Brooklyn Nets take Giannis and the Bucks right to the wire
The Brooklyn Nets gave Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks a run for their money on Sunday afternoon, getting some late looks that could have put them over the top. But some key sequences had the game slip away in the end. Not the worst thing in the world from a draft pick standpoint, but still a testament to how hard this team plays night in and night out. The Locked on Nets guys look at the game, the final plays, and more.

All I can say it was a great game. Ben is dog shit as per usual. Did not attempt a single field goal or attack the basket. Scared little bit3h is what he is. But other than that Schröder and Clax had great games
'Young player with some matching money is good enough?' That is way undervaluing Cam (unless we are talking about about someone like Wembanyama). CJ is one of the best high-volume, three-point shooters in the league. He is a solid defender with an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio. He is signed for two more years on a great deal. Most competitive teams are trying to win while staying under the second apron. This year CJ's salary is 12.5% of the second apron, for the next two seasons, he's ~10% of the projected second apron. Where else can a team trying to win now get a player as productive as Cam for three playoff runs on a deal like this? Kyle Kuzma is on a similar deal but is not a good shooter and turns it over way too much.
Good teams don't have good draft picks today, but they could in the future. Trade him for a bunch of future assets only if there is a good deal. Or better yet – keep him! Trade DFS and DS as they are on expiring deals and increase minutes for developmental players like Whitehead to position for next year's draft. But do not trade CJ unless it is a great deal for Brooklyn.
Nets need to trade Dennis Schroder and our 2 second round picks from 2025 to Houston for Jalen Green.
Yeah lets trade our picks to Philly for Joel Embiid. Claxton and 4 first round picks for Embiid. No F _ _ king Tank losers..
No injuries and we beat the Bucks. Injuries are killing the Nets..
Cam isn't old at all, they should keep him on the roster along with Dennis
Great effort by the Nets but you want the nets to lose and they did just that. GOOD
Don't trade Cam
Nobody wants Embid
I’d rather loose then put embid on team
