Unfortunately, the Nets have no reason to continue being bad until the 2018-2019 season, when they definitely need to be bad. I could see them signing some decent players to Amir Johnson type overpay contracts that are guaranteed for two years. The Nets will be bad but, perhaps, not as bad as we might hope. They may feel the need to placate their fan base. Our hope is that someone might offer draft picks that might entice them to trade Lopez.
