Analyst Reveals The Brooklyn Nets’ NEXT HUGE Free Agent Move | What Fans MUST Know

Analyst Reveals The Brooklyn Nets’ NEXT HUGE Free Agent Move | What Fans MUST Know

[Music] [Music] Shawn Marx has been off to a hot start this off season for the Brooklyn Nets. Could he keep it going? Many fans want Cole Anthony to become a Brooklyn Net. Will Markx make that happen? That’s today’s topic right here on the Brooklyn Boys Show. Hello everyone and welcome to the show. Appreciate you all tuning in. I am your host Connor Long. Make sure you smash that like button and hit subscribe. Throw all your questions, comments, thoughts in the chat. We will get to those shortly. appreciate all of your support here on the program and joining us for the first time right here on the Brooklyn Boys Show. You guys all know him as the as the former host now of the Locked On Nets podcast. Longtime host of the Locked On Nets podcast. The great Doug Nory is kind enough to fit us into his schedule today. Doug, thanks so much for coming on. How you doing?
Yeah, good man. I saw you had Bob on yesterday. So that means it’s we’re at a last couple days. So I know that’s like a big shoes to follow even though he’s you know a generation generation above but um incredibly wise and that stuff. So always a tough one to follow and can’t you know no longer on lockdown on nets but like we said off air can’t quit the Nets. You can you can leave a podcast but you can’t quit the team. So that’s kind of that’s kind of the way it rolls.
Absolutely. No matter how poor they’re playing, no matter how incompetent the front office is, you’re just locked on. You’re you’re locked on Nets. That’s the that’s the bottom line. Whether you’re hosting locked on Nets or not, you’re still locked in on the Nets. And someone who’s been locked in on the New York media market is Cole Anthony. He’s from New York. He’s a Liberty fan. He was bought out by the Orlando Magic not too long ago. And a lot of Nets fans, including yourself, are seem to be intrigued by the possibility of the Nets adding Cole Anthony this off seasonason. So, my first question to you is, do you think this will happen? And if so, how does he kind of fit in to the Nets guard rotation? because they made all five of their first round picks. They selected three guards. You still have some veterans in there. How does Cole Anthony fit into the Brooklyn Nets rotation if they do make the decision to sign him? Yeah, I was like kind of half joking when I tweeted that Cole Anthony and the he got bought up by the Grizzlies because he was in that Bane trade. Um the uh but um the I was sort of half joking about it, but I do think after after the Cam Johnson trade, what you notice around this Nets team is that they have like just kind of no adults in the room. Like I, you know, we had advocated for a long time about like the the the advantage to keeping a guy like Cam Johnson was that he’s like a consumate professional. There’s they have a million young guys now and at some point you just do need someone over the age of 26 that’s played more than three NBA seasons sitting around in the locker room um to kind of just show you how business is done. And so I’m I like the Cam Johnson trade, which maybe we’ll talk about later, but ultimately when you’re looking at free agents, you kind of have to find this intersection of guys who maybe want to rehabil rehabilitate value a little bit, be able to play for like that next contract, maybe a show, like a show me kind of contract, and then also just be like a prof a professional. And Cole Anthony does check those boxes. It’s a little weird because they have about 900 point guards on the roster now after the draft, but I do think he sort of represents probably what like in a lot of different iterations would be the right kind of signing for this team. I just I acknowledge that the problem is it’s just like a crowded a crowded room for that specific position. But I don’t think there’s any doubt that they need they need some veterans. I mean, there’s nobody on this team anymore. It’s like Nick Claxton’s the consumate veteran and that guy gets kicked out of half the games. So, like I it’s a I think they’re walking into a slightly weird situation this year around like that sort of veteran status.
