Joe Harris Expected To Be Fully Healthy For Camp
Brooklyn Nets forward Joe Harris (ankle) is expected to be 100% for the start of training camp.

Markieff Morris Heading To Brooklyn
Free-agent forward Markieff Morris is heading to the Nets on a one-year deal. The 32-year-old averaged 7.6 points and 2.6 boards with the Heat last season, although he played only 17 games due to injury. While the veteran shouldn't be a routine fantasy contributor, he has a chance to earn a meaningful role in the […]
Nets, Markieff Morris Moving Forward In Talks
The Nets and free-agent forward Markieff Morris have "moved into advanced discussions." Brooklyn has the veteran on the radar, especially with the team looking to add depth underneath the basket. The 32-year-old has averaged 10.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists throughout his career. While Morris probably won't be a consistent fantasy contributor if he […]
Nets Ink Yuta Watanabe To Non-Guaranteed Deal
Free-agent forward Yuta Watanabe agreed to a one-year contract with Brooklyn on Sunday. The 27-year-old has four professional seasons under his belt, suiting up for the Grizzlies and Raptors and averaging 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. It's a non-guaranteed deal, so there's a good chance he won't make the regular season roster. Yet, […]
Nets Considering Adding Tristan Thompson
Free-agent center Tristan Thompson is on the Nets' radar. The veteran has played for four teams after his nine-year tenure with the Cavs came to an end. Through his career, he's averaged 9.0 boards, 8.4 rebounds. Nevertheless, if Thompson signs with Brooklyn, he isn't expected to receive much work. However, considering Nicolas Claxton has battled […]
Brooklyn Expressing Interest In Markieff Morris
Free-agent forward Markieff Morris is drawing interest from the Nets. The 32-year-old has had a lengthy career, suiting up for six different teams along the way and averaging 10.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. While his best days are probably behind him, he could earn some minutes in Brooklyn this season, giving him streaming […]
Nets Not Targeting Dwight Howard
Free-agent center Dwight Howard was reportedly drawing interest from Brooklyn. However, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, that isn't the case. The future Hall of Fame big man has certainly had a remarkable career. Since being drafted in 2004, he's played for seven different teams. He last suited up for the Lakers, his third stint […]
Kevin Durant Rescinds Trade Request
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant will remain with the team this season. Head coach Steve Nash, general manager Sean Marks, and governors Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai met with Durant and his agent in Los Angeles.

Nets Plan On Keeping Kyrie Irving
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is expected to remain on the roster. The team allowed the multi-time All-Star to seek out a trade this offseason, with the Lakers seemingly having the most realistic shot at acquiring him. However, Brooklyn repeatedly balked at deals surrounding Russell Westbrook and future first-round picks. Without a doubt, the 30-year-old […]
Grizzlies Interested In Acquiring Kevin Durant
The Memphis Grizzlies have expressed interest in acquiring forward Kevin Durant from Brooklyn. The Grizzlies have a plethora of first-round unprotected draft picks up for grabs. However, with the Nets looking to remain in the championship conversation, a deal centered around picks isn't enticing. Memphis is also reportedly unwilling to part ways with Jaren Jackson […]

While there are still some trade-related shoes that could drop and disrupt team rotations and rosters, we have a pretty good idea now of what each NBA team will look like […]
Nets Considering Adding Carmelo Anthony?
Free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony could make his way to Brooklyn. Kevin Durant, who is still looking to be traded, has lobbied to get Anthony as a teammate over the years, so adding the veteran would be considered in hopes of keeping the 2014 MVP on the roster. The 38-year-old played 69 games for the Lakers […]
Lakers Reportedly Propose New Deal For Kyrie Irving
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving remains on the Lakers' radar. Yet, Brooklyn has already rejected numerous trade proposals for the multi-time All-Star over the last several months. However, with LeBron James becoming increasingly adamant Los Angeles gets more aggressive, the Lakers have reportedly recently offered Russell Westbrook, and the club's coveted 2027 and 2029 first-round […]
Kevin Durant Says He's Not Retiring
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant announced on Twitter that he's not retiring. Durant's name has been in the news throughout most of the offseason, so the latest rumor shouldn't come as a surprise. While it's confirmed the multi-time All-Star isn't calling it quits, his future in Brooklyn still remains a mystery. However, no matter what […]
Kyrie Irving Allegedly Had Interesting Contract Demands
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving opted into his player option for the 2022-23 campaign.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram could be included in a "compelling package" to acquire Kevin Durant from Brooklyn, according to Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily Times.

Kevin Durant Training Camp Holdout A Possibility
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant could consider a holdout during training camp if he's not traded by then, according to Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily Times. With governor Joseph Tsai openly supporting head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks, it appears less likely the multi-time All-Star will want to suit up […]

Kevin Durant Might Stay In Brooklyn
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant might end up being stuck with the organization despite his trade request. Ian Begley reported that no other organization wants to get involved and help out the Nets. It would take a ridiculous amount of assets to obtain Durant in a trade.
