Good morning. Let’s basketball, briefly.

SO, YASIEL PUIG OWNS THE NETS NOW? The Nets and the Guggenheim partnership that owns the L.A. Dodgers are talking about something, according to NetsDaily. The site says the current idea is a “combination of assets,” which would add the Nets to the Guggenheim portfolio while maintaining control for Mikhail Prokhorov and his Russian exec crew. Yahoo!‘s Adrian Wojnarowski says other teams believe Prokhorov is looking to sell outright. We’ll see. Magic Johnson might be back in the NBA very soon.

Here’s a good Q&A on the situation from NetsDaily. Masterful scoop for them, by the way.
