The superstar era in Brooklyn ended when Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both asked for trades at the deadline this season. But what does that mean for the Nets going forward and do recent comments about the Nets by both players mean anything for the team’s future prospects? The Locked on Nets guys take a look at the situation, examine what both Durant and Irving had to say about their respective times in Brooklyn, and see what the landscape is for the team now. They discuss Mikal Bridges and Nic Claxton as centerpieces for the team, what free agency in the coming years could mean for the Nets and how they are positioned as a team.

The Brooklyn Nets took on the Houston Rockets in a critical game for playoff seeding and it was looking dicey until real late. That was until the Nets went on a 20-6 run to close things out, making all of their shots in the final four minute of play. The big story was Cameron Johnson who had his best game in a Nets uniform with 31 points in the win.  The Locked on Nets guys break down the win, what it means for Johnson to play like this and how things unfolded in this game. Plus they take a look at the playoff landscape with the Knicks beating the Heat on Wednesday.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Adam looks at the remaining schedule and which players on the Nets roster could be cementing their future, for better or worse. Brooklyn is under .500 since the trade deadline, and while they have given some amazing performances the sample size largely paints a picture of an incomplete roster. After Mikal Bridges and Nic Claxton who has already shown, and who could show they deserve to be in Brooklyn for years to come? From expiring contract veterans to Long Island standouts, it is a roster roundup as the playoffs apporach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ben Simmons had not played in more than a month and it didn’t come as much surprise over the weekend when Jacque Vaughn and company hinted that he wouldn’t return this season. It’s been an up and down (mostly down) season for Simmons who showed flashes at times but never came all that close to returning to his previous levels on the court. It’s a significant issue for the Nets going forward, especially where his contract is concerned. Simmons was working his way back from back surgery in the off season, but he never seemed to get healthy and obviously had additional issues in the short-term. Where do Simmons and the Nets go from here and is there any chance he ever gets back close to a superstar level? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Brooklyn Nets were coming off a huge win on Saturday against the Miami Heat that put them in the driver’s seat for the Eastern Conference 6th seed. But then they followed it up with a terrible loss to the lottery-bound Orlando Magic on Sunday. Mikal Bridges was amazing, scoring 44 points on 81% true shooting, but the rest of the team was terrible, going a combined 2-26 from three and just never getting anything going.

Spencer Dinwiddie, Mikal Bridges, and the rest of the Nets seemingly had the game in hand against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but fell apart in the final stretch, ultimately losing. On the whole, Brooklyn played well in this game, getting key performances from some guys. But a cavalcade of mistakes late including turnovers, weird coaching decisions, and a couple of dagger shots from Cleveland spelled their demise. It was a borderline heartbreaking loss for Brooklyn who now falls to the seventh seed in the East and, for now, into the play-in game. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Nets entered a critical three-game stretch this week with two games against the Cavaliers and one against the Heat. With the play-in game looking more and more likely, the team really needed to stop the losing skid. They weren’t able to do it with Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and the Cavaliers winning rather easily when it was all said and done. The Locked on Nets guys talk about the game, Brooklyn’s recent struggles, the poor shooting from three and other issues the team is having.

The Nets enter a critical section of their season with the next three games against the Cleveland Cavaliers twice and then the Miami Heat. It’s a crucial stretch for their playoff chances. For starters there’s still an outside chance of catching the Cavs for the 4 seed (unlikely). But more importantly, they need to hold off the Heat in order to avoid the Eastern Conference play-in game. The Locked on Nets guys break down the different scenarios for Mikal Bridges and company as they enter these final 11 games and what the rest of the week could tell us about the Nets’ season.

The Nets played the Sacramento Kings strong on the defensive end with Mikal Bridges, Nic Claxton, and company holding the league’s best offense to just 101 points in total. But old problems for Brooklyn cropped up once again, getting crushed on the offensive glass and not knocking down threes when they needed them the most. Domantas Sabonis turned in a monster game on the glass, grabbing seven offensive boards himself whereas the Nets only had three as a team. And while Brooklyn made a late push, they couldn’t get all the way there in the 4th quarter. The Locked on Nets guys break down the game, the loss and what’s in store for the Nets going forward.

Adam Armbrecht takes a look at the very short rotation currently running in Brooklyn. When winning, the lineups are effective but should Cam Thomas and Edmond Sumner be more involved going forward? The eye test on Cam Thomas tells a story of a player that is an elite offensive weapon, who continues to evolve his all around game, while the game to game usage suggests internal concerns. Edmond Sumner on the other hand is a player that by the eye and analytics should be on the court in a consistent if not small role. While Mikal Bridges and Spencer Dinwiddie have been excellent, a strong case can be made the best way to maximize thee top of the rotation is by utilizing the depth across this team.

