Latest news and updates about the Nets
The NBA has started their news trickle of end-of-season awards. They announced the Rookie of the Year award winner on Monday, and it was not Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel. It’s disappointing.

Mike Brown On the Game 3 loss and the series […]
Isaiah Evans has made his decision about next year and will be entering the 2026 NBA Draft. It’s not clear yet though whether he’s 100% committed to the draft. Currently, NBADraft.net has him pegged as a #14 pick to the Charlotte Hornets. For a kid from North Carolina, that’s pretty awesome, but the draft picks […]
Sean Marks may have been the GM of the Brooklyn Nets for a decade, but his roots lie elsewhere. The native of Auckland, New Zealand, is part of the first generation of international NBA players, as he said among the first 40 or 50. He became the first player from his home country to play […]

Game ones of a playoff series often show us how teams want to defend, attack, and use their strengths and weaknesses. They are also just the first step in a complex and sometimes long process that is followed up with adjustments and tweaks. Regardless, the opening game tends to give us a good idea of […]
The NBA Playoffs are underway, and has been the case for over 10 years, the Charlotte Hornets aren’t a part of it. We’ve all gotten used to the season ending in mid-April, but this time, it’s different, even if the ending is somewhat familiar.

Charlotte’s loss to Orlando ended one of the most fun NBA seasons for the franchise since the days of Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, and Muggsy Bogues.

Ask a Brooklyn Nets executive about the team’s tank — excuse us, “playing the possibilities” — and they will explain that the key to getting that top three lottery seed is not so much about the head coach making bad in-game moves, but depriving the head coach of the talent he needs to win before […]
I’m raising my hand — I’m one of those folks. I’m a firm believer in the idea that a person only has so much capacity in terms of what they can enjoy. For me, UNC sports come first and the problem is that includes a passion for UNC basketball with both the men and women’s […]
