Brooklyn locker room has become volatile in recent weeks. Despite success, there is animosity between players due to last LCs poor performance. There seems to be and underlying tone of blame and unhealthy competition that is deviating the team from the team's goal of getting back to the big game and coming out the Victor. Ownership has opened the door on trades for many players and is willing to test the trade market. Ownership was quoted as saying "couple bad apples can ruin the bunch" during a press luncheon for a non league affiliated function.

A league source who requested to not be named stated "bruised apples still make great apple pie." Sounds like Brooklyn is more interested in the apple turnover though.
