celtics get better
heat get better
we take on salary

couldnt really have gone much worse. no playoffs, and we now dont get under the lux tax for next season and maybe king overpays Thad on an extension to compound things

so basically everything that could go bad, did. ALL our competition got better and we stayed the same. It's now pretty easy that we fall to 11th or 12th.

Playoffs are not EVEN a CHANCE. Unless Thad somehow EXPLODES

MCW on the Bucks? Weird, Knight was balling. Thomas on the Celtics is an interesting pickup.

oh and reggie jackson went to the pistons... who desperatly needed a PG... so they got better as well

we have 0 chance to make the playoffs AND we still have to suffer through 30 more games fo dwill/jj/lopez

As long as King is GM we're gonna continue getting shafted on trades.. Even on ones we don't make.

[matnautico]

Did Utah just trade Kanter and Novak for Perkins? Seriously why the hell would they do that? Unless there's something else, you can easily see why OKC chose that deal... Cant blame King for this one, the reports said the ball was on OKC's court about the deal being done.

[MrDollarBills]

So Brook ends up **** ing the team over.

I'm done. seriously, what's the point of even following this laughing stock of a team

i feel like a prissy white girl right now, I can't EVEN WITH THIS TEAM RIGHT NOW!

if we don't pick up Blatche with that last roster spot, I just don't think i'll be able to suffer through the rest of this season

Thad Young is a massive upgrade to KG at this point. We still came away with a good deal and Young is way better than Hickson or McGee.

lol.

oh well.

Lopez will now walk for nothing, we have no picks, and no hope. This team will plunge into the toilet even further now after today.

Also, Windrem the shill says the Nets, meaning Billy King, feels like OKC screwed them over by backing out in the last second, and not allowing the Nets to have enough time to work a new deal.

This is the same cock sucking GM that led OKC on a few weeks ago and then walked away smugly at the table, thinking he'd be able to get something done at the last minute. So he screws OKC over gleefully a few weeks back, and is now upset that they trolled him?

With how fast that Utah development happened, I would not be shocked if OKC had that deal on the table well before initiating talks with the Nets today.

enetric talked about dark days if we had made that trade? wait until Lopez walks for nothing in the offseason, since we can't do sign and trade deals.

The Nets have the lowest TV ratings (% wise) in the NBA. It's about to go even lower.

[Keith Van Horn]

Wow, king really sat idle and did nothing. He wasn't lying. Only made the kg trade bc they called us.

I can't wait to see this team flounder and sucks balls and not make the playoffs. I'll take that this year if it means we fire king.

This is a dark day. King dropped the ball twice. He should have done the Johnson/detroit deal hopefully handcuffing them from doing the OKC deal since we would have been getting Singler! He could have turned over the entire roster by just getting rid of JJ, but for some reason they think this dude is going to carry this team into the playoffs and shuffle their feet!

WE could have gotten Jackson and Thad and some young pieces! Possibly enough pieces to move Dwill fat ass in the offseason.

Also we still havent upgraded our wings, Houston got McDaniels for a bum and a 2nd rounder!

We are not making the playoffs unless Thad comes in here and blows the doors off which he wont, we really needed to get Martin back in this deal also, that would have ended our scoring issues.

Do not let MIA sign Blatche! that will be a kick in the teeth.

[Zachbretton]

If it seemed like they were going to back out, why couldn't we try and sweeten the deal. I would've easily thrown in Karasev to lock them in. How could he let them walk away lke that.

I take back what I said before, I do blame BK. He could've had a backup plan, or atleast something else.

Can we please sign blatche and atleast ensure i don't kill BK myself

[CalamityX12]

Its those moment where you need to laugh it off... but god no.....

East gets better, OKC played King, King ONCE AGAIN never had backup plans or anything and look at us now...

what a **** joke.... smh.... oh well, all I need is our lotto pick to finish top 3 to really send me to the hospital lol
