This season is a loss. Kyrie will miss a ton of time and we have no return date for Ben. KD is on his own.
You said era, so I'm talking about not just this season but beyond(Kyrie's not going anywhere as long as KD is here)

So sucking enough for top 5 pick or hitting an even bigger lottery by drafting Joker or Giannis.

They are looking good. That Maxey kid is a star. Maxey > Simmons.

This has not worked out at all in our favor.
Year 1: KD is rehabbing, Kyrie plays like 20 games, Kenny gets fired because DeAndre Jordan thought he was better than JARRET ALLEN, who is now a top 5 center in the sport. 1st round out in the bubble playoffs. A wasted year.
Year 2: Marks makes the worst decision of his GM career by hiring Steve Nash, who is a good cheerleader but doesn't know what else to do besides that. Kyrie begins his erratic behavior, randomly missing games, attending parties while his team was actually playing the same night. We spend a crap ton of assets and traded away an all star center for James Harden, who apparently didn't even have this as his first destination. We get a 1/3rd of a season MVP level play from an out of shape Harden, KD is out for most of it with an injury. Enter the playoffs, we win against an injured Celtics team before going on to lose to the Bucks in 7 with both Kyrie and Harden getting hurt in the process.
Year 3: Harden comes into season out of shape. Kyrie refuses to get vaccinated and CHOOSES to become a part time player. Instead of drawing a hard line in the sand and telling Kyrie to either get vaccinated or start looking for a new team to play for, the Nets coddle him thanks to KD being a garbage leader who doesn't put winning first, drawing the ire of Harden who already has one foot out the door. After a good start thanks to a cupcake schedule we end up in first (while getting blown out by good teams, a sign of things to come), but reality sets in with covid, Harris getting injured part time Kyrie, Nash continues to be the worst coach we've ever seen come through here and KD gets injured. the team freefalls, Harden becomes a cancer and fakes an injury to get traded, the main piece of the trade that comes back to us won't be ready until lord knows when, and Kyrie is still ineligible to play at home.
We are now destined to either miss the playoffs entirely, lose in the play in game, or get bounced in the first round.
Did I sum everything up?
This has been a complete disaster. Are you guys even having fun watching this? I'm not. It hasn't been fun at all since these guys came here to be honest. Its just been drama, injury after injury, garbage coaching, and failure.
Sean Marks needs to fix this mess.

-Kyrie can't be trusted anymore as a serious player
-KD's can't be relied upon to play a full season
-Nash is a horrible coach
-Harden is a quitter who can't face adversity
-Marks lost control of this team a long time ago
Nobody would imagine this team would face the same level of success as the Deron Williams Nets. But thats where were at. 1 2nd round exit may end up being the highlight.
I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
KD is getting older. Why should we have faith anything will change next year?
If we trade KD, Kyrie would opt out and would save us the headache of dealing with his baggage another year. Once he opts out, Nets have leverage of NOT offering a contract, as bizzaro as it sounds, and can then salvage the franchise and rebuild the right way.
MrDollarBills wrote:I don't blame Harden for wanting out. KD doesn't have the balls to tell Kyrie that his part time player routine has cost this team everything, so he went somewhere where guys want to win.
You may not like how he left, but if you can't understand why he left, you are lying to yourself.
If Kyrie gets vaccinated, Harden is still here and we aren't even having this discussion. Instead, we watched KD look exasperated as we got beat by a short handed heat team on the tail end of a B2B while Kyrie is at home playing NBA2K and Ben is...hell, who knows when he will even play and what kind of mental condition he will be when he does play.
It all starts and ends with Kyrie's decision making. He ruined this season.
God I would kill to have Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert here. I would kill to have Kenny still coaching this team. Instead, we get an epic slopshow.

Kyrie shouldnt have to get vaccinated for Harden to get in shape, not quite and not fly to vegas strip clubs between games.
Harden is a bum. period. dude was on a max and killed our season tanking during a 10-game losing streak.
worse then kidd on his way out.

The one unforgivable mistake was trusting Nash to manage this team. Marks deserves to be fired for that alone.
If Nash isn't fired this summer, expect more of this crap.

Why would he be fired? In Marks last press conference, he already praised Nash for getting through everything that has happened this year lol. It’s going to be another “We would’ve won the title if (insert excuse) didn’t happen.”
