How it happened last time … and some lessons
Finn Wentworth isn’t a well-known Nets executive. He was franchise president back in 2000 and was chosen by the team to witness the draft that year in a back room at the NBA TV headquarters in Secaucus, N.J. where the ping pong balls were drawn. The New Jersey Nets had a 4.4% chance in the […]
Live Discussion: The NBA Draft Lottery, 3:00 PM ET
It’s the biggest day of the year for the Brooklyn Nets and it all comes down to luck — a 52.1% chance at a top-4 pick and a 14% chance at the No. 1 overall pick. If you’ve followed the organization long enough, luck is not something Nets fans are accustomed to. They really need […]
NY Liberty vs. Washington Mystics preview: A Sunday matinee
Off to a roaring start. The New York Liberty kicked off the WNBA season with a dominant, 106-75 win against the Connecticut Sun on Friday night. New York left Barclays Center on a high and will be out of the town for the week before coming home to start a seven game homestand. The opponent […]
The basketball journey — and journals — of Tyson Etienne
There’s a stack of notebooks that are never too far from hand. They hold within them every single action a wiry high school sophomore has taken since he decided to leave behind his home state of New Jersey to transfer to a Lutheran school an hour and a half away in Long Island. “His work […]
Steve Hetzel draws head coaching interest from second team
It’s been quite the Spring for Brooklyn Nets assistant coach Steve Hetzel. In early April, Fred Katz and Eric Nehm of The Athletic mentioned him in a story meant to highlight the top candidates to be first-time NBA head coaches this offseason. Earlier this week, Sam Amick, also of The Athletic, reported that Hetzel is a finalist […]
What to look for at the NBA Draft Lottery
It’s finally here, the big day. The NBA Lottery takes place Sunday. Is it the biggest day for the Nets franchise history since the move to Brooklyn? Hardly. That would be “Clean Sweep” back in June 2019 when the Nets signed Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan. (Less said about what happened next the […]
New York Liberty destroy Connecticut Sun in opener, win 106-75
This is not how the New York Liberty wanted to start to the season. Sabrina Ionescu is out two weeks with an ankle injury, Satou Sabally, a stunning free-agent addition, did not appear in either of New York’s preseason games. Rebecca Allen ain’t ready to play either. Leonie Fiebich and Raquel Carrera likely won’t arrive […]
NY Liberty vs. Connecticut Sun preview: Opening Day!
The WNBA is back and the New York Liberty are hoping to make it back to the WNBA Finals. When we last saw the seafoam, they were in the midst of a frustrating and ultimately disappointing playoff exit at the hands of the Phoenix Mercury. With a retooled roster and plenty of other changes, they’re […]
It’s VINCE! VC and Joe Tsai will rep Nets at NBA Lottery Sunday
First it was the Basketball Hall of Fame in August 2024. Then it was his jersey retirement in Brooklyn in January 2025. Now, Vince Carter will be honored once again by the Brooklyn Nets. On Sunday, VC will be the Nets representative on the dias for the NBA Lottery, hoping the same luck that sustained […]
Michael Porter Jr. says Nets in good shape, admits he ‘took foot off gas’ post All-Star snub
The Brooklyn Nets plan last season was not some mystery. From Media Day back in September, it’s been about “playing the probabilities” and “flexibility.” Could you call it tanking? In response, Nets officialdom did everything but paraphrase the fictional prime minister in the British House of Cards TV series: “You might very well think that; […]
As big season approaches, Liberty’s value jumps but they lose race to billion dollar goal
You’ve heard it before. Back in early 2019, before they had assumed full control of the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center, Joe and Clara Wu Tsai decided after a plea from Adam Silver to rescue the New York Liberty and by extension, the whole WNBA. They bought the franchise at around $12 to $14 million, […]
Jordi Fernández and Michael Porter Jr. draw votes in latest player poll
NBA players aren’t sure how they feel about Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernández. Wednesday morning, The Athletic dropped a report detailing the results of its anonymous latest player poll. Before anything else, it asked who’s the most underrated player in the league. Jalen Johnson and Derrick White were the top vote-getters, but Michael Porter […]
Brooklyn Nets assistant coach a finalist for Pelicans top job
