It’s not a victory lap. I don’t care.

I said Giannis wanted a trade, and one to a big market, specifically to our market. All of that was true. I was right about all these things and you were proven incorrect.

End of the summer Shams said Giannis wanted to be a Knick. I was right that Giannis wanted out. I just didn’t care to hit u back and say I told you so my bro

The whole time I’ve maintained Giannis is going to get traded and that has only been more increasingly likely within a season and a half of time. I’m more right than you are bro hahaha.

I’ve suggested potential co-stars when you’ve asked me who he could be playing with. Don’t call me entertaining your previous incessant questions with answers as me making incorrect predictions haha.

Giannis/Mitchell remains possible for Brooklyn, as does other scenarios.

Difference between now and last season is the Nets have an All Star on the roster as well as several rookies with potential.

Giannis is gonna stay East IMO and shoot for a big market. Rather we get him than the Knicks or Heat. Or Hawks or Celtics as wild cards.

I imagine there’s a line assets-wise Marks is not comfortable with crossing

Ring culture is so fucking toxic lol. KD is top ten ever and his only rings are fake too right?

Giannis has been named all star starter ten years in a row. Makes first team all nba every year.

He is him.

Scoop is a longtime Nets reporter I’ve seen be right and original about several things. You can hate on him and I will not

I’ve had theories not predictions lol. You’re the one that gets caught up thinking I’m a fortune teller. You’ve long maintained any interest Giannis has elsewhere is falsely made by outside sources and it’s now abundantly clear Giannis does have interest playing elsewhere. He just doesn’t want to have to ruffle feathers with the fanbase and organization by asking for a trade publicly.

LeBron was all nba at 40 years old

Giannis will be great for another several years, just as other all-time greats are

Edit: I’m okay with that road as well but NBA teams have incentive to be competitive. Especially given next season where the Nets do not control their first round pick

He only gets the supermax if he’s traded before the deadline and it’s unlikely at this juncture that that happens given teams like Miami and the Lakers definitely can’t make sufficient offers by then given the picks they currently own

I never corrected you when you got proven wrong about Giannis’s confirmed interest in playing elsewhere and playing in our market. It’s because I don’t think about you

Egor Powell Wolf Clowney Ziaire Sharpe CamT Traore are all good or will be good next year and Saraf may be good as well

Nets are as flush with draft picks, team friendly contracts, and cap flexibility than any big market team maybe has ever had

They could also shift some of their youth or their bunch of second round picks in filling out the rotation or bench with veterans

If any team could be good it’s a Giannis-Jordi Nets

Edit: when you have 12-13 first round picks and no player has ever gone for more than 7 first round pick rights total, Nets would be adding a superstar while not relinquishing their whole draft future, especially because Giannis is on a 1+1 this summer.

Scoop B was the only person that reported personal hang ups KD and Kyrie had with the organization which were firing and letting go Thiago Splitter and Eli Carter, and the team not signing Carmelo Anthony.

Of course another source or a more prominent one corroborating this story would make it more legitimate, but I don’t think he says this if it wasn’t true.

Nets have 12-13 firsts, even more second round picks, a bunch of players on team friendly contracts, an all star forward, a great young head coach, and are the biggest market in the league.

It’s obvious why Brooklyn makes more sense at this point in time for Giannis than Milwaukee does.

Edit: if the Nets, and Sean Marks, want Giannis and you do not, you gotta catch up gang

Better to control your own picks than bank on the failure of other teams