The sent multiple-first round picks and players in a four-team deal to bring Jrue Holiday in and added Brook Lopez through Free Agency. At its core has been a nine year pairing between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kris Middleton, who was acquired via a 2013 sign and trade with the Detroit Pistons that did not cost the Bucks a treasure trove of assets. The guys discuss the "boring nature" of covering a franchise always in the championship hunt, but that is rarely in the headlines and how personalities are often an overlooked component when chasing rings. They also look at the roller-coster ride for Nets fans and there is a sense of optimism going forward. The Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving trades ended thee "championship era" for Brooklyn but has also provided a potential new beginning with Mikal Bridges as the center-piece. Kane and Adam close out touching on potential "big changes" that could come for a team in the Bucks that is by no means old, but certainly has some age(and injuries) on its roster as they look to capitalize on another deep playoff run.

The Brooklyn Nets walked into Houston on Tuesday and took care of the Rockets with relative ease. But the big story, once again, was the rise of Mikal Bridges who’s been a 50/40/90 guy since joining the team and is already looking like a superstar in the making. He dropped another 30 points in this one and the guys discuss his ceiling going forward. Plus they talk Spencer Dinwiddie’s game and wonder what the heck is happening with Cam Thomas.

The Nets signed veteran Nerlens Noel to a 10-day contract, filling out their final roster space after it had been open since the trade deadline. The Locked on Nets guys talk about a move like this for the Nets this late in the season, and what it means for other guys on the roster like Ben Simmons and Day’Ron Sharpe. Could it mean that Brooklyn thinks that Ben Simmons is going to miss even more extended time? Have they effectively given up on Sharpe being a meaningful contributor this season? They break down the move and what it means for the team. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Mikal Bridges was the sticking point for Sean Marks as the Kevin Durant trade to Phoenix was being discussed ahead of the NBA trade deadline. If you didn't know why at the time, you certainly do now. Mikal is currently on a 50/50/90 line from the field, beyond the arc and at the line. Following an incredible come from behind win over the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Bridges and the Nets came out dominant against the Charlotte Hornets. This is a bad opponent with a bad record, and the Nets treated them as such. Mikal Bridges showcased the all around game, and exhibited a trait often reserved for superstars, elite midrange ability that overrides the analytics of todays three-point NBA. In what continues to be a roller coaster season for the Nets, Mikal Bridges is giving fans a thrilling ride! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nets came out sluggish in this game, falling down 30 points in the first half. But on the back of Mikal Bridges, team defense, and some well-timed plays, they pulled off one of the best comebacks in the NBA this season. This was one of the best come-from-behind victories in Nets' history and it was against a team in the Celtics that have really had Brooklyn's number. Doug Norrie breaks down the win, how the Nets were able to come back, the play of Mikal Bridges, the moves by Jacque Vaughn and more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Mikal Bridges, Spencer Dinwiddie, and the Brooklyn Nets went into Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks, and promptly got crushed. This game felt over almost before it had started with the Knicks dropping 47 points in the first quarter on their way to the blowout. Cameron Johnson put up 33 points, but it wasn't close to enough. The Locked on Nets guys look at the game, but more importantly, look at why this has been such a frustrating stretch for the Nets. It isn't just the blowouts, but also the recognition that this team just doesn't know who it is now that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are no longer here. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Brooklyn Nets lost again, this time on a mid-range buzzer beater from Trae Young. While the new roster performed better in this contest, they still failed to put together a consistent performance across four quarters. Adam discusses the lengthy defensive starting unit that failed to close out on perimeter shooters in the first quarter while also struggling with their own looks from the outside. The back court remains a subject of conversation as well, with Spencer Dinwiddie's final stat-line covering up what was an uneven performance from the veteran PG. This leads to looking at three key players that Jacque Vaughn needs to sort out in short order. Cam Thomas put together a strong game off the bench, with his attacking ability on full display but Seth Curry and Joe Harris provided little in their combined 13 minutes of action. Adam notes that if the playoffs are the goal this season something has to give around veteran players getting opportunities while contributors like Edmund Sumner and Yuta Watanabe remained iced on the bench.

It is a Brooklyn Nets cross-over! Adam is joined by the Talkin' Nets crew to take the at where the franchise stands as it heads down the home stretch of NBA season. They kick things off however with one last discussion on Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant who offered their perspectives on trade requests/demands and the state of the NBA in the player empowerment era. They also spend time trying to figure out what Ben Simmons is, or is not, as an NBA player and where his role should be over the remainder of the season. From there all eyes turn to the new look Nets and what can be expected in the short and long term, specifically from Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson.

In his third game with the Brooklyn Nets, Mikal Bridges turned in one of the NBA’s best games of the season. He dropped 45 points on 83% true shooting to lead Brooklyn in a win over Miami. It was a true leap type of game for Bridges who was the centerpiece in what the Suns sent back for Kevin Durant. The Locked on Nets guys break down the game, what was different for Bridges in this one, and how this begins to take at least some of the sting off of the Kevin Durant trade in general.
