Yo The Brooklyn Nets are fukking awful :wtf:

Hawks have the option to trade picks with the Nets. So if they get the top pick, which would be your pick, the Hawks will take it.

Is it at least top 5 protected?

Son, if the Nets end up with the top pick, NBA officials will start getting radiation poisoning and the team charter might have an unfortunate accident, the Russian will not be pleased.

When spending a bill goes wrong......

The struggle is real

If anything, hopefully this leads to teams valuing their draft picks/young assets.
I get the Joe Johnson trade, but the D Will one was unnecessary when they could have signed him in Summer 2012(Barclay's opened in Fall '12).

Nope, it's not protected. If the Nets have a higher draft pick than the Hawks, Hawks have the right to swap draft position with them this year AND next year. Also since the Nets traded their pick this year to Boston, Boston would end up getting the pick wherever the Hawks were originally scheduled to draft. Da GAWD Ferry blessed us in that Joe Johnson trade . The Hawks gonna fukk around and have the Nets lottery pick this year and next year

Nope, not protected. It's for the next TWO drafts so they don't even have the option of cutting salary and tanking. They stuck with them old nikkas.

We severely handicapped ourselves building a win now team, and we did it with aging players. We are saddled with untradable players and no picks. Plus we are hobbled by injuries. It's going to be a rough year.

They hired a coach fresh off the court to coach a team with a one-year window. They took a tremendous gamble and are losing tremendously. It's almost like they're tanking but they don't even have their pick
