Revisionist History in Philly for King
Ron Burke of Comcast Sports Net writes Saturday about how the 76ers' success this season has a lot to do with Billy King's vision. When King was unceremoniously dumped in 2007 after eight years as GM, he was reviled for some of his free agent signings (Kenny Thomas and Samuel Dalembert) and trades...
Nets May Get Brooks Back Friday, Expect Lopez After Break
The Nets had previously said that MarShon Brooks' broken toe would keep him out through this weekend's games against the Pistons and Spurs. But on Friday morning, the team said that Brooks is a game-time decision for Friday night's game in Detroit, possibly giving the Nets 10 healthy bodies, a...
Broussard: Nets Still a "Promising Situation" for Howard, Williams
The scene in Orlando is increasingly ugly. The Magic keep finding new ways to lose. Dwight Howard calls out his teammates for their lack of effort. The GM claims Howard threw Jameer Nelson "under the bus" by comparing him unfavorably with other point guards. Fans boo the team off the court at the...
A Look at Nets Trade Assets
The Nets are going to be active at the March 15 deadline if not before and whether they get Dwight Howard or not. At that point, all manner of possibilities will start to kick in. If the Nets get Howard, the trade that lands him is likely to be a multi-team deal with pieces drawn from the Nets'...
Billy King: Send Me Andre Iguodala; Don't Need Dwight to Keep Deron
In interviews on Philadelphia radio and TV, Billy King talked about a player he drafted back in 2004, Andre Iguodala, and one he wants to keep in 2013, Deron Williams. "Andre’s a player that every good team would want, because he defends, he handles the ball. If they don’t want him,...
Game 19 - Nets @76ers - Wednesday, January 25, 7:00 p.m.
Sometimes, it's best that you do nothing. That seems to be one lesson from the 76ers' strong start. Rod Thorn did little over the off-season other than draft Nikola Vucevic and dump Marreese Speights, giving his team both stability and solid chemistry when games finally began. The result is the...
Q. and A.'s From King, Owens, Etc.
The Nets Ben Couch has posted transcripts of several recent question and answer sessions with the beat writers, including those of Billy King and new Net Larry Owens on Wednesday as well as others from Avery Johnson and Brook Lopez. One particularly interesting exchange between King and the writers...
Led By Their Backcourt, Nets Finally Win At Home
With ball movement the best it's been all season, the Nets won their first home game Wednesday, led by Marshon Brooks' career high and double doubles from Deron Williams and Kris Humphries. The game went back and forth for three quarters before the Nets, fueled by their backcourt, broke it open in...
Why Did MarShon Brooks Fall?
MarShon Brooks is among the top rookies in virtually every statistical category. He's second in scoring at 14.5 ppg; second in field goal percentage at 46.2%; third in player efficiency at 12.36; fourth in points/assists/rebounds at 19.5; and sixth in three point shooting (and way ahead of Jimmer...
As Nets Wallow in Jersey Limbo, Only Prokhorov Looks Certain
It's not been a good New Year for the Nets, not with a six-game losing streak, lingering injuries to a third of the roster and Deron Williams' frustration mounting with each loss, each bad game. One thing Harvey Araton did get in his look at the Nets in transition (not fast break, transition) is...