Yeah, I know it sounds, you know, a little cliche to to to say, you know, you need a veteran to come and mentor, but that’s really the the the reality for this Brooklyn Nets team. You look at all the guards they drafted. You look at the whole team now, like at least last year, even a guy like Bojan Bugdanovich, who didn’t play last year, but was still in the locker room, he still offered a veteran presence. Obviously, Cam Johnson was on that team, Dennis Schroeder was on that team for part of the year. The Nets have pretty much taken the mentality of screw all the veterans. We’re just bringing in a bunch of 20-year-olds here and we’re truly going to tear it down and rebuild it, which I’m which I’m okay with. But to an extent, I think you need at least one true veteran in the building. Call Anthony someone who’s able to come in. He could be a rotation guard for you. He can get you 10 points a night. 27 years old, still on the younger side, but has spent multiple years in the league. It’s not like Cole Anthony, some 33y old who’s on the back end of his career. This guy’s 27 years old. He can get you 10 points a night. So, I’d certainly be intrigued to the possibility by adding Cole Anthony. But my question is Sean Mars if he does make that move is where does he fit? Whose minutes is he taking? Is he taking away time from Jaor Demond? Is he taking time away from Nolan Trayori? Those are the questions I would have for Shawn Marks. But probably the biggest move the Nets have made this off season was shipping Cam Johnson, who we just spoke about, off off to Denver um to the Nuggets in exchange for Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2031 first round pick. Doug, it’s been over a year now really since we’ve been talking about Cam Johnson trade packages. Can Cam Johnson get shipped out of town? Do you think this was a hit for the Nets? Do you think the Nets capitalized on the opportunity to trade Cam Johnson or is it a little bit disappointing for you? Kind of grade this deal that Shawn Marks orchestrated.
Yeah, I think this was a pretty good piece of business from Shawn Marks when I first saw it. I think I’ve pretty much stuck with that. I I do believe Nets fans are always going to say that, okay, well, they could have gotten more. The the old the old adage of the trade is the trade that didn’t happen. Everyone loves the reference the trade that didn’t happen and the conversation that they have no inkling about. So, I think that my guess is that for a couple years now, Markx has held the line at something like two first round draft picks for Cam Johnson and any of the teams that were that could have like realistically added him weren’t ever really going to pay that price because it kind of just didn’t make sense. It was like too much to give up. Some of those teams like he wouldn’t people like trade him to the Thunder. It’s like okay, he wouldn’t even have started. So, like he like So, what are they going to trade two first round draft picks for a guy who’s not going to start? Like even the optics around it would have looked weird. So, I think that like the market for him, while teams wanted him, he’s just like not like a two or three first round draft pick kind of trait for a team. He’s like a swing player on a good contract that could help teams but like be their fourth best player, like be the fourth best player on a really good team, which is essentially what’s going to happen here in Denver. So, then when you get to this trade, I think this trade accomplishes two things. One, it brought back a bigger salary with an asset that almost my bet now is if Michael Porter Jr. is like they look at that contract as either flip them for someone else down the line or or that’s like a really nice matching salary for an actual superstar in two years, right? Like something like that because the money is so much more that you can actually aggregate salary a little easier if you wanted to go that direction. Like CAM at 20 was going to need you going to need to add kind of too much more money with 30 what is like Porter is like 37 something like that. 37 million that’s like much easier
40 next year. Yeah. Yeah. 40 and then it’s like a player it’s player it’s like non-g guaranteed stuff in the in the third year in the outy year. So um that’s like a that could be like a pretty enticing asset for another team to get if you were going to I don’t think this is going to be the case but like a Giannis trade it’s like okay you get an easier matching salary and you the team isn’t going to be on the hook for for it all. It’s just like in the NBA numbers game that number is like a really nice contract to have on the books if you were going to take a bigger swing. So I think like that part gives them some optionality and then the first round pick which I mean I’ll be retired I I don’t know where you’ll be college or something by the time it goes by the time graduating college by the time probably some kid in my grade who will be my grade level right now will be exactly yeah like some some yeah some kid out there is going to be big but it’s when Joic is like 37 Denver’s timeline is over and there’s like a world where that’s like a night that’s a pretty nice asset it’s way out years, but I think that just is another piece that like they could either, you know, hold on to. These teams never hold on to all these picks all the way. So, like it just gets flipped again. So, I just think they got back two nice assets for different reasons.
And long story long, I liked the trade. I think like that’s kind of what the market was going to be. And they accomplished a couple of different things even though it wasn’t like the, you know, two sick first round picks for Cam Johnson, which I don’t think was ever happening.
Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, the way I the way I look at this deal from from a Cam Johnson perspective is I like Cam Johnson. I have nothing against Cam Johnson. I think Cam Johnson’s a role player on a good team. He could help a team that is competing in the playoffs every year, a team that that’s competing for a championship. He just doesn’t fit the Nets timeline and what they’re wanting to do here by get younger, stockpile those picks, get young guys minutes, get their get their rookies in games. Cam Johnson doesn’t fit that timeline. I really like the return. I think Michael Porter Jr. is an incredible player. I think Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. shot the three ball at nearly a 40% clip last year. He’s a great slasher. He averaged seven rebounds a game. He provides defensive value. So, I’m a big fan of this trade. And I’m not a big Shawn Marks fan by any measure, but you got to give him his flowers when he does something well. And I think he did this trade very, very well along with um orchestrating the two new deals of Zire Williams and Don Sharp, both returning on uh two-year 12 million contracts. So Shawn Marks has had a nice start to the off seasonason. I will I I will say that of Marks. Um a move that a lot of Nets fans want to see come sooner rather than later and a move that I’ve been seeing fans starting to get a little worried of. I’m not worried yet, but Cam Thomas remains a restricted free agent. He hasn’t been locked up by the Nets yet. Doug, is it time to worry in Brooklyn that maybe Cam Thomas is interested by another team? Yeah, I actually said this for a while on the podcast that I just was always confused about what the Cam Thomas market would be and I think that the Nets basically just said go see what it is. Like we don’t know like I like how do you think the rest of the league evaluates you? We I’ve never thought they were high on him. They have never signaled that like he was a cornerstone piece for them or someone they wanted to build around. I think he was just kind of always there. If you just think about the whole Cam Thomas timeline, it’s like took forever to get any playing time. Took forever to be put in the starting lineup. Like he wasn’t in the starting lineup at the beginning of last not this previous year, the year before. He wasn’t even a starter for like the first
games he didn’t play that season.
That’s what I mean. Like
Yeah. Like he just like they they’ve never been they’ve never signaled at all that they’re just like it’s Cam Thomas season for the Nets. And so I think this and he gets injured at the end of the year right when he’s sort of like starting to maybe turn a corner with some of his vision and like looking to maybe not be all the time shoot first then he gets hurt and so I think they went to this market and said just like go see go see because you know you’re going to be a restricted free agent we’ll put you the qualifying offer in anyone can match it. I just don’t think there’s going to be a huge market for him. Like I just and I think he’s going to come back and they’re going to say you know look you it’s not us you know it’s not us it’s you. like we gave you a chance to go and have now restricted free agency puts players in a really bad position because the timing is all screwed up. Teams have to like sit there and sit with the money on their books if they make an offer and then like the the time the clock has to run out so it like stops you from making other moves. So restrictive free agency really does do the players pretty dirty. I think at the same time Cam Thomas has been a really polarizing player. There are fans out there that think like he’s a superstar, but if if even one team thought he was a superstar and they had any space, they would make an offer. But I just like don’t think that’s going to materialize. So I think that what’s I think they my guess is they said go see. They offered him some extension that was way lower than he wanted. Years and money is my guess. I’m not reporting that, but that’s my guess. They made some kind of lowball offer. He said no. They said, “Go see what the market says.” I think the market’s not going to say much, and he’s going to be got back here on just like a one or two year low money deal. And I think people are going to scratch their heads. I like I I think he will be back like almost for sure.
