The Brooklyn Nets are beginning a new era in which the present and future is about youth and potential now that Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden are no longer part of the team. Due to the change in personnel, most in the NBA space believe that the Nets will be a fringe playoff team at best.

To that point, Bill Simmons recently published an episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast” in which he, along with Ryen Russillo and Joe House, previewed the Atlantic Division in terms of whether each team will go over or under their projected win total for the 2023-24 season.

When it was time to discuss the Nets, Simmons had some interesting things to say about Brooklyn. For context, in the video posted below, the over/under that the trio is reacting to for the Nets is 37.5 wins, which seems to be consistent with where most betting markets have the Nets in terms of expectations.

Among other things, Simmons had this to say about the Nets:

“I personally think they blew it not going for Dame (Damian) Lillard. So, here’s where it gets tough because I don’t like this team and they are making Ben Simmons the point forward and Spencer Dinwiddie has had some thoughts about this already. He’s positive about it but, he had the car keys last year and now, Ben’s going to have the car keys. So, he’s (Dinwiddie) going to have to learn to adjust off the ball.”

  1. that clown is a celtics homer no surpirse he hasnt watched a simple ben simmons minute this pre seaon lmaoo ."i dont know if he likes playing baskteball" thats when you can tell these are the typical mainstream, follow whatever is the lazy narrative "analyst"t they dont watch baskteball aside from the "mainstream teams". they are stuck in 2021

  2. For one… I think Ben feels accepted and fully welcomes his role as a key player for us.

    Rashid… get this: I really think he's been HOLDING BACK just a tad bit in preseason. But he's shown that he is healthy AND MOTIVATED to disprove the media wide slander.

    Saving it for the REAL season!!!

  3. I looked at this quickly while strolling and I thought BEN Simmons hated this team. Up too late. Glad I found you May or June?

  4. We are completely trash if Ben “mentally soft” Simmons is our main guy…….We won’t even make the play in……..(for all the bets I have offered not one has been taken up by this guy)

    If he thinks the teams trash, he should try looking at some of the people who create u tube videos about Ben Simmons, I mean Brooklyn 😂😂

  5. 3 years out of the game…….Heeeee’s injured 🤣🤣🤣

    No dummy, he spent a year and a bit sitting out due mental health issues…….Because he couldn’t punch on a 6” guard, his coach stated facts, that is when we see a mentally fragile individual 🤡

  6. Big nets fan here. Im a homer but when you said Lonnie Walker is better than Austin Reaves I got a good laugh. Keep up the good nets content!
