You guys got a solid team without all the drama. Fun to watch.

It would have been a nice capper to end the quarter seeing the run they had going.

Good first half can’t complain at all except for the refs

But yeah forming a team of three point shooting defensive wings isn't so bad. I still say a PG unlocks this team's potential

If you guys can somehow get a solid distributor focused floor general, you're SOLID. I can only imagine what might be possible if you can find some sucker team to take on Ben Simmons.

Pretty sure it’s experimentation. However, Claxton was out of the last game due to hamstring tightness, so we probably shouldn’t push him too hard anyway.

Mikal Cam J and DFS with Clax behind them looks very much legit on defense. 76ers have been spamming Harden Embiid pnrs all season but it's not getting them much agaist us

And is it just me or is our rebounding better too. The extra length seems to help us in gang rebounding

As a Suns fan, I think i will watch most of the Nets games from now on. You guys are gonna love the twins. I'm glad they have more chance to showcase their skills on Nets. Especially Cam. He's an underrated defender and a lights out shooter. Only problem, Cam sacrifices his body in every possession and i seriously believe that's why he's an injury prone player. At least you don't have to worry that about Mikal. That dude is gonna give %120 without getting hurt all the time while being the best teammate you can imagine. I can see Mikal being the best scorer of this team to be honest. Let him cook in the midrange more. He improved so much in that area.

I'm sure you guys might be feeling a bit sick from the Suns fans at this point but oh boy! My favorite player of all time is Nash and watching him on Lakers jersey was waaaaayyy better than this. I literally feel like my best friends moved out of country.

Take a good care of them guys... :')

It will cost draft capital for sure.

As good as people think he is, he's still underrated. Cam too. You will love them. I still think they hang onto the 5 seed. Their likability is off the charts too.

This will be a very fun team to watch.

Getting the Twins for KD was good value. Can't complain.

Man if Simmons can ever get back to his old self at PG, this team will be good. Epic defense, watching these guys hawk down Harden. Don't lose anything by switching Bridges of harden.

The vibe on social media is all love for the Nets. This is great.

I know it's a tough call as a coach, but I would have started Sharpe or at least played him early. We saw success last year starting Drummond to bang with and hack Embiid for a bit, and then bring in Claxton after Embiid starts to get gassed.

Seeing as though you seem to have some back to use as leverage, I don't feel you're in such a bad spot. That Simmons deal is such an albatross, boat anchor, or whatever negative colloquialism one can think of. Dude is so mentally soft. I just don't understand it at all.

yeah i feel like i have semi invaded here, but you will soon realize why Suns fans loved these guys so much if you don't already. They may be role players but they are both capable of being more and both are so unassuming and do all the little things that basketball fans that watch the games and not highlights and box scores love. and they are always all about being happy and cheering on their team mates

I’m warming up to Trae young as our next piece. It would truly unlock us

Not quite Mike James off the backboard to KD but the new look Nets have a highlight play and it's only been half a game!

He's also not 100% which exacerbates the problem. Our only hope is that when he fully recovers he regains some of his burst
