sad how many of these events have nothing to do with basketball

Even though I knew what was gonna happen next, this timeline still felt like a roller coaster

We’ve been through more stress than most, if not, every sports fan out there in the past 3 years. We deserve some happiness rn.

Wild that Dinwiddie’s injury isn’t on it. As far as bad luck goes, that really was the starting point.

One thing I would add is LMA’s heart condition.

I would say “fuck kyrie”

If I had more room I would also add:
-Spencer Dinwiddie’s injury in Dec 2020
-Blake Griffin signing
-LaMarcus Aldridge signing and retirment (2020-21)
-KD signing an extension
-Joe Harris Injury in 2022
-Ben Simmons rumoured to play in the 2022 playoffs and then sitting out
-Nets rumoured to sign Ime before Vaughn

Great job. My only beef with marks was not allowing kyrie to play in road games last year. I never understood why they took that route with him

That’s a pretty well story boarded sitcom right there… Kyrie & KD: Hey everybody! Nets Fans: Hey guys. K&K: Guess what we wanted today folks. NF: What did you want?…(shaking heads and smiling) K&K: Well…

the last event should be 2023 not 2022

KD was also sidelined for much of the 2021 season, but otherwise, yeah…a collection of mostly off-court chaos

A whole lotta drama drama and more drama and nothing has to do with on the court

Great job with this. Pretty much nails the events. Thanks for not adding unnecessary slant. The events speak for themselves.

Will never fully heal from that series vs the bucks, even just seeing his shoe on the line makes me want to collapse. All went downhill after that
RiseofParallax
This is a composition of facts and the crazy thing is there are people saying the nets FO + organization is dysfunctional. Fuck Kyrie.

Thanks for pulling this together. 7/11 was our 9/11.

That was a rollercoaster, the start of the downfall was hiring Nash.

The biggest mistake is the Simmons trade. KD will stay if he has decent help. I think he already accepted that Kyrie will be moved or signed elsewhere but being stuck with Simmons with untradable value and eating your salary cap for the next couple of years is really head scratching. The decision making of Front Office is questionable they make decisions from the top contender to trading your star player in the span of 15 -30 days. This shows front office inexperience getting panic attacks the moment issues arise. There are better ways to handle players issues look at the Lakers how they handle Westbrook from being untradable to retaining your Star player and getting them some help.

Forgot to mention that kyrie was still at games during covid. Even home games going to player’s locker rooms. Wearing no mask. play practices in the nets facility. But the NYC mandate for some reason didn’t allow him to play home games. Even though he was in the arena. There were fans unvaccinated in the stands. Some Fans have no masks etc but they are afraid of covid? Can’t play home games but other players from other teams who are unvaccinated can play in Barclays. Also, Kyrie getting fined every home game he doesn’t play when he wants to play.

I’d be so pissed if I was a Nets fan. I always tried to look at it from your perspective, and could only imagine how annoyed I’d be if I had a guy like Kawhi or Kyrie who miss most of the season for multiple seasons. I’m not sure if KD falls into that category too, but he was out of the league for a long time.
You guys have a tendency to trade the farm for a stacked group of established stars. It’s a big risk, and it’s seared you guys multiple times now.

I think you should have included Kyrie saging the court at the Boston Garden.

The sheer concentration of talent the Nets had should’ve given them a championship — only between injuries and Kyrie… man.
