De’Aaron Fox on the criticism he got after game 4:
"It's not like people have my phone number and can call me. I don't watch those shows. It doesn't matter. It is what it is. You can't change it now. We're trying to move on from that"
Adam Silver wants to ensure you sign all the mid veterans so you can finish as close to 41-41 as possible. Whoever finishes the season with the most games closest to their gambling lines will be awarded the first overall pick sponsored by FanDuel
Because blowing up your future is totally worth it when u get the chance to…(checks notes)…contend for the PLAY-IN
Doing big things here, future so bright
.@BleacherReport believes the Nets could contend for a play-in next season spot if they trade the No. 6 overall pick for a star to pair with Michael Porter Jr 👀🍿
“With the NBA doing whatever it can to try to disincentivize tanking, a team like the Brooklyn Nets could be considering win-now moves.”
Jonathan Givony: “I kind of disagree with people who say it's a historic draft and like the depth of the draft and all that…I'm not seeing that, to be honest with you. I mean, after five, I think it's quite a normal draft. And after like 18, I mean, it could drop off a cliff.”
@BKNets613 I know I am not speaking for everyone on Marks, but for me specifically, I don’t blame Marks for the draft or the results of the lottery last 2 years
That said, I want him gone. Hes a mid tier GM and it’s been 11 years w 0 success. I want a fresh face/perspective
@notoriousbknets The fanbase, and those loudest voices, have changed pretty substantially since at least the clean sweep
Those w historical perspective are prob by far the minority atp
If the Nets mortgage their future ahead of schedule to win next year they are even stupider than I thought they were
And yet I expect it to happen 🤦♂️
@notoriousbknets I’ve been thru 12-70 and the no picks post Celtics trade era. Right now, no question there are FAR more assets and reasons to be optimistic for the future than either of those eras.
….and yet, I feel maybe more exhausted now than I ever have
To say this is a seismic moment for the Wizards’ franchise, which has been utterly bereft for generations, is beyond understatement. Whether it’s Dybantsa or Peterson: At last, for the first time since Peak Wall, Washington will have a must-see player to build around.
@APOOCH@NetsDaily The year I learned that it’s not just about winning the draft lottery….u also gotta win the year of the draft lottery
Duncan 3 years earlier and LeBron 3 years later…..Kwame the following year
The tragedy is that the Nets have not selected anywhere close to an elite level talent (perennial all star) in at least 35 years
I get the attempts to be positive w the scraps weve been dealt but im sooo over it….ffs can Nets fans have our guy for once
This right here in a nutshell the problem the Nets have had in their history….and why the draft lottery is so important
Nets not even listed here for a second…because historically they’ve had v little elite level talent. And almost none drafted
@PUBGIsrael@hoopshype Not even slightly. It’s been a combination of horrible mismanagement of assets (draft and otherwise), bad luck (again, draft and generally)
Since ive been a fan (im old) they have barely ever drafted in top 10. Never drafted a perennial all star. Its tough
