Yormark described the development as "a new radio deal we are currently finalizing. This deal will provide better prioritization for Nets games on a major station, more year-round programming with our players and coaches, additional promotional outlets." Does that mean a show for Coach Kidd, a perk many NBA coaches have? NetsDaily

In a discussion Sunday night, Avery Johnson revealed a bit of Nets history we would like to un-hear, un-know: that the Nets were thisclose to getting Danny Green. After the Spurs' win over the Heat, Green's' shooting was a hot topic on First Take, hosted by Stephen A. Smith. Johnson took the opportunity to talk about how good he thought Green was during his tenure at Nets coach. NetsDaily

AJ: "I remember with the Nets, Billy King and I, we were trying convince Pop to cut Danny Green so we could bring him at the time to New Jersey." SAS: "You were trying to hoodwink Pop? AJ: "YES!" (all laugh) SAS: "Oh my goodness! You were trying to hoodwink Pop." AJ: "And Pop said if he has one more bad game we're going to cut him and he made a bunch of threes in this one particular game and he kept him." If so, sounds like January 7, 2012, when Green hit 3 of 4 three pointers on the way to 24 points in 33 minutes. NetsDaily

Thibodeau likes bringing in players he has history with, but that won’t be the case with former backup guard C.J. Watson, who opted out of his deal with the Brooklyn Nets this week and will be a free agent. There’s too much stagnant water under that bridge. Chicago Sun-Times

The same determination Reggie Evans puts into trying to snatch another rebound, he demonstrates off the court with his children, trying to be the best father he can be. Evans is the kind of father Evans never had. As he puts it, "There's not a week that goes by that I don't think about my dad." Growing up in Pensacola, Fla., Evans hardly knew his father, Reginald, who was incarcerated for selling drugs. Instead, the power forward was raised by his mother, Janie, in an arrangement that is becoming all too common in the United States. According to the latest census data, more than half of all African-American children are being raised in fatherless homes. ESPN.com

In Jay-Z's first extended video since he agreed to sell his interest in the Nets, he repped Brooklyn by wearing his Mitchell and Ness leather cap. The video, shown at halftime of Game 5, was a three-minute commercial for his new album, out next week. Black and white (natch), the commercial showed Jay-Z working with his band on the music.