The Brooklyn Nets agreed to extensions with Jordi Fernández and his entire coaching less than three weeks ago. Opposing NBA teams are already looking to break them up. Tuesday morning, Sam Amick of The Athletic wrote a story pooling together everything he’s heard regarding the head coaching searches active around the league. In it, he […]
Joe Tsai, Alibaba leading big AI revolution in NBA
Back in October when the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns traveled to Macao for the NBA China Games, there was a lot of attention paid to the return of the league to China and, for Brooklyn fans, the debut of the Flatbush 5. Then, near the end of the celebrations, somewhat out of the spotlight, […]
Brooklyn Nets ‘Summer of Our Lives’ starts at combines next week
While everyone’s focused on the NBA Draft lottery Sunday, the actual players making that such an exciting event will get their first official evaluations as NBA prospects in the coming days as well. It’s all happening in Chicago starting Sunday. The NBA Draft combine will take place from May 10-17 at Wintrust Arena and the […]
The Brooklyn Podcast: Lottery & Liberty Eve with Lucas Kaplan
Is the tanking man a sucker? We’ll know in about a week. The NBA lottery is just a few days away, and we’re nervous as ever in Brooklyn. At the same time, a few ex-Nets are making noise in the NBA playoffs while the Liberty are gearing up for a title run of their own. […]
NY Liberty end preseason with win over the Connecticut Sun
The pre-season finale serves multiple purposes. You get another opportunity to evaluate players that are competing for roster spots. The coach gets to implement more of their schemes that they will carry into the regular season. And your main rotation get some valuable minutes against live competition before the season begins. The New York Liberty […]
NetsDaily Off-Season Report – No. 2
While fans in Philadelphia and New York prepare for what looks like a classic Eastern Conference playoff series this week, Brooklyn fans will be looking forward to next Sunday’s NBA Lottery in Chicago. Their third worst record gives them a 14.0% shot at the overall No. 1, a 52.1% shot at a top four pick […]
NY Liberty vs. Connecticut Sun preview: Pre-season finale
We’re back. The New York Liberty opened the preseason on April 25 against the Indiana Fever. They lost 109-91, but put some good tape together that they can build on. The opponent tonight is gearing up for a long season. The Connecticut Sun are embarking to Houston starting in 2027, but have to finish things […]
MPJ reveals initial skepticism re Nets trade but likes where he and team headed
It’s that time of year again. Michael Porter Jr. is on the podcast circuit with its usual misogyny, assorted hangers-on and certified weirdness that, sadly, we’ve become accustomed to. He’s been warned about it and we’ve commented on it. But as in the past, there’s usually some news amidst the detritus: After intially admitting to […]
Drake Powell season analysis in Brooklyn Nets Rookie Report — No. 10
The trade the Brooklyn Nets made to acquire the #22 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which they used to select Drake Powell, was a smart move. In addition to Powell, the Nets received Terance Mann in the deal, or more accurately, they relieved the Atlanta Hawks of his contract. Mann is owed roughly […]
DRAFT WATCH #3 – Changes coming, but in the meantime, Cam Boozer!!
To be frank, mock drafts don’t mean that much at this point. Teams have only started working out and interviewing players. Sure they’ve seen all the top picks multiple times, in some cases more than 10, but that’s just part of the process. After the workouts and interviews come meetings between the scouts who fill […]
Nets add California Classic to summer schedule
For the first time in years, the Brooklyn Nets will be doing double-duty in the summer, adding three games at the Sacramento-based California Classic in early July to their already scheduled minimum of five games at the Las Vegas Summer League. The announcement came via Tweet from the Nets official account. Brooklyn will play the […]
SCOREBOARD: Brooklyn Nets Social Media Round-Up: Where Nets?
The Brooklyn Nets made an early entry into the offseason. We knew it would be this way for several weeks, but it’s still a bit striking to see a bushel of teams duking it out on national television every night, and our guys cosplaying as Arthur Morgan or sitting court side with Ice Spice. Yes, […]
NetsDaily Off-Season Report – No. 1
It’s that time of year again for us: time to update things just as we’ve done for 19 straight seasons. We aren’t going to count them up, but this is around our 400th report through thick (mostly) and thin. Like many previous ones, it will be numbers-heavy. Deal with it. This year, off-course, is different. […]
