Official 2019 Brooklyn Nets Offseason Thread

[Prokorov]

With the levert extension we are a tax team moving forward into the forseable future... we probably hit the repeater KD/Kyrie's final year. that may also be we leverts deal was 3 years and not 4.

interested to see what deal Harris gets in the offseason (3/39-45?) and if they decide to bring prince back on a longterm deal or not?

LeVert’s deal expires with most of the other big money. It’s also the year DLo’s buddies all hit FA.

the more important part is it runs 3 years... the repeater tax kicks in if you hit the tax 3 of 4 seasons.

[Ror1997]

seriously... more like "where has Ror1997 been"

You trash me for complaining about or cap flexibility yet Marks had to pay a first rounder to get the cap to sign KD/Kyrie... not to mention the fact that Had the wizards not matched on otto porter, we wouldnt be able to sign KD/Kyrie in the first place.

Nevermind that had we signed Caldwell-pope, Bazemore, Tyler Johnson that we wouldnt be able to sign EITHER of Kyrie or KD.

Yes i complained about the cap... luckily:
-Wiz matched on porter
-Marks smartly stayed away from KCP
-Bazemore took the Hawks money instead
-portland matched on crabbe

not so luckily marks then traded for Crabbe and it cost us a first round pick to dump him. If we only knew we had the same guy in Joe harris already here we could have passed (Oh wait I told you that day 1 and got trashed for suggesting harris was the same calibur despite presenting mountains of proof).

So yea, Marks is awesome, he landed KD/Kyrie... but lets not act like that would have been possible had the guys he tried to overpay ended up here.

he overcame every imaginary obstacle you pretended was in the way. if we signed TJ or Porter we still would’ve made corresponding moves to sign KD and Kyrie. “but muh cap” is a pathetic and false argument. it’s ok prok you still haven’t learned to admit when you were wrong.

Because i wasnt wrong...

Did you miss the part about having to trade a first round pick to dump Crabbe in order to free the cap to sign KD/Kyrie? Otto porter makes 13 million more the crabbe. that is 30+ million in salary we would need to dump with no salary coming back and no picks to trade since we would have moved them in the crabbe deal.

We didnt sign any of the other guys who would have caused cap issues (KCP, etc...) if we did that makes it even tougher (impossible?) to clear the space.

we would need to include levert, harris, allen, kurucs to clear the space.

I said crabbe was a mistake. it was 100% a mistake. do you disagree? if not how am i wrong?

i said porter was a mistake, wizards matched so it didnt hurt us. if we had porter please explain how we move 30 million in salary

i said KCP was a mistake, we didnt sign him. he signed for 20 million. please expalain how we would move 30 million in salary

had we signed porter/KCP like some wanted, we would have no kyrie or KD

I admit when im wrong all the time. I was WAY wrong about D'angello russell. I was wrong about RHJ. I was wrong about Semi Ojele.

how could you say you weren’t wrong when we are living in a reality that you said wasn’t possible? lmfaoo you’re a damn fool. spent a year away from f*ck tards like you and had the best year of nets fandom in my life. Prok, hope it eats you alive when we win a championship doing things the way you think is wrong. you know nothing about running a team. there’s a reason we’ve been successful by doing everything you’ve argued against. nobody gives a f*ck how much you post on here or how long your posts are. you’re a **** moron who gets proven wrong day after day. you’re just a damn fool. i legit pity you and your pessimism. i hope you don’t have a wife. that would be a miserable existence for her

anyway i’m out for real now. go head evo and ban me idc. you were wrong too. this sub is by far the most toxic part of the Nets fan base. aside from a few guys like paradise it was nothing but BS.

Request granted.

This place is toxic?

Dude has issues. Seriously. Is any of that worth getting mad over?

[GTR11]

So tempted to troll Saltics and Nix fans on GB. I'll stay out of it for my own good.
1- Kyrie asked for trade because LBJ wanted PJ and Clevland wanted that trade.
2- DJ was dogging and collecting paychecks.

We have a new beat writer from Chicago y’all...don’t drool too hard! Lol

Malika Andrews from ESPN’s The Jump is set to move from Chicago to New York, where she will cover the Knicks and Nets (who added Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant) and also have a general national footprint. Any belief that this is a result of Giannis Antetokounmpo walking out on her question at a press conference would be inaccurate; she will still do some Bucks coverage. Expect her to appear on a lot more television this season, on programs such as Get Up and SportsCenter. In New York, she replaces Ian Begley, who left for SNY where he continues to cover the Knicks.

To be fair though Porter is a good player didn't take any picks for WAS to move him. Wiz got expirings and a 2nd for Porter so not sure you can compare him to Crabbe.

I can’t imagine leaving a place for a year and coming back with that level of vitriol and harboring so much ill-will. If this Nets board is truly that toxic and being away from it was that liberating and gave so much joy, I don’t understand the need to come back at all.

If a ban is what’s needed to remove the temptation of post here and to enjoy being a Nets fan, I hope it truly brings peace. Life is way too short to be that angry for that long, unless things have happened that truly warrant such feelings.

2019 offseason has been a historic one for this franchise.

Far exceeded expectations.

To me it was matter of time before top players would come over. It's just to big of a opportunity to miss out on. Infrastructure is great and I don't mean to down play it, but this is young millioners we talking about who care about their brand and fun life. I might be jumping on some bold conclusion here but I can see BK being top destination from now on. I mean look a J.Buss, Reinsdorf, Dolan for example tell me they're not ruining their brand on a biggest markets in US. Tsai seeing it and as a creator/developer knows it's true value. I think we just getting started here, I truly started to believe in it after D12 trade request

[GTR11]

As a gambler I always do deep researches on teams before the season. Brooklyn is one of the deepest team with huge upside in entire league. Best of all, it has talent that compliments each other. It's very important and showed last year when we made playoffs. Brooklyn had one of the most fun teams unlike Bostan due to perfect mesh of talent ( huge props to Markinson ).
Line up #1-
Kyrie
Caris
Prince
Rodi
Allen
This line up is perfect in my opinion to start the season and see what Kyrie and LeVert can provide as playmakers. Rodi and Allen both know how to cut and set screens, they also good defenders. Beside Kyrie here these group of guys pretty good defenders and really nice when it come to anticipation, one on one defense and playing passing lanes for steals. The one glaring weaknesses that I see here is spacing due to fact Rodi and Allen being mediocre shooters.
Dinwiddy-> first of the bench
Joe-> Din will need spacing and with lesser competition Joe can provide a lot more. Also I'd like him on limited minutes at the beginning of the season, he had busy summer (load management please ).
Nwaba -> was very exited when Marks got him, he's a pitbull that can go off when he feeling it.
Temple-> not a big fan of him. Last year he's been trash imo and barely got of the bench for good reasons. I'd love to see what Chandler can provide.
DJ-> I think it's best to keep him fresh until after AllStar break, he's a vet who knows that his value will be most important during post season.
Claxton-> there will be trash teams along the way when we could DNP-CD DJ and test drive our new guy. Very optimistic about this kid and think he'll surprise us all.
Musa-> maybe I'm still salty about summer league but I want to see more.
Pinson-> with Kyrie's load management he'll get time to show what he got for this year.
Looking at the schedule I can see this team winning 48 maybe 57 games depending on circumstances. I mean we won 42 games last year with corpses of Dudley, Carroll and half season LeVert.

I think based on what Kenny was saying Prince might get the nod at the 4.

It really doesn't matter who starts or finishes tbh. We are deep as hell at every position.

[Papi_swav]

i think it should be Irving/Lever/Harris/Prince/Allen . I see us at 48 wins with a ceiling of 54 wins.
