Call me crazy but I think Nets are in the WORST position of any team. Obviously Wizards and Pistons are struggling now but they can tank and have their picks.

Nets got greedy as fuck. KD and Kyrie wasn’t enough so you had to relinquish the rights to your picks for 5 years for Harden?

Nets are spending close to $170m this year. Ben is owed $40m next season. They don’t have their pick in 2024/2026. 2025/2027 are swaps and Houston is looking decent and I’d imagine are gonna be solid in 2025 & 2027.

So Nets CANT tank. If they miss playoffs they will lose lottery picks to Houston. They’re not good enough to compete with this current roster.

They do have the Suns picks but feels like they will all be worse than their own.

Really feels like this team is gonna be stuck at the 8-11 seed next 2-3 years. Not have their own pick. Not have the best cap to sign free agents.

Cam Thomas and Claxton are seen as solid young pieces but you have to pay them soon.

Just feels like the team is stuck in mediocrity right now. Mikal is good and potential all-star but that’s the best right there. Ben doesn’t have trade value. Cam Johnson is solid but idk how much he goes for either. And if you sell, you can’t just tank bc then you lose your pick.

But it’s their fault they handed Tatum and Brown to the Celtics on a silver platter they deserve this shit for not trying atleast one season of Kyrie and KD together. Championship favorites go all-in like really All-in was nuts.

All I can say is they’re lucky they got to move KD for a massive haul. If he walked last offseason instead of the extension we’d be seeing Bobcats level bad play w no Bridges or Johnson and no Suns pick. We’d see Rockets clean up more lottery picks while Nets win 9 games

So yeah that loss did fuck them

Jalen Brunson is kid like actually mid

Probably 10-12 PGs better than him.
