Over the course of the 2012-13 NBA season, it became apparent that newly acquired Brooklyn Nets’ shooting guard Joe Johnson had a love of jump shots, a love affair that potentially cost him a down season in his first year in Brooklyn. Injuries may be partially to blame, as Johnson averaged 16.3 points per game (1.3 points off of his career average), but shot just 42 percent from the field and an even worse 37 percent from downtown. The 13-year man’s struggles were really highlighted during the month of March, when Johnson shot .425 from the...

The Brooklyn Nets, fresh off their Game 7 loss at home to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, May 4, are now in offseason mode. Brooklyn made big splashes last offseason by re-signing free agents Deron Williams and Gerald Wallace and trading with the Atlanta Hawks for Joe Johnson.

According to HoopsHype.com, the Nets are already committed for more than $89.5 million in salaries for next season, although the $4 million the club will pay to Travis Outlaw will not count...

read moreBrooklyn Nets: Is Reggie Evans Turning Into Today’s Dennis Rodman?
With Reggie Evans’ dominant style on the boards and aggressive defense on the court, it’s possible to draw a parallel between the Brooklyn Nets’ forward and former NBA great Dennis Rodman.
