The Brooklyn Nets organization HAS to be looking at Grant Nelson seriously.
Now that he's 100% we're seeing how special he can be, and my God, that potential he has is ASTRONOMICAL. I'd even say it's big enough for a two-way deal.

The Ben Simmons sweepstakes are heating up, and he’s expected to make a decision on where he’ll be taking his talents within the next week, per @WindhorstESPN
“I’m told he’s probably going to make a choice in the next week. Kings, Suns, Knicks & Celtics have all been connected to him”

@NJTRANSIT first commute to the burbs and wow, what a rude awakening. Train car without AC in the heat of the summer. Not good! Room for improvement.
3.5 out of 10 stars.
The #Nets took on almost $17 million annually the day before the draft to pick up a first-rounder. Today they took on the same amount (over the next two years) to get the #Nuggets' 2032 first-rounder - when Nikola Jokic will be 37. They're now $17 million under the cap. #NBA
