Grading the Brooklyn Nets Offseason | Page 5 of 12
Bargnani, 29, averaged 14.9 points and 4.4 rebounds in 29 games with the New York Knicks last season. He spreads the floor well and can provide the Nets with an added boost of the bench.
His problem: health and defense. If he can keep these two under control, the Nets may be able to resurrect the career of the former #1 overall pick.
Grade: C+
From the archive. The date on this note is 28 October 2015, which is the day it was written rather than the day it was last touched — nobody has touched it. It reads like something posted in a hurry because that is what it was.
Filed to Opinion. Anything that followed from this — and with a story of this kind something usually did — was filed to the same desk, which is why the desk reads better than the note.
By season it belongs to 2015-16, which accounts for 34 of the 70 pieces on that desk. Read next to the rest of that season it makes considerably more sense than it does alone, because most notes of this size are one line in a story that ran for weeks.
Why keep it at all, given the length. Because the address still receives readers — out of a search, out of a link in somebody else’s writing, out of a bookmark — and answering them with a redirect to the front page is worse than answering them with the short thing they actually asked for. Every address the old site had was kept when this one was re-set.
