Around the Nets: Monday Edition

Former Nets Center Dwayne Schintzius has passed away at the age of 43.

Mikhail Prokhorov wants to be clear on this subject: Kanye West’s diss on “Theraflu” at Kris Humphries has no basis in fact, and Prokhorov will support Kris in what he calls an “epic battle.”

Doc Rivers hardly recognizes Gerald Green.

That said, Green remembers the Celtics well, and though his preference is to re-sign with the Nets, one Celtics columnist reported that he wouldn’t rule out returning to Boston.

One additional bonus from the Gerald Wallace trade: Shawne Williams, whose short stint in New Jersey was essentially a failure, is picking up his option for 2012-13 in Portland. That’s $3.1 million.

Tonight, you’ll see at least 30 very excited fans in the arena for Nets-Heat (well, hopefully more). Those are thanks to Anthony Morrow, who donated 30 tickets to youth in the Children for Cultural Differences program.

You’ll never guess what sport Jordan Williams gave up to play basketball.
