Because it’s a huge drop off in talent after that.

All I ask for is just one Top 5 Pick. The I promise Nets fans I’ll root hard for your team next season! I would make them my second favorite team. They do have the best looking court in the NBA in my humble opinion.

I don't expect we are going to get 1 of the like of Bagley Doncic etc and keep them unless it's the #1 and exactly who we want, because if the pick is that high in the lottery we will probably trade in on draft night for an all star vet to convince Lebron to stay. But if the pick is a little later we'll more likely grab a 2nd year player or an intl with more experience that can be plugged into the rotation in the second half of the year like Robert Williams . I could see us trading down from 4-7 to late lottery to pick up a nba vet in the trade and still get a decent long term upside project for the long term like Anfernee Simmons if he declares early or another high level recruit if he gets a waiver to transfer from WKU and is eligible a sleeper center prospect in that range is Mitchell Robinson & then also still pick a nba ready upperclassman guard like Jacobi Boykins or Malik Newman with our own pick or go high stakes win or lose with Greek freak's little brother Kostas Antetokounmpo

Honestly you guys should do whatever is best for the franchise. Not what you think will make Lebron stay. Miami drafting Napier should teach you that. If he's made up his mind nothing will change it.
