I was hoping for the Nets to win, actually just this time to gain a cushion over the Wizards in HCA.

It's a shame some people were conflicted over who they wanted to lose. That was a quality L.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Unbelievable how bad this team is lol.

Read that last line again. One more time.

a stroll down memory lane folks.

over on Sosh, i found the Nets Daily post from draft day 2013 when the big trade with the nets took place.

the article is not that interesting, but the comments from the nets fans are fun to read.  among my favorites:

"The picks are going to be in the 25-30 range."

"I hope we don't give up Toko Shengelia to Boston."

enjoy on a friday.  ;D

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

In fairness, Toko Shengelia did have one fantastic season with the Springfield Armor...

You know what thought I can see a universe where this all panned out a lot differently than it did.
For starters, it was unlucky they lost Brook for half the season and all the playoffs. He was a bad fit with KG, but Brook would have helped immensely in the playoffs. That being said they had one of those closer than it seems second round exits against the Heat.

They lost the series 4-1 but these games were really close. In game 4 they were tied with 3 minutes left and had the lead a few times in the 4th quarter.

In game 6 they somehow lost despite being up 9 with 3 minutes left in what was a really brutal choke job.

If those two games go differently maybe that team wins the series and the chip.

I know it is easy to make fun of the move and overall it was definitely a bad move. However, a few small things break differently for that trade and it is far from the laughingstock it now comes off as (nobody is laughing at a deal that leads to a championship)

Is there protection on the 2016 and 2018 picks?

No one answered this guy because they didn't think it could go south that quickly.  ;D
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.
