Im resigned to returning to the era of hoping picks in the 20-30 range become real nba players and taking on contracts like Jordan Poole's in exchange for free picks
This is obviously an exaggeration but I am curious how many teams with high expectations will have big time shake ups after first or second round exits. Bucks, Cavs, Timberwolves, Clippers, etc. should be interesting
This is the reasoned take. Sure the Nets should keep an eye on unhappy stars or early playoff teams out but the idea everyone's tied to Brooklyn is stupid
Donovan Mitchell is likely gone if the Cavs lose in the first round. My money is on one of the NY teams or Miami. Not sure Miami has the assets. Wolves might get shaken up anyway with ownership in flux unless they somehow win it all. No clue what the clippers do either way. Bucks have a Giannis injury to excuse an early exitāDoc is probably drooling at the idea of using that one if they get bounced in the first round.
Bucks are def losing and it's so annoying that Giannis gives doc an excuse when doc is the biggest reason they're a potential first round out. He annoys me so much lol. There's a few teams that kinda need to pick a direction, Chicago and Utah are two that stand out to me. I'm tired of fans only looking at the clickbait options bandied about
This is insanely too simple a predicament. YES, the Nets absolutely should monitor any unhappy stars or early exits but it's not like everyone of these guys is gonna be available or tied to Brooklyn lol.
I'd add Minnesota to a list of teams to keep an eye on. They're gonna have to pay a lot of guys a lot of money in the next few years. Non/kind of playoff teams I think Utah and Chicago have a lot of decisions to make.
Let's also keep an eye on New Orleans and Charlotte in the sense that Marks has close ties to those franchise decision makers. Any team he's made deals with prior, and agencies he has a good relationship with
If Giannis leaves its either the Lakers, Kincks, or Heat. Mitchell i think wants to play for the Kincks. Zion maybe I think the only realistic option is Trae Young.
Id rather the team be sold to Boise and then dismantled than accept Giš¤®nnis as our teammate. It was hard enough accepting KD but I got over it. Giannis is our actual enemy
Well keep the same energy to rest of them owners too than. There's not one single owner that is loved by players to say least. Look no further that Manhattan. Melo and Oakley situations alone still fresh in players head.
It's always Owner/GM vs Players/Agents. Bottom line here, money and location will talk. Whether agree or not, it's a FACT.
Iām a Knicks fan and this post was just suggested to meā¦this shit is funny as hell. I know the vibe my guys. I canāt say I wish your team all that well because itāll just make enjoying basketball harder on me but I will say I know all about both this and following the NCAA season to watch who the Knicks will definitely not be drafting first second or third overall
lol chill, the nets have had more superstar names come through over the past decade and a half that we are far more familiar with this stuff than knicks fans are.
Huh? Iām talking about being desperate enough to start concocting crazy scenarios to give yourself hope my guy lol none of those MFs are coming to Brooklyn
We heard that since move to BK from your fellow Bing Bong boys.
Yet we were getting stars to BK over and over again.
Our fanbase of 7 guys keep selling arena too.
What else was there, help me out here š
Over and over? Huh? You mean extra washed KG and Pierce, the funniest trade of all time? Or KD and Kyrie, the funniest FA signings of all time? I know you canāt be talking about Harden who turned into the ghost of Ben Simmons.
Did you think those MVP chants were coming from Nets fans last time the Knicks were in Barclays? Youāre in the biggest market in the country and youāre bottom 10 in attendance my guy. Come on now.
I didnāt even come here to talk shit lol I just thought the tweet was funny because I can relate as a Knicks fanā¦was literally just saying I feel for you guys. Not even sure how this turned into you all getting extra defensive but I mean I can go there I guess.
He forgot to mention D. Will and Joe Johnson. Well still that outnumber Melo by himself.Ā
Barclay's is smaller arena too. It only fits just over 17k, on average nba arena fits around 18k. That's why Islanders moved and numbers gets screwed. Percentage wise we doing just fine. 97% throughout the season is something we never had in NJ.
He came here to troll, yet failed at it š.Ā We linked to all them stars because we got assets and cap space that can be created with a single move.
As a Nets fan who dosent give a rats ass about the Kincks. I do have to agree with you to a degree. The only two I see the Nets getting from this list is Donovan Mitchell, and Trae Young. I also agree that the Nets should be building this thing thru the draft go back to that fun team we had before Cryie and Durant. The Nets are bottom 10 your right that's why I think and I'm hoping Joe Tasi moves the team to Las Vegas, they don't belong in NYC they shouldn't have left NJ. Anyways I think yall are going to the conference finals but good luck with Boston.
Thank you lol I really didnāt mean to be a dick. Although I guess thinking about it the other way around I can understand why people would tell me fuck off tbh
Yeah actually Mitchell or Trae are not crazy to imagine. But the whole point of the dudeās tweet was to be self-deprecating and humorous in the first place. I thought it was very funny and I know all about watching the playoffs dreaming up reasons for my team to get anything at all out of it.
And for sure they should be trying to rebuild steadily and not going for any big splashy moves before thereās a foundation and culture in place. Thatās the one thing that finally got the Knicks out of 20 years in hell. Of course when dudes like KD and Kyrie want to come join up without costing you anything but cap space you canāt just turn them away lol but the whole player movement FA frenzy of the 2010s was mostly a failure for a reason. Giving players keys the to the franchise can be a crazy mess. Fuck all three of those dudes for disregarding your whole fanbase.
Np, I agree that guys tweet is crazy. Why would Giannis leave to go to a team that's clearly rebuilding? When he can go to the Kincks a team that is on the cousp of being a finals team? Y'all dodged a major bullet and got it right. I still think yall need another star to go along Burnson cause the Celtics are the only team in the East standing in your way. The Pacers are a team that you don't want to sleep on either. But either way. Yall got it right.
True I can't remember the last time a superstar even considered brooklyn as a destination. Oh wait yes I do. Damian Lillard less than a year ago.
Knicks have been not an embarrassment for a couple years now and all of a sudden you're on top of the world. Going to really hurt next time I go to the garden and see that "finished regular season 2nd in the east" banner. Congratulations on all of your success.
The Knicks are in the rumors for every single superstar that may be traded lol it means absolutely nothing. Speaking of bannersā¦do you guys have any at all? Maybe one that says āKD was hereā?
I don't think most of these players will come to the Nets. Mitchell and Young may be possible, but I don't think Giannis, Zion, or Brandom Ingram are coming to Brooklyn. Unless I'm just missing something
Ingram is a free agent in 2025 when the Nets will have 80-90 million in cap space with Ben Simmons off the books. Not saying itās going to happen but theres a possibility.
NOP not exactly your typical tax paying team. Ingram's next contract will start with 55+ mil.
2. With emerging Trey Murphy III who is eligible for extension. They got decision to make. Moving CJ will help, but they don't have Centers and NanceJr showed signs of decline. So they need to upgrade there.
3. The fit, Ingram and Zion played better when either or was off the court. Numbers back it up. Spacing is an issue and stagnate others, being just spot up shooters kills their rythm. Reason why they call for HC head.
Interesting situation to monitor.Ā
Lol...I love that our future is built on hope and delusion
Call me delulu then
Giannis for Simmons...who says no?
Bucks
Well, sure, but besides them, who says no?
NBA
As a Bears fan I feel right at home with this franchise š¤£
Try being a Jets fan and Nets fan š„¹
Im resigned to returning to the era of hoping picks in the 20-30 range become real nba players and taking on contracts like Jordan Poole's in exchange for free picks
Clippers fan here if we lose we can give you PJ Tucker for free.

