The tempo considerably toned down the last 2:30 minutes. It's a gentleman's loss here. Leaving the guys in is fine when you're not playing reckless.

but mikal has been ass this season. majority of the nets fan base wants him traded. hes averaging 16 ppg on 38% fg since the all star break. dude is mid.


They hate him because they bought what Joe Tsai and Sean Marks was selling with trying to pretend that he was a franchise player. That's their problem, not his.

On the Knicks Mikal would be averaging a solid 18ppg on excellent efficiency

this is a cop out for mikal. they don't use him as a franchise player anymore. his usage is at 22.5 since the all star break. and he's been worse than ever. that's less than guys like caris levert and brogdon. he stinks


Hm, I'll take your word for it melo i haven't been watching him like that lol

You're right, but he doesn't want to be there either. I still say on this team, he'd be alright. But what do i know, i said Bojan was a good pick up too :-?

Deuce has financial security with that contract though, 4.5m a year or whatever is good money for a 2nd rounder that was making six figures after taxes. He'll get a bigger pay day down the line.


$4.5 million doesn’t go as far as it once did.


I'll make it work :lol: I'm sure Deuce can too, just be smart with it.

Deuce needs to get some endorsement deals. That's where the fun money comes in

Deuce should study our Crypto thread. :lol:

Donte shot mediocre from 3 but still had 30. That's rare. He's key. If he can blend with Randle, Randle plays well, and Boston has something go wrong, we have a shot.

would rather start mikal, but in order to get him we will have to give up deuce, donte, maybe mitch and a bunch of picks. it is not worth it imo.

dsj 3-4 today with 8 pts and 2 steals! that's more points than frank has scored all season long :D

I wouldn't trade McBride unless it's a superstar. Honest truth.

Yeah. I still think he'd do better here especially with how much gravity Brunson draws, but nah. Not even worth it. Especially for McBride who is the best bargain contract in the league.

yeah i think i would hold on to deuce unless we are getting a superstar or a bonafide all star or a veryyyyy good young player who's close to being an all star. basically, dont give up deuce for role players. and this is coming from someone who thought deuce was mid until he started getting a lot of minutes when we got rid of iq.
