havent seen anyone try this yet, here is my attempt at the draft logo #NetsWorld
love the classic ABA vibes, would love to see this get used for the '76 title anniversary
@NetsYearly I actually think we go into the season as is and try something big at the deadline. Banchero or Zion maybe. Im actually excited to see Drake play this year. Didn't realize he's now 6'7 in shoes and 212. Going to be a very interesting year. Just hope we do enough to keep Jordi
This $25 million cap space projection doesn't include the Julius Randle trade yet. They could spend that amount, then trade Nic Claxton for him.
The Nets would need to include another small salary with Claxton to make the salary-matching work. They're $917,000 short.
#Nets have made the choice that they prefer MPJ over other available all star level players. He's on an expiring deal and is familiar with Jordi's system. They retain their picks/flexibility, a less reactive approach while the rest of the conference panic trades. #NetsWorld
Sharpe, Ellis, Minott and Wagner have signed deals that end in 2 years or have an opt in for the second season. Clowney and Mann deals end in 2 years as well. Porter on an expiring.
Free agent Moe Wagner has agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN. The deal contains a mutual option guaranteeing the $19M while allowing either side to opt-in (not opt-out) along with having a conversation about doing a new contract next summer.

Julius Erving gets penalized for playing in the ABA - the exact inverse to how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gets heavily rewarded for playing in the NBA.
40-50%% of the world's best basketball talent was in the ABA. Yet, nobody ever mentions Dr. J’s 3 ABA MVPs while Kareem’s 6 NBA MVPs are treated as an untouchable pillar of his legacy.
If we are going to discount one, we have to contextualize the other. If both were in the league at the same time, it's entirely possible that they split MVP honors.
