Aaron Gordon- high effort guy willing and able to add value off the ball. Benefits immensely from Jokic created space. Zion- fat, maddeningly incapable of averaging a double double despite tremendous gifts, fat.
AG was a bust in orlando until 25
he was called in defensively to save the generational 1 way center jokic
wemby is a generational defensive center in need of offensive help
its time to call in the bust the save wembys career offensively
he’s also 25 ready to be freed
Vecenie notes the following names have been linked to Brooklyn:
Darius Acuff Jr. (mocked here)
Keaton Wagler
Mikel Brown Jr.
Kingston Flemings
Nate Ament
Aday Mara
How would Nets fans rank those six names in order for Brooklyn?
Bro Hannes Steinbach could be rly fkn good bro only 20 years old… like he’s only gonna move way better & be much more athletic in 2-4 years
If he actually becomes a transition demon bro & just a crazy pick & roller & continues to develop his shot bro….
He’s gonna be insane
Nic Claxton is another starting-level center that will likely be discussed in trade talks as the Nets evaluate the roster this summer.
The Lakers, Clippers, and Hornets are teams worth noting as possible landing spots for the 27-year-old big man.
I guess I’m in the minority but, I’m really not upset about the Knicks whole playoff run.
It’s an all-time run, you simply have to respect how impressive it is.
I think I would be angry or upset if the Brooklyn Nets had been competitive. For example, I am a Bills fan and was LIVID when the Patriots made it back to the Super Bowl.
I simply don’t feel the same way about the Knicks being successful right now due to the fact the Nets are bad and not actively seeking a championship or really even a playoff run for that matter. Hope that makes sense. 🤷♂️
The baseball world needs to understand something important.
Juan Soto isn’t being criticized because he didn’t run out a routine ground ball to second. He’s being criticized because he’s currently the most hated player in the game.
He’s hated because he’s a Met. #lgm
He’s hated because he’s the highest-paid player in the sport. 💰
And yes, he’s hated because he’s Dominican. 🇩🇴
The Mets rotation is not the issue. The Mets “bulk” pitchers have a 2.61 ERA over the last 9 games. Don’t let the Brazoban starts fool you, the problem with Mets is they forget how to hit 4 times a week.
Putting myself in the shoes of a Mets fan I honestly don't think I could be bothered to care. My team is 15 games back of 1st with a negative run differential and the 2nd worst offense in MLB, the 160 ops+ hitter who spent time on the IL with a calf strain gets a pass idrc
He's going to be excellent. He was instantly the alpha on a team that was already stacked, he's a true, highly efficient point, and his vertical and first step are both elite.
Kingston Flemings
- Great mid range shooter
- Great facilitator
- Really good defender
- Really good 3pt shooter especially on more volume
- VERY Athletic
- ^ Extremely quick
- Great at getting paint touches
- Great at collapsing defense
- Great at playing in a system (not bad basketball)
- Great teammate
- High motor
- Unselfish
- 6’2.5 barefoot, not even that short
- ^ DeAaron Fox 6’2 barefoot
Kingston Flemings is basically everything you want in a lead guard. 💯
Only thing people can try to target is his height or low 3pt volume
1. Bigger than Fox & a MUCH better defender
2. Great 3pt shooter just didn’t need to take high volume at Houston. Knows he will take more in the NBA (via interview)
Nate Ament é um caso onde eu acho que ganhar peso fez mal para um jogador.
Pode ser impressão minha, mas em Tennessee ele pareceu bem menos móvel e fluido com a bola nas mãos.
A trade idea between the Nets, Hornets, and Kings:
• Nets
Domantas Sabonis
• Hornets
Nic Claxton
• Kings
Terance Mann
Josh Green
2 future second-round picks (via CHA)
Sacramento would also duck under the tax, save money, and gain cap flexibility.
In the Kevin Durant era, Jerami Grant was a long rumored target for Brooklyn. The Nets were even considering offers for Grant leading up to the 2023 deadline before being blindsided by Kyrie Irving’s trade request, which led to KD’s, and blew up the team.
But Grant might make some sense in Brooklyn this offseason depending on which way the Nets go in the draft. If Brooklyn goes guard or big rather than wing/forward, Grant, now 32, could be a Swiss Army knife forward next to Michael Porter Jr.
Grant is coming off a year in which he averaged 18.6 points per game on 60.9 TS% and 38.9% from three. With just 2-years, $70M remaining, Grant could be an efficient scoring, versatile defending, veteran stabilizer for Brooklyn while allowing them to maintain future flexibility.
So weird there are still Melo people who think he has some memorable NY legacy. They were a flawed pretender and he was the flaw. https://t.co/EDYnn1WRVG
