Brooklyn Nets Rumors
Get a free trial “It’s the reality of pro sports, so I think you have to be upfront and honest with it. And I think everybody — not only on this team but, I would say, around the league — really realizes: Look, it’s pro sports. I’ve been in that locker room. I understand what it looks like and what it seems like and you do have to move on and so forth. “But again, you want to be upfront, honest. And ultimately the goal for us is to find continuity, right? Whether that’s through a group of young guys building and growing here together, adding pieces in free agency when we have the opportunity to do so or trading for guys, which we can do. So, the flexibility for us is pretty exciting and intriguing moving forward.”

Michael Scotto: The Detroit Pistons added Gianluca Pascucci to their front office, sources told @hoopshype. Pascucci and Pistons President Trajan Langdon worked together with the Nets. Since then, Pascucci was an assistant general manager for the Timberwolves and spent last season with the Bulls pic.twitter.com/5yobk8EoVh
Nets Daily: Reminder, NBA teams can bring up to 20 players into camp, need to be down to 15 by Oct 21. Also, as @NYPost_Lewis wrote yesterday quoting a league source, “there are still moving pieces” on trade front. So having 15 roster pieces at this point doesn’t really mean a lot.

Brian Lewis: Point guard Jacob Gilyard is no longer with the #Nets at Las Vegas Summer League. His high-energy ballhawking – seven steals in one game against the #Knicks – may have impressed other teams. #NBA
