The Nets, it would seem, are more than like to take one of two lead guards on the night of June 23 at Barclays Center, either Mikel Brown Jr. or Darius Acuff. The are the most mentioned candidates for the No. 6 pick by draftniks and assorted pundits. And indeed, both are worthy of such […]
Welcome to our annual Lakers season in review series, where we’ll look back at each player on the team’s roster this season and evaluate if they should be part of the future of the franchise. Today, we continue our series with a look at Nick Smith Jr. Back in September, when the Hornets waived Nick Smith Jr. […]
The consensus among pundits is that this year’s free agent class is not the best, putting aside the mystery of where LeBron James suits up. That said, the Nets have more than enough cap space to make significant offers for whoever is out there plus draft assets that could be put to use in sign-and-trades. […]
This Spring, we went from hearing from Jordi Fernández nearly every day, to not hearing from him at all. The coach hasn’t been “ghosting” us. There wasn’t break-up between he and the Nets. In fact, they seem to be more committed to each other than ever. The season just ended, and so did our chance […]
Last Friday, we took a deep dive into the profile of Yaxel Lendeborg, a soon-to-be 24 year old hybrid forward out of Michigan who many believe to be the most NBA ready player projected to go in the top 20. On the other end of the spectrum is Karim Lopez, a hybrid forward born in […]

As Brooklyn Nets fans wait to see just how much general manager Sean Marks plans to shake the soda can this offseason, it’s worth taking a closer look at the team’s own free-agent outlook before Brooklyn starts hunting in the market and bolstering the roster through the draft. The Nets’ internal free-agent decisions will come […]
After a solid start, the NBA playoffs have taken a turn for the worst for Brooklyn Nets fans when it comes to a hate-watching perspective. The New York Knicks, yes, those New York Knicks are on their way to the NBA Finals. While whoever comes out of the West will surely be favored over New […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t trade for a one-year rental. All indicators point towards James Harden returning to the team this summer after opting out to restructure his deal. “Yes. 100%,” said Harden on whether he wants to be back in Cleveland. “Definitely want to be here. I think we found something. It’s tough not ending […]
The NBA Finals begin Wednesday in either San Antonio or Oklahoma City, then return to New York for the first time since 1999 the Monday after that. It will be a raucous time in the city, with celebrities jockeying for air time and masters of the universe sucking up any ticket at any price. In […]
So the Knicks are one win away from their first NBA Finals in 27 years. They’ve also matched the Nets mark of 10 straight post-season wins, set in 2003. Good for them. Moving on. We are in a bit of a news lull right now, between the Lottery and the Draft, to be followed by […]
The NBA Draft is still a month away and the Brooklyn Nets participating in two — count ’em — two summer leagues a week after that, it’s easy to forget that NBA free agency is sandwiched in between them. Last year, the Nets had nearly $60 million in cap space, most in the league, Sean […]
Just minutes before Game Three of the Western Conference Finals, the NBA announced the All-Defensive teams for the 2025-26 season. The first team was highlighted by obvious choices Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, and Ausar Thompson, and was rounded out by Chet Holmgren and Derrick White. The second team, of which Anunoby was named a member, […]
Andy Ruiz spent some time talking about this weekend’s big event in front of the Egyptian pyramids and says he’s hoping to find himself in some big fights soon, as he feels left out of the gravy train provided by Turki Alalshikh. “I would love to fight Usyk,” Ruiz said. “We even had talks, we […]
Yaxel Lendeborg has been a frequent mock target for the Charlotte Hornets, particularly if he falls past the Thunder at the 12th overall pick. The Michigan standout is coming off a national championship winning season that also saw him win Big Ten Player of the Year. He’s a versatile forward that fits what’s arguably the […]

In some of the least surprising news of the offseason, Charlotte Hornets wing Kon Knueppel made the NBA’s All Rookie first team. Knueppel undeservedly lost out on Rookie of the Year honors to his former college teammate Cooper Flagg. He seemingly lost his grip on the award with some quiet performances in the final couple […]

First things first: The Nets are not talking about Draft strategy. They are notorious in that regard. Unlike other teams, they don’t announce who they have in for workouts and interviews. They even frown upon agents who reveal which clients have traveled to HSS Training Center. (Last year’s SCOUT series on the Draft was remarkable […]
It’s that time of year. The draft order is set. The NBA Combine is complete. Now we get to spend the next month analyzing and misjudging a bunch of prospects that will ultimately end up landing on other teams. But it’s fun, and this might be the start of my favorite time of the year. […]

The New Orleans Pelicans hiring team did its best Reggie Evans impersonation this week, scooping up Jamahl Mosley in a ferocious flash. The Orlando Magic fired him as their head coach on May 4, and the Pels signed him as their own two weeks later. However, the summer’s head coaching candidate that Brooklyn Nets fans […]
TIMBER! The Brooklyn Nets fell back in the NBA draft lottery AGAIN last week, leaving them at pick number six. However, with the draft almost a month away, there’s no time to sulk. The Nets can still get a homegrown star, and Corey Tulaba of No Ceilings is here to point out who that player […]
Things are bad, objectively bad. The Nets have lost 118 games in two years, having missed the post-season three straight seasons. There’s not an All-Star, past or current, on the roster. No matter what you believe, their decision to draft five rookies in the first round continues to be excoriated. Going back further, they haven’t […]
Last year was the year the Brooklyn Nets were supposed to pick a red rose from the garden in their backyard. With Dylan Harper tearing it up at Rutgers and Brooklyn simultaneously beginning its tank run, both parties seemed destined to align on Draft Night. Even his teammate, Ace Bailey, seemed like a storybook prospect […]
The NBA Combine is over. Agents’ pro days too. Chicago is in the past. Next come workouts and interviews which are likely underway. The process has a long way to go with the 2026 NBA Draft still five weeks away at the end of June. In meantime, all we have is mock drafts which at […]
In a series of moves the last few days, the Brooklyn Nets gained a new assistant general manager and lost their head scout. The moves are typical of this time of year and don’t seem to be related. The Nets promoted Makar Gevorkian, their capologist the last several years, to assistant GM joining long-time front […]
Mikhail Prokhorov famously said that his Nets would “turn Knicks fans into Nets fans.” The Nets owner, a confirmed bachelor, also promised that if the Nets didn’t win a title in five years, he’d get married. Spoiler alert: None of those things happened. So Sam Zussman, now president of Nets parent Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment […]
Putting together any pre-draft content that doesn’t drag on about the latest bone-shattering shot Brooklyn took on Saturday will be quite difficult for us here at NetsDaily. Like legendary Scott Sterling, we’ll be up to the challenge, but it’s not going to feel good. Yes, the Nets will be picking sixth overall in this year’s […]