But I think I’m trying to remember what I said as a I think I said two for 30 is what I made a prediction in the offseason as like what the contract would be. And I remember people saying they thought that was crazy low, but I don’t think it is and I think you’re starting to see that like any team that wants the I know I’m going forever on this but any team think about all these rookie extensions that these these you know exactly where these Jabari Smith Jaylen Green like all these rookie extensions that end up happening you know exactly how the teams feel about these guys they lock them up early they never let them get to this point and you let him get to this point when you’re not that convinced and that’s I think what we’re seeing with Cam Thomas this is a bad year to be for for a player to be a free agent from a player standpoint because players aren’t getting the big bags. They aren’t making big money. You know, when when the offseason first kicked off, Doug, I had I and I was completely off on this. I had way higher expectations for what a Cam Thomas extension could look like. I was making the Anthony Simons comp of like a threeyear $80 million deal. Now, I think like it could go as low as one year $13 million. I think that’s what it could really look like as we’re seeing how free agency unfolds. I really think you have to lock up Cam Thomas though. I mean, I think this guy is such a great guard when he’s on the court. But I mean, he could shoot from anywhere on the court. I love Cam Thomas. I think you need to get him back on this team. And I think you do because the Nets like ro lead the league right now in cap space. They’re they’re running the league when it comes to these these signings. So Cam Thomas is a restricted free agent. It’s not like he was an unrestricted guy and they didn’t tender his qualifying offer. I do ultimately think he’s back, but I can understand why fans are beginning to get a little worried as we do see a lot of these restricted free agents ultimately return to their teams. Appreciate you all tuning in. Doug, Nory, Connor Long right here with you guys on the Brooklyn Boys Show. Smash the like button, hit subscribe. Uh about 10 12 minutes left with Doug here before we wrap. So get your questions, comments, thoughts in the chat. We’ll uh do a Q&A for the remaining time. So load up everything in the chat. Lou says, “Doug, come back. Personal time is overrated. Doug, a return to No, no. I did I did my time and on the nets I like you know my I won’t go forever on this but I’ve done I’ve been I’m 10 to 15 years into like the content game here and at some point you’ll see this too as you do it um you know it’s really it’s really hard to do that for that long and like do like typical family stuff like when you have a family it’s hard because like it’s every evening it’s you know and you just give away your evenings you give away standard vacations like that just the sports schedule doesn’t follow any of that stuff so I don’t know I I it’s not going to be coming back I’m happy to do this one. We’ll do some guest spots over the years. We’ll tweet about it incessantly leagues. I can never quit the tweeting. But uh the but in terms of getting back into the game now we’ve moved on from that.
Yeah, it’s appreciate it though. I appreciate it though.
Yeah, it’s it’s also tough to talk about the Nets too. It’s not like you’re covering the
That was probably the easiest part. I will say that was probably the easiest part. The easiest part is like not the content, it’s just the timing. Like it’s just the the timing is the timing after years. Last year, last year would had to been tough with no draft picks last off season and like not any the Mckel trade didn’t come till June. So last last offseason was to find topics last year.
Yeah, when you have a partner, it’s not the worst thing in the world. We could always mine the stuff. Um Adam and I think we’re pretty good at that. Adam and I got along so we could never we could always just kind of like
shoot the gap on just like talking forever about random stuff and then t even in tangential stuff. So it was that was never the hard part. It was just it was just a it’s like look you know get you know you do a podcast
everyone thinks it’s easy and then and it is like it’s not you know it’s easier than digging ditches but it’s you know after a decade of of every dinner and every evening and every night of you know of your of your life gone so you can watch games and do analysis and write about it and whatever. And I did I did NBA projections for the whole league for a decade plus um every single night. That’s just a lot. So anyway that’s all all love for the Nets.
Absolutely. Uh, where were we in the chat? Um, down under Dunker says, “Thoughts on the offseason so far. What would you rank it out of 10? Where is Clax going?”
Um, I think Clax stays because I don’t think there’s going to be a market. Although the Miles Turner trade um or the sorry, the Miles Turner signing to the Bucks probably opens up his market a little bit, but I think we know that Indianapolis doesn’t really want to pay and they’re probably in a gap year without Hallebertton. I think the market’s not going to really totally be there. I mean, I guess the Lakers haven’t signed a center yet, right? So, I guess like the Lakers are still out there. Um, and with Brook Lopez going to the Clippers, that probably hurts them a little bit. I know DeAndre Eaton’s still out there and they can sign him on like a super small deal because of the buyout. So, I think that Claxton had such a bad year. I like Claxton, it’s really underrated. He was like one of the worst net rating players in the whole league. Like it was like all the Wizards too.
