The Brooklyn Nets Will Regret This…

The Brooklyn Nets Will Regret This…

What happened that’s what I think that’s what I thought about what actually happened the reality of It come on that’s my preference yeah yeah but is it you is your body ready for that right now you think yeah I mean when they tell me I can go I can understand Brooklyn Nets fans looking at this video saying Mike you’re just a huge Brooklyn Nets hater and you like

Bagging on us whenever you get a chance no that’s not it at all whatsoever as a matter of fact I have your best interest in mind right now I feel like someone needs to take a stand and ask the brook Nets front office what the actual are

You guys doing like I’m not even a Nets fan look I’m a DieHard Laker fan and when my Lakers traded for Russell Westbrook I made sure that the whole world knew that I had no idea what my Lakers front office was doing and it seems like things just got a lot worse

Before they move the lines and you lose your advantage and thank you prize picks for the sponsor mik check 1212 what’s going on everybody for as long as I can remember the Nets were the laughing stock of the NBA I mean the only time that they weren’t was when Jason kid was

Their point guard and now he’s the coach of the Dallas Mavericks and for those of you guys that are relatively young and didn’t know yes Jason kid was once a point guard for the Nets in 2013 the Brooklyn Nets made a trade that was so terrible that it literally became a meme

Pretty much gutting out all their assets and trading for Jason Terry Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce in hopes of making a super team of some sorts that failed miserably and 3 years later Shawn marks had one of the most difficult jobs in the entire NBA being the general manager

Of the Brooklyn Nets a team that had no assets at all whatsoever and a team that didn’t look like they were going to have any assets for quite some time to give you an idea of how bad things were the Brooklyn Nets 2017 first round pick the

Number one overall pick in the NBA draft but the Boston Celtics had it and to be honest they leveraged that pick into building a Dynasty for themselves quite literally if it wasn’t for those Brooklyn Nets picks the Celtics would have never gotten Jaylen Brown and they would have never had Jason Tatum so

Shawn Marx had his work cut out for him and to be honest he did a remarkable job building the Brooklyn Nets into a somewhat respectable product trades like Brook Lopez for D’Angelo Russell and timoth mozgov or adding Spencer dwiti and hiring the right man for the job and

Kenny Atkinson were all thanks to Shawn marks and he was definitely on an upward trajectory until he decideed to move on from that core in favor of bringing in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and to be honest who could blame him if you’re a general manager like Shawn Marx the 2019

Off season if you’re able to hit on the Superstar Court of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving your job is secure for the foreseeable future so Shawn Marx’s strategy pivoted from acquiring undervalued talent and trying to boost up their value as much as he can to trying to assemble a super team and

Pretty much doing whatever the hell Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant would want and he literally did did Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant didn’t like Kenny Atkinson so he fired Kenny Atkinson and brought in Steve Nash which Kevin Durant endorsed Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant didn’t want it to be just them two

Running the show they wanted a third star so he traded away Jared Allen Carris Levert four first round picks and three pick swaps to acquire James Harden and this proved to be a horrific mistake at this point you already know what happened with the big three of James

Harden Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving they played 16 16 games together they were awesome in those 16 games together and they were a Kevin Durant foot on the line away from potentially making it to the NBA finals but instead we have Kevin Durant saying stuff like this do you

Think about that like what could have been at all no I mean it’s just a pointless exercise in my opinion to think about what could have been I mean what happened that’s what I think that’s what I thought about what actually happened a reality of it um we didn’t have enough time together

That’s just it guys want go their separate ways we tried our hardest to you know Salvage everything and bring everything together we had three or four different teams when I since I you know the first you know when I signed here until when I

Left um but at the end of the day I enjoy coming to work plan for you know being a part of this community and playing representing Brooklyn you know regardless of what went on what said or how I felt I still came to work and to be honest I think Kyrie Irving’s

Reactions way funnier Kyrie why you don’t play like this when you were on the Des yeah why why Kai May oh come on eventually the Brooklyn Nets had no choice but to Pivot from James Harden James Harden wanted out of Brooklyn so they traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers and in return got

