They're about to trade Lopez and Young for picks and go full blown rebuild... this is the best news we could have gotten for our pick, at least this year

Team often play harder for a new coach .  But .....in this case not sure the Coach was the problem so much , the Mets played hard and were close to winning a bunch of games .

I still takes some games games to get a new coach broke in with his new team and adjustment period . ......so it will be about the same win to loss ratio I guessing .

I think more important is ...what player moves will the Nets make. ?? That could be big either way for Celtics.

i dont see how they can make any realistic moves to improve the team this year. i do see the possibility of them making moves to acquire draft picks and starting a rebuild from scratch.

if so, then in the short term of 1-3 years the nets could really, really stink. i like it.

Plus, given his injury history would it really be a shock if Lopez misses signicant time during the next 2 1/2 years?

Minnesota & Phoenix are the two currently very scary teams regarding our Nets pick. Minny has lost 6 in a row and Phoenix has lost like 10 of 11.

It is probably in our best long-term interest to lose (prob won't even need to be on purpose with how we've been playing) on Friday vs. the Suns...

This is getting even better:

Billy King is expected to advise ownership on its search for his successor as general manager of the Brooklyn Nets.

Mikhail Prokhorov pushed King out of the job.

Rod Thorn had played a part in hiring King upon Thorn's departure from the Nets in 2010, but Thorn had resigned his position.

The Nets surrendered seven first round picks, including five of their own, and 11 second rounders to chase instant success during the tenure of King. - Woj

Hopefully Billy picks someone incompetent; just like himself

It looks like Prokhorov is as incompetent as King. Why fire a guy as the GM a monh before the trade deadline with no replacement in place? Then, why fire a guy as GM based on incompetence , yet ask him to pick his successor? The Nets are doomed.

Agreed!
I can see Prokhorov going hard for John Calipari from UK. He might even be dumb enough to offer him a GM/Coach job in the style of what Doc has in the Clippers organization.

Dang! That would have been a dream come true with regard to the pick that they owe us!

The Nets are almost certainly going to lose, but they don't look totally defeated yet.  I was hoping to see a Spurs line up of Mills / Ray McCallum / Jonathan Simmons / Rasul Butler / Boban by now.

[SCeltic34]

Playing Willie Reed and Thomas Robinson together -  I don't get the thinking behind that.  Should switch up the rotation to make sure at least one of Thad Young or Lopez is on the floor at all times.

And holy crap this Marjanovic dude is huge.  Makes Brook Lopez look small.

[rondofan1255]

I was logging on just then to post about Boban (unsure how to spell last name).

That guy is tall.

Edit: he looks 7'4 but is listed shorter than that

[SCeltic34]

Joe Johnson is having a strong January.  14.6 PPG on 48% shooting so far for the month, about 36 mins per game.  He looked good against us and is having a good game against the Spurs.  Still kills team ball movement and overdribbles the ball, but he's actually putting the ball in the bucket now.  I don't expect it to be long lived.
