As Damian Lillard decides between the Portland Trail Blazers and free agency, a few front runners have emerged on the star’s list of potential destinations. He still hasn’t decided to leave his longtime team, but the possibility of his departure is more likely now than ever before. In an interview on Showtime’s The Last Stand with Brian Custer, Lillard named two teams that he would be especially interested in pursuing in free agency. “Miami obviously,” Lillard said. “Miami is the obvious one. Bam [Adebayo] is my dog. Bam is my dog for real. But I mean I think Miami is the obvious one. Brooklyn...

In the blink of an eye in 2020, the Phoenix Suns seemingly went from a Western Conference bottom feeder to a bona fide contender at the highest level of the NBA. When Chris Paul joined a team that already had budding stars Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton on the roster, Phoenix became a force overnight. But in two straight postseasons, the team has fallen just short of the summit. In 2021, the Suns’ magical run through the Western Conference was finally stopped by Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, who handled them in a six-game Finals series. The following season, the team’s run end...

It wasn’t unexpected. In his first game in the Wells Fargo Center since the 2020-21 season, Ben Simmons was vigorously booed by 76ers fans at every stage of the team’s game against the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday. “I thought it was going to be louder,” Simmons said after the game. Between his disappointing performance in the 2021 Playoffs and refusing to compete with the team the following season, Simmons became a villainous figure in Philadelphia long before the Sixers traded him to Brooklyn in February. Once a part of “The Process,” the team’s plan for returning to championship contender status, h...

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has taken significant steps toward getting his suspension lifted and could return to the team as soon as Sunday. Irving has met with Nets management, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Jewish leaders in an attempt to earn forgiveness for promoting a film featuring antisemitic themes. “Kyrie is continuing his journey of dialogue and education,” NBPA executive director Tamika Tremaglio told ESPN Wednesday night. “He has been grappling with the full weight of the impact of his voice and actions, particularly in the Jewish community. Kyrie rejects Antisemitism in any ...

Following his team-issued suspension Thursday, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving issued an apology for promoting an antisemitic film on social media. Nets General Manager Sean Marks said Friday that he expects more, however, and will require Irving to meet with Jewish leaders and the team before he can step back on the floor. The most recent controversy surrounding Irving first began last week, when the Nets guard praised “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” a film with antisemitic themes and messages. In subsequent interviews and press conferences, Irving repeatedly evaded questions abo...

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to part ways with Steve Nash after a disappointing start to the season. While there is no decision made yet on who will replace, the organization said it plans on making one in the “near future.” “Since becoming head coach, Steve was faced with a number of unprecedented challenges, and we are sincerely grateful for his leadership, patience and humility throughout his tenure,” Nets general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. “Personally, this was an immensely difficult decision; however, after much deliberation and evaluation of how the season has begun, we agr...

Problems off the court continue with Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving. The seven-time Allstar tweeted out a book called Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, which has been documented for containing misleading antisemitic information. Many fans and the team took offense to his promotion of the book. “I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation,” Joe Tasi, governor of the Nets and founder of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, said in response to Irving’s action. “I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is...

Ben Simmons inept shooting ability has become a radioactive topic of conversation around the NBA in recent years, but Brooklyn Nets Coach Steve Nash doesn’t seem fazed. In fact, his recent praise of Simmons is a significant departure from typical discourse about the oft-maligned player. In an interview with ESPN, Nash said that his team stood to benefit from Simmons’ play, with or without a jump shot. With Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant on the floor, Simmons’ defensive ability and paint presence seem to be enough for Nash. “That’s why I don’t care if he ever shoots a jump shot for the Brooklyn ...

A former NBA player who has played with Kevin Durant did not have kind words to say about Golden State Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry. This is Mike James, who currently plays in the EuroLeague, previously played with Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans. In an appearance on the Players Choice podcast, James couldn’t get himself to put Curry in his top five list of current active players. “Steph, how he plays and how he gets stuff off, it’s just kinda one-dimensional at times,” James said. “He’s not the primary ball-handler a lot, and for a point guard that kinda bothe...

James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a two-year, $68.6 million deal, finally settling weeks of negotiations. The news was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski via Twitter on Wednesday night. Harden reportedly has a player option for the second year that would allow him to enter free agency following the 2022-23 season. Following a year in which the All-Star guard was traded to the 76ers from the Brooklyn Nets, Harden declined his $47 million option last month in order to give his new team more space to acquire other players. This new deal seems to benefit both the team and th...
