Lock this thread up.

Who cares now, I'm sure Cavs will flip pick for some other superstar.

Still worth monitoring. This time however, we want the Nets to win many games as possible.

Oh no we lost a Nets pick for an All-Star, now do that 3 times without getting an All-Star back and you can start to imagine what it's like being a Nets fan  ;D

Well, I guess the small respect/love of the Nets I've developed from paying so much attention to them for the past few years can now be channeled into rooting for them instead of against them. I really think Marks and Atkinson can do a lot of good for them in the next couple of seasons.

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO TRADE LOPEZ, though!?
I'm bitter.

Here's hoping Lopez was holding them back despite our better judgment, and he'll now tank the Lakers.

Go Nets!

So, about those crazy Nets playoff predictions...

I personally think Caris Levert is right about the playoffs being 'really realistic.' I am also excited to see Russell and Crabbe representing the Nets during All-Star weekend.

Go Nets!!  :o

The nets winning 35-40 games and the pick being in the 12-17 range this upcoming season will be wonderful.

Who cares about the Nets now. Can't wait for this thread to die off.

Still worth keeping this thread to monitor the outcome of the trade.

At least now I can root for the Nets. It was weird enjoying their play style but hoping they'd lose..

The Nets are still going to be bad, but for the sake of looking at this positively:

Look around the bottom of the Eastern conference this season. The Bulls, Hawks, Magic, and Pacers are going to be awful. Really bad. The Nets didn't really have any tanking competition in the East last season but they will this year. Even if the Nets are terrible and win 25 games, could there be 3 or 4 more teams win 24 games or less, just in the East?

I think it's possible.

Throw in bad years from the Lakers, Suns, and Kings and there is a universe in which the Nets are just as bad as we thought but they wind up with the 7th pick in a 5 player draft.

Here's hoping.