Seth Curry Andre Drummond two first round picks and the shell of Ben Simmons which is literally why they’re in the situation they’re in now the Brooklyn Nets decided to Pivot once again Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant didn’t agree with Shawn Marx’s Vision so last trade deadline Shawn Marx traded Kyrie Irving

And Kevin Durant the first trade is one we’re going to be talking about a lot even though it was from last year but the Dallas Mavericks sent Spencer Den witty Dorian finny Smith a 2029 first round pick and two second round picks to the nets for Kyrie Irving at the time I

Thought this was a solid return Spencer dinwoody could be flipped eventually Dorian finny Smith had time to be flipped as well if you take a look at what the Portland Trail Blazers did in the Damen Lillard trade they traded Damen Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks and got Brew holiday DeAndre Aon toan Kamar

A 2029 unprotected first round pick and two pick swaps as well but they also traded Drew Holliday to the Boston Celtics and as a result got Malcolm Brogden Robert Williams and two first round picks that’s the way you’re supposed to do it you’re supposed to get those assets and turn them into

Additional assets especially if you know you’re headed towards a rebuild build and that is my problem with the Brooklyn Nets right now because they pretty much did the same exact thing with the Kevin Durant trade and I want to make it abundantly clear the fact that last year

The Brooklyn Nets were able to trade Kevin Durant and TJ Warren and get four first round picks and a pick swap is nothing short of amazing nothing against Kevin Durant he’s one of the most Transcendent scorers of all time one of the best players in NBA history whether

He’s top 10 or not is really up for debate and you could let me know in the comments section down below if Kevin Durant is a top 10 player of all time but still this was a remarkable trade the Suns sent back four first round picks a pick swap Mel Bridges cam

Johnson and Jay Crowder this essentially allowed the Brooklyn Nets to begin rebuilding and they had a lot of options here you could immediately flip Mel Bridges and cam Johnson you could build up their value and eventually flip them it doesn’t really matter because at the

End of the day there was one thing that was certain the fact that the Brooklyn Nets traded James Harden for Ben Simmons and Ben Simmons sucks and has no value at all whatsoever essentially is forcing the Brooklyn Nets to rebuild either Ben Simmons turns into the next coming of

LeBron James under his current contract or you trade Ben Simmons and pay a hefty sum of money in order to trade Ben Simmons probably taking back bad contracts or giving up first round picks to move on from Ben Simmons which is something you won’t do unless if you’re

Ready to compete now or you just have to hold on to him till his contract expires and that’s probably what the Brooklyn Nets are going to do right now they’re going to hold on to Ben Simmons’s contract until it expires you can’t build a contender when one of your max

Contract slots are taken up by a player that is playing significantly beneath the value of that contract and that’s nothing against Ben Simmons that’s just how it works I said the same thing about the 2022 Los Angeles Lakers you cannot compete with Anthony Davis and LeBron James getting paid Max contracts and

Then Russell Westbrook getting a supermax contract when all three of those players don’t work together and the rest of your team is going to be filled with veteran minimum contracts and the Nets are essentially in the same exact position here there’s no way that they could compete right now so they

Have no choice but to rebuild fortunately for them they have a plethora of assets to rebuild with they have Mel Bridges cam Johnson and Dorian finny Smith which are very valuable players on any team as a matter of fact there were several rumors suggesting that there were some teams that were

Willing to give up a total of five first round picks including first round pick swaps for Mel Bridges in my last video on this topic we discussed how the Houston Rockets were very interested in trading back Brooklyn’s own picks alongside potentially jayen green just so they could get Mel Bridges now I want

You guys to understand I think what the Nets did with Mikel Bridges is remarkable and you may not have really noticed it because well the Brooklyn Nets aren’t necessarily the most competitive team yeah they made it to the playoffs last year but come on a huge reason for that was because of the

Work that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving did in the first half of last season but they get Mel Bridges a player that is remarkable in Phoenix but during the 2021 to 2022 season he was averaging about 14 points per game and during the first half of his season with the

