The Official 2016-2017 Brooklyn Nets Season Watch Thread (20-62, #1)

[Ilikesports17]

You guys think Brooklyn will offer Waiters? Anyone willing to put on offer sheet on him for that matter? lol

OKC have Oladipo and the other guy at sg now....so offering or matching for Waiters for big money does not make sense....

I think they did well as far as drafting Caris Lavert....they did draft him 20th but he is a legit player and his play speaks for itself.....just needs to get healthy.

Okafor was there on the table for the 3rd pick.....wish we traded down with the Wolves for Lavine and the #5 for Dunn and then traded the #5 for Okafor. At least Lavine and Okafor we know can play and have upside still/youth.

DRafting Jaylen with the #3 when there are: Stanley Johnson, Winslow, and even Jabari and others makes me scratch my head a bit.

I think people are angry at the value added based on the value of the picks.....they just did not equal eachother and DA could have done a much better job. Jaylen and Yab are good players and no ones angry at those players or that we selected them, IMO people see that we could have traded down and selected those players while also getting more assets and VALUE

what are you getting at with this bit?

So instead of drafting Dunn at 5 the Wolves were going to trade the #5 and Lavine for the #3 pick to...draft Dunn?

Nets pull of a huge coup, getting Luis Scola on a 1-year deal.

DO NOT TRADE THAT '17 pick under any circumstances. No Blake, No Boogie, No Kareem, Noone.

Makes perfect sense if Danny is a mind-reader.  Maybe you're giving him too much credit in that regard...or hey, maybe YOU are a mind-reader!

Surprised that we didn't go for him. We have enough cap room left for a long-term max deal. Maybe they'd trade him to us if we gave them their picks back.

Scola is like 36 years old. He's trending down faaaast. FAAAAASSSSTT!

Speaking of Dunn, how awful does Philly feel about not trading for the 3rd pick in the draft. What a whiff (it looks like right now).

Nah, it's only summer league. He's beating up on a bunch of 18 and 19-year olds. We'll see how it looks a couple of years from now. But if we were asking for the Lakers or their pick next year, they did the right thing.

Poor Brooklyn. I almost feel bad for them. Almost.

So the Nets' roster stands at 13 by my count, just 2 spots left.

Current depth chart

Jeremy Lin/ Greivis Vasquez/ Isaiah Whitehead
Bojan Bogdanovic/ Sean Kilpatrick/ Joe Harris
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson/ Caris LeVert
Luis Scola/ Trevor Booker/ Chris McCullough
Brook Lopez/ Justin Hamilton

Hopefully the last 2 spots are taken up by Summer League scrubs. If that isn't the worst roster in the league it's very close to it.

Trevor Booker is starting over Scola, but regardless, that is the worst roster in the NBA.

I know we said this last year (and they still finished third worst), but imagine if Lopez misses any significant time. Wow - that roster is horrible.

[footey]

My one concern is that Riley will try to tank next season, just to mess us up.

Looks like they're about to sign Anthony Bennett: https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto
