🚨 New Bleav in Nets 🚨
I analyzed Brooklyn’s recent success and the tank vs. play-in debate the fanbase finds itself in:
🏀 Are the Nets play-in bound?
🏀 How will it impact draft position?
🏀 Cam Thomas’ return
🏀 Nic Claxton + Trendon Watford

Nic Claxton is averaging 13 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.8 blocks since Nets waived Ben Simmons (5 games). Playing roughly 30 minutes per game.
He averaged 9.8 points, 7.2 rebounds & 1.4 blocks in 27 games with Simmons this year. Played less (26 minutes per game).

Watch Nets’ Nic Claxton with a putback game-winner to beat Sixers
The latest sign it’s time for the 76ers to shut it down for this season and let Joel Embiid (who was benched for the entire fourth quarter) get healthy.

Some Sixers fans may need someone to blame for that… how about Colangelo for simply giving the Nets the pick they used to draft Nic Claxton to offload Okafor? – 9:58 PM

Tyrese Maxey hit a corner 3 in transition to tie the game at 103, but then Nic Claxton hit an incredible tip-in at the buzzer to give Brooklyn the 105-103 win.
The loss is the Sixers’ 7th straight defeat as they fall to a season-worst 16 games below .500. – 9:57 PM

More on this storyline
Nic Claxton’s layup beat the buzzer — and beat the 76ers, 105-103, on Saturday night in a play he called one of the highlights of his career. The Nets center put back a Keon Johnson miss, an acrobatic shot that just barely beat the clock and subsequently saw him “mobbed” by Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and the rest of the Nets before a stunned sellout crowd of 20,431. “Originally, I didn’t even know that I did beat the buzzer, so I was just trying to process everything, and I was just looking in the crowd, just looking around. And I was like, ‘I think it was good.’ And everybody came and just mobbed me. It was a great feeling, a great feeling,” said Claxton. “It’s definitely top three [moments of my career]. All the years I’ve been hooping, it’s definitely three or two.” -via New York Post / February 23, 2025

However, the Lakers are not finished working through potential trade scenarios now that Anthony Davis is no longer anchoring the Lakers down the middle. Sources have indicated to RG that the Lakers are pursuing center options before the deadline. Some trade candidates include Nic Claxton, Robert Williams III, Jonas Valanciunas, and Jakob Poeltl. -via Responsible Gaming / February 5, 2025
