It's tempting to think the sky is falling when we get beaten by a strong, seasoned Spurs team with four maybe five future HOFers, by 6 points, but people really need to realize our time is not now. Our time is in three or four years when our team will be ridiculously strong. These games serve as a nice reminderHow will we be ridiculously strong in 3 or 4 years? I'm not seeing it. Smart, Thomas and Bradley are due to be paid in two years so we'll most likely lose one of them. Horford will be 33/34. Im betting that Wyc will be paying the luxury tax just to retain that core if they manage to finish season with 50+ wins in the next two years.He could and it wouldnt be the dumbest idea. As long Brooklyn '17 or '18 yields a potential superstaror obviously if Brown looks like he could be one.

Smart, Thomas and Bradley are due to be paid in two years so we'll most likely lose one of them. Horford will be 33/34. yeah, we are kinda building 2 potential championship cores at once. The first one has a 2 year timeline to acquire the next star. Say you get a Cousins or a Griffin or some mystery star prior to Smart/AB/Thomas expiring. Then you use Bird rights to keep everyone you need and chase a title with:StarHorfordprobably 2 of Bradley Smart ThomasCrowderwhoever of Brown/Rozier/'17/'18 we get to keep while getting starthe other one is if that mystical star never comes to us and we get to '18 FA. In this situation Id advocate keeping 1 of Smart/Bradley/Thomas (I like Smart largely because Thomas's size scares me, Bradley's reliance on his athleticism defensively and more importantly on his jumper scares my and most importantly because I think Marcus's lack of scoring/shooting will make him cheap) then you still keep an oldish Horford and an end of his prime Crowder and build around your 16-18 Nets picks with those guys making up a terrific supporting cast.Its possible to haveSmartCrowderHorfordRozierhopefully one of those Euros or Demetrius works outBrown'17'18perhaps we could still fit a max on top?In a perfect world, you get your star in FA this year (Griffin?) keep 17 and 18 and Brown and one winfow of contention moves seemlessly into the other.
Either way Kings losing is a win win to us. If Kings win, Brooklyn loses. If Kings lose to the Nets, Cousins gets disgruntled, and even more considering how bad the Nets are currently right now.
No Hollis-Jefferson again. So there's that, at least. I never know what to expect from the Kings though. I don't want to jinx things, but the Kings really have no business losing to Brooklyn.
97-81 Nets lead. 9 minutes to go in the game.
