Toast of the Town: Nets showing off their new and improved roster
Though they stopped well short of the well-chronicled — and at times nauseating — posing and preening that Miami’s self-proclaimed “Dream Team” orchestrated two summers ago on South Beach, the Brooklyn Nets did their share of showing off over the weekend.
