Around the Nets: Mon- BROOKLYN BROOKLYN BROOKLYN

Your brand new, official, Brooklyn Nets website.

The contradictions of MarShon Brooks. Must-read.

Andrew Gnerre eulogizes the New Jersey Nets (and his, and thus our, relationship with them) about as eloquently as anyone.

Most Kris Humphries news these days is ridiculous, overblown gossip about his former wife and her current boyfriend. You don’t often hear the good things Humphries does, like bringing a cancer sufferer to a game as his VIP. Really heartwarming story.

Not the newest of news, but Deron Williams reiterates that he wants a new contract before the Olympics. Considering that the opening ceremony is on July 27th and the Nets will offer him a maximum contract on 12:01 of July 1st, I don’t see this as an issue.

Taking his comments in an aggregate, D-Will seems pretty positive about the Brooklyn Nets.

Yes, Gerald Wallace will opt out. Like D-Will, he wants long-term security. Doesn’t mean he’s leaving. Still surprising.

Quote from Brook Lopez at the bottom: “This is really the place I want to be. I was drafted here … I love being a Net. It’s the only thing I know. I like everyone in the organization. I have good friends here. I’ve enjoyed my time in this area, and would have no objections at all to continuing to be here.”

Fan Wesley W. sent me this photo of a Brooklyn Nets cake, made for his son’s 11th birthday. Sweet!
