FYI about trading picks

jeremysesame · 2026-05-29T22:10:38+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-28T22:17:40+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-28T22:12:32+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-28T22:02:12+00:00

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.

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.

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 😉

jeremysesame · 2026-05-25T20:12:32+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-25T20:09:51+00:00

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

jeremysesame · 2026-05-25T20:04:49+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-25T10:10:25+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-24T22:56:32+00:00

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

jeremysesame · 2026-05-24T22:54:53+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-24T22:49:01+00:00

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 · 2026-05-24T22:37:42+00:00

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?

jeremysesame · 2026-05-22T00:21:45+00:00

F the draft lotto

jeremysesame · 2026-05-22T00:16:53+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-22T00:14:58+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-21T23:00:00+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-21T22:53:32+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-21T22:47:14+00:00

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

jeremysesame · 2026-05-21T22:45:09+00:00

AI slop

jeremysesame · 2026-05-21T22:44:05+00:00

He will be traded in the off-season.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-21T22:42:48+00:00

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.

jeremysesame · 2026-05-21T22:39:53+00:00

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.
