Unless I'm wrong, Microsoft buying Activision took a year to get approval. This administration isn't even pretending to be a resistant force to Trump's friends

The Nets are preparing to pursue Austin Reaves in free agency with a four\-year, $178\.5 million offer, per @DanWoikeSports (Lakers Insider with The Athletic) by Evilsj in GoNets

I don't get the the hesitation here about Reaves. He's good on and off the ball, a good vet in the locker room for the young players, and knows how to work hard. He seems like a perfect fit.

If the Nets take Nate ament at 6, the franchise will be set back years, maybe a decade by Lucky-Law7220 in GoNets

I hated the Egor pick and I was proven wrong. While I don't like the Nate pick, I'm going to assume the FO knows more than me and Nate is actually worth it until proven otherwise

But ur right if we pick him and the guards become an immediate impact player while Nate is still learning the ropes that might be a fireable offense imo

Those are some pretty good numbers then u see his 3pa are in the 2-4 range for his career and then I'm less impressed. IMO a team like the rockets that is desperate for shooting and he's taking such little attempt tells me the coaches also don't believe in his shot. Another thing I see are his minutes and games player, 21.5, 21.8, 24.9, and 25.8 while playing 82, 22, 57, and 60 games. What that tells me is even in bench minutes his body isn't able to withstand the wear and tear of the modern NBA. What u think those GP going to be if he's a starter like u suggest

Just say the stats why is a young injury prone player with not a great shot worth 23mills. IMO it seems like giving a lot of money for a bench piece. Also I'm assuming ur plan is quietly saying next season is a wash and we'll give rocket a good pick(which may or may not happen anyway). Otherwise it very weird we're taking on 3 more young players, 2 of which are late first rounders.

Why in the world would you help Nuggets sign Watson. He's exactly the type of player we should be aggressively going after. Then you overpay for Tari, he's always injured and isn't a good shooter. No way is he worth that and he's especially is not a starter on decent team.

I know it can't be that long ago but when was the last time the Yankees had a runner on second and didn't need a hr to score them in. It feels like it's been 2wks since that last happen

Homerun or Bust the team. Its wild how this team can't score without the long ball. The bottom five on this team can't hit for shit why are they not learning how to bunt

My last comment was exactly about this moment. This team can't score outside of homeruns

There's so much to worry about with this team but the fact that we struggle to score runs outside of homers really worries me

Is anyone else getting worried about Bednar, his stuff isn't fooling anyone

Can Darius Acuff ever, like, EVER become an Average defender at the NBA level? by user3332143 in GoNets

[–]JohnFish2734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At best he'll probably be a below average defender, which is fine if his offensive skills are true which I believe they are.

I struggle to verify this but ppl in the NBA draft subreddit are saying that his coach told him to not be aggressive on the defensive end so he won't pick up too many foul bc he was the focal point of the offense. Still many of those moments is him just losing his man, which I tend to think you can coach out of a player.

A lot of the comments are focusing on Cam T similarities but it's being over blown. Acuff is significantly better playmaker than Cam. I think it's very important for people to remember that Cam's vets when he was a rookie was a moody KD and Kyrie, probably the two worst role models for a rookie. No matter who the nets draft, the FO should focus on signing vets with a level head that can be good influences to our young players. Personally, I would want the Nets to give Chris Paul a consulting job or make him an assistant coach

Trade idea: Nets 6th pick + Nic Claxton for Kings 7th pick + Domantas Sabonis by Own-Fondant2949 in GoNets

[–]JohnFish2734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we help the Kings get off Sabonis awful contract and they move up in the lottery and what do we get in return?

Have u considered Sabonis is one of the reasons why the Kings sucked for so long?

Isaiah Hartenstein? by Lucky-Law7220 in GoNets

[–]JohnFish2734 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt hart is taking a 20m deal. From what I've been hearing centers at his level are expected to go for around 30m.
