    No. That’s from last year.
    Rockets own pick
    Nets pick

    Traded Detroit pick last year for Sengun
    Portland pick was acquired last year (Garuba)
    Milwaukee swap was last year (Christopher); they do get Milwaukee’s 2023 pick

    We still have the Miami swap, right? But not likely to have any use.

    your info is inaccurate. MIL is next year. POR and DET picks are Sengun ( i think that is right) that may have been the DET and WASH pick though not sure.

    Ah, thanks for the clarification, just pulled that up from a website. Things are always changing.

    So we are looking at 1 Top 3 and a Mid to Late First Rounder. Still plenty of talent to pull in.

    Kyrie will only be able to play in 1 of the next 7 games for BK, and that game is at Milwaukee

    they do play Sacramento next at home, so maybe they can pull that one out, but if this L streak starts hitting 14 or 15 games while Kyrie is at the crib burning sage and posting on IG, that locker room might explode

    The first pick has at best a 50% chance of top 3 (each of worst three has identical odds, then it falls off), with the other 50% chance of being between 4-8 depending on where we finish and how many teams get lucky.

    People who are just assuming one of (much less our choice of) Jabari, Paolo or Chet have at least a coin flip chance of being disappointed.

    Will it really explode? I mean we are talking about a roster of hasbeens and gleaguers that should be thankful they are even in the league. The gleaguers are probably happy at the opportunity to showcase themselves while the vets are reminiscing the good ole days. I doubt anything implodes. Simmons won't really feel part of this team until next year.

    well the only reason guys like LMA, Blake, and Mills are in BK is to win a championship…maybe someone like Cam Thomas won’t mind because that’s more shots and minutes for him, but when the goal is a title, and 1 of your stars clearly gives no fcks and the team is losing 14 or 15 straight, I think it can hurt morale and guys might start grumbling and wondering how long KD is gonna coddle that fool

    Then the chance of said player being what he is hyped to be is the next challenge. The NBA lottery is much like the state or mega lottery it happens but don’t thing it will happen for you. Nothing replaces hustling and working smart consistently in life or a NBA organization. Buying a ticket is different than spending assets on a chance of MAYBE.

    The basketball gods would be kind to us if they make KD feel some sort of way and he does shut it down for the season.

    Knowing it is beyond unlikely but if Our pick ended up at #1 and NJ pick at #2 who are you taking?

    Im going Chet and Ivey but it would be hard to pass on Griffin.

    Durant said he hopes to be back shortly after all-star break. No clue on Simmons who is still seeing his mental therapist. Unfortunately, the Nets have a chance to win their 3 games before the all-star break as they play Wizards, Knicks, and Sacramento. After the all-star break they have a pretty tough schedule the rest of the way, but if both Simmons and Durant join the team they will start to win some games. Also, I bet the vaccine mandates will go away in NY before too long and Irving will be back full-time.

    KD wants to beat Harden I’m sure. They just need to get in. He ain’t shutting nothing down if he can go.

    I’m hoping that the 2022 Nets pick, the 2023 Bucks pick and the expiring contracts of Wood and Gordon will be valuable enough to add a very high future draft pick or a very good young player.

    Its crazy james seems to be the only one to call kyrie out on the team. Imagine a player in the 90s on a contender act like they weren't concerned with winning a title so they can be the voice of the voiceless. They would put hands on that fool. KD seems more mad at james than kyrie SMH

    I bet secretly several players wish they were thrown in the harden deal.

    They are playing those games without Irving, their one game at home is against the Bucks. The vaccine mandate is not going away either. No one also knows when Durant or Simmons will be back either. Nets are screwed.

    Ive seen the Nets a lot this year, their team is pretty bad without the big 3.

    The Rockets might end up with two cracks at the number one overall pick

    people will be as crazy or as lazy as they are allowed to be...
    the more crazy you accept - the further the envelope gets pushed...
