As expected, Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson has come out with his in-depth analysis of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.

Unfortunately for Nets fans, Johnson’s immediate reaction isn’t going to sit well […]

The blockbuster trade that felt at times like pure absurdity, fan fiction, or trade machine overload has actually happened.

After the Nets parted with Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert, and a near decade’s […]

It’s NBA Trade Deadline Day, which means things could get hectic. Woj dropped a bombshell report on Thursday morning that Brooklyn Nets star James Harden is actually interested in a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, but he’s worried about the backlash that might come with a blockbuster. Well, Kevin Durant quickly reacted to the news […]

One of the more fluid situations in the entire NBA, the possible talks (or not talks) between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers have taken on a life of their own. The industry’s most credible reports have suggested there are not serious trade talks happening between the two teams. But when there’s this much smoke could […]

With the NBA Trade deadline just under 48 hours away, everyone is waiting with bated breath on any update. While the Brooklyn Nets will look to snap an eight-game losing streak–without any of their Big 3 of Kevin Durant (knee), Kyrie Irving (not vaccinated) or James Harden (hamstring tightness)–we got another update from the team’s […]

Just when you were waiting for more big trade news, we got an even more massive Brooklyn Nets update on the New York vaccine mandate front. By now you know the deal: Kyrie Irving is just a part-time player. He’s only eligible for another 10 home games the rest of the season. Between that harsh reality […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant and the Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James aren’t enjoying the seasons they expected coming into the season.

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has been a polarizing figure for a long time now, he’s certainly no stranger to being the focus of media attention.

The Brooklyn Nets are now on an eight-game losing streak and to make things worse, they are not only injured but also mired in controversy.

The Brooklyn Nets have not played the sort of basketball they expected this season, as they are presently the Eastern Conference’s seventh seed with a 29-24 record.

With Kevin Durant currently sidelined with injury, that’s meant a lot more free time for him to be on the interwebs. The Brooklyn Nets star has heard some recent chatter from Stephen A.

The Brooklyn Nets are on a six-game losing streak and that apparently has winds of change blowing. Would GM Sean Marks make a big shakeup to help support Kevin Durant for the team’s playoff run?

Since Kevin Durant is expected to be sidelined for the All-Star game because of his knee injury, Jayson Tatum wants the NBA to replace the Brooklyn Nets star with his Boston Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown.

The Nets have hit a six-game skid and just yesterday we were wondering if they’d dare to consider trading James Harden at this deadline. The most logical landing spot would be the Philadelphia 76ers, as Sixers president Daryl Morey seems to only have eyes for Harden. What he is offering is perhaps a blockbuster package […]

Stephen A. Smith had a rather spicy Kevin Durant take amid the Brooklyn Nets’ current losing streak. KD made sure to respond.

Trae Young had another monster performance on Thursday night as the Atlanta Hawks took down the Phoenix Suns, 124-115. Young exploded for a game-high 43 points and this most recent scoring outburst allowed him to enter LeBron James and Kevin Durant territory.

The Brooklyn Nets have had a tough week. Kevin Durant isn’t healthy enough to suit up yet as he continues to rehab from the sprained MCL he sustained last month. With Durant out, the Nets have hit a brutal six-game losing streak that has James Harden hinting at possible “internal” issues. With Kyrie Irving only […]

James Harden has been in the news a lot lately. The combination of some off the court distractions, plus a long road trip, playing the second night of a back-to-back set with a strained hand, appear to have all culminated in one rough road loss to a bad team. The Brooklyn Nets lost their sixth […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue their free fall in the standings. They’ve now lost six consecutive games and sit at 29-22.

Despite the  heroics of reigning NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, these people saw how close KD came to knocking off the Milwaukee Bucks despite injuries to James Harden and Kyrie Irving and felt the Texas […]

The Brooklyn Nets are led by a coach who has a historic resume. Steve Nash was a two time NBA MVP in both 2005 and 2006 and he was runner up to a former teammate of his Dirk Nowitzki for what would have been a third consecutive MVP award. It’s fitting then he’s presiding over […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had one heck of a ride. They first signed Kevin Durant back in 2019 knowing that the two-time NBA Finals MVP would miss a full season after under going major surgery on his Achilles. They knew that was worth a bit of patience. But upon trading the farm for James Harden […]

At their absolute best, the Golden State Warriors were virtually unbeatable during their two-year title run with Kevin Durant.
