I love how the media have such a boner for the Nets, they all praised that trade last year in which they gave up all their picks for 2 past it players and went way over the cap. The kind of stuff we used to get blasted for (and rightly so). What do they have to show for it? KG is no longer effective and Pierce has just gone for nothing.

Pierce and Garnett were Starphuchs and its not the Media that got the boner, they are the "Fluffer"!!!

Fans lop that stuff up and see the names and Media tells you to be excited, and then tells you they are over the hill!!!
Letting Pierce go was financial.
As far as the draft picks go, they have made good use of getting younger. The Russian they got from Cleveland was a 19th First rounder and only 20 years old. The other kid they are signing with the MLE is a second round pick who would be a decent first rounder from what I have read. Thats like getting Two as far as infused talent and getting younger. Plumlee was a much better pick given his position. This takes the sting of what they lost.

Mirza really came on last year and at 6-8 a better value than pierce at this point.

The kidd hiring was not BIlly Kings fault and was a disaster!!

With Jack as backup and (the big "IF) Deron and BroPez returning from surgery in good form this Nets Team could be better than last years addition even with Blatch (Likely) and Pierce gone.

Was a stupid trade and not the route I'd go and I get why the Nets did it but I don't think the loss of the picks is that toxic.
Smack, maybe its the "Boner" YOU get when the Nets do something you deem stupid?

I'm not going to lie, watching the Nets mess up is one of my simple pleasures in life Mainly because they seemed to get such an easy ride by the media for the past few years.

Their pick situation is a disaster, one that really sets a franchise back for years (as we know only too well!)

It was a great signing in contrast to losing him for nothing. His value was higher to miami. From finals participant to cellar dweller would kill revenue.

Anybody know if they got their own picks next two years?

If they can Deng in they will still be a playoff team.

Nets, Sneaky they got yoothier with BogoWhatever and the 20 year old russian kid.

I prefer the a strong rivalry, not one stock in mediocrity!!!

Ironically the Cavs have the Heats first round pick this season, though it is top ten protected.

that is too funny.

They preserve cap flexibility for next year as well with Lin's ending contract. This is blowing up on Morey's face since Melo and Bosh went back to their respective teams. Now they might also lose Parsons. I guess Reezy is a good consolation prize.

Well, at least Morey eventually paid a price for stealing Lin from us, and damning us to Felton!

Dont know what houston was thinking. They could have had him on the roster this year for peanuts.

Lost Bosh, who seemed to be all but signed to one of his home state teams.

Lost Parsons- a nice complimentary player, for nothing

Had to give up a #1 to get out of that foolish Lin contract

Got Ariza, who did well with the Wizards, but who now has to find a way to thrive in Houston's Harden heavy offense.
