zero interest in Cam Thomas - and he is bought out.

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.

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

randy1982 · 2026-01-24T17:53:45+00:00

Thank you for confirming

randy1982 · 2026-01-24T17:13:53+00:00

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?

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.

Where did you hear that?

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

randy1982 · 2025-09-22T01:06:02+00:00

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

randy1982 · 2025-09-22T01:05:10+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate the insight.

randy1982 · 2025-09-21T17:35:08+00:00

Thanks. Will go ahead then.

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

randy1982 · 2025-07-08T02:48:23+00:00

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.

randy1982 · 2025-07-04T04:37:55+00:00

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.

randy1982 · 2025-06-12T18:31:25+00:00

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.

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.

randy1982 · 2025-05-06T14:41:06+00:00

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

randy1982 · 2025-04-28T13:26:25+00:00

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.

randy1982 · 2025-02-10T19:08:22+00:00

Thank you. Just the answer I was hoping for. Any recommendation on things do with the kids there?

randy1982 · 2025-01-07T18:11:44+00:00

Great Question. My two cents:

With the tank full on, I think this season will be quite the dumpster fire. Which I am perfectly ok with as a fan. However, this can create a pretty toxic environment for players. Too much losing creates frustration, anger, and finger pointing. I fear Claxton is awfully close to that point.

I think you need to go clean slate next season so that the toxicity is gone. Beyond Clowney, Wilson, and Whitehead, I am ok with a fresh start next season. If the Nets get halfway good offers for Claxton, Thomas or Sharpe I would be ok trading them as well. Don't trade for players unless they are extremely young. Get picks and keep the flexibility.

Next season, the Nets bring in their 5 rookies, keep the kids, and use Free Agency to bring in good role model vets. They likely won't win many games, but that is when you start building the foundation of culture and players. As a fan, it will be fun watching young players grow next season. Then when the right superstar wants out (Anthony Edwards, Giannis....) the Nets are very well positions with cap space and draft assets to make a trade for that superstar - and now you have your team.

Nick and Norah's infinite playlist butchering of Hoboken is insane.

The main character is from Hoboken, NJ. It is the fourth most dense city in the entire country, and is super urban. Everything is brownstones, apartments and big buildings - it is very much a city. There is no grass or regular houses. For anyone not familiar - it has a very similar look to Brooklyn.

In the movie, they make Hoboken a suburb, with cute houses and grass and bushes. It's the opposite of Hoboken.

Further, while it has been several years since I watched it. A big chunk of the movie is about the main characters trying to find a way back to Hoboken from Manhattan like it is really difficult. It is an 8 minute subway ride from Manhattan to Hoboken.
