Hoping for the best, which in the Nets case means another year of slow, steady climb back towards respectability after the horror show following the Garnett/Pierce trade, quite possibly the worst in league history. Optimistic for solid years out of DRussell, Allen, RHJ, Caris (could be a breakout year for him). Like some of the new additions: Davis, Graham, Napier. Sticking with the rebuild plan of Marks/Atkinson, I think they’re doing a good job. And next year, we have our own 1st round pick (finally!) plus Denver’s plus a ton of cap space. Barring critical injuries, I think we get to at least 35 wins this year. Wondering what other Brooklyn fans are thinking.
I think Allen and levert become “household names”- Allen has sky is limit potential.
Ideally they see a lot from dlo as it would mean they can have the backcourt set—- dinwiddie is a good trade chip if they can get a stretch —- Carroll also has value to a contender
Regardless- they play a pleasing style and compete- and they all have bought in.
I think 35-38 wins and depends on health.
Cool!
Love this team.
His attention to detail is tremendous. Picking up 2nd round picks like the zeller and Booker deals, signing smart small contracts like dinwiddie, Harris (orignally), davis, etc. Creating the space then executing the Denver deal. Just amazing.
The big move of getting russell was a worthwile gamble but has not paid off yet. Very interesting year coming up for him, epscially having a huge cap hold in an off-season when the nets want to use cap space. He needs to take big steps.
Plus coaching is smart. Nets took the second best shot profile in the league last year. Still have a long way go, but I'm so impressed with this group its an easy team to root for.
I expect a few trades once we get into the new year

Agreed. Faried would probably put up the best stat line on the team if he started, but it sounds like he's going to be more of the backup C. I'm personally hoping Carroll is the guy that ends up getting pushed to the bench for Levert.
I've only seen highlights but Kurocs has been a lot more interesting than expected too. So I agree they seem setup to make a few trades around the deadline.
