Ummm, how are they going to build around them without any cap space or trade pieces? They don't have a bench either. Everybody is also one year older. Meanwhile everyone else will have a chance to build their team. Even at full health Brooklyn isn't guaranteed to do anything next year.
KD was doing well but I thought KD was chucking in the end. He didn't utilise his team mates enough, hence his final shot was an exhaustion air ball, he just ran out of steam. I think Harden was pissed too, he was one of the first to go to the locker room even the game hadn't officially ended, KD was still there shaking hands hugging people
The Nets first step should be to fire Nash and Dumbtoni. Dumbtoni's mever won anything despite how much talent he has or how good the regular season performance is. Harden will be 32 next year, 6 yrs wasted with Dumbtoni I guess he wants to be Nash 2.0 and have his entire career wasted by the stupidity of Dumbtoni. Carlisle is available and looking for a new spot. It's a no brainer replace one of the dumber Xs and Os coach with one of the smartest.
Nets’ all-in trade for James Harden didn’t end with title https://nypost.com/2021/06/20/nets-all-in-trade-for-james-harden-didnt-end-with-title/amp/
People won't listen. He perfected his game of flailing and drawing fouls, stepbacks first. Those are hardly techniques that suggests you are a tough guy.
I know the Nets owner is loaded. But he has basically paid for 2 years of Kyrie and Durant plus the 1 year of Harden to get knocked early this year. I mean he knew there were injury possibilities, but given that is an expensive gamble.
theres also a possibility of nets wonderfully exploding and dismantling due to carlisle friction with kyrie or harden
the nets should trade Harden for picks. Get some of your future back cause this chump is not worth another max contract and he'll dip once a dumb franchise offers it.
The Clippers have some of the most cunning players that are underrated. Reggie Jackson is unbelievable along with Mann and will assist Paul George in a championship.
I just don't see Carlisle going to the Nets. He doesn't really have anything to prove, and the Nets has such huge expectations for who ever coaches them. Plus I don't think they will fire Nash, and Carlisle is too good to be an assistant. Even though he is from upstate New York and played for both the Knicks and Nets; it makes sense for him to go elsewhere where he can not have as much noise around his performance. Heck, he may even take a year off and see where his kids go to college and try to get a job closer to there.
Karma really got James Harden. James Harden got Fat and didn't care about his conditioning and his fitness since last offseason. A really dirty move in getting out of shape on purpose and trying to force a trade. Not being in shape since last offseason. James Harden brought it on himself. Why is James acting sad in the press conference to feel bad for him. James Harden shouldve stayed in shape regardless. Be in condition and being ready and being in shape starts in the offseason. To the Playoffs.
Even with the 39 point outburst, Mann is averaging like 8 points a game in the playoffs. Take that 39 point game away, and he's averaging 4.5 points a game. Let's not act like Mann is suddenly a basketball savant.
