The basketball side of the Nets’ business is projected to have lost $144 million over the 2013-14 season

That is just mind boggling. How do you present something like that during an executive business review?

I guess Jay-z and Prophorov created a blue print to lose sh!t load of money in 5 years.

Boogie being 1 assist away from a triple double is the only reason we are still in this.

Gentlemen. As you can see from the powerpoint, that breaks down to under $2.7 million a week over the course of the calendar year. I think the time is right for the popcorn price increase.

Three-way trade being discussed that would send Stephenson to Brooklyn, Jarrett Jack to Charlotte and Brook Lopez to OKC. The arms race continues out West, and OKC continues to tinker with the deeply-entrenched but delicate chemistry of their team.

What is OKC giving up?

dude1394 · 01-16-2015, 12:05 AM

Interesting about okc. They are not making the headway they expect. 4 games behind the 8th place team. And two teams between them and the eight.

Sounds like Perkins, Lamb, Morrow and possibly Grant Jerrett. Perkins would likely be a buyout candidate at that point.

I Cleve win over LA check out this LeBron quote...
"It's always fun, a pleasure," James said. "It's two of the best competitors this game has probably ever seen, and to be on the same floor with him, somebody I looked up to when I was a child growing up, seeing him go straight from high school to the NBA, it's fun, it's great. I hated him being out of the NBA last year because of injury, and it's fun having him back."

the problem I had was this statement was...""It's two of the best competitors this game has probably ever seen"

Maybe he should catch some clips of
Oscar, Bird, West, Jordan, Magic - and this list could go on for awhile
.
I know he is not saying "the two best competitors" but his continuos self-congratulatory ways rub me the wrong way.

and it could be another case of subtraction by addition...

ex. No way that newly acquired Dion Waiters should be taking more shots* than Durant and Westbrook...

In the loss last night to the Suckets...
Durant was 8 for 12
Westbrook ~ 6 of 13
Waiters ~ 6 of 16

I hope Brooks has an updated resume.

*Mavs - speaking of shot attempts Ellis has shot the ball 157 more times than Dirk this season.
Dirk 539 ; Ellis 696

LeBron is already better than four of those guys. TBH I think when all is said and done we'll all look back on his career and agree that LeBron is probably the best basketball player of all-time.

Looks like Charlotte is pulling out of the deal...

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-16-2015, 11:16 AM

Yeah that trade doesn't make much sense for the Nets, but never underestimate the terribleness of Billy King. Guess he finally wised up for once and got out of another terrible move.

He might be under the instruction to dump long-term salary to make it easier to sell the team.

Likely a non-story. Marv Albert was biting hookers in the ass, and that didn't really hurt his commentating career.

Lebron stans are the worst.

But seriously though, he'd have to have one hell of a run to be even discussed in the same breath as MJ.

Jesus. In the same breath?

I think Jordan is the best NBA player of all-time, but come on... this worship of him as a deity is ridiculous.

In principle, I agree. To be fair, though:

"I didn't think anyone was capable of doing what Michael has done to us...I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan." - Larry Bird

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-19-2015, 02:41 PM

Thought I'd give random honorable mention to the Wolves for getting Wiggins in the Love trade. He has really come on lately.

Thunder Wizards was nuts.

Bryan_Wilson · 01-21-2015, 11:49 PM

3.2 seconds? left and wiz let westbrook go from half court to rim for easy layup. Wall didn't even challenge ball, instead staying in corner on his man. Meanwhile harden has 16 points off like 3-11 shooting at half with 11 free throws. Would love if monta got those calls instead of the constant refs trolling him on small fouls against him on defense and no calls on offensive drives.

Melonhead · 01-22-2015, 12:19 AM

I hate the Rockets. Starting with Beverly. Smug bisch on the court. Then Ariza tries to get into it too with Curry. Love watching them lose.

Harden is tough going to the rim, but my god how laughable all the calls he gets. Shooting 4-13, but has 12-14 FT through 2.5 quarters.

And Smith just got tossed! Best Wednesday ever!

EricaLubarsky · 01-23-2015, 12:22 AM

Crowder didn't help muh but the Celtics decided to do is a favor and beat the Blazers.

We beat em Twice while Aldridge is gone and we could be climbing up to 2nd

spreedom · 01-24-2015, 09:58 AM

Klay Thompson had 37 points last night... in the third quarter.

13-13 from the field, including 9-9 from three and 2-2 from the FT line.

Jproxursoxoff · 01-24-2015, 12:15 PM

Why do I still not like Klay Thompson??
