That nets team is the most collected in toxicity I've ever seen. Gross.

This was as predictable as Davis to the Lakers. I've been saying for months harden's absolutely going to Brooklyn

Regardless not a good day for the East. No one in the East is going to beat Brooklyn. The owners are completely powerless and plays just point to where they want to play and the owners put them there. This doesn't happen on any other sports league and the NBA is an absolute joke at this point.

Kyrie can singlehandedly beat the Nets.

They just acquired another top 5 player, barring injuries it’s hard to see them lose out in the East.

Sure they might give up 140 a game but they’ll put up 160.


these are three individuals with fragile egos and combustible personalities. It would not surprise me if 1, 2, or all three are demanding trades within 1-2 years. They're going for it and hoping to finally bring a championship to BK. They barely paid anything too. They can recoup those lost picks by trading any of the three if there are issues in the future. And if there aren't, and they stay together for 3-4 years, those picks will be late 1st anyway. The real damage will be felt years 5-8 when they no longer have these guys and are giving away potential high picks but even then, they probably feel it's worth it and can mitigate that by trading these guys down the road.

This just made things difficult, on the bright side there's only one ball and LeVert is a known Celtics killer.

Ha ha nets have the 3 weakest minded stars. That will be a good regular season team but not in the playoffs having known quitters mean that locker room is going to be I'm the man, no I'm the man scenario

More pressure on the owners to build properly and not take stars for granted. Sort of a good thing

People worried about the nets now?

Hardens fat as ****

Kyrie is about to retire and run for mayor or some ****

And Brooklyn has zero **** bench now and lost their best center.

I'm laughing right now.

Two guys coming off injury and another a Twinkie short of his ankles breaking. I sure don't fear the Nets this year.


I want to believe you. One of those guys coming off injury is putting up 30/8/6 on 68% TS


They are all talented players no doubt. But they end up with 2 headcases and another that had a major leg injury. I just don't see the fit.

I got enough faith in KD that this will work. He’s that good.

Time to start calling Smart and RW3 borderline all stars until it sticks, then we can trade them for Beal.

Nets offer has been out there for a month or two. This happened now because Harden set his locker room on fire last night. There are reports out there that Boogie and Wall were going to beat his ass. You could clearly see Boogie's anger at the press conference.
