Knicks traded Julius Randall to MN, landed Karl-Anthony towns, won a title. Nets Traded Kevin Durant, James, Harden, and Kyrie Irving, and have nothing to show for it save for some promise and hope. Yet another reason Sean Marks needs to go.
4 months before Leon Rose was hired
Knicks' top-5 leading scorers in 2018-19:
1. Kevin Knox (963 points)
2. Tim Hardaway Jr. (880)
3. Emmanuel Mudiay (873)
4. Damyean Dotson (779)
5. Allonzo Trier (695)
(Rose deserves a statue)
Nets drafted 5 Gs in the first rounds of 2 latest drafts yet somehow paying useless Terrance Mann $15M and $16M next season, and paying Keon Ellis $9M this season. Could have spent that money on power forwards or centers for defensive purposes? Roster construction scary bad.
@PodThorn@kkadafi191 Framing this a racial issue overlooks sport-specific, and role-based differences between GMing an NBA franchise vs coaching an NFL team. GMs are typically given several years to oversee long-term roster construction - NFL coaches face week-to-week evaluation
Sean Marks, at #6, drafted a player with lingering back issues who can’t play back-to-backs after having drafted 4 Gs the prior draft. Should’ve been enough to look elsewhere. Another poor decision. Fire Sean Marks.
Mikel Brown Jr. is OUT due to back injury management.
Seems unlikely the rookie will play B2Bs this year.
Curious whether this is a case of Nets training staff being extra cautious or if there's an ongoing issue...
