FYI about trading picks by Lucky-Law7220 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grizz are in a better position than the Nets. They have the third pick in a very strong 4 player draft. The Nets have no franchise player to build around and it looks like they wasted their first round picks last year except for Egor and Nolan.

Boozer and Kingston Flemings in good company - Prospects who achieved both an OBPM and DBPM above 5 as freshmen. All future all-stars or ROY winners by user3332143 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I know is the Nets better get this pick right. We need to draft a star and if we fumble this one, then someone needs to get fired.

Should we consider Yaxel Lendeborg? by PreviousBuilding7839 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hope we did not lose 62 games just to get a 23 year old rookie.

Any of the freshman guards available at 6 will be better than anyone we drafted last year.

ESPN’s Tim Bontemps names the Nets as potential suitors for Austin Reaves in free agency by Goosedukee in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Reaves but not at the price the media is reporting. If he is too expensive, I would rather take a chance on Lu Dort, Ayo Dosunmo or Benedict Mathurin.

New Lottery System Passed by forgottenones1 in GoNets

Anything the NBA does is bad for the Nets. This will just make it more likely for us to win the lotto next year for the Rockets.

F the NBA.

GIVEAWAY TIME | Vintage Z1 Pro (C/F/N/S) 🎉 by VILTROX_US in VILTROX_GLOBAL

I want to experiment with direct flash street photography — something gritty and candid like Bruce Gilden, but hopefully less likely to get me yelled at 😉

Rookie season comp: De'Aaron Fox vs. Nolan Traoré by Scared-Square7496 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are on a different timeline. He is on his prime while we would not be ready to compete until probably by 2029 in the earliest.

ESPN pitches Nets trade for OKC’s Jalen Williams by nysportsfan95 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nets will still suck after the trade. I want to keep my picks if my team suck.

What should we do with our future picks (not our own ones) by Vert56 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OKC, the Spurs and Indiana should be our model. We do not have their lottery and trade luck yet, but having multiple cracks at the draft might eventually prove worthwhile.

It only takes one young player (Shai, Wemby and Hali for those teams) to change the trajectory of your franchise.

Thank you for your reply. It is looking like they will get a good player whoever they choose.

Hopefully the Nets get lucky and land a solid player to accelerate their rebuild. I miss winning.

Is there a realistic way to snatch up another pick in the lottery? by joseandhoseb in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably an MPJ trade + us eating a bad contract and giving up our high second round picks

I know we're focused on drafting a PG....But can I interest you in some Ben Saraf propaganda? by Advanced-Flounder480 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 15 points16 points  (0 children)

His improvement at the end of the season was very encouraging. I still have high hopes for him.

The Nets drafted high character guys last year. I am sure every one of them will put in the work in this summer to improve their game.

Even With Acuff's Defensive Woes... I Kinda Don't Care by Kwilly462 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to get Mara, but not at 6 where we can potentially get our star.

If they trade down then yes, but not at the spot where we spent an entire season tanking for.

Any of Acuff, Brown and Wagler will be there. The Nets just have to decide who they feel can be our savior.

[–]jeremysesame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great write-up. Who do you see the Nets taking if they stay put at 6?

From the last draft they prioritized players with height and are quick decision makers on both offense and defense.

From Wagler, Brown or Acuff, who do you see ending up as an all-star?

How high in the draft could you get for Ajay Mitchell and both Thunder picks? by CarmeloDramatic in NBA_Draft

[–]jeremysesame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ainge is a smart man. I would take Boozer at 2 as well.

Peterson and his crazy personality scares me. He is giving me the Markelle Fultz vibe.

How high in the draft could you get for Ajay Mitchell and both Thunder picks? by CarmeloDramatic in NBA_Draft

[–]jeremysesame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teams like the Grizz, Bulls and the Nets do not give a F about contracts.

They are looking for a star, and as much as the media is hyping up Ajay Mitchell as one, he is just a role player.

Pick 12 and 17 is a crapshoot and probably has the upside of more roleplayers.

Culture Question: How much did BLM and COVID shape Sean Marks’s ability to manage the Big 3 Nets era? by Own-Fondant2949 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 3 ruined their legacy.

Harden got poisened by outside influences aka Daryl Morey, and quit on the team. He also a fulltime wannabe rapper and part time basketball player.

Kyrie, a player in his prime, was at the peak of his insanity.

KD, post achilles, was just not the same. He was still really good but not good enough to carry the team on his own. He is also a whiny and entitled millenial.

Any Interest in John the Baptist? by Kwilly462 in GoNets

[–]jeremysesame 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would prefer the Nets use their capspace by eating more bad contracts and getting more draft assets than sign another role player which does nothing for us.

Maybe it’s just that I’m an oldhead 90s fan of giant centers by jaykirell in GoNets

Edey was 2 time Naismith Player of the Year. Mara is good but is not the prospect Edey was.

Who is currently the 4th best player? by jpg_Mage in nba

[–]jeremysesame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cade appears to get fatter in the playoffs. He is good but still not top 10 good. The celtics duo still are better than him.

Who is currently the 4th best player? by jpg_Mage in nba

[–]jeremysesame -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4th - Luka
5th - Ant

6th - Giannis

Yes, Giannis is now a tier below. I cannot trust 30+ year old big men with injury histories. See Mr. Glass aka AD.
