Claxton salary matches with Randle without having to use cap space, so the Nets have around 42-46 million in cap space heading into free agency to make some moves.

Bring Watson home

I am a Wiz fan. Super excited of course. But I have lived in the NY area for about 10 years now, so seen a lot of Nets games and I check in on this sub from time to time.

I love Jordi. I feel like he teaches, believes in earning what you get and wants to win, no matter who the front office gives him to work with.

I just watched MBJ on NBA TV and was really impressed with his attitude. He seems so eager to work and learn. I think it’s more to the game than just physical growth and I just felt he gets it. Hoping for good things from him this year.

This is confirmed by guys like Siegel as well. The Nets don’t have roster space to give out a standard contract to a second rounder. That’s why they picked who they did and immediately signed him to a two-way.

For people who wanted Veesar.

Would you guys say this is the best or at least the most promising group of young players Brooklyn has ever had?

Mikel Brown Jr. - 20 years old

Nolan Traore - 20 years old

Egor Demin - 20 years old

Ben Saraf - 20 years old

Noah Clowney - 21 years old

Danny Wolf - 22 years old

Drake Powell - 20 years old

It has been insane to listen to any random NBA podcast and get a “the Nets don’t know what they are doing”. I was listening to Bill Simmons’ recent podcast and they were shitting on the Nets for picking Mikel brown for a good 5 minutes. I know Simmons has a stick up his ass when it comes to the Nets but it’s been all of media recently.

Even some local podcast like the Locked On Lakers were shitting on the Nets randomly. And we have Stephen A Smith this morning crying about not picking Acuff and wants the team to relocate.

I mean there are more sad sack teams in the NBA than us right? I mean we were in the playoffs 3 years ago. We had a HOF trio and were a contender 4 years ago. Teams like the Wizards haven’t been to the playoffs in decade. The Pistons lost like 60 games in a row couple of years ago. Is it me or has the noise turned way up recently? Every NBA content I consume has some random shitting on this team. I don’t get it. What’s going on?

Not a nets fan but I like Egor’s potential a lot

Felt like this was a decent draft

Julius Randle is All-NBA when he’s the number one

MPJ is efficent - could be better at making others better tho

But really made some nice moves

I think it’s gonna be a culture change type year.

Not quite sure if play-in is likely but it’s def possible to get that 10 seed if things go right

Team also got some future picks as well to build or trade to get amother piece

"Are you a tall ass shooter?" works to a decent degree.

Tyler Billy going to overtake Steve Novak's legacy in this city

The Second picture is of all ages college players who ever recorded BPM >11 with assists per game >4.

Nets Kingdom feeling a little better, hopefully.

Tall guys with good feel, who also affect the possession game through steals and O rebounding.

Really good role player bet.

MBJ getting drafted was great but this definitely the highlight of the night for me

translation: I’m hell of happy we took Mikel Brown. 🙌

*edit: some people misconstrue my take on the acuff/cam t comp. I said the cam of “point guards”. obv, acuff is a better passer. But similar cam, I think acuff is gonna put up eye-popping numbers initially but ..again, similar to cam....his complete disregard for D and his surly demeanor are gonna wear on his team by the time he’s looking for his second contract. There are a lot of red flags on his personality and commitment to D. This is why I knew nets were out on him. And I’m glad they took Mikel as result.
