Thoughts on the Brooklyn Nets, Jeremy Lin, Tanking and Tradeable Assets
With this Brooklyn Nets season slowly turning into a mini-nightmare of blowout losses and non existent defense, don’t be surprised if the trade rumors come swirling in, and fast. Jeremy Lin will have his name included in them as well, even if right now it doesn’t seem like something realistic.

Brooklyn Nets, (Still Injured) Jeremy Lin and & Meaningless Losing
Let’s keep this short, because while Jeremy Lin is out, the Brooklyn Nets are somewhere between tanking and being the worst in the NBA without meaning. They’ve lost six consecutive games, the most recent one by 21 points to the Indiana Pacers. Next up are the Sacramento Kings, but without Lin, does it matter?

Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Play, Lopez & Bogdanovic Can’t Lift Nets
The first game without Jeremy Lin for the Brooklyn Nets ended with a 99-95 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. If it wasn’t for Brook Lopez going cold in the second half or Bojan Bogdanovic missing pretty much everything all night long, and maybe they would have been able to pull it off.

Jeremy Lin Needs Brooklyn Nets Teammates to Step Up (Pistons Preview)
The loss to the Chicago Bulls was the wrong way to start off a homestand that offers rest between nights and winnable games.

Jeremy Lin, Brooklyn Nets Show Positives Despite Fatigue & Loss
There’s a term coaches hate: Moral victories. They often come after losses. But the Brooklyn Nets losing 110-108 to the Milwaukee Bucks, with Jeremy Lin having a rough shooting night but doing a lot of other things to put the Nets within one possession of winning the game, had a lot of things to feel good about despite the loss.

Jeremy Lin Good, Could do Better; Brooklyn Nets Have Plenty of Problems
Overall, no surprise that the Boston Celtics beat the Brooklyn Nets 122-117 on opening night for both teams, with the Nets eating up a big lead in the final minutes. Jeremy Lin didn’t have a dream debut, but he played well enough to leave us wanting more, while the team around him showed once more how much work needs to be done.

Brooklyn Nets: Jeremy Lin & the Two-Position Player Concept
In our second look at the Brooklyn Nets right before their first preseason game of the 2016-2017 NBA season, we focus on the team making up for some of their more glaring weaknesses by trying to use as many two-position players as possible (and maybe even three). Jeremy Lin is part of that stock, although it’s doubtful his role on offense will change very much: The Nets don’t have another playmaker like him, and their main hope of not being a doormat this season connects directly to him doing well as the team’s point guard.

7 Best NBA Rookies After the First Month of the Season
