In a few years from now, this may all be just a cloudy memory. Down the road, the Nets could very well be playing in front of a packed house with an enthusiastic Brooklyn crowd wearing number 23 jerseys. But then again they could be stuck in the same swamp they are now without any [...]

According to the article, it’s a first in the league.

I shared my thoughts on this last month, but it feels great to see a good beat writer like The Record’s Al Iannazzone share his voice on the Nets new promotion this season.
Check it out:
“People will come to see LeBron, Kobe and Wade regardless, but you’re inviting fans of the opposing team to openly cheer [...]

In an interesting piece by The Record staff writer Al Iannazzone, newly traded Vince Carter sees big things from Devin Harris in the future.
“It’s an opportunity, it’s just who wants it,” Carter said Wednesday at his annual basketball camp inside the Nets’ practice facility. “Devin can do it. He has seen it done and he’s [...]

According to Marc Spears from Yahoo Sports, the Nets have some interest in Celtics forward-center Glen Davis.
With Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson gone, the team has some holes to plug, but Davis, may not be the answer. The team already has Brook Lopez, Josh Boone, Tony Battie, Sean Williams and Yi Jianlian who can play [...]
