as a proven champion, but with a very different responsibility than the one he held in Denver. After becoming the veteran leader on the NBA’s youngest roster, Porter believes the Nets are developing something meaningful. “Being in Denver, being one of the younger guys, a part of established culture and […]

Nets Michael Porter Jr.‘s long-term future with the Nets remains uncertain.

On his first Summer League possession, roughly 51 ticks into the game, he notched his first assist. The following time down the floor, about a minute later, he […]
As we wrote in the piece asking the question, it was a very tough year for Nets fans. A ton of losses and a Knicks championship. Not the best.
