What would the Nets be worth if they were in Memphis or Portland?

@BucksLead Even if it’s coaching, the Bucks still went as far as waiving him. So it’s not just Doc Rivers this has to be a Cam Thomas issue. There’s something deeper than just blaming every coach he plays for
English
Well would you look at that, the Milwaukee Bucks did too or is it a different narrative now?
Bucks Lead@BucksLead
The Brooklyn Nets did
English
This was true 10 and maybe even 5 years ago but Dyson Daniels got a 100 million dollar contract and cam Thomas is on his way out of the NBA
It’s why the NBA is better than ever. Bad selfish players are no longer being rewarded for putting up 22 on 53 TS% for lottery teams

@EddiePresti_ @AtlasPharaoh Yes, it's bad to trade 2 valuable picks for a guy on a negative-value contract who needs an extension soon. And 30 mil per year? Laughable to think that would be the cost
English
@dqnets @AtlasPharaoh You will not sign a player better than KAT in FA.
I’m asking for 2 picks back the 29 & 31 1sts
You keep 27 & 28 swap
No tell me is that really that bad?
When it’s time to re-up KAT you probably can get him a 30M per.
He instantly becomes the best player on your team
English
The Brooklyn Nets will have 50M+ in salary cap space this summer would YOU 🫵 trade KAT for NYK’s 2027-2029-2031 1st round picks back?
English
@EddiePresti_ @AtlasPharaoh Trading picks for a 31 year old to try to build a “could make the play in” team?
English
@AtlasPharaoh Unless they want to tank, KAT is not a bad guy to build around for 2 picks
Him and a decent guard could make the play in, in the east and BRK has a ton of wings
English
@AdamOrecchio Don’t know if the shot ever translates but I think at the very least he’s a guy who can absolutely change and lead a culture.
I think he’ll be able to guard multiple positions well defensively and be able to work as an interior/short mid range scorer. Passing is positive too
English
Caleb is my least favorite guy in the top 8 but I’m still a fan.

#4 - Caleb Wilson, PF, UNC #34 - Juke Harris, SG, Wake Forest #45 - Milan Momcilovic, PF, Iowa State All three have been regularly linked to Brooklyn in mocks.

@Sexhaver999 @OfficialNetsFan 19 for shamet was an awful move. It was reported separately from the musa/bruce trade, even if it ended up getting folded in.
English
@OfficialNetsFan The Allen part was just bad timing. The 19th pick for Bruce + Shamet was a good move but they weren’t able flip Shamet for another first so they had to include JA
English
Marks would have to recreate June 25th 2025 with the cap space for me to be unhappy with a top 5 guy

If this was the Brooklyn Nets next year, how happy would you be with it from 1-10? Egor Demin AJ Dybantsa MPJ Santi Aldama (trade) Hartenstein (OKC retools to get cheaper, Sorber back) Traore Powell Dailyn Swain (Nets trade up for him in teens) Noah Clowney Day'ron Sharpe

@owen2tough @brooklynnets85 @netsful 6.5 year age gap between Shaq and Kobe. 12 years between Peterson and Giannis.
English
@brooklynnets85 @netsful I disagree. This will be the next Shaq and Kobe. Shaq was the number 1 option till Kobe reached his peak. But Kobe was still hooping even when shaq was number 1
English
@freewave3 I imagine Seth Trimble's 3PAr and AST% are too low to make him viable? I wish he could shoot
English
@bleedjetsgreen @erikslater_ All you can do is play the odds. The hawks and mavs have won the lottery, but the other three play in teams in each season didn’t and had very low picks.
It’s the surest (but not only) way to get young, high-end talent that can help build a sustainable winner
English
@dqnets @erikslater_ But it’s weak. Mavs made play-in last season and won the lottery.
Hawks made play-in and won lottery. And even with the 1st pick Risacher, taken 1st, there’s no guarantees even If you do get lucky, that the pick will work out. It’s a way shittier league today than it used to be.
English
Shots that Nets fans will remember if Brooklyn gets a top draft pick:
🏀 Paolo Banchero’s game-winning bank three at the buzzer
🏀 Saddiq Bey’s game-tying prayer three in the final minute in New Orleans
🏀 Hugo Gonzalez’s game-tying three in the final seconds of overtime
🏀 Kam Jones’ go-ahead three in the final seconds tonight
As was proven last year, one game can be the difference.
English
@bleedjetsgreen @erikslater_ Nobody enjoys it in the moment. It’s all about the idea of the ends justifying the means
English
@dqnets @erikslater_ I loathe the tanking idea. I think it’s stupid. It’s no guarantee. Far from it.
And NBA will lose a fair amount of fans because of it. Baseball, football and hockey don’t have “load management”. That’s NBA. Weakens the product.
But, maybe some fans like it.
English
@bleedjetsgreen @erikslater_ Last year the nets had #6 odds and picked 8th. Every single team that was worse than the nets had a better pick.
A major point of tanking with flattened odds is to raise the floor of the pick’s value.
English
@dqnets @erikslater_ Ah ha.
So, all the painful losses for nothing.
Got it
English
@bleedjetsgreen @erikslater_ It means the pick won’t fall as low as it would’ve otherwise
English
@erikslater_ And if they don’t get the 1st pick and win. A lottery, then what does it mean?
English
@JKTheCapper @Kazeem I don't think there's any confusion as to what Jordi was thinking
English
Brooklyn dead ass had no use for a just add water 20 point scorer

An incredibly Cam Thomas performance by Cam Thomas tonight. Microwave scoring fueled by nuclear fusion. 10/10 no notes.
