Nic Claxton just bumped Giannis on his way back to the bench -- Giannis was not happy about it. He walked with Claxton back towards the Brooklyn bench after that time out was called and had a few words.
That is not the guy to upset.
I'm going through UNC games and only watching Caleb Wilson, and his off-ball defensive awareness is a big issue. Lots of ball watching and missed assignments all over the tape. He can usually fall back on his recovery ability, but there will be a real learning curve in the NBA.
Mikel Brown Jr. met with the #Nets: “Yeah. It would be a great opportunity right there. Just continuing to build relationships with them at the time goes on…I mean, it's something that we're definitely interested in and looking forward to building a relationship with.” #nba
Behind Playoffs MVP @JuliusErving , the Nets beat the Nuggets 4-2, including a 22-point comeback in the decisive Game 6.
Dr. J averaged a staggering 37.7 points per game, 14.2 rebounds per game, and 5.3 assists per game in the Finals.
Here’s a route I could realistically see the Brooklyn Nets taking:
•Sign Austin Reaves to 4yr-$160 million deal
•Trade back from pick 6 to around 10th and take one of Mara/Lendeborg
•Sign a defense-first guard
Reaves - Traore - Saraf
Dëmin - Ellis - Powell
MPJ- Minott - Mann
Lendeborg - Ziaire - Clowney
Claxton - Sharpe - Wolf
One NBA GM on today's Draft Lottery:
"I don't see much disparity from No. 1 to the No. 8 or 9 pick. I think the No. 3 or 4 pick may be the best because you won't get crucified for not taking Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer or Wilson down the line. The decision will be made for you."
Sources: Teams including the Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, and Brooklyn Nets are expected to be suitors for guard Tyler Herro this summer.

The Brooklyn Nets have signed head coach Jordi Fernandez and the entire coaching staff to multiyear contract extensions, sources tell ESPN. This solidifies a long-term commitment for Fernandez after two seasons at the helm.
