On this flat earth.."Mentally been many places, but im Brooklyns own" 19-20 Brooklyn Nets thread

[Crack Daniels]

I’m good on Musa.. he’s a bum. 50/50 on Kurucs because he shows flashes but he’s either productive or unplayable, never in between.

I’d like to see Crawford come back. TJ probably priced his way outta brooklyn with his play but I’d fine with Chiozza.

Still pulling for Vaughn to get the job

Agreed.

Kurucs does things sometimes like steals cuts to the basket 3 point shots that you think thats exactly what we need on this team. He has trouble putting it all together consistently but the skill set is there. Musa on the other hand I can't name one thing he does even remotely well. He's young but young and nothing to show for it isnt exactly worthy of a roster spot

 

[AJtheOne]

Kurucs is a hothead too always randomly getting into it and fouling at the wrong times

If Pop comes it will be easier to sign some ring chasers.

Brooklyn Nets owners pledge $50 million to create 'economic mobility' in the Black community

Led by owners Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai, the Brooklyn Nets are pledging $50 million over 10 years to support and establish programs they hope will lead to economic mobility in the Black community.

The married couple will lead a “five-point plan,” which will include continued support for its players pushing for social and economic equality and address wage gaps in communities of color, starting in Brooklyn. The plan will also address diversity within the Nets organization and the National Basketball Association league office.

“After George Floyd’s death, we felt like we needed to take a firm stand on racial injustice,” Wu Tsai said in an interview with CNBC Monday. “I wanted to state our beliefs on this issue — that racism is pervasive and needs to be addressed, and I wanted to lay out core principles that clarified our purpose as an organization.”

Great stuff

I think they would’ve been able to do that anyway with a healthy KD and Kyrie. Pop would just be icing on the cake lol.

Looks like Vaughn made a good impression in his interview..Seems he'll be back with the team some capacity

Spoiler

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Brooklyn Nets have formally interviewed incumbent coach Jacque Vaughn for their head coaching position and Vaughn has impressed ownership, sources told The Athletic.

Vaughn, who led the Nets to a 5-3 record in the Orlando NBA restart and the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, remains a significant candidate in the Nets’ search process and has left a great impression on ownership. Brooklyn identified several targets for the search, and The Athletic reported last week that they had interest in pursuing San Antonio Spurs icon Gregg Popovich. The Nets are believed to be continuing to work through their process even after their interview with Vaughn.

Vaughn, 45, established himself within the Nets locker room upon taking the head coaching job when the franchise parted ways with Kenny Atkinson in March. Several veteran players who took part in the Orlando restart have raved about the job Vaughn has done so far.

The Nets appear to want Vaughn back with the franchise in some capacity, whether or not he gets the head coaching job — and the momentum around his candidacy has been consistent.

Around the NBA, opposing coaches have also expressed being impressed with Vaughn’s job in helping lead the Nets despite the absences of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Spencer Dinwiddie, DeAndre Jordan, Taurean Prince and Wilson Chandler.

I kinda wish Vaughn got the job but im glad hes staying on as lead assistant.

Like I said in the front page thread this shyt been planned.

Levert Nash and KD were working together one off season.

Steve Nash boys I think I like!

ya I was taken aback at first

but after learning he has a great rapport with KD/kyrie it’s hard for me to complain and not give it a fair chance

 

[TR7]

Sean Marks really had this master plan for years, and pulled it all off And not a single leak that Nash was his guy

He's got KD's respect, which is huge and clearly Kenny didn't. And the offense he runs should be fun, D'Antoni mixed with Kerr. Defensively is another story, I'm gonna guess he leans on his assistants there.

I dont like seeing Black coaches in the trenches being leapfrogged for someone with no coaching experience. Vaughn deserved better

Yea I’d prefer Nash as an assistant. Would have made better sense. I’m confused about this. I hope KD didn’t make this move on the strength of “well I liked him when I was in golden state”

Happens in every profession..its happened to me

I dont like it either. @K-Apps just posted they made the decision back in May...that says to me that they didnt expect Vaughn to be that good ..didnt really give him a chance and had to overpay to keep him on
