I really dont understand this from LMA's perspective....its not like the Spurs are a horrible team, they're actually pretty decent for a young team in the West. He wanted out because he lost his place as a starter? Okay, fine but go to a team where you can make a big contribution right? At max, you'd think the role for him in Brooklyn is maybe 10-15mins a night??? Do you really want a championship to come THAT easy? Do you really feel like you've accomplished something by sitting on the bench waving a towel while this mega team wins a championship?

Idk man...I just dont get it. I can't imagine having that type of mentality to try taking such the easy way out. At least when Blake went, the Nets actually had a weakness....they actually needed bigs. But in this case I just don't understand it.

Having a bunch of terrible defensive bigs to throw at Embiid really doesn't do anything at all. Embiid has dominated LMA the last few matchups and obviously LMA provides nothing defensively.

Hope I dont have to explain this again but the Embiid example was made to illustrate the matchup riches Nets possess. It's not specifically about any one guy individually

Everyone else also has frontcourt weaknesses of some sort whether owing to immobility or depth. Nets are now casually spotting 3 perimeter stars and no overly detrimental front court weaknesses. Those two things (depth and frontcourt weaknesses) were supposed to be what kept them within sight of the competition as a top heavy team. Now they're just a heavy team

What? How do the Nets have no front court weakness? They have 3 washed players in Jordan, Blake and Aldridge who provide absolutely nothing defensively and Claxton who's completely unplayable in a series against the Sixers since Embiid absolutely dominates centers like him and Allen who he averaged 30/14 against in 10 games. Nets needed to find a Marc Gasol type, not another washed jump shooting big with no defense.

Last year was Irving, KD, Jordan, Temple in free agency. Even orchestrated a sign and trade after the fact to make it all possible and somehow got a protected pick from GS.

This year was the Harden trade as well as acquiring B.Brown and Shamet in trade, J.Green and Joe Harris in free agency, and Grffin and LMA in buyout market. He also hired Nash as coach and D'Antoni as an assistant.

Because KD is one who made those moves, not Sean Marks. Marks is KD's puppet. KD has orchestrated the biggest coup in NBA history by taking over a franchise and turning into a powerhouse for the foreseeable future in a mere 2 years. He has watched what Lebron did in his second stint in CLE and has taken notes on how to leverage his star power to build a team.

Unbelievable! Heat fans have no room to talk.

We had an older wade what was already on the decline prime lebron and Bosh, and a bunch of old washed vets not Wade lebron Bosh cp3 and Stat.

LMAO. Bosh and Wade were both younger than Harden and KD are right now. And they were both clearly in their prime.

It was CLEARLY a Superteam. Stop with the lies.

I think ill side with Hello Brooklyn with this one. Both are damn superteams. The heat squad and nets squad RN are damn superteams. but the nets squad is doing it way way way better.

Congrats! You guys are the new warriors.
Every damn team hates you now. Enjoy the hate from us!

So, Marks was a puppet when he created Brook Lopez, D’Angelo Russell into two max slots and murdered Houston in the Harden deal?

Drafted Claxton, Allen, LeVert and signed Dinwiddie, Joe Harris in 2016 out of the G-League?

AD was on a badly mismanaged team and Lebron was playing with a bunch of unproven kids. It was a mutually beneficial trade

I think he has depression tbh. If not bi-polar.

One minute he is happy, the next he drops his head and loses interest in the game around him. And yes, this is literally mid-game.

This compounds over a long season.

He clearly came to San Antonio to win. To be the next franchise big man to lead the team to multiple, genuine chances at championships.

Kawhi (through ZaZa) ruined that all.

The Spurs then had to change direction on the fly and it never fit into Aldridge's plan.

Not only were they rebuilding, getting younger, moving away from an inside out game but the game itself was changing around him.

And the talk of him wanting a larger role, that's true you could see it, but he hit a wall this season called old age. It crept up on him and he has almost instantly lost his legs. That's why he has decided to take a much smaller role on a loaded team.

In that way, I wish him the best.

At the same time, he followed in Kawhi's footsteps by damning the team he signed contracts to pay him nearly 150 million dollars.

He had opportunities to silently request trades over the last 2 seasons. And worst case scenario, at the start of this one where the Spurs could have got back picks it young assets.

So screw him in that sense.

KD linked up with Harden in the offseason and then Harden leaked the Nets rumors to force his way to Brooklyn and keep all other teams out of the running. Without KD, Harden likely would have gone to PHI.

Good get by Brooklyn.

As a sixers fan, I wasn’t worried about Griffin but a stretch 5 can give Embiid problems.

To be honest though...... the East was theirs as soon as they got Harden.

Eh, I was hoping he'd go to Miami to help them out. Going to the Nets is just stupid of him to do imo.

Pathetic.

At least the Warriors drafted 3/4 stars, and KD was an actual free agent. They even still played beautiful team ball. The Nets get these guys for nothing through buyouts, and Harden through forcing a trade and voiding his own contract. League is broken.
