T0mShane Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 On January 11, 2016 at 3:33 PM, SMC said: With The Russian cleaning house after Billy King did exactly what The Russian wanted, I was staggered by the summary of BK's moves: During King's tenure with the Nets, the team traded 11 first-round picks (including Derrick Favors and swaps, but hey, at least they'd be able to buy second-rounders …), made four head-coaching changes (Avery Johnson, P.J. Carlesimo, Jason Kidd, Lionel Hollins) and spent $123.43 million in luxury taxes (including a league-record $90.57 million in 2013-14) in an effort to win now. "Before he was hired in Brooklyn, Billy had a reputation of firing coaches, overpaying free agents and making false promises with blockbuster trades that left the organization in shambles," one NBA executive told ESPN.com. "And with a billionaire owner and a limitless war chest, Billy 2.0 with the Nets was that game plan on steroids." http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14545999/billy-king-era-comes-merciful-end-brooklyn-nets This is still painful.

faba Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Nets reach deal with ex-No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett 2:31 PM ET Mike MazzeoESPN Staff Writer Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email print comment The Brooklyn Nets are taking a flier on former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett. The two sides reached an agreement on a two-year contract that will be worth the veteran's minimum, sources confirmed Thursday. The Nets worked out Bennett, who has gotten into much better shape, at a veteran mini-camp early in the offseason and came away impressed. Bennett was a member of the Canadian national team that lost to France in the finals of the recent Olympic qualifying tournament in the Philippines. Bennett averaged 6.8 points and 5 rebounds in four games. Bennett, 23, taken with the top pick in 2013, has never lived up to his draft status. In parts of three seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors, he holds career averages of 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds. But rebuilding Brooklyn, which is coming off a 21-61 season and does not have total control over its own first-round pick until 2019, needs to find diamonds in the rough. The Nets are hoping that coach Kenny Atkinson's strong track record for developing players translates into helping Bennett turn his career around. The Nets also reached a one-year contract agreement with veteran guard Randy Foye, a source confirmed. Foye, 32, appeared in 81 games last season between the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder. The Vertical earlier reported the deal. Brooklyn now has 15 players under contract. After their offer sheets to restricted free agents Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson were matched by Portland and Miami, the Nets signed Greivis Vasquez, Luis Scola, Joe Harris, Bennett and Foye to short-term deals, maintaining salary cap flexibility in the process.
