    Good this should make them tank even more. Theyre one of the dumbest teams in the NBA I cant wait to see them lose even more and give us that juicy pick.

    This could be their plan but if they were going to do it this way they are starting a few days too late. It looks like they would have made some deals at the deadline.

    Spending short term assets on a losing season is not wise whether or not one controls their own draft pick. Mikal Bridges is incredibly valuable right now as he's in his prime on a great contract. Every season he plays, he chews through value. His 2023-2024 season was probably worth close to a FRP and that value likely can't be recovered.

    As an aside Jacque Vaughn is among my favorite college basketball players of all time. So smart. #YouCare

    It most certainly does NOT bode well for the Rockets moving up in the draft. Nets started the season 15-16 and finished 6-17 leading up to the ASB and were completely flaming out. Any change to a new coach is an improvement.

    LOL, just by sheer force of his very strong personality, Kevin Ollie will get more out of that team their last 28 games. As a long term solution, he ain't it though.

    BKN will finish with the 7-9th worst record. KO isn't going to change that. It's all about next year.They'll hire a big noise, in an attempt to go the FA/trade route. And, they will tread water, before drowning or ending up with a similar record. We're sitting pretty. It's been mate for quite awhile.

    Maybe they tank the value of their picks and call up Houston when the season end to have conversations.

    It would depend on who they get but considering Nets seem like a **** show doesn't like they'd get a premier coach for them that can lead them to instant wins.

    Suns and Mavs picks which would be 22nd and 19th picks this year.

    A bunch of low frps ain't gonna amount to much IMO.

    They became decent by clearing cap and getting KD and Irving. None of the picks they got before mattered.
