Ric Bucher just said on radio down to Knicks vs Nets and in his opinion - Knicks > Nets

Honestly, I don't disagree.

I'm still not getting all this talk about the Nets being a better win now team, the "extraordinary" things they were able to accomplish and how "they know what they're doing". They're a .500 team. Without D'Angelo Russell having a resurrection season they'd have been right there with the Knicks and the rest of the stink pack in the lottery hunt. Russell? He's an UFA and no guarantee to even return. And 3 of their other key rotation players from last season are also free agents. The reality is there is no guarantee that half the team from last seasons 42 win season will even be back. Russell and Carroll by themselves count $45 million in cap holds. Rondae-Hollis Jefferson and Ed Davis another $14 milion in cap hold. They'd have to renounce them all to sign 2 max players.

What happened to the report that the Nets were second guessing signing Kyrie if he doesn’t bring KD with him?

[Knox]

Same. He's a proven playoff performer. Last season was just cancerous for the entire team. I can see him putting up good numbers if he's the main guy at pg. Just needs to improve his overall shooting. 39 percent overall is not cutting it.

I think he has that potential but I don’t feel we should give him a contract based on that potential. We should pay him accordingly until he shows other words. I still say we should go get Lonzo but that’s me

What if it's a short term 2 year deal?

Still say no?

Others may disagree but I would be good with it. I will only have a problem if they promote The Rozier signing as if he is Kyrie or Kawhi
His shooting definitely needs work but we should break the bank for him over two seasons. What has he proven to demand a huge two year contract ?

Every 6 months or so a new superstar appears on the trade market. Screw 2 year deals. Take on bad contracts and ask for picks so we have the ammo for the next max trade

I really hope Kawhi doesn’t go to the Lakers.. I was looking forward to the nba being wide open..another super team centered around Lebron and even worse the Lakers..ugh

Agreed if we strike out build a war chest and wait

I want Anferne Simons bad. Would love to take on a bad Portland contract to steal him. I’d prob trade DSJ for him.

Would you guys say yes to taking on Blake’s contract for free essentially? I’ve gone back and forth on it. Blake’s resurgence in Detroit has been fun to watch. He doesn’t rely on athleticism anymore.

3 years left on his contract FYI. Coming off 24/7/5 season.

Kemba - Allen
Dotson - Trier
Barrett - Frank
Blake - Knox
Mitch - Kornet

Is a 50 win team and an Eastern Conference contender.

Too much Amare vibes for me.
For all we know, this past season could’ve been his peak. Our luck, we get him and he starts an aggressive regression.

[Mecca]

Next max guys that might be flipped:

Beal
KAT
Blake
LaVine
Jrue
McCollum

It died cause it wasn't click bait enough for the 2 dozen or so Net fans that show up at Barclay's center for each game to keep running with it. Here that KD and Kyrie? It'll be 4 dozen when you guys sign up.

So we can be like the Celtics?

I see your point, and I wouldn’t love it either, but Blake was just so damn good this past season. Love his offensive profile.

[Jimmit79]

At least we not the Magic.

Careful if KD or KL doesn't sign I could see Perry going all out for his Orlando rejects.

Better than throwing 2-3 year overpays and being a treadmill team

[SARGO127]

I would take on Blake if we could sign Leonard.

[Mecca]

I’ve heard Brogdon to Chicago has legs. Can see them giving LaVine away, who I would be all over. You just need to cover him defensively.

I'd definitely take LaVine.
