barkley should come out of retirement and sign with the nets.

People really overreacting to the signing of washed up 35 year old LMA? Really? I'm not even sure if he's better than DJ at this point and DJ mostly sucks.

He really doesn't move the needle at all, he's just riding them for a ring.

He's better than some G Leaguer obviously but all this does is help their depth. Doesn't make them more formidable. Hopefully it doesnt take time away from Claxton playing.

The rich get richer.

He isn't going to move the needle a whole lot, but in a limited role and that level of talent around him, he might have his moments offensively. Helps them from a depth perspective.

Can we not crap on KD for a move the front office made?

Anyway this is something else. I didn't think it was possible for a team's contention chances to be literally injury proof

We'll see. Kyrie is a ticking timebomb, Aldridge isn't close to what he was, and Blake seriously belongs in the BiG3 league at this point. The only 2 reliable guys are Harden and KD, and right now calling KD reliable is a stretch in itself.

Besides nets fans most of us as basketball fans will have a united front against the nets. Stay strong brothers. Anyone team that can take them out is a champion of the light! Even if said champion doesn't win the finals will go down a champion forever!

Great signing by the Nets. I was hoping he would go there. Lamarcus is still a good offensive player that easily get 15-20 points a night. His defense is terrible but offensively he is still pretty good. I would say Lamarcus his size will help the Nets when going up against Embiid or Davis since he's always matched up well with those two guys. I'm rooting for Lamarcus to get a ring since he fell short with the Spurs due to Kawhi going AWOL.

I hate this buyout bs. If Big 3 is healthy, then Nets will win title easily. They had deep bench too. Stacked roster. TBH Harris as your fourth best player is ridiculous, he would be in top 3 best players on most teams.

My god what an embarrassment of riches the Nets have.
If they dont win it all this year they never will.

I have watched a lot of spurs games this year. He still has it on the offensive end. Offensively he's a lot better than DJ. He's terrible on the defensive end but I think he will look better now that he's playing with the Nets.

LMA can help stretch the floor even more and box out decently. He can be body thrown at Gianiss etc ., 10-15 Minute type of role.

Good depth signing. People acting like KD just signed with the warriors again with this signing. It’s not that huge

LMA can still hoop, and is a nice fit offensively, if he takes DJ's minutes this is big,

LMA/Claxton/Blake front court rotation is solid.

It's the matchups. Nets are approaching 2016/17 Warriors caliber where they had no real matchup weaknesses because of all the vets and utility players they had signed up

In a hypothetical series with the 6ers this is a steady stream of bigs to throw at Embiid. Winning that series will now be a matter of having Embiid being able to abuse all 4 bigs
