Nets traded away draft pick team

[Moranis]

So here is a team of players that were drafted with a draft pick that at one time was owned by the Nets that never played for the Nets.  Pretty clearly a mid tier playoff team with a pretty bright future.

PG - Damien Lillard
SG - Jaylen Brown
SF - Jayson Tatum (let's just assume Boston would have taken him at 1)
PF - Draymond Green
C - Enes Kanter

Bench - 2018 1st, 2018 2nd, Kelly Oubre, Kyle Kuzma, Brandan Wright, James Young

Dang, that's actually a really good team IMO.

Yes it's young, and yes the bench would look weak, but on paper that would be an extremely bright team in the future that I guess you would say today was a mid-tier playoff team as a 5-7 seed (as you said).

Of course if they kept any of those earlier picks they may not have finished in the same draft position the following years.

But still, this is an interesting thread nonetheless.

TP!

That Gerald Wallace trade was so bad.

That Gerald Wallace trade was so bad.

And then we got Gerald Wallace's albatross contract, but it did came with "the future" at that time, and today is finally "the future"

And Danny was nearly crucified for taking on that contract..I suppose it was the only way then for the Nets to let go of all those sleu of draft pick..that yucky contract of Wallace which after a few excruciating years is now...Gold. turn that to AD and wow🙃🙃🤑

You can decide whether or not it counts, but shouldn't Derrick Favors be on this team as well? I know he played like half a season for the Nets, but he was a former lottery pick who was traded for Williams.

That 2018 pick could be a Michael Porter Jr. or Jaren Jackson type player. That’s insane
