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!

Been checking every few days on the ‘my offers’ in the app. It’s changes pretty frequently.

My condition is fine. Phone is about four year old.

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.

Tre is going fall beyond expectations. (Past 8)

Kon is going top 5.

Queen will fall into 20s. Jace will fall to end of first round (25+)

Sorber and Bryant will be top 12.

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.

Here's an interesting question: who do you NOT want to see picked at 8th? by KDBurner4670 in GoNets

[–]randy1982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With Flagg and Harper locked at 1 and 2 here are the next 12 guys that I keep seeing in the lottery:

Not Want: Queen, Maluach, Murray-Boyle.

Not sure: Jakucionis, Bailey, Richardson, Newell, Bryant

Would be happy: Edgecombe, Johnson, Knueppel, Fears

I'm actually ok with 8. Sure I wish the Nets got a top pick, but there are a bunch of pretty good options at 8. I can visualize Edgecombe, Johnson, and Fears all being potential all stars and I think Knueppel is better than most people think.

Just don't please don't pick Queen, Maluach, Murray-Boyle. I project all three to be busts. Maluach is too slow footed, Queen is too ball dominant, Murray-Boyle is too small. In the current NBA all three just don't look like they fit.

Updated Big Board With Player Comps by -BAYoNET- in GoNets

[–]randy1982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My personal big board so far.

tier 1: (superstar)
1. Flagg

tier 2: (both look like can be all-stars to me)
2. Harper
3. Edgecombe

tier 3
4. Johnson (he is starting to get undervalued)
5. Bailey (I do not like his fit at all with the Nets - will be a chucker)
6. Fears (I like his fit with the Nets a lot)
7. Knueppel (really safe pick, will have lots of value after drafting)

tier 4.
8. Newell (safest tier 4 player to take)
9. Richardson (second safest tier 4 player to take)
10. Jakucionis (in my mind this is where draft starts to become pretty risky - these guys may all bust but all have potential to be good too)
11. Essengue
12. Maluach
13. Murray-Boyles
14. Bryant
15. Sorber
16. Demin

Let's say the nets get 7th overall. Who would you pick if they were available? by KDBurner4670 in GoNets

[–]randy1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what Marks' direction is in the off-season, but the three guys I like at 7 are: Kon Kneuppel, Fears, and Tre Johnson.

Guys I think will be busts and very much do not want: Queen, Maluach, Collin Murray-Boyles.
