IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Here is the new Nets mascot, “The Brooklyn Knight” and it looks like a bootleg Power Rangers villain. It’s a good thing Jay-Z and Nas don’t have beef anymore or else Nas would have had like 10 zingers on this mascot alone.

LOL @ these Clueless inspired Nets cheerleading uniforms
Big would have been proud.
Brooklyn’s herringbone hardwood
Since arriving in Brooklyn, Adam Morrison has already managed to fit in with the locals by ditching the Scott Ian metal goatee and instead donning a headband. So Wes Anderson!
Not pictured is Adam’s DIY frayed jean shorts and Sebago boat shoes.
[STATISTICAL NOTE: The Brooklyn Nets have lost their first four games in the summer league and Adam Morrison has scored a total of 24 points so far. Also Adam still gives the most terse interview answers, ever.]
BREAKING: Deron Williams is staying a Net
I give up.
The Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks have agreed in principle to a trade that will send Joe Johnson to Brooklyn for a few spare parts and a lottery-protected draft pick. The Nets are also expected to re-sign Deron Williams soon.
What this means financially is that Dwight Howard will not be moving to Brooklyn just a week after Howard finally, publicly admitted that he wanted Orlando to trade him there.
So Dwight blew it and all because he was too scared?/confused?/hopeless? to ask for the one thing that every 21-year old kid with a trust fund in America tells his or her parents after graduation: “Thanks for the money. I want to move to Brooklyn.”
In other news: Adam “Metalocalypse” Morrison has emerged from the depths of a Norwegian cavern and is currently working out with the Brooklyn Nets.
Legend has it, Adam defeated the Baphomet in a game of 1-on-1, devoured its heart for sustenance, and then travelled to Park Slope riding a fire-breathing dragon while listening to nothing but Mayhem and Samhain songs on his iPod.

What do you think of the new Brooklyn Nets logo? It was designed by minority owner Jay-Z, who says he was “inspired by the New York City Transit Authority subway signs from 1957.” Photo: NBA.com/Nets
Jay-Z designed the new Brooklyn Nets logos.
What do you guys think of them?

“Inspired by Jay Z himself, The Vault at Barclays Center was developed to reward customers with a higher level of sophistication and exclusivity in mind.”
The upcoming Brooklyn Nets Barclays arena will feature an “elite club” inside called The Vault with eleven private suites, concierge service, the Armand de Brignac Champagne Bar, high end culinary packages, and VIP parking.
Price of admission is a scant two unprotected 1st round lottery picks, or if you’re Deron Williams you can own the whole thing.
