This, I can't believe yall think being a play-in caliber team now is "competitive" for a Brooklyn team that just lost 3 superstars and was assembled to immediately contend for a title. Stone made that trade with that already taken as a given. Now, people aren't happy with a Brooklyn team that FEATURES Ben Simmons, Dinwiddie, and Bridges instead?! Coloassal win by Stone.

They have so many good to great 3&D players, they can get a pick for each of those as well. I guess Ben Simmons found his true calling as a tank commander. You attract these things with your energy.
If I'm the Nets, I'd probably hold on to Bridges, Johnson, Claxton, Dimwiddie, DFS, and Cam Thomas. Try to move everyone else. Get a high draft pick this season, and use your assets going forward to make moves. They really aren't in the worst position. Frankly, they could end up looking like the pre-Durant Nets in a season or two.
It’s logical. They lose the pick next year and odds are the swap this year won’t matter. Even if they win the lotto they only drop to 5.
I kinda feel sorry for Brooklyn, they put their faith in Kyrie Irving and now they have nothing. If I was Brooklyn I would have traded Kyrie to Charlotte for a 1st round pick and any scrub....
KYRIE absolutely F'd the Nets for the several years of being there. The Mavs will not win a ring with him either. That guy is a true cancer and he complained about being disrespected by Brooklyn. F that guy
Serious question. Which pick swap takes priority in 2025? Rockets have option to swap with Nets Thunder have option to swap with Rockets
First-round pick from Houston, Oklahoma City, OR Brooklyn (Oklahoma City can swap its 2025 first for Houston’s first-round pick, top-10 protected; after that is decided, Houston can swap whatever pick it has for Brooklyn’s selection, if desired. https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/li...s-draft-pick-assets-protections-through-2029/
You think every player requires the same amount of effort to move? Thats ridiculous lol. Moving super max players is the same as moving a minimum player? Cmon now.
They are tough when they provide a list which consists of 1-2 teams, and are 34 years old and currently injured.
