Cunningham, David Lee, Lavoy Allen, Zeller, Bogut, Diaw, Sullinger or Splitter are still out there.

Chris Singleton of the guys playing in Europe is probably an option too.

I suspect the Marksman wants a piece of the RFA market again when they become desperate enough. Maybe he'll try to poach Noel? (probably not cuz of Jar)

Green, Mirotic, Plumlee are unsigned.

After they are gone he'll look at the FAs.

You dont have enough capspace to make a competitive offer for those guys, they will take the QO before

Thing is, no one knows what they'd get.

For most of them we could do better than the QO I think?

Noel I was just kidding.

That's surely gonna take some time to gel.

Do you guys think Trevor Booker would be better starting, to add some rebounding to that 3 guard lineup it looks like the Nets will be starting? Starting Carroll would give you a bunch of 3 point shooting in the starting lineup, but no size or Rebounding.

It's a big if. RHJ is more likely to start than DMC. Last year he was starting over Booker towards the end of the year. I think it'd be the same next year. He's a capable rebounder and he'll get more muscles.

Booker played better off the bench, shot much better. Doubt he'll start.

He'll get an opportunity to start its a long season and guys will sit to rest (better that than an injury). Well get to see how the team fills out till then it's Football season!

Starting five is probably Lin/Russell/Crabbe/Hollis-Jefferson/Mozgov

The Nets have some good options now. I was looking over the lineups of the bottom half of the East and I was surprised to notice that Brooklyn, man for man, isn't nearly as bad as people think. Brooklyn is significantly better than Chicago and Atlanta, IMO. The Pacers and Magic have some talent, but it's more mixed-matched parts. If the Knicks get rid of Carmelo without getting a now piece of equal value, they'll be behind Brooklyn too. The Nets just need to sign a legitimate NBA level PF or Center for depth, and they'll be much better than last year. If they get that, I can't see Brooklyn finishing behind any of those teams, if they are healthy.

Yeah it seems like Nets could be at low end of middle group of teams in EC if things fall their way. And they remain healthy.

Miami
Charlotte
76ers
Pistons
Nets

Nets are going to see what Hollis-Jefferson can do as PF full time, he played well once he was transitioned there last year and where he lacks in height (same height as Draymond Green) he has a long wing span, moves well w/o the ball for catch and finish ops, can rebound, gets to the FT line, and is a solid defender who can switch onto pretty much every position on the floor. His shooting is his main problem, and also not having the muscle weight at this age might get him in trouble versus certain players (Derrick Favors).

I don't want to be over optimistic about what we can do, but this team plays hard and we've now added more depth and with an offense that moves the ball, high paced with high volume 3pt shooting we're going to surprise people. Defensively however, is another story, because Russell and Crabbe on the wings could be a liability if they can't improve defensively.

I think the rotation will probably look something like;

Lin-Whitehead/Dinwiddie
Russell-Kilpatrick
Crabbe-LeVert/Harris
RHJ-Carroll-Acy
Mozgov-Booker-Allen

The other guys are basically training camp bodies as of now.

Allen will have a shot due to injuries for sure, and having depth in the wing and at PG isn't bad.

The defense is gonna be bad unless Mozgov hits the time machine, but of the theoretical bottom 9 teams, this one is the best offense by a mile, the amount of spacing and quality PG play is gonna really help.

That starting trio on the perimeter though, it's gonna be woeful on D.

Lin is not the issue on the perimeter, its Russell and Crabbe. They are going to have to commit to defense.

I think that Dinwiddie is locked in as back up PG behind Lin. Whitehead and Kilpatrick I think will back up Russell, Whitehead's defense is more valuable than Kilpatrick's offense imo now that we have more shooting.

I'd pay to hear Marks say "Dloading" in an interview.

Playing 2K where you just **** around in the off season and sim the regular season.

But seriously, trading away Crowder, Bradley and IT? That's their core that turned things around. Do they think chemistry isn't a thing? There starting 5 is going to be Kyrie/Smart/Hayward/Morris/Horford. Its a good starting 5, but its a completely new starting 5. The old one got the first seed...Why break that up? **** dumb.

Don't care. I just want to play them and unleash 3pt point bombs.

See Lin and RHJ? That connection will result in many assists and scores off of cuts to the rim this season.

I'm very pumped about this squad.
