Right now, they are the New Jersey Nets. That is set to change for the 2012-2013 NBA season.
Brook Lopez scored 26 points, Sasha Vujacic added a season-high 16 and the New Jersey Nets snapped a 10-game road losing streak with a 101-94 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
The Nets and Denver Nuggets are apparently back to the drawing board, structuring a deal that would send Carmelo Anthony packing to New Jersey, reports Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
The New Jersey Nets are feeling good after winning as many games this past week as they won the previous four weeks combined. Both those victories came on their home court, however, and now they're about to take to the road, where they've struggled mightily.
Devin Harris had 22 points and eight assists, and Brook Lopez added 16 points to lead the New Jersey Nets to an 89-82 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
Andrea Bargnani had 32 points and nine rebounds and Toronto beat New Jersey for the sixth straight time, 98-92 Friday night.
Coming off their first win in almost three weeks, the visiting Nets look to avoid a sixth consecutive loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night in a matchup of struggling teams.
Devin Harris had 29 points and nine assists and Brook Lopez added 18 points to lead the New Jersey Nets past the Washington Wizards 97-89 on Thursday night to snap an eight-game losing streak.
The Nets may be riding an eight-game losing streak, but they're likely feeling good about hosting the stumbling Washington Wizards.
Draft picks increase the Nets' chance of making a bigger trade, perhaps now having the pieces for a potential deal with Denver to acquire Carmelo Anthony.
Fueling the latest speculation was a report from Denver's ABC affiliate Channel 7. "The Denver Nuggets and New Jersey Nets come to terms to trade Carmelo Anthony," the station tweeted late Tuesday night.
The Houston Rockets will acquire swingman Terrence Williams from New Jersey in a three-team trade that gives the Nets two more first-round draft picks for potential use in a Carmelo Anthony deal, a person with knowledge of the trade said Tuesday.
Spencer Hawes scored a season-high 18 points and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped an eight-game road losing streak with an 82-77 victory over the slumping New Jersey Nets on Tuesday night.
The 76ers look to win for the sixth time in eight games Tuesday night when they visit the Nets, losers of seven in a row.
The trade rumor mill cranked up over the weekend as Carmelo Anthony played in New York against the Knicks, a team he reportedly has interest in playing for one day. "More of the drama, man," Anthony told reporters Monday.
