After writing my post Sunday afternoon, I was able to clear my head in the form of a long drive in terrible weather. Saturday’s game stuck with me, but I don’t really know why. It was another blowout loss to a better team, another eye-rolling performance from virtually everyone on the floor. Maybe it’s just […]
The Houston Rockets asked the Brooklyn Nets to do what the Nets couldn’t do for two years: unite Deron Williams and Dwight Howard on the same roster. The Rockets, who have been looking at potential trade scenarios for disgruntled center Omer Asik, called the Nets and made an offer as part of their “due diligence.” […]
At halftime of Tuesday’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors, Nets general manager Billy King spoke with YES Network’s Sarah Kustok on a variety of topics, including trust (which isn’t there yet), Kidd (who King feels has the confidence and voice to lead), injuries (which he doesn’t blame for their struggles) and the […]
After a listless 2-5 start, with four of those losses coming to sub-.500 teams, is Brooklyn Nets GM Billy King hitting the panic button? Not quite yet. King spoke with Sam Amick of USA TODAY before the team’s loss to the Sacramento Kings, and King preached patience about his new roster.
Billy King joined the Joe and Evan show on WFAN this afternoon to talk about the Brooklyn Nets, fresh off a season-opening loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and King dished on numerous NBA subjects. I did not have the chance to listen to it, but the good folks over at SNY transcribed a few key […]

In the wake of head coach Jason Kidd pleading guilty to a DUI in July 2012, with a sentence of probation and a possible NBA suspension, Billy King has released the following statement: Jason has taken responsibility for his actions, and fully realizes that he needs to grow from this experience. We are confident he […]
Brooklyn Nets head coach Jason Kidd and general manager Billy King watched a half-dozen draft prospects today — including potential draftee Tim Hardaway, Jr. — but the major topic of discussion today had nothing to do with what the Nets might do with their 22nd pick. After the workout in the PNY Center, King spoke […]
At 40 years old, Jason Kidd isn’t the youngest head coach in the NBA — that distinction belongs to the 38-year-old Jacque Vaughn. (Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel is also younger than Kidd.) But Kidd is, by far, the least experienced: no other head coach in the NBA has zero experience coaching. Even Mike […]
After the monumental hiring of Jason Kidd as the team’s next head coach, Kidd was asked if the Brooklyn Nets needed one more piece to be truly competitive. “You’d have to ask Billy that,” Kidd responded, referring to Nets general manager Billy King. So I did.
