Latest news and updates about the Nets
First it was the Basketball Hall of Fame in August 2024. Then it was his jersey retirement in Brooklyn in January 2025. Now, Vince Carter will be honored once again by the Brooklyn Nets. On Sunday, VC will be the Nets representative on the dias for the NBA Lottery, hoping the same luck that sustained […]
The Brooklyn Nets plan last season was not some mystery. From Media Day back in September, it’s been about “playing the probabilities” and “flexibility.” Could you call it tanking? In response, Nets officialdom did everything but paraphrase the fictional prime minister in the British House of Cards TV series: “You might very well think that; […]
On Thursday, the Charlotte Hornets announced that they had inked head coach Charles Lee to a contract extension. General manager Jeff Peterson’s comments, from the linked press release: “Charles has done an outstanding job establishing a foundation for who we want to be as a team,” said Peterson. “From day one, Charles and his staff […] The post Hornets sign head coach Charles Lee to contract extension first appeared on At The Hive .
Kind of out of nowhere, but the Charlotte Hornets announced that wing Brandon Miller will be out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to improve his shoulder stability. The team did not elaborate what exactly “shoulder instability” entailed. My Internet research says it usually involves some sort of cleanup or repairs to the labrum, but other ligaments […] The post Brandon Miller out indefinitely after shoulder surgery first appeared on At The Hive .
The Miami Heat may have won six more games than they did in 2024-25, but it still resulted in a play-in appearance for the fourth-straight year. This time, however, the Miami Heat lost to the Charlotte Hornets, snapping the Heat’s streak of six-straight postseason appearances. Entering a critical summer, Miami must reevaluate its whole roster […] The post Who were the Heat’s most disappointing players this season? appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Brooklyn Nets agreed to extensions with Jordi Fernández and his entire coaching less than three weeks ago. Opposing NBA teams are already looking to break them up. Tuesday morning, Sam Amick of The Athletic wrote a story pooling together everything he’s heard regarding the head coaching searches active around the league. In it, he […]
The Charlotte Hornets have a prime opportunity to ascend into contention. With the 76ers taking out the Celtics, and the Pistons narrowly escaping the 8 seed Magic, it’s clear that the Eastern Conference is open for new competition. The Hornets bowed out in disappointing fashion against the Magic in the play-in, but prior to that, […] The post Five potential trade targets for the Charlotte Hornets first appeared on At The Hive .
While everyone’s focused on the NBA Draft lottery Sunday, the actual players making that such an exciting event will get their first official evaluations as NBA prospects in the coming days as well. It’s all happening in Chicago starting Sunday. The NBA Draft combine will take place from May 10-17 at Wintrust Arena and the […]
The Milwaukee Bucks will play three games in the four-team California Classic Summer League, the NBA announced last Wednesday. The Bucks will face the Golden State Warriors on July 4, the Brooklyn Nets on July 5, and the Sacramento Kings on July 6 in the Golden 1 Center. This is Milwaukee’s first year participating in […]
Is the tanking man a sucker? We’ll know in about a week. The NBA lottery is just a few days away, and we’re nervous as ever in Brooklyn. At the same time, a few ex-Nets are making noise in the NBA playoffs while the Liberty are gearing up for a title run of their own. […]
While fans in Philadelphia and New York prepare for what looks like a classic Eastern Conference playoff series this week, Brooklyn fans will be looking forward to next Sunday’s NBA Lottery in Chicago. Their third worst record gives them a 14.0% shot at the overall No. 1, a 52.1% shot at a top four pick […]
It’s that time of year again. Michael Porter Jr. is on the podcast circuit with its usual misogyny, assorted hangers-on and certified weirdness that, sadly, we’ve become accustomed to. He’s been warned about it and we’ve commented on it. But as in the past, there’s usually some news amidst the detritus: After intially admitting to […]
The trade the Brooklyn Nets made to acquire the #22 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which they used to select Drake Powell, was a smart move. In addition to Powell, the Nets received Terance Mann in the deal, or more accurately, they relieved the Atlanta Hawks of his contract. Mann is owed roughly […]
The Charlotte Hornets are in the early days of probably their most important offseasons in recent history. They’ve finally shown some signs of life, so now we get to see general manager Jeff Peterson take on a new challenge. We’ve seen that he’s very adept at acquiring assets. In the process, the team took a […] The post Charlotte Hornets offseason preview first appeared on At The Hive .
The Brooklyn Nets made an early entry into the offseason. We knew it would be this way for several weeks, but it’s still a bit striking to see a bushel of teams duking it out on national television every night, and our guys cosplaying as Arthur Morgan or sitting court side with Ice Spice. Yes, […]
The NBA has started their news trickle of end-of-season awards. They announced the Rookie of the Year award winner on Monday, and it was not Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel. It’s disappointing. Kon Knueppel should’ve won the award. Flagg has better counting stats, but he did that as option A, B, and C on a […] The post Kon Knueppel is not rookie of the year first appeared on At The Hive .
It’s that time of year again for us: time to update things just as we’ve done for 19 straight seasons. We aren’t going to count them up, but this is around our 400th report through thick (mostly) and thin. Like many previous ones, it will be numbers-heavy. Deal with it. This year, off-course, is different. […]
Barclays Center is going to look different next season, starting from the moment you walk in the door. Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment this week offered new details on the continuing renovation of Barclays Center, a $150 million project that began two years ago with the creation of two new clubs, the Toki Row and Jet […]
In June 2024, the Nets traded Mikal Bridges for five firsts, four unprotected,, a first swap etc. He was supposed to be key piece for the Knicks in a championship run. He scored 0 points in a big post-season loss Thursday night. His team is now down 2-1 in the East. In June 2025, the […]
Shout-out Mike Brown for losing Game 3 by one point, going four-against-five for the whole first half. Shout-out Mikal Bridges, for helping folks forget about him and teaching the world that basketball was meant to be a four-player sport. Here’s the latest from the ATL. Mike Brown On the Game 3 loss and the series […]
Isaiah Evans has made his decision about next year and will be entering the 2026 NBA Draft. It’s not clear yet though whether he’s 100% committed to the draft. Currently, NBADraft.net has him pegged as a #14 pick to the Charlotte Hornets. For a kid from North Carolina, that’s pretty awesome, but the draft picks […]
Sean Marks may have been the GM of the Brooklyn Nets for a decade, but his roots lie elsewhere. The native of Auckland, New Zealand, is part of the first generation of international NBA players, as he said among the first 40 or 50. He became the first player from his home country to play […]
Game two’s loss on Monday night was a messy amalgamation of inexplicable coaching decisions, selfish play, bad and bad shot-making from both the three-point line and the free-throw line, and it led to one of the most frustrating losses of the season. So what are the biggest takeaways from a loss that I’m sure everybody […]
As the Miami Heat’s forgetful 2025-26 campaign is officially over, there was still a sour taste left in the end. Of course, Miami fell short to the Charlotte Hornets in the 9-10 play-in matchup in an overtime thriller. However, it’s only fair to assume if there would still be Heat basketball being played had their […] The post Bam Adebayo reveals that LaMelo Ball didn’t apologize about tripping incident appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
While the big draft pick shuffle is still almost three weeks away, the NBA did a little bit of housekeeping with the order of the picks. There aren’t any special tiebreakers to set the draft order of teams that finish with the same record. Instead, the league simply does a drawing for each of the […] The post The Charlotte Hornets’ pre-lottery draft spots are set first appeared on At The Hive .
