1) The f-ckload of terrible offer sheets Marks was freely handing out to players circa year two; 2) Despite a year more's evidence, still not learning his lesson on the Crabbe trade (not to mention, weirdly unable to get a #1 pick in the trade, when almost every other GM would likely have been able to); 3) Shaking up the bench this season to disastrous effect; 4) Doing such a great job with DLo, observing the chemistry he built with the other players, then jettisoning the experiment for an older PG with a long history of injury concerns; 5) There might be some smaller moves that I'm not remembering right now, but in place of that, point one could probably be expanded at least another slot.
Now, understand I'm mainly just bitching here, Proky. That was the point of my original post, after all. Just like when you check your al dente pasta, the proper thing is to sling it at the wall and see if it sticks. We call that "tradition."
The idea we should have kept russell isntead of teaming kyrie and durant is ABSURD. You know how often you get a chance at a top 3 NBA player? like once every 25-30 years.
Yeap, when your life raft is built on little more than inflated hope, that's how that works.
Do you see what we're doing here? We're hoping and wishing and wanting an aging, drastically-injured superstar to come back near his best level, and that another superstar with recurrent health concerns will come back, stay healthy together, and somehow propel us over a bunch of far-more stacked, efficient teams than what we have, currently or likely in future.
The thing is, I'm not the one clinging to that particular life raft. It's the majority of Nets fans currently doing that. I'm happy to be proven completely wrong, of course, and thanks for the cool video links.
