Not hating just curious
According to his agency (Seros Partners) former Alabama and Arkansas forward Nick Pringle has signed with the Brooklyn Nets
Pringle played for the Boston Celtics during the Summer League. No details on the contract yet i guess it’s likely an exhibit 10 or two-Way deal, but nothing confirmed so far

Joe Tsai excerpt:
”Every year, some team is going to win a championship,” Tsai told us and indeed the Knicks became the eighth different team win a chip in the last eight years. “So it happens that this year that team is in the same city. It doesn’t make us feel very good. It irates our fan base and it is embarrassing but in business or in competition, in sports, or in anything, you shouldn’t let the embarrassment factor affect how you perform. [We] had a plan and we’re rebuilding and I think right now we are on a positive trajectory. So it doesn’t change my thinking at all.”
Sean Marks excerpt:
“I mean, we’re not, we’re not, we’re not going to be motivated or less motivated by what somebody else is doing,” Marks said. “I think we all we control is our path. I think we set out on this a couple of years ago, and I think I’m very happy with what the group has done, what Jordi (Fernandez), the coaching staff, have done to develop these young men, and it’s gonna be really exciting to see what they look like, and you know, whether it’s a year or two years from here, and who really seizes this opportunity?”

hello everyone its my first time at Barclays center and i got tickets for the nets at the section 222 row 15 and im worried if its too far and i wont be able to enjoy the game/recognize the players. any advice is welcome
Every time I see someone wearing anything Nets related (especially NJ Nets) I will give them some props. Need to band together!
Dr J had 19 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 4 blocks. Wouldn’t fit in the title.
I was thinking about how this trade looks now that the Nets have finished using their 2025 and 2026 first round picks that were received in this trade. Below is my attempt at breaking it down, please feel free to note if anything is incorrect:
Nets Received:
Rights to their 2025 first round pick (ended up 8th picking Egor Demin)
Rights to least favorable of Suns/Rockets 2025 first round pick (ended up 28th, Nets drafted Danny Wolf)
Rights to their 2026 first round pick: (ended up 6th, drafted Mikel Brown)
Least favorable of 2029 FRP between Houston, Dallas, and Phoenix
Nets gave up:
Phoenix's 2025 first round pick (ended up 10th, Houston traded away)
Phoenix's 2027 first round pick (TBD)
2 most favorable 2029 FRPs between Houston, Dallas, and Phoenix
Trying to simplify it, the Demin pick at 8 and the 10th pick in 2025 cancel out IMO since the Nets would have likely been able to draft Demin 2 spots later. And if we assume that Houston will be a better team than Phoenix and Dallas in 2029 and therefore have the less favorable pick, the trade currently ends up as:
Nets get:
Danny Wolf, Mikel Brown, and Houston's 2029 first round pick
Nets traded away:
Phoenix's 2027 and 2029 first round picks, and Dallas' 2029 first round pick
It is bad that the Nets didn't get more value of out of the 2025 exchange of picks, but it could be possible that Mike Brown ends up being worth the picks they traded away, especially if Phoenix and Dallas are at least average teams. And I guess we can only hope for the best with Danny Wolf.
Was curious what other people thought of the trade as it stands now.
I'm going with the white Basquiats.
We could've made the Julius and Claxton deals separate and generated a TPE for Claxton's contract, right? We combined the 2 trades so we could use cap space first....but then we didn't use cap space...So why didn't Sean Marks just separate the moves (and even compensate the Bulls with cash or a 2nd rounder for their flexibility)?
Having a $23M TPE would be such an asset for us this year wouldn't it?
Another example of Marks fucking up around the margins.
So well deserved for someone who’s given so much to the game and to the Nets family!

Hey guys!
I just got into PA school and I was wearing my Mikel Brown Jr Jersey when I got the good news. It is now my lucky jersey. I am so happy and so grateful for this opportunity. All the hard work I put into this has finally paid off. I cannot wait until I can watch nets basketball with all this weight off my shoulders. Nets Nation, tonight we feast.
