Damn his jumper was wet......he's gonna have a chance to get some shots in Utah....Haywards shots gotta go somewhere.
I don't think he had a choice. I don't think no one had any money to sign him did they? And no one was gonna commit 20 million a year for him either.
I don't know about him being good on offense......that jumper is real inconsistent.
I gotta say though...I think he has more offensive potential than AVery Bradley does......not sure why they considered him a upgrade.
The Pistons didn't want pay what he was asking for, I think it was something like 5 year/ $80 mil he was trying to get . On the Pistons he was decent but I think with the Lakers he should get the green light though.
I think he was getting better. Bradley is a better defender though and better offensively.............I think Caldwell is younger though and seemed like he was starting to turn that corner........he will have that green light in LA.......but I think Ball, Randle and Ingram gonna dominate the ball though.
The one thing that I dont like about KCP signing with the Lakers is that it will cut into the minutes of rookie Josh Hart from Villanova
Yea he's gonna have a hard time finding minutes...Jordan Clarkson gotta get his too.
KCP on the lakers is Jodie Meeks all overs again
And I fucks with KCP
Ball
Westbrook
PG
Lebron

LEbron ain't never coming out West unless they move the Lakers to the Eastern Conference. HE's too scared of the West.
The west is juicy and that's how the wc team will make money
East teams markets will make money regardless. (Bkn nyk chi philly dc boston ect )
West coast teams and owners need them stars to make a profit
That's what Cuban was talking about
Lebron is comint west nigga and will have shit onsmash.
Now them east coast niggas gatta stay up late and feed into them west markets
Rumor is this step one in getting LeBron to La. KCP is signed to Klutch (Rich Paul agency) and James is a fan of his game.
Nets had interest I heard but wasn't willing to give him all the money. Di dnt want to give up the cap space either.
Niggas said that about Shabazz Napier too lol.
Naw Riley jumped with that but didn't realize Lebron ain't the average superstar...there's levels to this shit...
But too keep the laugh going...Riley was ready to ship Shabazz and his mama out of south beach a few weeks after the draft, Lebron got dude some extra money but also got his ass traded

Sean Marks rebuild getting noticed
San Antonio Spurs
Sean Marks has had a notable off-season and now as it nears an end, others beyond Nets fans are noticing. Getting a potential star in a salary dump; drafting a player at No. 22 who many should have been plugged into the lottery; adding two picks in 2018 when last week there were none ... and still having more than $17 million to play with. That’s an accomplishment!
Danny Chau, writing for The Ringer Monday, is the latest to take a look. He portrays Marks transformation of the Nets as a rescue mission that saved a drowning team.
The Nets for years were in a dark, dark place and have now stumbled into an area notably less so. To understand what GM Sean Marks has accomplished in his year and a half with the team, you have to hold your nose and take a dive back into that abyss. In other words, you have to put yourself in his shoes.
Referring to the situation Marks walked into as a “half-decade of hall-of-shame-level mismanagement by then-GM Billy King and his co-conspirators,” Chau writes the result was “a level of purgatory that almost defies the parameters of the sport.”
The former Spurs assistant coach and assistant GM came up with a plan to turn things around, a multi-year plan that had to be different from the “awfully regimented” model of using draft picks to crawl back into contention. The Nets had none.
There they were on the absolute fringe, an outlier whose situation denatured the very objective of professional basketball: Winning didn’t matter because they couldn’t; losing didn’t matter because there would be no compensatory relief. It was a Kafka story played out on hardwood.
Relationships, Chau writes, has a lot to do with the plan. Take the Nets insistence on making bids on restricted free agents, which some see as a fool’s errand, particularly after this weekend’s match on Otto Porter. The Ringer writer sees a method to the madness.
t almost feels like the failure is by design — a “tanking” of free agency that engages in brinkmanship, forcing opposing teams into difficult choices, while endearing the team to agents who suddenly see it as a place that is willing to do the most for their clients.
Marks doesn’t just enrage his counterparts. He leavens things by being a willing partner in salary dumps.
[A]s to not completely alienate themselves from the rest of the league with their pettiness, they’ve also become willing accomplices for teams eager to get rid of a body in exchange for assets. That, more than anything, has laid the foundation for how the Nets have crawled out of no-man’s-land.
It will NOT lead to any quick returns, Chau warns. It’s going to take a while. How long? Take a look at the timelines of the players he’s accepted in the salary dumps. Only Mozgov’s extends beyond the 2018-19 season when the Nets are back in the Draft with their own pick. That’s the goal line for what Chau calls “beautifully executed 3-yard gains, a sign of forward progress.”
So far, the fans are on board. Marks is also disproving that axiom, you can’t rebuild in New York. We don’t have any data on season ticket sales or corporate partnerships, to measures of how fans and clients feel. We have only our own anecdotal data taken from our comment boards, our viewership. It’s almost all positive.
And now, Marks is starting to get that notice. Stories here and there, comments by pundits offering nods of affirmation. As Chau concludes...
Sean Marks has flipped the script entirely, carving a future out of the abyss by taking a longer view. He’s shepherding, in my opinion, one of the most interesting teams in the league. True to their strategy, in proving that there is no such thing as an untradable contract, the Nets are also proving that there is no such thing as an unsavable team.
Chau is not alone either. Shaun Powell, writing for NBA.com, calls the pre-Marks Nets a “shipwreck” rather than an “abyss,” but makes the point that the new GM has used his creative side quite well.
Armed with virtually no assets except salary cap space, Marks has swung deals to add Draft picks and players in whom the Nets can invest – the main one being newly acquired 21-year-old former Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell. Suddenly, a plan is in place and if you squint, you can visualize the day when the Nets are no longer victims of one of the most egregious franchise collapses in recent memory.
Right now, the life-saving is the story. At some point, we and everyone connected with the Nets hope the next stage will follow, that there will be a celebration of success. Until then, we’ll all just sit back and watch the lifeguard at work.

