The Nets - What are they?

[Jeffrey]

Future is bright for them. Sean Marks has an eye for talent and makes smart moves. Kenny Atkinson is a good coach who gets his team to play hard and smart. They have a very nice young core, especially considering the difficult situation they were in draft wise.

I think Jarrett Allen-Caris LeVert-D'Angelo Russell with Spencer Dinwiddie as the sixth man is their main core going forward. One of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Rodions Kurucs or Dzanan Musa probably makes his way into the starting lineup going forward. The other starter probably needs to be a FA acquisition, they need a star to lead this core.

Kawhi Leonard would look really good with the Nets.. he looks good everywhere. I think Tobias might land with the Nets. Really promising stuff from them.

My dream signings this off season is one Max Cat like Kawhi, Julius Randle for around $12-$15 Mil, and restricted offer to Frank the Tank Kaminsky. Add two first round picks...and we got a top 4 seed in the East.

Did u just type “Max” and “Randle” in the same sentence and you still feel ok? I feel sick just asking

Sean Marks is friends with Kawhi’s uncle and Kawhi is very familiar with Sean Marks and Tiago Splitter after that championship run. We have a few other former Spurs staffers that Kawhi’s been with since SA drafted him.

We’re just not that ‘sexy’ for pundits to run with compared to the Clippers or Knicks right now.

[XtremeDunkz]

If the Nets make the playoffs, Atkinson has to be coach of the year.

[RB34]

They have one of the best commentary teams in the business.

[C3H6N6O6]

I really feel bad when Nets and Knicks are doing badly because both their commentary teams are great. I watched nearly all of the Knicks games when they won 54 with Melo, Kidd and JR.
At least Nets are doing well.

Julius randle is the absolute worst fit in the league for the nets. that would be a horrific signing.

Russell - Levert - Joe Harris - Kahwi - Allen would be an outstanding team...

and a Dinwiddie - Crabbe - RHJ - Kurucs -Davis bench would be among the leagues best.

??...I said a Max Cat Kwahi AND Julius Randle....two separate people.

And to the other poster, why would Randle be such a bad fit? The Nets don't need a bruising PF that can score and rebound and defend the low post?? What games are you watching?

[Dogen]

It would be awesome if Leonard or Durant bucked the superfriends trend and said “I got my rings, now I want to prove I can do it again by leading a promising young team”.

I’m not holding my breath, but that would make for a better story than the ones we’ve had, like star players threats to sit out if they don’t get what they want. Divas.

Exaggerate much!!? The Nets have TWO players over 6'10"...why the hell wouldn't they need another big man that can bang? Have you even watched New Orleans this year?? Randle is exactly who The Nets need. Every player on the team doesn't have to shoot threes.

[Rockice_24]

They are the hottest team in the league right now no denying that. Their 6 game win streak carrying as the current longest in the NBA after a win against King James and his band of misfit toys.

He’s been mentoring young guys , though.

Nets assistant coach and director of player development Adam Harrington helped set up a one-week group training session with LeVert, former Net Sean Kilpatrick, Hall of Famer Steve Nash and Durant in California. Harrington was Durant’s shooting coach in Oklahoma City before he left for Brooklyn.

Durant, who assured LeVert he would be “like brand new” after O’Malley worked on him, reminded the younger forward to stay the course and not get too anxious.

[Yoshun]

I think most Net fans feel we're in a good position. Where missing top tier talent, but we have a nice team to build around and are moving in the right direction. We're a young and rebuilding team with some talent though, so naturally we're going to have games where we play really well and beat teams like the 6ers and games where we lose to teams like Cleveland.

I'm really missing Caris LeVert though. He's was my pick for most improved player on the team early last season and it certainly looked like he was heading in that direction. I was hoping he would have a really good season.

Nice, thanks for sharing. KD would look good starting with LeVert next year.

[HotelVitale]

I get the optimism here after all the dark days, but the last couple pages of this thread are pretty pipe-dreamy. Gathering a handful of solid players isn't usually a good recipe for a rebuild--seems to me that tends to end up somewhere between the current Magic and the current Pistons (with maybe the pre-Rose Bulls as the most optimistic comp). Very soon they'll either have to pay those decent guys well, or they'll have to give a few up to go after some better players who still won't make them much.

Not trying to rain on parades, just saying that I would be really really nervous if I was Marks and had a mandate to build a long-term winner. Seems like they need a lot of luck to break out of that treadmill zone--do other people see it differently?

Don't compare Nets commentary to the Knicks. We are far superior. Frazier only vocabulary is perculate and has a very monotone personality.

[Jeff Van Gully]

a team doing its best despite the cards billy king dealt it.

all things considered, they are very impressive. if i were a net fan, i'd be proud.
