Anthony Puccio: Source told me last week that #Nets and Pelicans were exploring trade for Markel Brown, but clearly fell through.

While reminiscing about his idol, Nets rookie Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was interrupted by his teammate Markel Brown, who was ready to leave the locker room. Hollis-Jefferson demurred. “This is serious, Markel,” Hollis-Jefferson told him. “I’m about to cry, man. Chill.”
Tim Bontemps: Billy King spent about 10 minutes talking to reporters after practice about the Nets and the upcoming season. King essentially said because Andrea Bargnani & Markel Brown were healthy, Nets didn’t need to keep either Justin Harper or Dahntay Jones. King said he didn’t look at Bargnani’s injury history as a factor in roster decisions. Said team would deal with injuries as they come.