With all this money being spent, if feels like the most important thing to have is Cap Space. All our moves this off season has been based off that.
It's very important. Something the Nets and Sixers have is cap space. Will come in handy next year no question. Sixers can sign two max guys.

Who would y'all target next year that compliments your young nucleus?

Resign JJ if he have a great yr...
Then apply a little wishful thinking by hoping Lebron want to trust the process or be the process
Nets should be contracted or made into the sonics after that trade
Nets gonna be trash for awhile but at least they going about it smarter. Getting Russel was a big move for them. It at least gave them a shot at a past lottery pick two years removed.I like the Nets new logo too. Shits hot. Nets gonna be alright. Goddam Knicks.
I don't know how the league let that go down. I just don't. I'm still in shock.

Jack I rock with y'all squad man....nobody going to Philly or Brooklyn man lol.
True... theyre tripping over each other trying to get to Dallas
Don't believe everyone will leave that money on the table D. Lots of talented players would want to play with an Embiid cause he opens the floor so much. Hinkie days over bro.
Bruh if thing gel out like we believe they will, FA will give us a look bro. Funny thing is, Dudes are desperately trying to hold on to the same played jokes that were hilarious when we were starting Hollis Thompson and Brandon Davies. We are one of the young up and coming teams in the league with all the young talent we have and in a few years when a lot of the current stars are on the downside and we are on the come up, FAs will definitely look at us. I just laugh at Dudes at this point Bro.... theyre funny as hellDon't believe everyone will leave that money on the table D. Lots of talented players would want to play with an Embiid cause he opens the floor so much. Hinkie days over bro.
LeBron would be a fool goin out west. No way he gets to the finals out there. If he went to Philly he wouldn't have to do much till playoff time. He s getting older and has some miles on those knees with all the playoff games so it's not as far fetched as it sounds. Maybe Melo.
Yeah to say players would leave 80-120 mil on the table because what happened with the Sixers with tanking is absurd. Look at the roster now!Bruh if thing gel out like we believe they will, FA will give us a look bro.

I don't know why every time I say something about the 6ers you bring the Mavs up like that's offensive. I know we are closer to the Nets than we are the Warriors. I'm not delusional. But you bring up Dallas...and I think the Harrison Barnes of the world is about as good as you are gonna get in Philly...which may be good enough who knows how shit plays out.
What caliber of free agents we talking about? We talking about the Rudy Gay's of the world or the Paul Georges?