Phoenix Suns last year he was averaging 17 points per game he gets acquired by the Brooklyn Nets all of a sudden this guy is a 26 points per game player and he’s currently averaging 22 points per game off of 37% from the field you have a lot of teams that are convinced that

Mel Bridges could be Kawhi Leonard plus a player that can make stops defensively that can catch fire offensively I could score in a plethora of different ways and now you have a situation where a team is willing to give up multiple first round picks in this case five

First round picks in addition to first round pick swaps in order to get Mel Bridges so what’s the hold up well the Brooklyn Nets didn’t want to trade Mel Bridges why I don’t know I I I really couldn’t tell you maybe someone here could tell me as it stands right now the

Brooklyn Nets are the 11th best team in the NBA there are two spots behind the Atlanta Hawks for a playin spot in the NBA Playoffs they made trades at the trade deadline they traded Spencer deny for Dennis shuder they traded Roy O’Neil for three future second round picks but

They turned down trade offers for Mel Bridges that would include five first round picks and they also reportedly turned down a trade offer that featured two first round picks for Dory and finy Smith why why would you do that so you can compete for the 10th spot of the

East Mikel Bridges is 27 years old and in the peak of his prime Mel bridges’ contract is incredible for where it is right now and it doesn’t expire for another two years this is the only time you would get some crazy offer like five first round picks for Mel Bridges and

Two first round picks for Dorian finny Smith that would bring the pick total that you would have had with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant’s trade as well to 12 total picks to be honest you would make out like bandits in that situation you would be able to go into any

Situation and any rebuild with excitement and enthusiasm for the future you’d be the next coming of the OKC Thunder yeah sure it took them 5 years to rebuild but man look at them now for the life of me I can’t understand why they wouldn’t do this I think the Nets

Are a little delusional in regards to where their standing is and what their future is going to look like I mean you have Ben Simmons coming off the bench for Christ’s sake so you said you starting tonight was a late decision and obviously that had a lot to do with you

Guys being short-handed but if the decision going forward like I know you’re on a men’s restriction and stuff but decision going that’s my preference yeah yeah but is it you is your body ready for that right now you think yeah I mean when they tell me I can

Go I’m able to play even even though I have the Restriction that’s where I want to be that’s I want to be starting so um I think I’m more useful starting than on the Ben so I couldn’t really tell you what the Brooklyn Nets are doing I think they’re absolutely delusional when it

Comes to where they currently are in the NBA they can’t compete right now there’s no chance that they could compete right now they aren’t going to be able to make it to the finals ahead of the Boston Celtics Miami Heat New York Knicks Philadelphia 76ers with or without Joel

Embiid might I add Cleveland Cavaliers not in this order at all whatsoever by the way so I don’t really know what their plan is here I I don’t know why they wouldn’t give up on Mel Bridges and the thing that bothers me the most is I’ve seen this story at least like three

Times this season in the Pascal seum trade and the OG anobi trade and the Bohan bonovich Alec Burks trade these teams have this tendency of getting way too attached to the player that they have and holding on to him for way too long all of a sudden an offer of five

First round picks turns into an offer of two first round picks next year before you know it it turns into an offer of multiple second round round picks the year after because they have no leverage at all whatsoever in this situation and the player is going to become a free

Agent in about 4 months time and that’s where I think the direction of the Brooklyn Nets is clip this save it bookmark it whatever you want call me out in 2 years I invite you my Twitter’s in the description down below along with my Instagram and Tik Tok in about two

Years from now the Brooklyn Nets are going to be trading the same exact players but for pennies on the dollar they have themselves to blame for it I’ve always praised the teams that understood what they need to do in order to get back to a place of contention

Until Ben Simmons is off of this roster the Brooklyn Nets aren’t going to be able to compete so they might as well hoard as many assets as they can and try to rebuild but they won’t because they’re stuck and they’re delusional so they’re holding on to all of their role

Players and in this case I think Mel bries as a star for another year and for what the longer you hold on to them the more they depreciate let me know in the comment section down below if you’re a Brooklyn NS fan maybe you can explain to

Me what’s going on maybe I’m stupid I’d like to hear what you have to say aside from that I’m your boy Mike I’m dropping our mic until our next upload
