Irving and Butler will go to the Knicks. more mainstream appeal and bigger stage. Porzingas is already there as well. Fizdale is a popular coach in the league.
thats why I keep being a wet blanket on here. We've got to be honest. The Nets aren't a draw
Knix have some pretty big hoops to jump through to open anywhere close to 2 max...
I'm pretty sure they can find a way to get Noah off of their books. We may be the ones to do it in fact since it will come with an asset attached to it.

Why would we do that? Why would our ownership allow that?
Not even Jerry West is thinking like that with the Lakers overshadowing him in LA. No reason for us to do that.

It's kyrie, klay or kawhi or bust IMO. If we bust then we just got to hope Marks can hit on all his draft picks like the Spurs did.

I think its a 100% chance none of those players are signing here.
We will build via the draft like Golden State imo.

too much chatter and set up too well not to land one of the top free agents or trade for a star in season. probably closer to 100% we land one then 100% we dont. id say at least 51% chance we get one

I tend to agree with you on this honestly. I wont go as far as 51% but I'd say there's a 40% chance we get one.

I agree with 51%, we have a bunch of assets and Marks keeps racking up even more so we can set up a very nice package for a star player, whoever that is , even if we miss on signing one. Not to mention our franchise did a complete 180 from 5 years ago, we have a great front office and everybody knows, were ranked 6th most valuable franchise in NBA, it's still NYC and the best borough of the city. I wholeheartedly believe we would come away with someone great. I have faith in our franchise.

You can sell me on an in season trade since that's how we historically have acquired top tier talent (Kidd, Carter).
You can't sell me however on the Nets signing Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, or Kyrie Irving on the open market.

plus you have to look at Marks remarks... his language has changed drastically. it was "development development development" and now he is staying stuff like "the team has pivoted" "we are preparing for 2019" talking about cap space, free agency....
marks is a guy who sets expectations low and is open about direction. we may not get the guys but its clear marks is going to make a strong run at them and HE believes they are players for it

Marks can make the push all he wants. It won't matter if guys don't want to sign on to a team that just won 25 games.

Yea but that was Jersey, this is Brooklyn. No offense but being in the city is just a bigger deal.

Here is what will sell me on this optimism.
if Russell, LeVert, RHJ, and Allen make a leap this year collectively and we somehow end up in the playoffs or just on the cusp, I can see the Nets being an attractive landing spot.
If the Nets finish where Vegas has them finishing, no one is touching this team with a ten foot pole.
Winning matters. You think Klay is going to come running over here to play on a team that struggled to win 25 games?
If there is no internal improvement this year, give up on these fantasies of max slot level players even taking a meeting with Sean Marks.

How about a team with multiple young assets and a top 3 pick ? and knowing they're about to trade for another one?
