@BrooklynNetcast It isn't being talked about because Drake probably had the least impressive season out of the five rookies the Nets had. DP has a ton of potential but he really didn't show very much in his rookie season. Hoping he improves significantly next season and finds his niche: POA?

The story of the Fever and Caitlin Clark is simple. She is more than a basketball player. She is an entertainer. People pay to see her like she’s the star of a Broadway show or it’s her concert. This means honesty and transparency are crucial, especially with attendance dropping.

@DalyDoseOfHoops Just followed Jason based on your endorsement, JD!

Proud of Jason, who does an excellent job covering St. John’s for The Torch.

This feels like a good time to remind you that Sean Marks made both Kenny Atkinson and Jarrett Allen disappear at the behest of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. That was five years (and about four Marks extensions) ago.

@fried_egg_golf It’s great…but the Hamptons, Long Island and NY is still the king of the hill.

@AdamSchupak Looks great on the telecast, too.

Philly is representing at PGA at Aronimink. Every day. Impressed so far with the turn out.

This is crazy. Garrick Higo gets a 2 shot penalty for being 1 minute late to the tee! Is this too much of a penalty? I say no. You got one job. You get there on time. Now, maybe they dole out some penalties for slow play while they are at it!

@ehornick Love it!

youtu.be/JHDQWDNKZns?fe…. Is the HBO Sports feed with Steve Albert and Bob Goldscholl. Oh btw #ItHappenedattheColiseum #Nets

And not a single pregame tribute or acknowledgement of this team all season. Kudos.

On this day 50 years ago: The Nets win the final ABA Championship 🏆 A thread down memory lane 🧵

As Nets fans, we thought merging into the NBA would be the promised land. Joke’s on us. Happy 50th anniversary to the great finale of the most fun league ever (John Sterling on the call on Nets radio)

Happy Birthday, George! Thanks for @abathrowbacks. Long live the ABA.

I have a controversial pivot for the Nets in the wake of these two back to back disappointing lotteries. My whole plan for now is maximizing future draft capital by any means necessary. To that end I’d do two things: 1. Trade Michael Porter Jr. 2. Take on Joel Embiid’s contract. The Nets have nothing but time now. Waiting out Embiid’s contract is no problem for them, their whole team is cheap and they’re not contending next year anyway short of some Hail Mary we don’t currently see. If he happens to give you some fun stretches? Cool. Bonus. Really, he’s the matching salary in my star trade(s) in two years once he’s expiring, and a path to extracting picks out of Philly now. I’m just trying to accumulate such a cartoonish amount of future draft capital that I can get outbid for whoever the guy is in 2028 or 2029 by absolutely nobody. I’m developing the young guys, seeing what I have, and trying to be semi-competitive. But the real play here is preparing to grab the next guy or guys who want to be in New York, and the best path to doing that is just shameless pick accumulation, even if it means taking on a contract that would destroy the books for most teams. I just find that a more productive use of my space than anything else immediately visible on the board.

@ScoopB They need to add more color and get back to their ABA look to change the narrative. (IF they dont fire the GM, they need a cosmetic upgrade from this boring black and white bs)

There is no way Sean Marks takes a guy like Acuff. He’s going to try and reinvent the wheel like he always does. Whether that’s Karim Lopez or somebody else.

Can’t blame anyone in the org for today but we can blame them for this. It’s not even like these guys are raw prospects who need to be coached. They all physically have no way out. (The one who has physical capabilities is an absolute burger). What a terrible day man

118 total losses for Brooklyn the past two seasons. Have not gotten a top-5 pick either year.

Rest In Peace, John. A great warm-hearted man. I’ll never forget him as voice of the Nets—he called their title-winning final ABA game—and of course, “Islander goal! Islander goal!”

John Sterling had an artistic flare behind the mic long before his days in the Yankees booth. Take a listen. Islander Goal! Islander goal! #Isles

It was important for Stearns to make a statement re Mendoza, but that's not the way to do it, telling 1 reporter. Stearns should have been in Anaheim to address media, be accountable. Over the years savvy GMs show up on the road when a team is going this badly, take the heat.
