Adam Koffler's Breakout Players to Target in Fantasy Basketball Drafts

After two irregular NBA seasons affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic, we finally have a "semi-normal" 82-game 2021-22 season on the horizon. That also means fantasy basketball is right around the corner! In my inaugural column, I'll highlight a few players I'm expecting to break out and take the league by storm this season. More than […]

2021-22 Fantasy Basketball Pre-Training Camp ADPs: Guards

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season. On the other hand, rostering players in perfect situations can be the ultimately league-winning move for savvy fantasy GMs. Today, let's talk about some potential busts and sleepers at […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Returning To Brooklyn

Forward LaMarcus Aldridge agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million deal to return to Brooklyn. The multi-time All-Star was forced into retirement five months ago because of a heart condition. However, Aldridge has been deemed medically cleared, so he will rejoin a Nets team that is undoubtedly looking to make a run toward an NBA Championship. […]

Winners from the 2021-22 NBA Offseason Trades

The NBA offseason has turned into a matter of days--hours, if you push it--when it comes to player movement. Tampering present or not, the truth is that franchises lose no time in inking their new acquisitions to healthy deals, wheeling and dealing rookies and draft picks left and right, and pulling off trades with other […]

James Harden Extension In The Works

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden could be nearing a contract extension. General manager Sean Marks is hoping a new deal will be complete before the start of the new year, with Kyrie Irving also on the radar to receive one as well. The latest update comes after Kevin Durant recently agreed four-year, $198 million extension […]

Kyrie Irving Could Be Next For An Extension

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving could be next in line to score an extension, according to general manager Sean Marks. A new James Harden agreement is also being orchestrated, with the hope that both players receive new contracts before the start of the 2021-22 NBA campaign. The 29-year-old averaged 26.9 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.8 […]

DeAndre’ Bembry Lands One-Year Deal With Brooklyn

The Nets agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent forward DeAndre' Bembry. Bembry played most of his career in Atlanta before landing in Canada for the 2020-21 season, averaging 5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.0 steals throughout 51 games with the Raptors. The 27-year-old doesn't have much value from a fantasy standpoint, primarily […]

Kevin Durant Signs Extension With Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant agreed to a four-year, $198 million contract extension with the team. The former MVP averaged 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.6 boards, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 45 percent from deep throughout 35 games last season. The 32-year-old dealt with health and safety protocols in 2020-21, and injuries have been consistent […]

Patty Mills Signs Two-Year Deal With Nets

Free-agent guard Patty Mills has decided to take a two-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard will fortify their bench for the reasonable price of $12 million over the two seasons. Mills averaged a career-best 2.4 made triples in 24.8 minutes last season with the San Antonio Spurs. There probably won't be much […]

Early Winners of the 2021-22 NBA Free Agency

Free agency can be a great opportunity for players to find new homes that mesh with their playing styles and help them achieve their potential. But it can also be a chance for players to think they're doing that and then wind up in a bad situation where they're unable to find NBA success. This […]

James Johnson Signs With Nets

Free agent forward James Johnson has agreed to a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Last season, Johnson averaged 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 44.6 percent from the floor. Johnson will likely occupy a role similar to the one that Jeff Green had last year for the team, with some time […]

Fantasy Basketball UDFA Rookie Sleepers

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Fantasy Basketball Second Round Rookie Sleepers

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Blake Griffin Agrees To One-Year Deal With Brooklyn

Forward Blake Griffin agreed to a one-year deal on Monday night to remain in Brooklyn. The multi-time All-Star began the 2020-21 season in Detroit. However, after receiving a buyout, he signed with the Nets, where he averaged 10 points and 4.7 boards throughout 26 regular-season games in the Big Apple. Nonetheless, while health issues have […]

Veteran Winners After the 2021 NBA Draft

We're just a couple of days removed from the 2021 edition of the NBA Draft. As is always the case, just a couple of picks were virtual locks with the rest of the picks going left and right and handing us more than a few surprises. And that is without even entering the trade realm […]

Last night, the annual NBA Draft happened.

Nets Take Day’Ron Sharpe At 29

With the 29th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets — who acquired the picks from the Suns in a deal that sent Landry Shamet to Phoenix — have selected North Carolina center Day'Ron Sharpe. Last season, Sharpe averaged 9.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game. He's an athletic big and […]

Nets Take Cam Thomas At 27

With the 27th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets have selected LSU guar Cam Thomas. Thomas showed a knack for scoring with LSU last season, averaging 23.0 points per game, though he shot just 40.6 percent. That efficiency should rise in Brooklyn though, as Thomas will be surrounded by James Harden, Kevin […]

Landry Shamet Landing In Phoenix

The Brooklyn Nets are sending guard Landry Shamet to Phoenix in exchange for Jevon Carter and the 29th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. The deal will add critical depth to the Suns, a team plagued by injuries during the postseason. The 24-year-old averaged 9.3 points and shot nearly 39 percent from deep during […]

Blake Griffin Expected To Remain In Brooklyn

Free-agent forward Blake Griffin is expected to remain in Brooklyn next season. After reaching a buyout agreement with the Detroit Pistons during the year, the 32-year-old signed with the Nets.

Spencer Dinwiddie Could Join Mavericks

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie could be headed to a new organization over the offseason. The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in signing Dinwiddie in free agency.
