NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets have finished a disappointing season in which they did not meet their own expectations of making the play-in tournament, let alone the playoffs.

The Nets will have seven players that are free-agents this summer (three unrestricted and four restricted) including center ..read more

NEW YORK — Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton is heading into free-agency for the first time in his career now that Brooklyn’s season has come to an end. Before Claxton thought about his free-agency in its entirety, he took some time to think about how this season went awry. “Just trying to process everything. Obviously this season didn’t go the way we wanted it to, the way we had it planned,” Claxton said during his exit interview on Monday. In the midst of the Nets not meeting their own expectations of making the playoffs, Claxton had himself another solid season that will earn him a pretty pe ..read more
