@ErikSlater_ @LockedOnNets What are your thoughts on the Nets drafting Nate Ament? His year at Tennessee makes me extremely nervous. Do you think he's a good pick at 6? Only if we trade down? A stay-away no matter what?

[Simon McCormack @simondmccormack]

@ErikSlater_ @LockedOnNets Of the guard prospects outside of the top 4 picks, do you have a favorite out of Acuff, Wagler, Flemings, Burries and Brown? Also who do you think the Nets would be most likely to pick?

The New York Liberty have re-signed 2024 WNBA Champion, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton!🗽

Stagger alert

[Simon McCormack @simondmccormack]

@_k_3424 @SteveLichtenst1 Totally agree Jordi pulled Egor early after his turnover in the first but let's see if the staggering continues in the second half. Seemed like Jordi put E back in earlier than usual

@SteveLichtenst1 @Ste No but he's staggering the pgs

@thomasjamespe @erikslater_ @LockedOnNets ... every other teammate is cheering their team , and he is sitting sulking on the bench. Watch how eagerly they go to pick him up when he's on the ground or how much they celebrate when he makes a shot. It's clear. You don't need to be a body language expert.

@thomasjamespe @erikslater_ @LockedOnNets If you've ever played pickup basketball with anyone like Cam you know he's incredibly unfun to play with. Constantly needs to the ball. Basketball is a team sport and Cam isn't a high-level, efficient scorer to justify all that usage. And watch him on the bench when ...

[Simon McCormack @simondmccormack]

@Netshead11 @erikslater_ @LockedOnNets Good point! I guess maybe this way would avoid the drama of telling him to take a hike or cutting him without needing his roster spot. But it's a fair argument

[Simon McCormack @simondmccormack]

@CTgoatt @NetsDaily The Hawks roster is designed specifically to complement Trae's strengths and hide his weaknesses. 3 and D wings who can cover up his deficiencies on defense and hit open 3s when he passes to them. Plus rim running centers to catch lobs from him. What would be a better fit?

[Simon McCormack @simondmccormack]

@NetsDaily If the question is 'how many games will the Wizards win THIS season with Trae?' his performance/team's performance this year IS very important. That's not to mention that his defense/shooting efficiency have been bad for longer than just this season

Clip on repeat 🔁

@BillSimmons @ZachLowe_NBA @HousefromDC I was pretty entertained watching the 'disgraceful' Nets beat your Celtics last night. They did it with the help of two rookies you 'dont have any interest in watching' so I hope you missed the game.

[Simon McCormack @simondmccormack]

@erikslater_ @LockedOnNets Do you think the Nets have ways, with the current roster, to improve their defense?

[Steve Lichtenstein @SteveLichtenst1]

From last night: With the #NBA trending towards athletic shooters, the #Nets mostly went in a different direction on #NBADraft night, to the disappointment of fans who waited a whole wasted year for it. Link:

@SteveLichtenst1 Steve this is absolutely one of your best columns! I laughed out loud at several parts, especially the paragraph referencing the 1950s and Norman Dale!

[Maybe Nets Time @MaybeNetsTime]

We draft 1-27 as if the Nets had each pick, explaining in agonizing detail how we would attain each of the picks. It's not to be missed.
