@Rasheed The Nets made a commitment to Nic by signing him to a 4 year contract a couple of seasons ago. $25 million this season, $23 million for the 2026-2027 season and around $21 million for the 2027-2028 season. I don't think it's in the plans to trade him or bench him for Sharpe or Wolf. We just have to live with him for now. Stability is one of the goals for the Nets this season. Benching or trading Nic would be counterproductive to that.
Lets face it, roster construction will be a work in progress for the remainder of the season. Plotting strategy before the roster have the right players would be analogous to putting the cart before the horse.
@Rasheed Neither Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey played good last night yet you single out Khaman Maluach for not looking good. I'm a Khaman defender. He just turned 19 last month. I like his potential and trajectory since he first picked up a basketball as a teen-ager. Ace turned 19 in August and Flagg will turn 19 in December. Instead of looking for the positives in Maluach's game, you're focused on the negative. As a basketball analyst, I think you're better than that. I'll remind you that these teenagers are playing in preseason games with a bunch of new players that're battling for a roster spot. They aren't expected to look like veterans playing in a system of familiarity. It wouldn't be fair to lever harsh criticism on any of them unless they didn't show any progress after this season. Patience is something that you'll eventually master with time. Watching the growing cycle of your children and teaching them, as they grow up, will be the biggest contributor to that. I been there. lol
The main reason Danny Wolf and Ben Saraf are more NBA ready than Egor Demin and Nolan Traore could be attributed to their background before they were drafted by the Nets. Danny played 3 years in college and Ben played 3 seasons for an Israeli professional basketball team. It remain to be seen how Drake Powell pan out this season but reports on him are positive.
Like the British Empire and the Soviet Union, the United States is a declining empire. China is the largest and most powerful emerging empire presently. They've modernized and industrialized their country at a rapid rate. They have 300 million and growing NBA fans. They've gotten a bad rap as a destination for NBA players. Players shouldn't succumb to the negative brain washing by America for wanting to play in the Chinese Basketball league. Players should consider them as an option for playing.
Bk Noalen is trash he has no bag mpj and tmann gotta go so our rookies can develop they shouldn’t be starting taking mins that are important for our future otherwise why did get all these rookies if we not going to develop them I say sit the vets let the rookies play we don’t owe anything to these players let them rot in the bench for all I care
@BKNYHOOPS Pre season is more so for GMs and coaches to see what they want the lineups to potential be who they want on the roster who should be cut who should stay and to start to build/develop chemistry with the newly acquired rookies really pre season is just a test run we can’t keep overreacting to such small sample sizes BK wait until the regular season starts to see how wolf and those guys look coming off the bench first
This is total nonsense. Just imagine Wolf starting against Giannis, Bam, Embid or KAT. Dude this can't even be taken serious. We're not even talking about going out west to play. The fact that I didnt even have to mention the obvious flaw, slow as hell on defense and turnover prone. This had to be a pun or a joke subject.

@Rasheed All things considered, it was a very good show.

Brooklyn brass NEEDS to let the prospects like Wolf and Powell get ACTUAL minutes 🧐….
Claxton aint coming off bench. He got 4 year 100 mil deal.
Trade claxton at trade deadline. He aint n worth that deal.
