Roundtable: Uncovering the Brooklyn Nets’ best lineups
Our former leader Devin Kharpertian may be on to new adventures and The Brooklyn Game is definitely changing, but let’s be clear: we still love our roundtables.

What is the “market value” of these Nets on the floor?
One of the quirks about following the Nets, from either a casual distance or with intense focus, is that you haven’t had to think much about market value. If the player was good, they paid for him. If he wasn’t good, well, they might have paid for him anyway. The money side was simple, even […]
The Nets didn’t have a good offseason, but they had a necessary one
