🚨 INSIDER NOTEBOOK🚨
New reporting, sourced notes, and plenty of what I’m hearing as the #Nets approach a pivotal two weeks.
I answer many burning questions on the minds of Brooklyn fans based on my sourcing and reporting

Never really jump in on these, but feel like I have to here because this is being completely misinterpreted.
While parts of the article were sourced, I never reported this myself.
When discussing a potential #Nets trade-up, I mentioned Chicago as a possibility, speculation based on what has already been out there. I never said “per source,” “I’m told,” or framed it as ME reporting.
I used “reportedly” because multiple credible reporters have previously connected those dots.
Always worth reading the actual quote, not just an aggregator.
The Chicago Bulls have reportedly explored the possibility of moving back from No. 4 in exchange for more immediate help, per @connor_long15.

NEW: After speaking with multiple league sources, one name continues to surface as the current favorite for the #Nets at No. 6.
In my latest for @NetsDaily: Why Mikel Brown Jr. is gaining traction, Brooklyn’s level of interest, trade-up buzz and more.

How do Geno Smith, Frank Reich, and Garrett Wilson all fit for the #Jets entering 2026?
I go in the weeds and break it all down.

Regardless of your thoughts on the #Jets' coaching staff, one thing is obvious...
Frank Reich and Seth Ryan are perfect complements.

Still no official word on who will replace Acie Law IV as the #Nets’ chief scout.
However, Long Island Nets GM Matt MacDonald, who is highly respected in league circles, is viewed as a candidate for the role.

Sources: The Miami Heat are bringing in forward Jamichael Stillwell for a pre-draft workout today.
A physical, high-energy forward, Stillwell’s toughness and motor are viewed as traits that fit Miami’s culture.
