NBA: GM Billy King Admits the Brooklyn Nets Championship Window Has Closed
With a new billionaire owner and the move to the swanky Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Nets wanted to make a big splash. General manager Billy King went out and spent a fortune (ordered by Mikhail Prokhorov) to put together a championship contending team. What resulted was the most expensive roster in NBA history and trading away the team’s future picks to get that squad of Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett which only made it to the second round of the NBA playoffs. The team has since made moves to lower the payroll and the overall age of the team. As they rebuild, King admits that championship window they had has now closed.

NBA: Nets Send Letter to Fans About Future Plans & Leave Out Deron Williams & Joe Johnson
There were reports all of last season about the Brooklyn Nets trying to trade Deron Williams and Joe Johnson but so far they haven’t been able to yield any viable offers. Joe Johnson is set to make $24.9 million next season and Deron Williams is set to make $21 million next season (and $22.3 million the season after that). The Nets just don’t see the two players in their future and the “star” players who were once part of the “Big 3” weren’t even mentioned in the team’s letter to the fans.
