i mean, who are the nets fans ? really.

if you're from brooklyn you grew up a knicks fan. so you got to be -

a - very young
b - someone who switched teams
c - someone who just moved there
d - someone who really is not that into basketball

that's it

The Nets are like Devils. Totally irrelevant. Neither of them should be in the Metro area.

we aint got but at best a 14 percent chance at wiseman. this rebuild sh*t aint a real plan no more. we did the best out of the 3 worst teams and still ended up 3rd.


#3 this year, #1 next year, moving on up!...think positive.


Also perhaps RJ proves during the season that he should have been the #1 pick all along and the basketball gods just simply put us at the right spot to take him.

Woj and SAS are running a masterclass in how to get a fan base riled up. Just gotta wait until June 30. Most of this noise means nothing. I'm still confident we have the best situation for KD. He's the only one that matters, not Kyrie.

Crabbe's deal is the same has THJR, but one year shorter.. Crabbe was shed with a mid first.. THJR was shed with ..
..
..
.
.
Kristaps Porzingis

lmao

(THJR is also the same age as Crabbe and the better player.. not that this means anything in the context of these deals)

-----------

KD will be a Clipper or Knick.. I said the Clippers before the NYK hoopla, so i'll stick with that.. I think the Knicks will end up dealing for AD though.. #3 Mitch, Knox, salary..

then Knicks will sign Kemba to max and not sure where that'd put em $ wise but this is my guess

Things change.

Fairweather fans will flock to the Barclay's Center if the Nets sign KD and Kyrie. Some of youth will be rooting for the Nets instead of the Knicks as well, you can take it to the bank.

Once KD and Kyrie join the Nets, hoping that the basketball gods finally cut us some slack and give us Wiseman or the Ant-Man.

Along with RJ, DSJ, Mitch and company, we will have a core that would take over the league sooner rather than later.

Yep. We’d easily have one of the best cores in the league. People need to be patient for once instead of chasing quick fixes.


I initially doubted the RJ and DSJ pairing but forgot to realize that the latter shoots over 42% in open threes.

Am hoping that Smiff’s summer workouts on his conditioning and shooting really pays off.

If KD and Kyrie join the Nets their rivalry with the Celtics could be huge.

Especially if the two teams end up facing each other in the playoffs.

I’ll be shocked if Kd goes to Brooklyn. I just don’t see that happening.
