Where It All Went Wrong: Brooklyn Nets #basketball #nba #nbahighlights #nbadraft #brooklyn
where it all went wrong for the Brooklyn Nets. Well, this is where it’s a little more esoteric and not an exact date or moment, but I think it’s the disconnect between players, coaches, and front office and ownership with what the goals for this season ultimately were because the players and coaches wanted to win. Jordy Fernandez, a well- reggarded head coach in the NBA and amongst NBA coaching circles, looks to be their coach for the future in the remaining years. But he had his team playing hard, playing good basketball, winning games. Then conveniently, Cam Thomas, their leading scoreer, one of their best players, currently locked in a contractual dispute because he’s a restricted free agent and wants more money, gets hurt, having played 25 games on the season, and then Brooklyn can start losing games, which it seems is exactly what management want. Players tried, coaches tried, but the organization said, “No, no, no, no, no. We want as many draft picks as possible because playing in mediocrity and winning 30 or 40 games in this league right now with this coming draft is not something that we want to do. So that’s what the Brooklyn Nets did. They loaded up on lottery picks. They played a whole bevy of them at summer league. And now it remains to be seen how good the Brooklyn Nets will be. And do they have a player to which they can build around? What do they do with Cam Thomas? But where it all went wrong, well, it was the disconnect between the front office and their desire to not win right now and a head coach and coaching staff and players that want to start instituting winning ways.
For 29 NBA teams, the season was ultimately a failure. But where did it all go wrong?
We find out.
