Adam Armbrecht welcomes friend of the podcast Matt Brooks to talk all things Brooklyn Nets basketball. Recorded on Monday afternoon following back-to-back wins, Matt and Adam look at the key talking points off the court for Brooklyn.

First, in what seemed like an all but "done deal" the ime Udoka hiring took big steps back over the past week. Matt Brooks outlines the reporting from key NBA voices and how the Nets inexplicably failed to see the potential blow back in hiring a coach with his own controversy.

Adam also highlights the six-point process the Nets have in place for Kyrie Irving to successfully return to the team - but the question remains, is he willing to do what the organization requires? Beyond the needs or wants, Matt Brooks also looks at what would be best for the team overall which includes the potential trade of Kevin Durant if not now than by the deadline or off-season.

Lastly, as is the case with the team, Adam and Matt discuss the team on the floor. Matt notes that Royce O'Neal, while a nice addition, is not a simple one-to-one replacement for Bruce Brown. The chang over to Jacque Vaughn brought the immediate insertion of Cam Thomas to the rotation which has the guys looking at how the interim head coach has performed and which players(if still on the roster) could shine across the 2022 season.
