We paid a lot for those two guys, they did bring in a chip but we got .25 cents in the dollar returns

Brad and Joe doubling down on jacking up more 3s.

Both Simons and Niang shoot a lot of 3s.

Well, so much for Brad only making trades people didn't call. This has been around for a while. Nets part new, but Mann/Niang is old.

You're looking at it the wrong way.

We paid a lot for those 2 guys and in return was a chip.

That's all that matters.

Some here wanted to flip Simons like he is a burger patty. :lol:


Oh you said that?

After this, there is plenty of room ($12.5M) to sign both Al and Luke and stay under the 2nd.

Is Jaylen Brown available?

Lamelo/#4 for Brown who says no?

All I know about Niang, is he’s that fool who grabbed Jaylen’s leg from the bench one game. Flip him like a beer patty.

One could argue that the ring was 5x on return of investments. That ring was everything plus you received those two players at different parts of their prime and career.

Definitely worth in the end.

I love KP. Cool dude. But he was trash in the 2 playoff runs he was here.

We traded trash for trash, but ended up saving a lot of money.

Trust in Brad.

If we keep Simons, I'm kinda laser focused on the $10-15M big man list. Keep Kornet, Queta and that guy.
It's not a big list: Isaac, Stewart, PJ, Gafford, Toppin, KO, Clarke, Vandy, WCJ.

Yup I think that's the list. Wonder if Mike Muscala is still available lol.

Might as well add some less appealing cheaper names like KJ Martin and Goga Bitadze, Kyle Anderson, plus Niang/Fontecchio.

Oy, that less appealing list sure lives up to its name. But, yeah, that’s the next tier.

Looks like Brad ordered from the specials menu, lol.

The relatively obvious things have been done.

Now it gets really interesting.
