48 Minutes "Two-a-Days" Nets and Warriors

0:00 ... Show open, introduction of the panel, and explanation of the "Two-a-Day" series.

1:10 ... Brooklyn Nets discussion ... The good news for the lowly Nets is that this will be their 50th NBA season after joining the league as one of the former ABA teams who joined the NBA for the 1976-'77 season. But that may be it for good news this season in Brooklyn.

2:37 ... World B feels the Nets are not "tanking," they're "rebuilding."

4:06 ... Cam Thomas returns to the team on a "lowball" qualifying deal after averaging 24 points last season. Will he be a problem as he looks to score a lot in hopes of being paid next season? Nic Claxton is one of the few players on the team with trade value, so perhaps he may be moved to a good team before the trade deadline.

6:06 ... There should be plenty of good seats available at Barclays Center this season for fans whose favorite teams are playing the Nets!

6:41 ... Golden State Warriors discussion ... this could be their last chance to make noise out west as they have an aging team with key players like Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green in their late 30s. Butler will need to score more consistently to help Curry with the scoring load if the team is to approach 50 wins.

9:02 ... Bruce feels the Warriors are the most "unsettled" team in the league, mainly because of the Jonathan Kuminga free agency standoff. Bruce feels that Kuminga may be risking alienating his teammates since the Warriors can't move forward to fill out their roster until he makes a decision on how much money he'll be willing to accept this season. This is affecting players like Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton whose personal situations are impacted by Kuminga's saga.

10:38 ... Ross feels Kuminga may be traded (before the February deadline) once his contract is settled. Bruce feels like the age of the Warriors increases the potential for injuries.

13:19 ... World B feels like the Dubs really need Kuminga because he is a young player with talent.

14:54 ... Ross wraps up the show and teases the next show.