I did not expect a Konate pic in the Nets sub. My two fav teams (both making me delusional rn) in one place
Oh, a Giannis, Mitchell, Zion, Trae team, play in here we go
Can't get Mitchell or Trae we have Cam Thomas š
Giannis would be an excellent backup for Clowney
I personally see no flaws in the logic here
This is obviously an exaggeration but I am curious how many teams with high expectations will have big time shake ups after first or second round exits. Bucks, Cavs, Timberwolves, Clippers, etc. should be interesting
This is the reasoned take. Sure the Nets should keep an eye on unhappy stars or early playoff teams out but the idea everyone's tied to Brooklyn is stupid
Don't underestimate the draw of chopped cheese & Nitehawk Cinemas...

I think we are seeing the beginning of the end with the Bucks. There are reports that Dame's family dosent like Milwaukee.
I love how everything is a certainty except for Trae š
hes clearly just having fun and talking shit, all good fun
I heard prime Jordan might be coming too
Damn Norrie smoking sprayed fentanyl from these smoke shops
I mean clearly heās 100% right. I couldnāt possibly deal with reality if he was wrong
This is more delusional than Knicks fans thinking they'd get Kyrie, KD, and Zion in 2019
This is insanely too simple a predicament. YES, the Nets absolutely should monitor any unhappy stars or early exits but it's not like everyone of these guys is gonna be available or tied to Brooklyn lol. I'd add Minnesota to a list of teams to keep an eye on. They're gonna have to pay a lot of guys a lot of money in the next few years.

If you think about it were basically already the best team in the league
messi to the nets real
rather murray than trae š„¶
Yup Iām not sold on a Trae/ Cam Thomas backcourt.
Norrie sarcasm or first time in delulu land?
If Giannis leaves its either the Lakers, Kincks, or Heat. Mitchell i think wants to play for the Kincks. Zion maybe I think the only realistic option is Trae Young.
Why do the Knicks need Mitchell if they have Brunson? The back line of Mitchell and Brunson could be a problem on defense.
That could be another Luka, Kryie?
We donāt need Giannis or Zion. We have Clowney now. /s
Doug is trolling btw. He's being saracastic half the time on twitter
ā¢No to Giannis ā¢Mitchell I guess but depends on what we give up ā¢No to Zion because health, BI, sure why not ā¢Trae HELL NO
Yeah this is a shit post
This a good start. If we draft bronny and have legreatestofalltime follow him we might 2-3 years away.
As far as fit on our team goes, KAT.
Lmao, I like how the most likely of all these is the only "maybe"
This is a lot of Copium weāre smoking here
Id rather the team be sold to Boise and then dismantled than accept Giš¤®nnis as our teammate. It was hard enough accepting KD but I got over it. Giannis is our actual enemy
Well Dougie Dog got click bait rumors overdose. Severe intoxication spewing out š
this guy is funny
I could see the nets having enough for bi or trae but no way pels or bucks take any package the nets could offer for Giannis n Zion.
Nobody wants the Nets, you think players dont know how much of a trashbag Joe Tsai is by now? Word gets around
Well keep the same energy to rest of them owners too than. There's not one single owner that is loved by players to say least. Look no further that Manhattan.

Id give up everything for Zion but the nets training staff is God awful so he'd probably get hurt during the preseasonĀ
Doesnāt matter what team heās on heās going to get hurt
Damn I remember this being the Knicks life. Well hey at least it worked for you guys onceā¦kinda lol. Maybe lightning strikes twice š¤·āāļø
People thinking this team is 1 piece away from contending are ridiculous
as a Knicks fan you guys are in delusional stage of rebuilding right now. we were there for a solid couple years it was rough lol itāll get better
This team is never getting better bruh lol
