Brooklyn gets swept. The Nets are in a tough situation. KD, Kyrie, Simmons, Joe Harris, Seth Curry make $140+M combined.
Patty Mills can opt out. Drummond, Bruce Brown, Claxton, Blake Griffin, Aldridge, Dragic are all free agents.
Rockets control their draft for 5 more years. – 9:33 PM

Bruce Brown replaces Blake Griffin. Best scoreless game of BG’s career? – 9:23 PM

After a nice little inside pass to Bruce Brown, Kevin Durant looked over at Ime Udoka and smirked. 😏 – 8:22 PM

Seth Curry committed two fouls and the Nets subbed in Mills but Bruce Brown came out. Swore that had to be a mistake. And then on the next play, Curry called for his third. – 7:10 PM

More on this storyline
Woj also spoke just how important Bruce Brown’s play after the Philly trade could be for him. “Obviously, Bruce Brown has had a tremendous season,” Woj noted. “He’s looking like a 12, 13, 14 million dollar player in this marketplace. They have to sign him.” Brown is playing under a $4.7 million qualifying offer. While technically an unrestricted free agent, Brown could return if the Nets sign him outright or match a rival team’s offer. -via NetsDaily / April 25, 2022
