Cleveland. For now.

Nah like next season. Or is it a pick swap?

Pretty sure they own it outright in 2019. I know the Celtics don't have anything to do with it.

 

[nick.]

I was told the nets had no lane to improve for the next two seasons minimum

the real young core

 

[carver]

Yeah I believe 2019 is when they finally end the madness

This year I think they got Toronto's pick

 

[nick.]

Billy King should be in prison for malpractice

[buc em]

How nik stauskas is still in the league is Beyond me

He's not an NBA player. Should be playing overseas right now.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

To be fair, they've been able to take advantage of the 2 of the oddest situations regarding young players that I can even think of.

How is that fair lol. 'Well to be fair they made some good moves'. They improving or nah?

Yes they are. But have we ever seen 2 top 3 picks basically be exiled after 2 seasons? Kudos to the Nets for taking advantage of the situation, but it's something that shouldn't have even been realistically on the table.

Former Houston Rocket player director Kenny Atkinson

 

[Moheezy]

The Nets have their pick next year right?

You talking about 2019? I believe so

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Russell and Okafor remind me of Devin Harris and Brook Lopez

Wow Never thought about this...but this is wild accurate.

Hopefully these building blocks entice some key FA's. It is New York after all.

Didn't they have Bennett for a short little while?

Who cares? Marks is a big reason I thought they'd improve. Every other team had just as much opportunity if not moreso to make the same moves. Goalposts getting jiggy with it now

 

[hardens beard]

I know one thing, the Cavs better get off that pick sooner than later

 

[JD617]

I was told the Nets would be decent last season and the pick wasn’t worth much, and it ended up being #1 overall.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

I know one thing, the Cavs better get off that pick sooner than later

New Orleans has to lose hope

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I was told the Nets would be decent last season and the pick wasn’t worth much, and it ended up being #1 overall.

So that's 1/3 for you.

 

[JD617]

Also, Snoop can kick rocks. You guys shouldn’t even let him hop back on the wagon.

 

[Moheezy]

the Nets actually have a better record than the Hornets. Wow.

Goalposts aren't moving anywhere. Marks (and Atkinson) have done a fantastic job by taking advantage of situations that shouldn't seemingly exist.

And no, every other team did not have as much opportunity if not moreso to make the DLo trade. Okafor, sure.

 

[JD617]

So that's 1/3 for you.

?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bro.. you're basically saying they're improving but only because they're making good moves and you didn't expect them to make good moves. 'Taking advantage of situations that shouldn't exist'. Like how Boston got them picks in the first place?? C'mon now

 

[B Sox]

No point in going any further because you can't understand something so simple.
