Thank you, good luck.

This post has aged so well since that idiot first made it.

Watching Boston fans melt down in real time over this amuses me.

I hope the deal is voided and the Celts keep the Nets pick. And if IT can't play this year, I hope the Nets are good enough where we overtake the Celt for the last playoff spot on the last day of the season.

I want the deal to be voided too. It would serve them right. Cavs should trade Irving to the Bucks.

Not to be a dick but why are you guys talking about other teams in the Nets Offseason thread? Isn't there an All NBA thread where we can talk about other teams? I'm just saying.

Levert looks like he put on some muscle :clap:

I like him starting at small forward some fans say Crabbe is more of a shooting guard we'll see.

I think it's a troll from another team that made an off topic post here first. (looks like he's gone, so it's OK to feed)

That's totally possible. Certainly looks that way, LVJ is taller and more muscular, plays kinda like LBJ/Batum whereas Crab is more like a Redick/Korver/Reggie. Can Crab get bigger in a few weeks?

I am shocked, appalled, and will be whoopin e'rbody's azz with this team once this game comes out :pityfool:

Dlo got the 3, crabbe got the 3, RHJ got the jams and Allen got the blocks. Nets gonna be fun to play 2k with regardless. Even last year I would be dropping 30 pts with Harris while everybody online picks GS or Cleveland.

Nets are perfect for the 2k style of basketball. 3's and dunks. 30 ovr doesn't mean ****. People sleeping on us is nothing new.

Gotta swap Carroll and LeVert. There's no scoring from your second unit as is.

Plus, you can't go too young with your starting 5. Foye was starting last year just to be the veteran presence keeping things in order. Mosgov can't really be that guy imo.

I think making LeVert our #1 option off the bench would be good for his longterm development as well.

So Noel took the QO.

Lets see what happens to Plumlee, Green and Mirotic.

Sullinger suffered a broken foot before the start of the season w/ the Raptor last season debuted mid-season, then got dealt to PHX for PJ Tucker.

Meh. If KA can get him motivated it could be a decent fit for the Nets.

Karate Diop · Post #1897 » by **Karate Diop** » Tue Aug 29, 2017 6:01 pm

Meh... Sullinger was never really that good...

https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/5055/

He's only 25 so I guess he fits the kind of reclamation project the Nets have been looking at but my expectations would him for be very low...

Sully was one of those guys who would take the three... Even though he wouldn't make them.

MrDollarBills · Post #1898 » by **MrDollarBills** » Tue Aug 29, 2017 6:13 pm

Doesn't really move the needle for me but we can use another big.

LOL sounds like he already knows the offense!

10 PPG, 7 REBs, 1.8 ASTs, 16.2 PER in 289 career games isn't bad either.

He did average double doubles regularly with Boston and was a big part in that culture rebuild with Bradley, Smart, Olynyk.

I'd love to find someone at his age with his past production that isn't a RFA. Nobody else like that is obtainable and mostly everybody else will be signing the OQ option.
