Top 8 teams in the east

[L3GEND4RY]

1. Bucks
2. Celtics
3. 76'ers
4. Raptors
5. Pacers
6. Heat
7. Nets
8. Magic

This actually looks the most realistic.

2nd this

Let me guess: You don't know the Nets are without two stars this year. They got the 15th best player in the league surrounded by a bunch of role players. They're not going to do a darn thing this year.

In case you can’t read...Nobody said they were going to win the championship this year.

I hate to disturb a good rant, but you do realize that this thread is talking specifically about the current season? Nobody is making predictions for 2020-21 quite yet.

So with that in mind, I have no idea what point you were trying to make with your original post about the Nets having 2 stars?

We were talking about whether the Nets have depth. The quote I mentioned specifically talked about the depth.

Under the quote I emphasized the part where Zach Lowe states “the Nets have real depth.”

The underlining of 2 stars part was done by the person responding.

At the end of the day the Raptors have the worst wing combo among all the playoff contenders:

SG: Norman Powell / Patrick McCaw
SF: OG Anunoby / Stanley Johnson

Add to that an aging PG (Kyle Lowry 34) and an aging C (Marc Gasol 35) and I’m not sure why we have to be so sigh on them.

[dorkestra]

1. Philadelphia 76ers
2. Milwaukee Bucks
3. Indiana Pacers
4. Toronto Raptors
5. Orlando Magic
6. Miami Heat
7. Brooklyn Nets
8. Detroit Pistons

Honorable Mention: Hawks (who may edge up the Pistons here) Wizards, Bulls

You still wrote the part about the 2 stars, moving the goalposts now doesn’t undo that.

And Lowe talked about the Nets having depth around 2 stars, at least recognize that if one of those stars doesn’t play this season that means they have less depth as somebody has to play Durant’s minutes. Since that was written, Chandler is now suspended now and Kurocs likely to follow suit, that doesn’t look good, so the Nets will lose another key depth piece there.

Aside from Center and PG, I don’t see much depth in Brooklyn. Far less than last season

[MrDollarBills]

I'm going to be honest, anyone in this thread who put the Nets below 5th or have them at barely 8 have no clue about what they're talking about. None. You didn't watch a single game last season.

[MrDollarBills]

1. Bucks
2. Celtics
3. 76'ers
4. Raptors
5. Pacers
6. Heat
7. Nets
8. Magic

This actually looks the most realistic.

Yeah if you're smoking crack. the Nets' roster going into 19-20 is improved.

lets see how this plays out. one team added talent while yours lost one of the top 3 basketball players in the world. i have a feeling these predictions about the Raptors still being a top team w/o Leonard will look hilarious by January.

Let me guess 538 is also wrong about the Nets depth?

user name checks out.

who did we lose and who did we gain? you sound stupid.

Chandler was never going to be a heavy minutes rotational player, anyone even remotely familiar with the Nets' situation knows that he's here only to be a veteran presence. Kurucs' situation is still in the air but unless he gets cut or suspended he's not going to miss significant time. Most likely, Kurucs and Prince will be in the rotation. Both of them are keeping the seat warm for Durant.

but yeah, lets see how this goes down. you Raptor fans swore on god last season that Pascal Siakam is a legit number 1, we'll see how this works out and we'll see how much depth the Nets actually have with multiple guards that can score, three point shooters, and rim running bigs.

The Nets swapped out D'Angelo Russell and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson for Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Yet somehow these geniuses on RealGm look at that as a step backwards.

Lol anytime someone talks about Wilson Chandler as if he was going to play significant minutes over LeVert, Prince, Harris, Kurucs.

Again, you’re mentioning an article about Durant. Again Durant isn’t likely playing this season.

And a base doesn’t mean depth, the base they’re talking about is Irving and Durant.

You seem very confused. I’m sorry about that.

You’re the one trying to prove the Nets are deep, then you write down 4 names and 3 of them will be starters this coming season.

You do understand that starters aren’t considered depth right?

Remember The Brooklyn Nets? They’re Good Now.

Quote from article:

“There’s a reason we hear so much about the Nets eventually landing a player like Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard or Jimmy Butler. Aside from the fact that they’re one of few big-market teams that seemingly has a direction, a blank-enough canvas (in terms of not having a star) and cap space to make something happen, they also would become an instant contender by adding someone of that caliber.”

This is before we added Kyrie, DAJ, and Taurean Prince (long athletic 39% 3 point shooter).

Haha honestly though, I don't have any hard feelings against Butler - will always root for him - and wouldn't be surprised if the Heat were a little better than 6th seed next year.

The nets lost a lot of their culture and gained cancerous divas, yeah they slightly upgraded in talent but I also think they overachieved last year because of strong bonds. The upgrade in talent will get them back to about where they were last year.
