Lol they’re the worst franchise in NA sports right now. Yep, even worse than the Browns, Bills, Senators, Marlins and Lions

Marlins are bad?

Always had a soft spot for the Nets because of Dražen. happy for their fans.

Same here.

There's no guarantee he will be 100%...but he will still be an elite player.

I just don't see this team being very successful, though. KD will be 32, Kyrie is a locker-room cancer, and DJ isn't a very impressive 3rd option.

Because DJ isn't the third man. Nets aren't a two man show. Or won't be.

i mean they do have some good pieces in dinwiddie, levert, harris, allen, but i still don't see them doing too well. especially if kd isn't pre-injury kd.

think philly makes it out of the east next year.

edit: actually... now that i think about it, if kawhi doesn't return their only real threat would be philly...guess anything could happen

can't f***ing *wait* to be labeled a bandwagoner...

being serious, this might be the most earth-shattering set of transactions in franchise history. it has to be. can't f***ing believe it.

Jay Z represents both KD + Kyrie so that was a huge help for the Nets.

I am excited to eventually see both there.

Philly got worse anyway IMO.

Bucks lost Brogdon, Raps potentially losing Kawhi, Celtics lost Horford (gained Kemba..)... I think a lot of teams got worse

And a guy named Kyrie.. Lol

Also to a lesser extent Terry Rozier has moved on as well.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Knicks officially the 3rd best basketball team in New York, behind the Brooklyn Nets and Harlem Globetrotters.

That is absurd

They are far from 3rd best

New York Liberty and an assortment of NCAA/High School teams can make claim for that 3rd best spot

Hell, I bet the Yankees could give em a challenge as well.

Yes, but Kemba offsets that.

And Rozier is terrible, losing him is addition by subtraction.

I'd put the NY Liberty ahead of the Knicks.

This, plus how they were always seen as the Knicks little brother who wasn't nearly as important. When in fact they have been more way more successful the last 20 years.
