“I’m just saying. Erving. Irving,” the mercurial All-Star point guard turned defense attorney said, making his case, to no avail. “How do you spell his name again?” Pinson responded, hoping that Irving would realize how silly he was being with the Dr. J chatter and just…stop. “He’s with an E,” Irving said, acknowledging the difference, “but how do you say it?” Irving smiled and nodded. He wouldn’t relent. His teammates wouldn’t, either. Laughter ended the discussion.
Nets Daily: From NetsPR: The Brooklyn Nets have assigned Nicolas Claxton, Dzanan Musa and Theo Pinson to their NBA G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. @LongIslandNets play two home games this week so the three players will get minutes and be close by.
Bobby Marks: Brooklyn now with a projected $135M in salary in 2020-21 after the Taurean Prince extension. That figure could increase to north of $145M when you factor in possibly 2 first-round picks and the team/non-guaranteed contracts of Theo Pinson, Garrett Temple and David Nwaba.
“It was basically player-driven,” Theo Pinson told The Post at a Nets youth camp at Hellenic Classical Charter School in Park Slope. “Kyrie was out there, and we wanted to get with him, so we just all went out there and just worked out together.”
Considering the considerable turnover on the Nets roster — all the aforementioned players except Pinson, LeVert and Dinwiddie are newcomers — it’s auspicious that they’re working out together to develop chemistry. It’s even better that it’s both player-driven and organized by Irving. “It’s good. It gives us a little head start going into camp. Just getting not just on the court and [basketball-wise], but off the court also: playing ‘[NBA] 2K’, going to dinner and stuff like that. It’s been fun,” Pinson said.
