Prepare to fall in love. Of course the other twin is a great player and a good person as well, you just have to worry about his ability to stay healthy but hes a game changer when he is. Good luck, we will be watching with tears of joy in our eyes.


There is no reason to be torn.

You guys have probably the best team in the West. And you have the leadership of CP3 to take that burden off KD.

You have to go all in at some point.

I'll be rooting for KD to win it all this year.

The 4 unprotected picks are nice but honestly I want Joe Tsai and Sean Marks out of this organisation. How can you be so blind to the climate of the league that you give up all your dradt picks for the next half decade then decide to play hardball with your superstars.


3 all timers gone within a year. I am devastated. Nets fans suffer again, because Joe Tsais ego couldn't handle accommodating his employees


I miss Prokhorov ( the owner ) he was flying in for the game and always happy like a kid in candy store , but he never stirred the s$it like Tsai did

Bridges should have been DPOY last season and his offensive game is getting better and better. Johnson is a legit 6 man and one of the best 3 point shooters in the league. Crowder is a twat but who cares.

If the Nets can find a way to draft/sign a star they can still be a very good team.


yep. and who knows maybe they get lucky and that star is cam thomas. or claxton. or ben (lol).

if not they have a lot of draft picks all of a sudden. and will probably gain some more tomorrow.

Read on Twitter

I said a long time ago that I had a feeling a Harris for LeVert swap was going to happen. I wasn't in favor of it then, because it's a cost cutting move, but now it makes sense.

without kyrie there was no kd so it's a chance you take 100/100 times, but kyrie has proven to be an even bigger destroyer of worlds than his worst critics predicted.

he is 99.9% of the reason this situation imploded. he almost singlehandedly ruined 3 of his best friend's prime years and he takes 0 responsibility.

thank god kd signed that extension.


Yeah his completely lack of self awareness is astounding.

If he just takes the vaccine I think we run away with the Championship in 2022. Then this season if he just shut up and played out his contract we had a very good chance of winning as well.

Guy is just selfish. He think the whole world revolves around him. We should allow him to take in season breaks. We should just support him not being vaccinated. We should just let him post anti-semetic thing. We should then give him 200 mill guaranteed on top of that.


Why would you inject yourself poison if you don't have to? Is he a guinea pig?

We had one of the most talented teams of all time and only won one playoff series.

Its the biggest failure in the history of sports.

And now we dont have our **** draft pick until 2028!!!!!

Marks was part of the problem. He needs to go.


yes marks was the reason kyrie landed on giannis' foot and wouldnt take the vax. grow up. these guys are grown men making 1/4 billion dollars. kyrie has done this to 3 teams now. harden did what he did to 2. those teams werent all gm'd by sean marks.

and who cares who owns our draft pick? honestly it's a GREAT thing because it takes tanking off the table. unless you want to watch tanking?

the nets now own more picks going forward than a typical allotment so complain all you want about picks but that's a non-issue.

especially if the guy making those picks is the same guy who picked cam thomas 27, nic claxton 31, jarrett allen/caris out of the lotto, etc.


Marks/Tsai let Kyrie and KD run everything from the start which empowered Kyrie to act like an idiot.

You seriously think Pat Riley lets Kyrie behave like this?

We honestly should have traded Kyrie as soon as he refused to take the vax. That was the smart move.

The Harden trade was another example of us pandering to them.

Giving up everything for another star rather than investing in role players like Allen, Dinwiddie etc.

By the time they woke up it was far too late. We gave up all our picks and leverage.

Why suspend him for road games and then bring him back? Why suspend him for a stupid Tweet that everybody blew up for no reason.

And if you go all in like that then honestly just offer Kyrie the full max.

What was the point of offering him 3 years with the last year non-guaranteed? We knew it would piss him off.

We could always trade Kyrie later. Lakers would easily take him.

The whole stunk from the bottom up. There was no plan.

Prok was clueless about how the NBA worked but at least he never put his ego ahead of his team's interests. Tsai is equally clueless but decides to measure dicks with Harden, Kyrie, and KD. What a dunce.

We didn't offer him a contract because of the way he acted last year. Which is what pissed him off.

Prok engineered that whole KG/Pierce era which was equally disastrous.

At least Tsai has the excuse of Kyrie being a cancer. We traded like 7 years of picks for the corpses of KG and Pierce.

Yeah and we offered him a trash contract instead of leaving it alone like a smart franchise would.

We are literally taking the Ainge-Jazz model rebuild. A lot of these guys will not be traded unless they are expiring.

Yeah we should have just offered him the full max if were gonna offer him a multi year deal.

But that doesn't excuse the way Kyrie acted. He never **** played.

No it's just my form of protesting how Marks and Tsai have ruined this organisation.

We've gone from contenders to Toronto Raptors in 5 days.

I can tell you one thing and I came to this conclusion sometime ago

After this failed experiment I gained way more respect for …

Stephen Curry and Warriors franchise in general , they all made it easy for Durant

LeBron for carrying Kyrie to his ( I hope ) only championship

and that Harden will never win a championship, he missed his opportunities


GS didn't allow KD to be the bus driver. They made him the passenger and Draymond let him know it. KD pouted and came crying to Brooklyn, a franchise that he and Ky knew they could take over and this is the result.

I imagine that PHX would have more success with KD than the Nets because KD is back to being the passenger. A very expensive lesson learned

Return to Brooklyn Nets
