So in your estimation the Nets are contending thus year?
No way are the nets contenders this year. Kyrie was picked apart in the playoffs, his scouting report is out. It was pretty obvious. I was prying that we didn’t get the flat earth chucker, and I laughed my ass off when the nets signed him over D Russ who is a younger better player.
The only player I was kinda disappointed we didn’t get was Kawhi but the guy had his heart set on LA. Can’t blame him for having hometown pride. But the clips lost everyone in the process it’s a bunch of C players with one super star KL and one star in PG13
If you ask me the warriors are still the team to beat in the west they have the best chemistry.
Don’t forget AD isn’t signing long term in LA this is one reason why we signed everyone to one year deals with team options.
We’ll probably reward a few but leave max space for stars plus if there is a disgruntled star. We have tradable assets.
If you ask me we haven’t been in this great of shape with youth and assets since we made the mistake of trading them all away for MELO.
I disagree, Kyrie is an excellent player, but the guys around him were not all on the same page. In fact the guys around seem to have taken a step back. It's always easy to point the finger at the best player, but Brown and Tatum looked nothing like they did in the 2018 playoffs.
You never going to win if everyone isn't on the same page. Everybody on that Raptors team were on the same page, everybody stepped up, coach, role players, Gm, President, Star.
This roster we have now seems to be a hard nose roster, if everyone puts their ego's aside, if the coach pushes the right buttons at the right time, if perry and mills make a few trades(by the deadline) where he sees fit, If they youngs (at least 2 or 3 of them) level up..we should be a much improve team.
We lost 60+ games on purpose
