whats the exact vibe down there with the new hc?

whats formula there trying to get?

nikka I don't know, I don't live in Chicago.

I just like the bulls.

but this should be good for the team.

Rose seems to love the offense. plus players like Moore, Snell, and McDermott are going to get more burn compared to last year.

I'll never figure out why Thibs didn't start giving minutes to Moore after the performance he put against Westbrook and hitting the GW shot

but yet he'll give Kirk 20 minutes and watch him get 0, 0 and 0 with 0-3 shooting. smh

I'd rather take a sure thing at worse than another defensive guy that literally addresses none of the team's concerns. Mid-lotto picks are generally trash.

And what are the odds the Nets stay trash with a cashed out owner until 2018? Zero. This is a team that rolled out the goons and paid overtime

They just did it last year :mjlol:

And I mean value as in, if you put together all of the best of the Cs existing roster, you wouldn't have enough to land him in trade. Celtics got two Kemba Walkers, the shytty Zeller, and the second coming of Sean May as their best pieces going foward.

Celtics could never land FAs and yal draft worse than Charlotte ever did over the same timeline. I trust the Russian's wallet to be at least good enough to be NOT hyped over a pick in 2018
just to make sure that Atlanta wouldn't get a shot at a .6% chance lottery pick. No team is just gonna sit there and knowingly be bad enough to put in position to give away a high chance at a #1 overall. It never happens.

Frank can ball. Whatever. If he was black yal wouldn't have shyt to say and you know it :wow:

No one believes Frank Kaminsky is worth 6 picks. And as bad as Jordan is at drafting its best he have multiple shots to get it right :heh: Thats the problem with Jordan. Dude just refuses to realizes this roster is not good enough to win shyt but not bad enough to get lottery. The worst position a franchise can be.

The East was ravished by injuries and they made the playoffs on a tiebreaker as a 38 win 8th seed. If you're banking on that happening every year for the next 3 seasons then I guess.

The Nets at the end of day are still a poorly ran team. The last time they had cap space they whiffed on all marquee guys and ended up overpaying Travis Outlaw & Johan Petro. Is it possible they could hit a home run or two in free agency? Sure. But I'm not gonna bet on it.

As far as us drafting worse than Charlotte, I didn't look it up but I'm pretty sure we've had 3 lottery picks (And only kept 1 of them) since they were brought back y'all have had a good 10-11, so if we did draft better than y'all despite generally only getting mid to late 1st round picks then I think that would say more about y'all than us.
Yi or Jo Forte <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Adam Morrison and Sean May :mjpls:

They won 45 with Anthony Davis missing 14 games, Holiday missing half the season, and Gordon & Anderson both missing 20+

well if you are going to say, if they were healthy, then lets say what if all teams were healthy ? they were not the only ones with injuries.

You make it sound like this is 6 lottery picks. It was 15/16, the Cavs pick which may as well be 28-30, a nets pick in 2018 that may not even be better than what we got now, and second round picks.

You may as well say we could've traded our loaded Tahoe for SIX WHOLE USED HONDA CIVICS:gladbron::gladbron::gladbron::banderas: but we're dumb because the Tahoe ain't a Bentley. Should've taken the Civics.

Celtics drafted Yi? :patrice:

Forte was the 21st pick, Morrison & May were both lottery picks :sas2:

And Forte is still going strong in the Euroleague while Morrison is the equipment manager for Gonzaga :wow:

Naw breh. You making it seem like you had a lottery pick. Assests>>>> Hell I know first hand when we traded with Denver and they got Jurkic and Harris. Kaminsky is nice but dude is not a star. He is not a franchise player. Hes not worth 4 1st round pick(included the BK pick, which will probably be a lottery pick considering how garbage they will be for years) IDK enjoy permanent mediocrity

somebody gonna gun cuz too many egos on that team for nobody to avg 20ppg

Considering how they were slaved by Thibs, I doubt it. In fact they will probably welcome it. This is the way the NBA is moving. Less minutes and deeper rotations. Look at SA, ATL, GS. I think the problem will be who starts. I'm pretty sure a guy like Noah feels slighted, considering he was the leader of the team at one point and know hes coming off the bench in his contract year