It was it was all the Wizards guys and him like those were the and him and Noah Clowny honestly too. Um, were like the three like all the worst net rating oncourt net rating guys in the whole league last year. He had a really bad year and like just from the like the kind of silly mistake stuff around the fouls and ejections like stuff like that. It just like it all it all and he was injured. It just all add up to not that good. So I don’t I think he stays. Uh off seasonason so far I wasn’t people hated on the draft. I thought the draft was like mostly fine thematically. Um I can understand why it’s head scratches around like where some of the guys like some of the guys they took why it would be a little weird. Um but I thought theme-wise they stayed very consistent with the theme. young upside try to just like pinpoint guys who could be maybe superstars down the line especially in Igor like I know people are kind of all over the map on his trajectory but I didn’t hate it as much as other people did um so I would say the offseason so far has been pretty good like getting the Michael Porter deal on the books using some of that calf space I think it’s like a seven six and a half seven like but I I also just like don’t know who everyone kind of p people hated on the draft but I I failed to see like people that had like better draft boards for who was available for when the Nets picked. Like very few people came out with like crazy like where they missed on some crazy guy. Like I don’t think that was the case. The eighth pick ended up being weird. They would have taken any of the guys before him. I think before him and he just kind of was there. So I don’t know. Anyway, I like six and a half seven. We’ll say.
Yeah. Lou rather have a veteran center especially if we get rid of Claxom with Sharp being injuryprone. Would hate to have two fours and Timmy or Wolf as our starting five. If you start Drew Timmy as your as your center this season, you’re in a if he’s your starting center on any NBA team, you’re in a bad spot. I don’t think Drew Timmy makes this roster, frankly. I think what you’re looking at I think you’re looking at a four or five tandem to open the season of Don of um Dron Sharp and Nick Claxton or Noah Clowny. And Nick Claxton, I think Nick Claxton’s on this team and I think it’s either it’s one of either Sharp or um or Clowny to open the season at the power forward position.
I think that sounds right. All right. Well, okay. What do you think? I I was thinking like maybe they would play MP MPJ at the four. Could be like I don’t know. Yeah. H
Yeah, I guess so. Cam Johnson.
Yeah, that’s true. That’s true. So, um it was And then you said Clowny at the four. I feel like I’m forgetting someone else here. Um
Danny Wolf. So, they have right now the the centers and power forwards are Dron Sharp, Nick Claxton, Danny Wolf, Drew Timmy. Yeah. I mean, I put I originally thought it was going to be Demen, uh, Cam, MPJ, uh, Clowny, and Claxton was what I think I tweeted a couple weeks ago, but but I feel like Oh, it was Zyra Williams maybe that was played the four. I think that was like the other guy that someone threw out there. Um,
the final league to play every position last year on the court.
Yeah, I know. They And and I I loved watching him last year. Like he he was like such a like such a down in the like just digging down kind of guy. Like he picked up guys full court. He picked up like opposing ball handlers. so much last year like threequarters court and that was a really underrated part of the Nets defense I thought because it was so disruptive to people getting into like they just were getting into their sets so late a lot of times because he was just picking guys up all the way like Dame picked him up all the way multiple games when they played the Bucks like he just they just did that was probably so annoying he had to be one of the most annoying guys in the league like just because you’re just like not supposed to do that in the NBA and he kind of just did it.
Yeah, absolutely. All right, where were we in the chat? I know you touched on this a little earlier, but where do you believe the plan is for Camt career-wise, staying here long term or sign and trade midy year? What you you think he’s I know you said you don’t think the Nets are fully bought in. Do you think this is just a one-year thing where they keep him for one?
What evidence Leo, what evidence is there that they are bought in on him? Like they haven’t they didn’t offer I’m not disputing that at all. Yeah, I’m just saying like do you think this is the thing where they maybe sign him on cheap one year 13 to 15 million and we’re having the same conversation next off seasonason. You think that’s a possibility?
Well, the Cam Thomas cycle is everyone wants him to do something. You think he’s about to do it, something happens that stops it and no one’s opinion changed. Like if you loved him, you still love him and if you hated him, you still hate him because like there’s never a chance to like change the change the sort of like thinking on him. I think he’s not part of their future. I think he is, if I had to bet three years from now if he’s on the team, I’d say no. That’s my guess. I say he’s not on the team in three years. Um, and I know people don’t want to hear that and I could be wrong, but I just if you just look at, you know, I say to my kids all the time, it’s like, you can tell me anything you want. It’s your actions are what tell you the whole story. So, you can say you like Cam Thomas, but you didn’t sign him to an extension. You tended a qualifying offer. You haven’t signed him to anything. Like, they’ve never signaled anything. So, I’m just I’m in the mid camp where they’re not that into him and it’s just through their actions.
