Not trying to be one of those jerks
But been followin' this team for many long years
... and mainly they just leave me in tears

But I keep tryin': "Let's Go Amerks"

Small knock on Jordi. Why was Schroeder inbounding?

Clax & Sharpe out plus Simmons had reached his time limit

Cam Thomas too. I know, it's more of me being bewildered at the state of offensive options with the injuries and post trades.

Wait until later in the season if we go full tank as it could get really ugly

We are winning too many games. Idk why we held on to all these good players.

Should have already traded Cam Johnson, DFS etc.

Marks better start selling off these pieces soon. Last thing we need is a 34 win season.

CHA it's not exactly a Dinasty-type of roster but it's good being capable to win them without Cam.

A streak of pòssessions here when he's a turnover machine, another streak of possessions there carrying teams' game by himself.... now some possessions so lost in the paint as Sheldon Cooper in a Ricky Gervais show, then some possessions disrupting every opponent's screen with aggressive defense...

Wich NBA player am I talking about?

Spoiler:
Simmons in a nutshell.
Bewildering yet entertaining enough.

Shout out to Wattford; he was required to man up and he did so.
Milton had some more impact over the game than usual. Happy for him.

If you're so utterly fond of armored vans with cannons first one to be traded should be Schrödinger's Dawg.
At this point of his career he's basically a two legged anti-tank mine.

That's how I felt initially, but look at this the other way, all those vets have managed to increase their value... So selling them off now may prove to be better after all.

I agree. we need to start losing games against the bottom feeding teams especially the Hornets. Even though I believe they'll end up with a better record than us it's better to make sure they do by losing to such teams and they'll own the tiebreakers just in case we end up with the same record.

But on the other hand, tanking doesn't always work. It's good to build with what you have too. This draft class seems to be deep, so even if we don't pick top 3 we should still be able to draft a stud player.

I honestly don’t see the rush to trade Cam J unless we get an outstanding deal

Guy isn’t old, plays a position of real value, is having a career year and is under contract

Worse comes to worse and we sit him then bring him back next season

Priorities are DFS and Denis

Return to Brooklyn Nets
