Nets open and ‘prepared’ to go after superstar this summer: ‘That could happen’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:20:24 GMT

Nets general manager Sean Marks says star forward Mikal Bridges can be Brooklyn’s No. 1 scoring option moving forward — but that’s not going to stop him searching for another one this offseason.Speaking to reporters in his end-of-the-season exit interview, Marks was complimentary of the job Bridges did holding down the fort as the Nets’ primary option on offense after he arrived in Brooklyn as part of the Kevin Durant deal.The GM, however, also left the door open for striking an offseason deal that brings more of a household-name kind of star scorer into the fold for next season, especially if it vaults Brooklyn back into championship contention.“It would be way too soon to call that. I think we need to let the dust settle a little bit but we’ve always been prepared,” Marks said on Sunday. “In this day and age, we’ve all seen players demand trades, players behind the scenes ask for this, teams change — whether it’s ow...

Re-signing Cam Johnson a priority for Nets this offseason: ‘We hope he’s back’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:20:24 GMT

Retaining restricted free agent Cam Johnson is a priority for the Nets — and Johnson suggests he’s more than open to the idea of staying in Brooklyn.There are a number of reasons why Johnson’s fit on a Nets team likely re-tooling this summer makes sense. Chief among them: He is a valuable player at his position, one the Nets are grateful to have pried from the Phoenix Suns in the Kevin Durant megadeal at the Feb. 9 NBA Trade Deadline.Johnson averaged 16.6 points on 37.5% three-point shooting in his 25 regular-season games with the Nets. In four playoff games, he assumed a larger scoring responsibility and managed to increase his efficiency. When the 76ers trapped Mikal Bridges, Johnson became another focal point of Brooklyn’s offense. He averaged 18.5 points through the four-game series against the Sixers and shot at a 43% clip from downtown.“Cam knows how we feel,” Nets general manager Sean Marks said during his end-of-the-season exit interview w...

SUNRISE, Fla.–Though he teased that Jeremy Swayman could get the start for Sunday’s Game 4 on Saturday, Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said that Linus Ullmark would start his fourth straight game as the B’s try to take a 3-1 series stranglehold on the Florida Panthers.Also, Montgomery said that David Krejci will miss his second straight game and most likely will miss Wednesday’s Game 5 at the Garden. It is believed Krejci has some sort of arm injury.The B’s will go with the same lineup that they did in Friday’s 4-2 win in Game 3.On the decision to stick with Ullmark, Montgomery said, “I think Linus has played well and (goalie coach Bob Essensa) had his goalie union and they decided that’s what was best for the Boston Bruins. Like I’ve said, I have a lot of confidence in Goalie Bob. His feel for his goaltenders is outstanding and I never second-guess.”As for Krejci, even though there’s a two-day break between Games 4 and 5, Montgomer...

Lizzo brings drag queens on stage, protesting Tennessee law

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:20:24 GMT

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In a concert Friday night in Knoxville, Tennessee, Lizzo filled the stage with drag queens in a glittery protest against the state’s legislation designed to restrict drag performances in public. While performing at Thompson-Boling Arena, the Grammy-winning “Juice” singer brought out a number of drag performers, including Aquaria, Kandy Muse, Asia O’Hara and Vanessa Vanji. On Saturday, Lizzo posted videos on Instagram from the show, including comments to the crowd that referenced the pending law. In February, Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed the legislation against “adult cabaret” in public or in front of minors. A federal judge temporarily blocked the law in late March, saying it was too vaguely written. Civil rights groups have criticized the law as a violation of free speech. The Tennessee law is part of a wider Republican effort to restrict drag shows and other LGBTQ+ public gatherings. “In light of recent and tragic events and current events, I was t...
