Red Holzman's 613 wins banner displayed at MSG (left)
The Nets are long overdue to raise a banner for Kevin Loughery's (right) 615 total wins in 8 seasons as the Nets coach, (5 in the ABA, 3 in the NBA)!
Oh, yeah... and two ABA titles!

Trading talent for late first round picks should be dead in Brooklyn.
Expectation persists that Brooklyn might indeed decide to shop veterans such as Michael Porter Jr. between now and the trade deadline to see if it can capitalize on the anticipated lack of true sellers in the marketplace, per @JakeLFischer

Solving the #WFAN problem in one fell swoop.
Think about this.
Keep the morning program.
Put someone such as Scott Wetzel midays.
Then add a rejuvenated Mike Francesa, Chris Russo, and #DINOCOSTA - all with separate shows.
Think people would listen?

Cause nobody cares about the nets, and nets like it that way. They are a big market team with the media following of a small d3 college in Arkansas. The one time they did have aggressive media scary hours they freaked out cause they couldn’t handle bad press.

Nets were so quick to cut bait with generational players like Harden, KD, Kyrie but they draw the line at Noah Clowney

2-7. Nets should feel a level of desperation. They've dropped 118 games in the prior two years, and Houston is holding their pick.
Rebuilding is one thing, compounding it with avoidable self-inflicted wounds is another. Young team and a long season, but you play to win the game

Mike Breen: "Julius Randle…5 years with Knicks, 3 All-Star teams, twice All-NBA, 2021 averaged 24-10-6 and 41% from 3…one of the great individual lines in Knicks history…He deserves credit for helping start the turnaround…Randle started the Knicks back on the success route"

The big-picture implications of Mikel Brown Jr.’s performance were far more encouraging than the pain of another moral victory. At least I’d say.
