Unfortunately for the Nets the Knicks are contenders which means they’re irrelevant even more than when the Knicks weren’t.No one cares about the Nets
Can he finally be fired
He’s been the gm for 10 years and has one playoff series win, why is he still the gm
Sean Marks should've been fired already. This team is such an unwatchable mess, it's ridiculous to even think he's the right GM to get the Nets back on track to relevance. Yet here we are…
Clippers don’t have many future picks and with the aspirations thing going on they might lose some , maybe the Nets can get the Clippers 5th pick as well. I’d be so happy with the 5th and 6th pick. Mikel Brown and Acuff going to the Nets id by hyped af going into next year with them and Egor .
Darius Acuff Jr.
Quick fixes have been tried by the Nets. Don't think any of the teams in the top 4 trading their pick.
Mitchell is going to the finals, that's a NO.
The only way is to trade 1 pick up via MPJ. or trade MPJ for a guy with potential.
Giannis would be a disaster.
MY ADVICE TO BROOKLYN NETS IS TO STUDY HOW OKC DID IT? STUDY HOW THE KNICKS ARE TRYING TO DO IT. To build a future championship team, you need to draft well and manage your cap well. If I was building a NBA basketball team, my first goal is to find as many TWO WAY players to go 9-10 players deep. See how good your roster is after season one, then try to trade for and sign star players. The main focus must be two way players. OKC did their roster right and that is why I'm not sure the my Knicks can beat them, however, we can play with them because my Knicks play both defense and offense, we got stars and a bench like OKC.
So San Antonio gets #1 Wemby then two years later get #2 Harper. The NBA is one giant Casino. The lottery is just stupid.
They can rebuild the same way they did when marks was hired and we had no draft picks. I don’t even know why we tanked this year
the fans wont take another tank. To hell with the trade market unless there trading 2nd round picks. There are no trades for 1st that are worth it. Free agency and draft. Build! period!
