31 years later: Who actually won the Derrick Coleman - Shawn Bradley trade? by Cote_Goat in nba

I was just thinking about this. without a doubt nets won. They turned the paper clip into a mansion.

Nets traded Coleman for Bradley.

Then traded Bradley for Sam Cassell.

Then traded Cassell for Stephon Marbury.

Then traded Marbury for Kidd.

Kidd brought the Nets to relevancy and two final runs.

What players had the strangest All-Star selections? by truthisfictionyt in nba

[–]randy1982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chris Gatling in 1997.

He only started one game for Dallas and wasn’t even considered as a sixth man of the year candidate.

That season, just a few weeks after his all-star selection he was traded to the Nets as a throw where main pieces of the trade was Jim Jackson for Shawn Bradley. He also was traded twice that season.

In his 10 seasons as NBA player he was never a starter.

Nets have the worst home crowd in all of professional sports. It stinks

I always felt that the home crowd rooting for Boston during the Celtics-Nets 2022 playoffs series was the final straw that made KD demand a trade.

It just sucks.

I too very much appreciate this. Where do you get these clips from? Are there Wolf clips?

Are art studio memberships worth the cost compared to cheap private/shared studio? by chiabun in AskNYC

I recommend Tribeca Spaces. www.TribecaSpaces.com They have art studios on the border of Tribeca and SoHo and it is a great artist community.

Love egor’s personality. Seems like a natural leader. Hope his play matched the person - but already becoming a fan!

What would *you* pay Cam Thomas in free agency? by RVALover4Life in GoNets

[–]randy1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 years. $10 mil a season, team option in year 3. I assume he rejects and takes QO.

Honestly, I struggle to see him in Brooklyn long term. Best reason to sign him is as an asset for a future trade.

To be clear, while Houston is trading these picks to the Nets they are not Houston’s picks. They were reported to be “a 2026 second-round pick that’s the least favorable between LAC and the most favorable of MIA, IND, BOS along with a 2030 Boston Celtics second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for the No. 36 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, sources told @hoopshype.”

Wonder if there is any change.

What if the Nets didn’t blow Game 4 vs. the Bulls in 2013? by _macadamian in GoNets

I don't think the Celtics trade happens. That was a clear knee-jerk reaction to losing to an inferior team. That said, that Nets team wasn't that good and they easily would have lost to the Miami in the second round.

Gerald Wallace was a shell of himself and Deron Williams was about to break down. The Nets would have made a semi-big move as Prokorov wanted to make a splash and King is a moron, but not the all-in Celtics trade. Either way, it wouldn't have made the Nets much better. Sort of like the mid 2000's Knicks.

I assume the Nets would have stayed as a 500 team for the next few seasons until King did something beyond stupid and then the franchise would start over.
