Ok, I must admit I am a Nets fan and attended alot of the games when they were still in NJ but only a few since they moved to Brooklyn.
What is disturbing is this team is really bad even for Nets standards. I went to the last two games at home and the crowd was very sparse with really no fan following to see.
any Ideas how this team can improve? I look at this roster and the only legitimate starter is Brook Lopez.
Just wanted to know if there was anyone out thre feeling the pain

so if the Nets have the first pick in the draft the Celtics can swap it with them? or am I off on this.
correct haha
AND in 2018 they get their pick outright?
it's gonna be a long rebuild.

Neither one was a guaranteed match. If Dwayne Wade stays, Tyler Johnson is a Net. The Trailblazers had just signed Evan Turner to a big contract in addition to Lillard, CJ McCollum, Aminu, Harkless already there.
Didn't the whole D-Wade debacle happen well after Johnson offered the Nets offer sheet? I remember that occurring way after most of FA was over. I thought the Johnson contract was one of the reasons Riley wouldn't give Wade what he wanted (that and the Whiteside contract obviously).
The Nets should've given Johnson the money they offered Crabbe. Johnson looks like a real player. Crabbe is ok, but he's probably worth half what the Blazers are paying him.
THe only thing worth watching will be the NBA finals, Cavs vs Warriors again.

Derrick Favors is a pretty so-so player, who's often injured.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened had the Nets won that 1st pick in 2010 and selected John Wall. Crazy how that little ball can decide so much.
Still upset about that
I know how that feels as a Celtics fan, they were "supposed" to get Tim Duncan.
36% chance.
C's fan here, too... and I don't think Pierce was done, yet. With a good supporting cast I still think he was very productive.
KG broke down well before that trade.
I'm more surprised at the return they got. It has seriously set the Cs up for a long run.
Not really sure where you derive your ego from in discussing basketball- but I am happy for you to have your opinions- and I am pretty qualified to talk hoops - just for your guide - again please keep on with the trade proposals they are solid -
Hitdog getting on someone for their "ego"? Classic. I've never seen anyone pat themselves on the back as much in my life. It's nauseating. Pot, meet kettle?
Umm..no?
You're either overvaluing the Knicks roster or the Nets coaching.
The NBA is talent first, talent second and talent third. Then comes coaching and the other stuff (unless Pop is your coach).
The players that will take the Knicks to contender level are currently not on the roster, maybe not even in the league yet.
There are really only 3 contenders in the NBA, and that's optimistic. Could really only be 1.

They saw a lot of him- he did not show as a shooter and was undersized - looks like a miss now but for someone who watches the games there was nothing obvious.

Fair enough. I probably should've used "good" instead of "contender," Thanks for the "real" reply this time!
If they can snag a later 1st this year to go with their own pick, then I think they could have the foundation of a solid team. This is going to be a terrific and very deep draft. If they can come out of it with, say, Dennis Smith and Dwayne Bacon, that's a nice injection of talent to go with KP and Willy as a young nucleus.

Boy would I sign up for that right now...
