@ksenguptaa You can also make legit excuses for like 4 of those losses.
Bucks,Heat were in first 5games. Nets tried new rotations w/ no Kyrie and Clax out w/ sickness.
Both games vs Bulls were on 2nd night of Back2Back vs well rested Chicago team that didn’t have to travel for either game.
@NetsDaily Let’s be real. You can replace 1/2 the Roster w/ some guys off the street.
Brown,Brembry,Carter are 3 redundant undersized “Defensive” Guards w/ no Offensive threat.
Griffin,Millsap,Johnson are 3 ugly redundant PF’s that need to play mediocre Small Ball C and still aren’t good.
@LucasKaplan_@NetsDaily Clippers were playing mostly 2nd-3rd Unit w/ 10day contracts mixed in.
No excuses but Nets kinda treated it like mid season game while LAC were more desperate since their players needed to prove themselves more.
Similar to how the Knicks last year kept catching teams off guard.
@NetsWorldKing @JeriTsaiNets@BillyReinhardt Nets don’t get Harden without trading LeVert/Allen. Re-signing was never an option.
Din was UFA and Nets helped him out for his years of service and created $11m trade exception.
Kyrie was expected to play so paying $64m per year for Din between Salary/Luxury made little sense.
@thezimmaman@NetsDaily Also this is the regular season. Those players looked good in LA then the postseason came and things were a bit different for them.
Dinwiddie also goes through this. At times he looks amazing then at other times he gets tunnel vision and earns the nickname “Dimwittie”.
@thezimmaman@NetsDaily You realize Dinwiddie would have cost around $74m this year right?
For Nets every “$1=$4” in taxes.
Nets would of had went from a $40m Luxury Tax to $114m just signing Din.
Not including the $5.9m Tax MLE and other players needed signing.
Nets also had Kyrie/Harden then.
@EricPincus Don’t the Nets also have the 2yr Bi-Annual Exception starting at $3.7m as well as the $5.9m Tax MLE?
From my understanding every team except Lakers, Nuggets, and Bucks still have it open because those 3 teams used it last season.

@DiamondFanAct @_JD2020_ @Zeraxc@NBA_Math Nets have the 27th pick this year plus 3-2nd’s.
Brooklyn could draft a Player and trade his Player Rights to a team before he signs as a Rookie.
That’s a way to bypass the rule against trading away back to back 1st’s since Player Rights aren’t considered the same as Picks.
@jayzthefirst@NetsDaily Shamet was a waste of a 1st.
Could of had Saddiq Bey but traded for that bum Shamet instead.
Dude couldn’t hit a 3 all season outside of a handful of games and couldn’t even get on the court during the majority of the Bucks series.
@NetsDaily@PageSix Fav memory of Nets last home game.
In nosebleeds a male Fan a few seats down was dressed as Kim K. while holding a sign that said.
“I’m sorry Kris. Please take me back.
❤️ Kim K.”
So stupid but funny at the same time.
@NetsDaily Harrison Barnes would likely have been drafted.
I remember a graph being put up during a game before the Crash trade showing the Nets SF depth was so bad it was like playing 4 vs 5.
Crash was just physically shot because of his play style. Dude couldn’t even make an open layup.
@ARobbNJ@NetsDaily Timberwolves would most likely move East.
They travel the most in the NBA since teams in their Division are so far away. They’re so much closer to more Eastern teams by comparison.
Pelicans and Grizzlies Divisional opponents in the West are much closer geographically.
@Kyrie25101635 @BillyReinhardt Believe if the Nets receive a “Player” back then they’re Hard Capped and lose Tax MLE (3y/$18m) and Bi-Annual(2y/$7.6m).
If Nets receive Draft Compensation (like 1st-2nd) I don’t think they’re Hard Capped in a Sign and Trade.
Plus Nets would get a $20m+ Trade Exception I think.
@BBreaker13 @NetsDaily Cav’s traded him a week after the 3team trade for Harden.
Only reason he was traded was because he was upset his locker was given away while he was away from the Cav’s.
Nets could have made a trade offer after the fact since they still had 3 open roster spots + 2nd’s to trade.
@RobelTekle17@BXJR3311 He’s an Unrestricted Free Agent this Offseason.
If Nets know they’re not going to be able to re-sign him then it’s better to get something before he walks and Nets get nothing out of it.
Who knows what $ Din will be offered with no big FA’s and teams w/ a bunch of $ to spend.
@Realjasmoc @rbchristopher7 @NetsDaily@SteveNash@blakegriffin23 Lin/LeVert had freak knee/ankle injuries from their bodies landing oddly.
D’Lo had loose bodies in his knee and Kyrie is often injured since Duke.
None are the Nets fault.
In 2018 Carroll had what appeared to be season ending knee injury and credited Nets for a 3 week return.
@Realjasmoc@alderalmo@NetsDaily Nets still have 2 open roster spots.
Have to fill 1 spot by March 22nd and trade deadline is March 25th.
Early April is deadline for teams to sign Playoff eligible players to rosters.
Nets likely sign a few 10 Day deals to keep the 14 of 15 necessary roster spots till then.
@JoeImperial24 @NetsDaily Shamet was a terrible trade but in the Offseason the Nets had Center Depth.
Allen-Jordan-Claxton and even Perry on a 2way. Plus Green as Small Ball C.
Allen was traded, Claxton is hurt, Jordan is washed up, and Perry was a late 2nd Rd Rookie who obviously needs some time.
