Brooklyn Nets News

so how do you like your steak cooked? 🥩

Good for him, good for Nets but I can’t see a need for another 2nd rounder - they have NINETEEN- and if all Nets get is a pick, they’d fall under salary floor without some other move. Younger player in return.

Michael Porter Jr. #17 – Year 7

Asked Jordi Fernandez if Egor Demin will play extended stretches alongside Ben Saraf or Nolan Traore this season: "They're all going to fight for some of the same minutes. They're all going to fight for some of the wing minutes. But right now, for sure, the starting point guard and backup point guard [spots], those three are fighting for those minutes, and that's great, because we're going to see a lot of the young talent we've drafted playing real NBA minutes."

Egor Demin is the #Nets' first lottery pick in 15 years. He has been sidelined with a plantar fascia tear, but got cleared for 5-on-5 full contact while they were in Macao, and now will "play some minutes" on Friday in Toronto. #NBA #Raptors

The latest ⁦@Sportico⁩ ranking of most valuable #NBA teams is out, with the #Warriors leading the way at a staggering $11.33 billion. The #Knicks came in third at $9.85 billion, and the #Nets sixth at $6.22. The average value has shot up 113% in just three years. #nyk #gsw

Cam Thomas #24 – Year 5

Nets at 28. Only Wizards and Jazz behind them

EXCLUSIVE: Nets are “pausing” for this season the BK Block, a dedicated fan section that hosted the Brooklyn Brigade the last seven seasons. Brigade will continue but not the section. Team officials and fans will participate in the “revamp to rebuild the program,” say Nets.

Just for bookkeeping purposes, newly-signed Grant Nelson is on an Exhibit 10 deal. That means the #Nets have 19 players - 17 on standard contracts and 2 two-ways. Barring an expected trade, they need to waive two players on standard deals and can still add one more two-way. #nba

“After retiring in 2023, Hines said he planned to take a year off before unexpectedly receiving a call from Brooklyn’s front office. ‘They invited me to join them at Summer League as a guest coach,’” Hines called in Drake Powell’s name on Draft Night. Was Hines Powell’s champion?

Deal immediately raises G League salary to $45,000. Exhibit 10 players waived by NBA clubs get bonuses (after 60 days) of $85,300 as well. So someone like Grant Nelson or Fanbo Zeng will wind up making $130,300 this year. Zeng could make $1 to $3M in China should he return.

No. Previous signing/waiver deals were about reaching cap floor. They were standard deals with small guarantees. Nets added $355,900 to cap. All of them were already on LI roster. Nelson is an Exhibit 10. He’ll travel to Toronto Friday but next stop will be Uniondale, Long Island

1️⃣ week until the szn opener

Grant Nelson is on an Exhibit 10 deal and likely will accompany team to Toronto for Raptors game Friday. After that, he’s probably headed to Long Island which building an interesting roster, particularly if Fanbo Zeng chooses to stay in US.

Interestingly, in announcing Fanbo Zeng’s waiver on Weibo, the big Chinese site, Nets suggested Zeng may still be recovering from a back injury. “We’re fortunate to have been able to accompany him back on the court after his injury. We wish him all the best in his recovery.”

Nelson an athletic 6’11” 23-year-old was tagged by the Nets as a possible Exhibit 10 but when his name didn’t appear on their 21-man roster, his agent said he anticipated Nelson would sign at a later point in preseason. He had an opportunity to be taken in 2nd round but declined

The #Nets signed forward Grant Nelson.

Zeng now has a choice. He can return to China where he can make seven figures in the CBA or play for Long Island with total compensation including bonuses of a little more than $100K. He’s said he hopes to use the Nets opportunity to reignite his NBA career.

OFFICIAL: The Brooklyn Nets have waived forward Zeng Fanbo. His G League rights automatically transfer to Long Island and third two-way remains open.

#Nets fans, I'm recording another Fan-Take Friday edition of @LockedOnNets this week. This will be the last mailbag episode before the regular-season opener. Reply here, DM, or email address in bio with any questions or takes you have about the team and I’ll respond on the show.

Those numbers are not public but how about this: Liberty averaged 16,400 fans per game last season. Of winter sports in New York, that was behind (but not that far behind) Knicks, Nets and Rangers but ahead of Islanders and Devils numbers

Nets had faith in their medical staff based in part on LeVert experience. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out. Medical things. Reason you have all this video to obsess over is because Marks takes questions.

good time hangin’ with VC in Macao
