Nets still have a shot at a ship. But they've only got this season. Their biggest competition is staying healthy. I'm not too caught up on the coaching situation, as there's enough old heads on that team to somewhat even it out. If they fail this season it won't be because of coaching.

Knicks just like the Nets can attract free agents.

I believe KD will be a free agent by the time most of our contracts are up so

Said this in another thread yesterday but it's more appropriate for this thread:

As a long time NYer, I don't understand how anyone can ever, ever, feel confident about the Nets regarding making a title run. The Nets are one of those "one achievement at a time" franchises, who it seems never grow from one step to the next, save for a brief moment in their NBA history . Even that run spanning from 2001-2003 resulted in zero banners of REAL significance, and the curtain came down on that act almost as fast as it rose. They are one of those franchises that will win a playoff series, have everyone buzzing about them during the offseason where they are pegged as an "up & coming franchise," only to produce the exact same results for the next several years, or take a step back and disappear into oblivion for several years until they make it back to playoffs, win a series or lose one valiantly, only to repeat their cycle of mediocrity, which then becomes a perpetual cycle.

And no, Net fans, I'm not dissing your franchise, but as a student of history and precedent, it's alarming to see this cycle ebb and flow continually with these teams across all sports, which unfortunately your squad is a part, and in fact all 3 of the "NY -ets" are part of this paradigm. I'm a Jet & Rangers fan so believe me when I tell you I can empathize.

For another example, remember when the 1998 Arizona Cardinals beat the Cowboys in the playoffs and were a media darling pick for like the next 4 years? They wouldn't see expanded success for another 10 years with a SB berth, only to quickly fall back to their own norm. Some teams' luck just operate that way

we got no draft picks either





Jim was all in for Steve Nash

I hate that fakkit.

nets and the knicks draft situation is as hell.

prokhorov is a fraud. a russian jerry jones.

looks to make big splashes instead to get his name in the papers instead of the right move.

20 different coaching options available., but instead settles for kidd, who retired a week earlier.

yall nikkas really value draft picks , we in it to win it brehs like what are some late round 1st round picks gonna do for us . We sucked in Jersey for years ,got lottery picks that failed, and guess what all our success years came when we made trades (Kidd, Carter). Not everybody has OKC's luck tankin in the late 2000s getting top 3 picks back to back and shyt. Plus like some have said already we in NYC wit a owner who wants to spend, free agents gon come .

 

[TR7]

Our future is fine if Prokhorov stays committed for the next 5 years. Summer 2016 we have 1 player under contract (D-Will), Summer 2015 we have Lopez ($17M expiring), Johnson ($25 Mil Expiring, very tradeable), and D-Will. If Prok is still here he's gonna keep spending money, so losing draft picks won't kill us.

We are fukked if he stops spending or sells off to a OKC type owner who just wants to make a profit.
