One thing to watch: Nets have so many like-sized and switchy defenders. #Cavs have struggled this season — at times — with switch-heavy defenses that take them out of the high pick and roll. They sometimes fall into the ISO-heavy trap. They will need to diversify offense today. – 1:54 PM

The Nets are seen as an ideal spot for Dejounte Murray from his side in potential trade negotiations, per @JakeLFischer.
Makes sense from Murray’s camp given Brooklyn’s need for a lead ball handler. He’s entering the first year of a four-year, $114M contract next season. – 1:38 PM

At a news conference before Cavs/Nets in Paris, NBA commissioner Adam Silver says “no doubt” that the In-Season Tournament will return next season … albeit with some “potential changes” under consideration RE: tiebreakers, courts, name, etc.

ESPN Sources: The NBA is still working on final sign-off from the Players Association, but the 2024 NBA Draft is preparing to move to two days – June 26 and 27 – in Brooklyn. Wednesday for the first-round picks and Thursday for the second-round. pic.twitter.com/IJJYGEku2b12:23 PM

Ahead of the Nets playing in Paris, most were happy to visit a city they’ve never been to. Nic Claxton, however, was no stranger to Paris and its culture.
