The most comprehensive source for news about the Brooklyn Nets.
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 […]
The second game of a mini-series is always different from the first one. When teams see each other the second time, they’re able to incorporate adjustments from the first meeting and take it into the rematch. Especially early in the season, these kind of games serve as litmus tests for what you’re trying to accomplish […]
Done at the buzzer. It was a back-and-forth affair on Tuesday night as the New York Liberty and Portland Fire went shot for shot. Unfortunately for New York, a fortuitous bounce went the Fire’s way and Sarah Ashlee Barker cashed in a last second layup to beat NY. Where to follow the game My9 on […]
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 […]
The New York Liberty may have been missing nearly half their rotation on Opening Night, but the Connecticut Sun stink, Stewie dominated, and the game wasn’t close. The Washington Mystics provided a much tougher test as a young but well-coached team with more talent, and the Libs needed overtime to pull that one out. Then […]
The basketball community has suffered another loss. On May 12, it was announced that former Brooklyn Nets center and NBA Cares Ambassador Jason Collins passed away at the age of 47. Last September, Jason revealed that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma, a tumor of the brain. Following the announcement of his passing, […]
It took some extra time, but a win nonetheless. The New York Liberty began their three game road trip against the Washington Mystics on Sunday afternoon. It was close throughout and went into overtime, but the Liberty were able to do just enough to hold on and come away with a 98-93 win. The opponent […]
We’re not going to dwell on Sunday! (much more) What’s done is done! (no, it isn’t, not really) Time to move on! (can I have a moment to cry again please before we do that??) Yes, the Brooklyn Nets who had a 14.0% chance at the overall No. 1 and a 52.1% shot at a […]
Well, that was tough. From disappointed to deflated to defeated to downright embarrassing, at least in terms of immediate fan reaction, the 2026 Draft Lottery is right up there with some of the worst days in recent Nets history … and there’s been some doozies. The effect remains to be seen, but whoosh, that was […]
Not sure if you heard, but the Brooklyn Nets fell to the sixth overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. If you want to hear the longest F-bomb in the history of Locked on Nets, hosted by Erik Slater, here’s Sunday’s episode, where Slater and I talked and groaned through the latest Brooklyn Nets disappointment… […]
Fortunately, at least one Brooklyn basketball team we know came out on top against Washington today. Following their excellent home win against the Connecticut Sun to kick off the WNBA season, the New York Liberty hit the road to begin a three game road trip. Their first outing was against a game Washington Mystics team […]
The Brooklyn Nets will be picking sixth in the 2026 NBA Draft, following the results of the NBA Draft Lottery on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Whammy’s valiant efforts to butter up Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum before the drawing were not fruitful… After posting the NBA’s third-worst record this season, this was a poor outcome for Brooklyn. […]
Finn Wentworth isn’t a well-known Nets executive. He was franchise president back in 2000 and was chosen by the team to witness the draft that year in a back room at the NBA TV headquarters in Secaucus, N.J. where the ping pong balls were drawn. The New Jersey Nets had a 4.4% chance in the […]
It’s the biggest day of the year for the Brooklyn Nets and it all comes down to luck — a 52.1% chance at a top-4 pick and a 14% chance at the No. 1 overall pick. If you’ve followed the organization long enough, luck is not something Nets fans are accustomed to. They really need […]
Off to a roaring start. The New York Liberty kicked off the WNBA season with a dominant, 106-75 win against the Connecticut Sun on Friday night. New York left Barclays Center on a high and will be out of the town for the week before coming home to start a seven game homestand. The opponent […]
There’s a stack of notebooks that are never too far from hand. They hold within them every single action a wiry high school sophomore has taken since he decided to leave behind his home state of New Jersey to transfer to a Lutheran school an hour and a half away in Long Island. “His work […]
It’s been quite the Spring for Brooklyn Nets assistant coach Steve Hetzel. In early April, Fred Katz and Eric Nehm of The Athletic mentioned him in a story meant to highlight the top candidates to be first-time NBA head coaches this offseason. Earlier this week, Sam Amick, also of The Athletic, reported that Hetzel is a finalist […]
It’s finally here, the big day. The NBA Lottery takes place Sunday. Is it the biggest day for the Nets franchise history since the move to Brooklyn? Hardly. That would be “Clean Sweep” back in June 2019 when the Nets signed Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan. (Less said about what happened next the […]
This is not how the New York Liberty wanted to start to the season. Sabrina Ionescu is out two weeks with an ankle injury, Satou Sabally, a stunning free-agent addition, did not appear in either of New York’s preseason games. Rebecca Allen ain’t ready to play either. Leonie Fiebich and Raquel Carrera likely won’t arrive […]
The WNBA is back and the New York Liberty are hoping to make it back to the WNBA Finals. When we last saw the seafoam, they were in the midst of a frustrating and ultimately disappointing playoff exit at the hands of the Phoenix Mercury. With a retooled roster and plenty of other changes, they’re […]
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 […]
