Second rounders don’t really mean **** to a team trying to win now. Most will give up a ton to try get a piece to help them win. Milwaukee won’t have a player like Giannis again for god knows how long so of course they will do such a move.

We fck up, why??


We sure on this? He was making 3.5 and with Jackson going out he should slot into the Bol Bol TPE. Maybe I'm mistaken.

The 3pt shooting alone makes him significantly better than Kornet.

For what it's worth. I was boots on the ground at the Rockets/Kings game last night. Seats down by the court and got a good close look at Kenyon Martin JR & J Tate. I really liked both players....But I LOVED KJ Martin. Dude is so athletic and solid on both ends of the floor. He'd be the PERFECT 3rd wing for us. I really liked his demeanor out there. He has fun, he plays hard. He impacts the game.
Tate was good too. Aggressive getting to the rim.

50Cent was court side. No idea why. lmao

Muscala will get more "wide open looks" than at any time before. His % will go up. I worry more about teams trapping the shet out of Tatum and Brown and not making teams pay for it. Especially when opposing centers like Embiid attempt to clog the paint.

With that said, Brad still needs to make one more move!!

In Brad I trust!
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

More of a stretch shooter.

If he was a stretch shooter and an elite defensive big who could protect the paint, he'd be making $20 mil a year (if not more) and we'd have to give up way more to get him.

Embiid couldn't even score on Pritchard last night - I'm not too worried about him and the sixers.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

These are likely three of the picks Nets are getting, with the other two being Bucks 2nds in 2023 and 2024.

Pretty far from fleeced lol.


I think Crowder sucks that's why I'm saying that. And giving up Nwora for Crowder doesn't do anything for me.

I'm ecstatic they added Jae

There’s no one body to throw at Embiid. Team scheme gonna win you games against Harden/Embiid. Full display last night.

Yeah. Muscala is making $3.5M. But, I believe that that has to go into the $5.9M TPE?

Hope we make a bigger splash like Milwaukee just did but this could be it.. a bought-out JRich would be a major acquisition..

Still have Gallo/Pritchard, Bol TPE to go after a wing.. other scenario no one’s mentioned is sending Gallo/PP/Grant/picks out for a more impactful 4 but idk if there is one.

KJ Martin would complement Hauser nicely too. One is the shooter. The other is the explosive, athletic guy who cuts to the rim and can catch lobs. Both decent defenders, KJ a little better defensively..

Wouldn't mind scooping up KJ if we can get him for cheap..

It's funny because Jordan Nwora is just as good if not better than Crowder.

Dude was comically bad in the playoffs for Phoenix last year and then cried like a bitchh and sat out when Monty said you're not good enough to start for us this year.

Enjoy those streaky shooting nights Milwaukee!

Nets need to dump one more player and they're under the tax. Who's getting Seth Curry for some 2nds?

I wish Celtics traded 3 2nd rounders and Jackson for Bryant. He's a poor man's version of Timelord. Oh, well.
