2022/23 NBA Season Thread

[Dwayne]

Only would've made sense to tank if they did all this before the season started....we have a pick swap with them and we suck so they still could've got a top 4 pick


Now they done racked up too many wins

Oh shit. I forgot about that.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

and accomplish what?

Being decent with a young core which is a great thing to have where you could eventually place a star

 

[southsil4lil]

nets aren’t even in a bad position either

They can easily fix their situation within a year

Nets actually operate at their best under these circumstances

They've shown they can find talent late in the draft, have a good track record of developing talent, making good moves around the margin, scouting underutilized players ect

Obviously the KD/Kyrie experience was an epic fail and very disappointing but they should be optimistic about their future considering the circumstances

 

[Big Lurko]

Dames the issue?

 

[Big Lurko]

Russ gonna find himself back on the thunder until he signs that 2 year 28mil contract with the hornets in the summer

Hornets have been the pits.

Claxton/Johnson/Bridges is a great defensive and shooting core to put pieces around

Only issue really is Ben Simmons but with lower expectations his contract isn’t so hard to swallow now

Get a young PG at some point and use Joe Harris/curry/DFS/O’neale more or less to create more assets or as pieces in a bigger trade

All things considered nets fans can Atleast watch games without having a headache and can enjoy internal growth like they were supposed to before the KD/Kyrie stuff

Seems like the perfect place for Westbrook to play

Operate at their best this way?

From 2003 to 2022 they have 3 won playoff series. And you can say this year they ain’t gon even make the playoffs so In 20 years 3 series wins

That ain’t operating good by any metric.

Id cop a $15 ticket to see it

Dames the issue?

Left the Warriors and then went to a team content with mediocrity

Probably couldn't wait to get back to a team with real aspirations

why did KD and Kyrie want to go there in the first place?

Because of the culture they had established

lol

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Nets will be fine and are in decent shape. They are in the exact same position they were in (actually probably better) before getting KD / Kyrie. The core and surrounding pieces are there

Supposedly.

Can’t get rid of everybody and expect the culture to be the same. Also it takes YEARS to establish a real culture
