New Jersey Nets

Nets fill second year ‘rookie’ MarShon Brooks’ car with popcorn (Pictures)

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie rips Nets, tells them ‘good riddance’ (Video)

While many people believe the Nets move to Brooklyn next season is a smart decision, there are a few who believe it will backfire. Some say New York will always be a Knicks town, and playing in Brooklyn will result in the Nets being more overshadowed …

Nets tried to impress Dwight Howard with sign boasting about Jay-Z in front of Magic locker room

The blown up version of the Wall Street Journal you see above was positioned outside the visiting locker room in New Jersey on Wednesday night, before the Nets took on the Magic. Coincidence? I think not.

Nets cut ticket prices for Magic game to show Dwight Howard they have fans

It’s no secret the Nets stink (they’re 8-23). It’s also no secret they desperately want Dwight Howard. So with Howard and the Magic making their only trip to New Jersey this season on Wednesday, in what may as well be called …

Deron Williams Says There Aren’t Many Starters on the Nets Right Now

Spirits may have been high in New Jersey when the Nets began the year with a win over the Wizards, but reality quickly set in on Tuesday night when they were demolished by the Hawks.  Following the 106-70 loss, an understandably frustrated Deron …

Nets’ New Public Address Announcer David Diamante is One Strange Cat

David Diamante began announcing boxing matches 10 years ago.  Since then, he has done work for ESPN and HBO.  Well before that time, he stopped cutting his hair.  Diamante is set to become the next voice of the Nets when they move to Brooklyn, and to …

Deron Williams Says He’ll Re-sign with Nets if They Bring in Dwight Howard

Superstars in the NBA love to pair up.  Over the last several years, we have really had an opportunity to see that.  At the moment, we have no idea where guys like Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams are going to end up this year or next.  …

Nets Use Deron Williams Billboard to Promote Brooklyn Move

Let me start out by saying I’m all for the New Jersey Nets moving to Brooklyn.  Their new owner, Mikhail Prokhorov, certainly has tried to give fans the impression he means business and being right in New York should only improve the …

Avery Johnson Happy Nets Did Not Trade for Carmelo Anthony

Before ultimately being traded to the New York Knicks last month, media reports had Carmelo Anthony traded to New Jersey about a half dozen times. We had a report of a trade in September, January, and February, but Melo wound up with the Knicks, not …

Carmelo Anthony Nets Trade Includes Derrick Favors, Four First-Round Picks

Mikhail Prokhorov could be the world’s biggest Carmelo Anthony fan.  We all know the Nets need to make some sort of huge splash in order to become a contender, but is it worth wagering their entire future for one player?  Anthony may be one of …

Mikhail Prokhorov Is New Jersey Nets’ Good Luck Charm

The New Jersey Nets are one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference, checking in with a 12-31 record on the year. Team owner Mikhail Prokhorov recently went public to say the team was no longer focusing on acquiring Carmelo Anthony, feeling like …

Carmelo Anthony at the Center of 17-Player Trade Talks, Nets Going All in

The New Jersey Nets’ interest in working out a deal with the Denver Nuggets for superstar forward Carmelo Anthony is old news, but The New York Post is now reporting that the deal could include up to 17 players plus an undisclosed quantity of …

Jay-Z Not As Confident in Nets Future as Mikhail Prokhorov

Jay-Z and Mikhail Prokhorov both own a stake in the New Jersey Nets.  They share a title of owner, but they may not share a level of confidence in the team’s immediate future.  I say that because Jay-Z had some interesting comments about …

New Nets Owner Means Business

The 2009-2010 New Jersey Nets were easily one of the worst NBA teams of all time.  They finished the season a mere three losses away from matching the ’72-’73 Philadelphia 76ers for the worst season in NBA history, with a final record of …

Nets Attendance Barely Cracks 1,000

We used to pick on the Marlins for having three-digit attendance figures but at least they had a decent product on the field even if they didn’t have the fan base to match. The New Jersey Nets are a different story. Currently 4-48, the Nets are …

Jason Kidd Lashes Out Against Nets

Man, this dude just seems to be such a whiner these days. Once you’ve gotten your wish and moved on, I’d say it’s probably a good idea to just keep to yourself and not answer the questions about a previous team, or wait it out. Not …
