We recorded around 10pm right after the Nets-Pacers game. Information on Jeremy Lin's injury was sparse so what we did was we began the pod talking about what stood out (good and bad) from the Nets-Pacers season opener. Then around the 18 minute mark we talk about what the future may hold for the Nets if Jeremy Lin's injury is as bad as it looks. We'll be back early next week with more as we get more information.

The Glue Guys talk with former Nets GM Billy King about his time with the team. We spent a good bit on the Garnett-Pierce trade: how it originally started with just Pierce and mushroomed into more, why the deal was made, what Garnett and Pierce brought to the team, why the Nets ultimately did not re-sign Pierce, and Billy's biggest regret involving the trade.
Other topics covered include: Nets attempted trade for Chris Paul before Deron Williams, the Dwightmare, the reasoning behind the Gerald Wallace trade, clashing with Jason Kidd, working with Prokhorov and Billy's thoughts on what Marks and Atkinson are now doing with the team.
