show me the draft pick Denver

If we're going to have a strategy where we're going to keep tanking and having fire sales to get picks with having the prayer of finding a top 10 pick, it won't end well. that strategy never works.

As opposed to being a treadmill team? Unfortunately, this is a superstar league and if you want a chance to be a contender you need at least one superstar.

so you're suggesting that we basically tank for a decade until we get lucky?

edit: and I'm not saying that you're incorrect. but this is basically what that strategy is. tank and pray.

last time we tanked and prayed, we watched John Wall get drafted by the Wizards.

I literally can't believe Cunningham's been in the league for 8 years. Not knocking him but he must be a great vet.

Big fan of the trade. Vaughn is trash and further exacerbated our log jam at guard. Cunningham can provide defense and a little shooting at our biggest position of need.

Would've rather seen Stauskas traded, but I guess there was nothing out there for him. Essentially Zeller for Cunningham and a second.

You're not a real fan unless you want to watch us tank for a decade.

could you imagine the despair?

in all seriousness, I don't want the Nets to be a capped out mediocre team, but at the same time we've been horrible since 2014-15. To tell me, a fan, that we should just give up on the guys acquired over the last 3 seasons and purposely suck balls for the next several years in hope for the slim chance of drafting a generational superstar, is a slap in the face. we won't make the playoffs til 2022-23 or worse. at some point even diehards are going to mentally check out.

I'd rather acquire as many talented young players as possible and build a talented team with depth and if there is a star to be had via trade, we use those assets to get him.

One year contract with bird rights

Never been a fan of Dante Cunningham. Does that mean Quincy Acy is out the door?

Honestly, yes and no. Yes because like I've mentioned this is a superstar league and you need superstars to win, and unfortunately these guys tends to be around the lottery region. Also, I don't want to end up a team like Portland or Washington. Yeah it's great that they make the playoffs year in year out but everybody knows they have no chance of winning it.

It doesn't necessarily have to take a decade for this happen, I mean we could get lucky and Kawhi (or another random superstar) for some bizarre reason decides to come to Brooklyn but at the same time we have to always be in the hunt for that top 10 in the league potential. Nobody on this roster should be untouchable unless they are that. It doesn't necessarily have to come via draft either, like you've mentioned we could keep stockpiling all of these assets and make a deal for a superstar/potential superstar, sort of like the Harden-trade or a trade for Klay if that's at all feasible.

At the same time, no because I am curious to see how our core of Russell/Allen/RHJ/Levert/future picks pan out and by far this has been my favourite Net team for some time. But if we do get an amazing offer like the RHJ for a top 10 pick, you take that and run with it. We're in talent acquisition mode and year 2 of a rebuild, we should be proactive right now in acquiring assets as opposed to later when our cap situation starts getting tighter and we start shifting the main focus to winning.

Technically last time we tanked and prayed, we traded for DWill and traded said pick for Gerald Wallace. So, could be worse, a lot worse
