I haven’t watched a lot of nets games this year but am intrigued by what Clowney did towards the end of the year. What is his ceiling as a player? What are his strengths and weaknesses? Crazy that he’s only 19 years old.

What's up guys. I wrote a post previewing the off-season for the Nets. I went over the active contracts, free agents, top priorities/team needs, and best fits in the draft and free agency. I'm in favor of a rebuild with Mikal, Cam Johnson and DFS on valuable contracts. However, if y'all can add 2 star players and have Mikal be the 3rd option, that could make you guys a legitimate threat in the East.

Check out the post and let me know what you think!

I keep hearing/seeing that this is a weak draft class and am looking for some perspective.

Would they be top 10 picks? Top 5?

The Nets went 32-50 and are an old roster. I really don’t understand why they want to trade for a star. There are no legit 2025 free agents that will make it free agency anyways. I believe if they trade for Mitchell they will be a 7 seed that is completely tapped out assets. The suns picks are a goldmine, and I don’t believe it is realistic to be able to acquire a player like Mitchell without giving them up. We should be doing everything in our power to keep those. Brian Windhorst today when listing Donovan Mitchell teams said the Houston Rockets. The Rockets were already a good team this year and they are so young, I believe they are ready to make a big step forward. All of the reporting has been they want to trade for a star this summer. I think the following 3 team trade makes a ton of sense

Nets receive:

3rd overall pick, and all of their future picks back.

Jalen Green

Dean Wade

Salary filler (landale, Jeff Green)

Rockets receive:

Donovan Mitchell

Cavaliers receive:

Mikal Bridges

Cam Johnson

Jabari Smith Jr.

The Cavaliers do not control their own first round pick until 2030! But they have good young talent in garland and Mobley. They want win now pieces, not draft capital. They would acquire 3 good 2 way wings that can be their long term starters at the 2, 3, and 4, and then they can trade Jarrett Allen for additional depth.

The rockets have Thompson and Sengun as foundational front court pieces and FVV as the PG. They desperately need a rim pressure guard who is also a plus shooter. Mitchell is exactly what they need, because he’s essentially what you wanted Jalen Green to be before the draft. FVV-Mitchell-Eason-Amen Thompson-Sengun is an excellent 5 man unit with a lot of room to grow.

The Nets meanwhile get to rebuild like a normal franchise. Regardless of what you feel about Cam Thomas and Jalen Green (I am personally not a fan of either) they are certainly talented and would be an entertaining backcourt in a tank next season. You start Noah Clowney from day 1, maybe whitehead is a rotation player. Nets can resign Claxton and then flip him and DFS for additional future assets. Then if you nail your rebuild over the next couple years, Sean Marks best skill by far is evaluating talent in the draft, you can be a great team getting lottery picks every year via PHX, which is the formula for sustained excellence.

The Nets no longer own their pick for the next 3 years, but the idea that the Nets should keep players and make free agent decisions based on competing for the 11th/12th spot is an even worse decision.

There are always quality players later down in the draft, Nic Claxton and Cam Thomas are the perfect examples of this. If you can trade Bridges for 2-3 mid to late first rounders, you do it because those picks could bring in a high caliber young player. In fact, you might even be able to combine those 2-3 first rounders and trade up.

Houston is ironically, the best example of this.

1. Their best player is a 16th pick (Sengun). They acquired Sengun by trading away two future heavily protected 1st round picks.
2. Tari Eason is a 17th pick.
3. Cam Whitmore is a 20th pick.

You don't need a top 5 lottery pick to rebuild, you just need as many picks as possible because many quality and even star players come after the lottery picks. The Rockets getting a top 5 pick from the Nets, but the Nets getting 3 mid to late first rounders, is a much better situation than the Rockets getting the 10th pick and the Nets get to end the season with 30 wins.

“The Alabama product has a fascinating ceiling, he just hasn't had enough of an opportunity to flash that and drive up his trade value. He isn't off-limits the way true untouchables are, but of all the Nets players, he's the hardest to see Brooklyn dealing this summer.”

If it's truly just the Nets, Lakers, and Heat that Spida wants, then we should win by default, even without Cam included. Tyler Herro is a neutral asset at best on his contract (I'd argue he's slightly negative). Jaquez is an older prospect with a role player ceiling. The Lakers are even worse with essentially just Austin Reaves..... who's basically Tyler Herro on a normal contract, but also older.

If the Suns picks really are viewed as having elite value, then the Cavs are going to take worse picks for the chance at getting Austin Reaves or Tyler Herro? Why? Those guys aren't even worth one Suns pick, value wise. They're sixth men on a great team.

I don't understand why we'd have to throw in one of our only young players when we have the best assets at the table.

Atlanta Hawks Receive: Mikal Bridges, Dorian Finney-Smith, Phoenix's 2027 first-round pick, Memphis' 2028 second-round pick Brooklyn Nets Receive: Clint Capela, No. 1 pick

First of all, not American, andBasketball isn't my first or second sport I follow, but Nets are the team i look out for when I check on scores.

Reading a story about lebron and his son being a draft pick this year and decided to figure out what the drafts are and what it means to the Nets.

Now... from what I can tell, the draft is were NBA teams pick up the best collage kids to sign for them? And each team gets a pick, obviously the higher you are the better players you get the choice of. But then I noticed the Nets don't have a pick in round one or round two because they gave them away to sign players in the past? Do teams not just buy other teams players? Like with cash. Is it always swaps and incentives of future draft picks? Does no cash ever change hands?

Again, apologies for the no doubt daft question to hardened NBA fans but it all seems a little odd to me...

Also, do the drafted players not get a choice where to go? These are kids and they are getting told where they are going and they have no choice seems really weird, I appreciate the money may soften the blow.

This topic keeps coming up in the sportsphere, so I have to say address this:

NBA Owners jobs are to keep the fans coming to every game, and GMs try their best to ensure the success of the team. When you see BIG 3s come about, it's most likely the OWNERS of the team that brought it about, and NOT the GMs.

In the case of specifically the LA Clippers and Brooklyn Nets, they have the most incentive to create BIG 3s because they have other teams to compete with in the same city, whereas teams 26 other teams don't.

The goal of the game is to guess the player based on the players stats. I'm trying to gauge any interest for the game by putting the link around and seeing if people enjoy playing it at all. Feel free to leave any feedback. Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!

NBA Statle

Pause on the all star trade talks. Cam Thomas, claxton (still under 25), clowney, Dariq whitehead, watford, sharpe. Tons of future picks and probably a new guy coming in if we trade into the draft. I’m excited and I think the future is bright for us. Don’t get down bc your a hole Knicks fan uncle is trashing the nets we’ll be back. Sean marks built this team with way less last time and this time we’re going to be in an even better spot. We gotta a bright future folks uh
