Nets fire Lionel Hollins; Billy King steps down as GM

[Malta]

I'm a fukk around and apply to work for the Nets

How could they not see that this team would be ass, damn near everyone on TheColi been saying the Celtics would end up with a lottery pick since last year.



The worst part is there's no way to turn this around, their best trade asset is Lopez and who would give up a pick for him? Maybe try and get the Pelicans to bite since they have a history of idiotic moves now.

 

[Majestyx]

It begins and ends with ownership.

You're 4.5 games out of the 8th seed, your management has proven that they will do stupid shyt to make the playoffs and giving up 2 picks for Lopez seems like something they'd do to insure they make the playoffs this year.

Shame we're not team owners, our squads would never trade first rounders, word to brother @houston911

New owners tend to do really really stupid things the first couple of years. Especially the hands on ones. It all depends on if they learn from their mistakes.

The Nets are forced to re-build via free agency under a rapidly rising salary cap where every team has money to blow and a limited pool of talent.

Damn feel bad for Lionel Hollins . But that Nikka Billy King had to go. Gave the Celtics

2016 first round pick
2017 ability to swap first round picks
2018 first round pick

For KG and Pierce

Give us Jarret Jack and Brook Lopez (let him leave after the season)

Give 'em Reke and EG...no draft picks

Sit Anthony on some Carmelo last January ish

and...

They're dead in the water for a decade, there isn't a team in a worst position than them. People make fun of the Sixers, but the light is at the end of the tunnel for them, the Nets literally have nothing to look forward to.

Tank?

Yall still trying to make the playoffs

It needs to be put in context how bad those moves were
Players picked with their picks

Damian Lillard
Dererk Favors
Enes Kanter
Draymond Green
Giorgui Dieng
James Young




And your C's are getting high lottery picks from them, those moves have set them back a decade or more. There's no recovery from trading that many first round picks.

Unfortunately the only way that coulda been built is if they never moved to Brooklyn. Long term they woulda been fine but nobody can stomach a new move to an empty arena, let alone NY. Even NYCFC needed David Villa and Lampard

No protection at all, the Celtics either get to swap picks or they get the pick outright.


The Nets have the 3rd worst record in the league now and Jarret Jack is out for the season, basically they're going to get Ingram, Dunn, Simmons or Bender.

Where all those Knicks fans you became Nets fans ??

I doubt the arena would have been empty, you can sell fans on young exciting talent.
