Nets: Brooklyn Nets will compete for conference le..

[Basketballgirl25]

trading away every possible pick and handing out insane contracts while still remaining a middle in the pack team isn't skrewing it up?

Can't say they are screwed up, since this team hasn't even played together yet. Once they played you can say they are screwed up. For now you can't tell

It wasn't regarding the next 1,5 yeras where I somewhat like them (without giving them any chance of getting out of the East). It was more about the time afterward.

Give it two weeks in camp and Garnett will slug someone smaller and Deron Williams will hate on Kidd...

I love the trade for the Nets IMO. Yeah it kills them for the future and the luxury is high and are a very over paid team. But if the owner doesn't care then it really doesn't matter...

The thing that I love bout the new Nets is that each player will have a role that fits them.

Deron Williams- Before last year he was a top 5pg and arguably the most complete...this trade helps him the most. Passing and getting others going is his best trait. Won't need to score like he's done in the past and will play the Rondo role like. He could easily average 10+ assist next year.

Joe Johnson- Highly over paid player. But it doesn't matter when your boss doesn't give a damn. He gets to be the Phx Joe Johnson. Just shoot it. He doesn't need to be a superstar and teams can't focus their gameplan to stop him. If you can over look his salary I kilt what he can bring to this team.

Paul Pierce- Just like Manu. He may not be the same player and can't carry the load but if he's your 3rd to 4th best player...you gotta love that. He'll be great coming off screens and getting to the line. If they can hide him on defense I expect a big year from him

Kevin Garnett- Grab boards and play D. Period. Lopez health will determine his production. Curious to see how he plays next to Lopez. Great pick and pop player with Dwill. Just wont have to carry like he did last year. Can he stay healthy?

Brook Lopez- Can his feet hold up? He's the biggest difference maker IMO. If he's healthy come Playoffs. They will do damage and can contend for le. KG makes up for his lack of rebounding and defense. But he's offensively most talented big in the East. He's just gotta stay healthy.

They have no bench...lol but a bench isn't needed come playoff time. It just comes down to health. But knowing what we know now with rosters etc.. They're 2nd best team in Eastern Confernce.

$176 million cluster with an incapable HC, tbh. Just like the Lakers.

OP is the same dumbass who told me Baron Davis would make the Clippers into contenders and then started acting like a pissy cunt when I told him Davis was overrated after one good postseason.

Fatass Baron Davis

The Nets have been a ty franchise since the NJ days and it got even tier after moving across the hudson bay. It must suck to be a New Yorker and a basketball fan imho

Son most bball fans around here are front runners. You dont see them when "their" team is sucking balls. Only when they're good to playoff contenders.

Its all about their Giants and Jets here. Oh and yeah, Yankees.

What I don't understand is Garnett going to slaughter with nary a beef. I thought he walked tall. No. His belly is draggin'.

Crawl, mother er, crawl.

^Ainge called in a marker and KG had nary other option.

Look at ya:::Charlie Potatoes. Almost mashed potatoes though. But, almost is only for horseshoes, hand grenades and DUNCAN at the Chuckbox.

^You like geezer, sweetheart?

^Rumpot with the goods.

Just look at all the basketball related talk, all technical and s.

[Chomag]

Well...there is still a chance for them to win the division le you have Boston leading at 12-16. My god the east is a freaking joke!

Would they have a parade?

it wasn't that he was overrated or had 1 good post season, he was getting up there in age and had suffered just too many injuries.

[Budkin]

I thought they would be right up there contending tbh. Never thought they would be as bad as they are.

[Seventyniner]

Maybe the Nets can transfer to the Big East, they should be able to win that conference.
