We Must Be Nets

Not actually Butch Beard. Tweets about all things Brooklyn Nets — someday all of the suffering will be worth it.

@NetsDaily Random question but do you see the Nets updating/redesigning their normal uniforms? Love the B logo and black/white colors, but the uniform set could use some upgrading. I see teams like the Timberwolves and Rockets doing it, which is why I’m asking now 🤔

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

Karim Lopez and Nate Ament are working out for the Nets today, Lopez said on my podcast. Two potential lottery picks are going head-to-head for Brooklyn, who have the 6th pick.

Paid $10K for seats and had to wait 3 hours to get in for an L

[The Brooklyn Way @Jersey2Brooklyn]

If Sean Marks wants to make those five draft picks look better next year then draft Darius Acuff!

A TRUE POINT GUARD!

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

Knicks fans, Nets fans, fans of all NBA teams can agree (except maybe the Spurs) — this sucks. Nobody wants him there anyways.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to Donald Trump’s attendance for Game 3, per Knicks PR.

@PatelWhiz @NetsDaily They haven’t tried this yet

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

The Nets don’t need to reinvent the wheel or do something crazy. They need to build a consistent winner. A team that is in the playoffs for 7-8+ consecutive years. Develop homegrown guys into stars. Make a big splash when the moment is right. Establish an identity.

[Anthony Puccio @APOOCH]

Nets fans… You good?

[DreamLeaf 🌱🌻 🍉 @DreamLeaf5]

Wow it’s almost like “tough on crime” doesn’t actually work and you have to address the root causes

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

@Real_JPIII @RealNBAHotTakes @TheDunkCentral Not a tool though lol

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

Sadly I think this is what’s going to actually happen

[Connor Long @connor_long15]

SOURCE: The Brooklyn #Nets’ interest in Nate Ament at No. 6 appears to be gaining legitimate traction.

One league source described Ament as a “polarizing player,” though also someone who could be an ideal fit alongside Egor Demin due to the duo’s combination of size and shooting ability.

A few weeks ago, a source described Ament as a “dark horse” option for Brooklyn at No. 6.

Since then, league buzz surrounding the possibility has only continued to grow, making him a name worth monitoring as the draft approaches.

@Real_JPIII @RealNBAHotTakes @TheDunkCentral Is height a tool though?

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

@RealNBAHotTakes @TheDunkCentral If anything, Acuff is much more similar to Dame than Peterson. Peterson is more like Beal or Brandon Roy

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

The Nets are a blank canvas right now. Pretty much anyone makes sense for this team. Reaves would average 25+ PPG in Brooklyn while creating for others as well. Not my first choice, but I wouldn’t be upset. He’s a dog. I highly doubt that he’s leaving the Lakers though

[Nets Insider @notoriousbknets]

Austin Reaves makes zero sense for the Brooklyn Nets.

A+ Rage Bait

[7even @OnyxMcGrady]

I have been thinking about this for a while but if you swap Jalen Brunson with Cam Thomas and give him the same green light and playoff competition.

I think the Knicks still make the finals, it’s a shame how the media perspective has one out the league.

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

@notoriousbknets 100%. Utah Deron was an awesome basketball player and a true star. If not for the injuries once he got to the Nets, he’d probably be a HOF’er

[We Must Be Nets @WeMustBeNets]

Ironically, the player I’ve seen Acuff comped to the most: Deron Williams

[Mitchell @mmac_42]

There are some concerns about his size (although the crazy wingspan helps alleviate some of that) and the defense, but Acuff has the potential to be a transformative offensive player with his scoring ability and next-level passing. He could turn the entire Nets franchise around.

[Mitchell @mmac_42]

Not saying he’ll reach the same levels, but Brayden Burries reminds me a lot of Devin Booker. Very talented guard who was underutilized on a stacked college team. Incredible rebounder for a guard and has the size and speed to be a multiple time All-Star with good two-way ability.

[Mitchell @mmac_42]

Mikel Brown Jr. has a little bit of that same upside. He’s bigger than Acuff though, but could be a three-level scorer with the chops to carry a team offensively as a lead guard. I think the back injury has almost made him underrated now. His upside is through the roof.

My #Nets Draft wish list:

1. Darius Acuff Jr.
2. Mikel Brown Jr.
3. Brayden Burries