Nate says, “Does Doug see any similarities in Jord’s offense and the current Rick Carile offense with the Pacers? Even more so with the versatility on the roster.”
Well, they do like so many side to side actions, which is like the uh Pacers I think do a little bit too where they’re like super wing heavy and there’s just like no sort of gaps in their offense, right? And so the difference is though and the I mean they I mean the Nets ran so many DHOs’s last year mostly because like they didn’t have the personnel to get anyone else free like you have to run DHO and like a lot of screening actions when you don’t have a single ball handler that can beat anybody which without Cam Thomas they didn’t. I think you’ll see more where they’re not the same is that the the Nets were super slow in pace last year and the Pacers I can look it up real quick. I’m pretty sure the Pacers were maybe were the second or third fastest team in the league. Uh, I should have I could already had this. Um, I mean, they played with a lot of actually they were 11th. They were 11th. I’m just like I’m always thinking about like the hit aheads and the way and the way that they were just kind of like always just pushing the pace. They were 11th anyway. They were still faster. And so I think what you will see this year is I think you will see a considerable pace quickening of this team. Like I think that with the guards, with Deon, with Trayori, Trayori especially because like the downhill stuff is so fast. I think you’re going to see the Nets play at a much faster clip. They did not have any of the guys to do that last year. They they just had slow even their guards were slow. Shruder, DLO, I mean these guys are like not quick guards. Um DLO especially is not quick and then they had no other ball handlers on the team like Tren Watford played point guard at times. Um Toson play card at times. So I think this year you’re going to see a I think you’re going to see the pace really quicken and I think you’ll see some of the same screening stuff but they’re going to try to just they’re going to try to get downhill with a couple of these guys a little bit more. They they had no one that could get downhill last year. I do not want to see Tosani WMA touch a basketball court, not only for the Brooklyn Nets, but the Long Island Nets. I don’t think that guy could average 15 in the G- League. I think Tosani Wma is just flat out an awful basketball player. And when you have him playing 20 minutes a night for the Brooklyn Nets, it’s a flatout embarrassment. Doug, I know you got to get out of here. So, one more uh question before we let you go. Down Under Dunker says, “Who do you think of all the rookies will become a star? Also, who’s the dark horse to become a star?”
If Deon can shoot, he’s a star. That’s it. Point stop. like if the if the if the outside shooting gets there and I think like if you look at the mechanics you can talk yourself into it and so I think if his if the shooting comes around even a little now it has to come around a lot if the shooting comes around he’s a star his vision is insane he’s got the size he already can run high-end pick and roll like he can split defenses
open for everyone
can play a little bit above the rim a little bit above the rim like as opposed like you know difference like you know if you watch Josh Giddy, like Giddy was always below the rim. If you want to make him as a comp, it’s like, okay, he’s a little more, he can get a little more to the basket, but if the shooting comes around, he’s a star. If it doesn’t, he’s a total bust. Like, and so I think for for the eighth pick. So, I think he has star potential, and it’s around the most important thing you do in the league, which is shoot. And so, it’s not a it’s not a guarantee, but it’s clear to me like when they took him, I was like, I get it. I can see why you wouldn’t like it, but if you’re gonna be like six, what is he 67 68 with he has the best v best vision in the draft, best passing vision in the whole draft and he’s that’s like star that’s the stuff that stars are can be made of. And if he can’t shoot, then you can always play off him and it’s that’s not Ben Simmons light because he’ll always shoot better than that. But like um you know like with Ben Simmons who was like this kind of big guy who could but Simmons could always get downhill like a superpower early in his career was that he couldn’t shoot but like if you took a step back and played off him he would just completely turn the corner on you and just get to the rim. So Deon doesn’t have that speed but I think that the vision is elite and I think that’s kind of what stars are made of. So I think he could be and I think it’s not it’s far from a guarantee though.
