First step is to get rid of Melo and NOT re-signing Rose.

and a bunch of non-stop losses too

Its better to be a real tank team than a team who sucks but not quite lottery. The goal is to tank next season.

there's only one ball tho..

LaVine should be made 6th man.

YOUR goal is to tank. But miss me with all that ball movement and unselfish BS.

On Thursday, Chad Ford of ESPN.com said of Kennard "in recent weeks he's moved up fast" and noted the Duke product has already worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons.

"Right now it looks like the Pistons at No. 12 are Kennard's floor," Ford wrote. "But he could go higher. The Knicks, according to a team source, are seriously considering taking him at No. 8. And a Lakers source said he'd be a favorite if the team ends up with a second pick in the top 10."

A general manager with a late lottery pick said, "There's no way he gets to us," per Ford. "I don't think there's any way he's out of the top 10. We think he's the best shooter in the draft."

I think he claimed he hit 91 out of 100 three point shots...

...catch my drift?

All this Frank talk is just a smoke screen. We are doing this to see if other teams bite and take him before us, causing DSJ, Monk or Fox to slip to No 8.

Orlando may take Frank. Revenge for robbing them of KP.

I'm just riding out these last 2 years until Phil is gone and we get a head coach who utilize what little talent we have.

I dont care if we tank or miss the playoffs by 1 game, our problems lie deeper than draft position and the solution isn't ball movement and unselfish team play.

Nets moved the ball all the way to worst record in the league.

There's like 1 great pure shooter every 2-3 drafts. This might be the guy. He has the numbers and stroke to back it. I honestly would not be mad if we took him.

Maybe I'm missing something but Frank has no first step and doesn't have much foot speed.

Steph Curry with the shot boi?

But seriously, the dude got range and can hit from anywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if he emerged as one of the best scorers in his draft class. He's also not just spot up shooter, he can score in a variety of ways. Him and KP would make a nice scoring duo

The Nets had no talent. I'm not sure why you're against ball movement. It doesn't mean "never isolating". If Melo catches the ball 10-12 feet out instead of 18-23 feet then that's a great iso used in the triangle. The problem is when he goes tunnel vision mode because the wing that's guarding him is getting in his head.

Think she was referencing Vivek selecting Stauskas because he hit 91/100 three point shots...nothing has been reported for Kennard.

His jumper is so damn pretty and he has the length to frustrate opposing PG's. French dudes also play the game wild pure. Look at how Batum, Diaw, and Tony play the game. They play it pretty.

You are reflecting survivorship bias with players who have succeeded. Plenty of french players have failed, starting with our own Fred Weiss, and Louis lab....from a couple years back.

I see him a a slow guard, with physical tools to be good defensively but a lot more is needed to be a star.
