OT: Bruno sighting

[ruckus]

can you imagine having Bruno for the 76ers series and having to make the call if Bruno or Kawhi should have taken that last shot?

Thankfully Nurse was spared from making such a difficult decision.

[Kevin Willis]

Next post-achilles-tear KD, sure

OT but :It is amazing how overhyped the Nets are because they signed Durant and Irving.

The Nets suck...and Sean Marks is incredibly overrated.

People give him the benefit of the doubt because he took over the Nets when they were completely rock bottom, with no lotto picks.

He had full autonomy and an unlimited budget to absorb bad contracts, and put together a team of decent but middling talent. Jarret, Caris, and Dinwiddie are solid players but none will ever be starting on any sort of a contender. Decent role players, but severely overrated (just because they were drafted late).

He traded for D'Angelo Russell, who they didn't want to commit to long term anyway... and they traded a late pick for him that turned out to be Kuzma (who is more valuable now).

They made the playoffs, only because the East is five-deep and this team had zero potential for being anything other than first round fodder for years to come.

Main reason for their contender status is that Kyrie was a Nets fan growing up.

That's it.

Sean's moves were neither bad nor good. Just kinda expected, and they had unlimited funds and autonomy to do it.

All true but compared to Billy King, Sean Marks looks like Masai.

Dimwiddie, Caris and Jarrret wouldn't necessarily be elite starters (though Jarrett would start on the Lakers this year and be part of a monstrous defensive front-court) but they're very capable role-players. A lot of rosters would love to have them playing 20 impactful minutes off the bench and a lot of that has to do with how good they are at playing within their role. Say what you want about Marks, he got a team of cast-aways to buy in and perform for a franchise that wasn't remembered as anything but the enablers of the worst trade in the past 10 years. A lot of renowned coaches have been fired for losing the locker-room so its importance shouldn't be understated.

Marks is easily a top-3 GM in the NBA. What he did with that team is nothing short of masterful. The Nets were literally the worst situation in the NBA.

Umm No.....

Navigating the crap cap and pick situation they were in took skill. Serious revisionist history going on here. If they didn't have cap space and a solid nucleus of players this summer there was no way they get kyrie and Durant. Sean Marks should be getting a tonne of credit for rebuilding that team.

Man, if Sean Marks is "incredibly overrated", then what the hell do you call Danny Ainge? An English phrase hasn't yet been invented that describes Ainge's recent professional status, but in math terms it would be:

(incredibly overrated) to the nth power, where n = the number of first round picks Danny has had over the last five seasons.

[RaptorsNorth]

One more month guys. One more month and you won't have to make irrealvent threads about ex players other than kawhi, green and of course JV every time a new picture of him hits the net.

[dTox]

How the hell can someone say Marks is overrated, give your head a shake.

[raps14]

can you imagine having Bruno for the 76ers series and having to make the call if Bruno or Kawhi should have taken that last shot?

Wouldn't have bounced on the rim, would have been a swish if Bruno took it. This I am sure of.

The best thing Ainge ever did as an exec is to talk his buddy McHale into gifting him KG.

We gave up too soon on the yute

It would be bouncing for two years.

[SaveTheHens]

I think he's just 2 years away.... From being 2 years away lol

[Bankai]

Fran Fraschilla was right. Its been 4 years and Bruno has now arrived.

[DreamTeam09]

He would be perfect in houston right now. My mavs could also use him at the 3.

He is a very good GM but what do we really think of Brooklyn if KD doesn't decide to go to a big market? I'd say not much. Kyrie? He's a seriously entitled bum wad.

I thought this was an entirely new Bruno topic and I got excited.

I thought this was another tiger7 grabbing a photo with Bruno type situation. Disappointed.

[Son Goku 25]

He will be guarding Kawhi in the finals as a Raptor
