The Brooklyn Nets are trying to create a culture of winning from the novelty of a new arena, city and logo.
The Nets agreed to acquire six-time National Basketball Association All-Star guard Joe Johnson and bring back point guard and Brooklyn native Deron Williams, who agreed to a five-year $98 million contract, ESPN reported. Three-time Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard remains a possibility to join the club as it moves to its new home, the network said.
