The Brooklyn Nets Are Going Out Sad…

The Brooklyn Nets Are Going Out Sad…

The Rockets called the Nets on mckill Bridges but Jaylen greens needs this space it was not accepted by the Brooklyn Nets that didn’t progress anywhere how do their Styles balance each other they haven’t figured it out yet when we started making a lot more Brooklyn Nets content about 2 years ago

People were saying that I was a Kyrie Irving hater or a James Harden hater but I’m still discussing the Brooklyn Nets now and people are calling me a Nets hater but it’s nothing to do with me hating the Nets it has a lot more to do with me just hating the decisions that

This organization makes and the recent news that we got in regards to the Brooklyn Nets will frustrate a lot of Brooklyn Nets fans so before we get to the content we are less than 100,000 subscribers away from 1 million subscribers I’m currently racing my football channel microphone to get there

Hooking up my subscribers fat when you use my promo code flight Mike when you sign up for prize picks and thank you prize picks for the sponsor mike check 1212 what’s going on everybody the Brooklyn Nets have had a history of making some pretty terrible decisions even with different regimes I mean when

Mel prerov decided to purchase the Brooklyn Nets well at the time the New Jersey Nets and move them to Brooklyn he decided to trade his team’s entire future for Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce and Jason Terry we all know what would happen with this move it proved to be

Absolutely disastrous it led the Boston Celtics to being able to trade down for Jason Tatum and to also draft Jaylen Brown there’s no question in anyone’s mind that if it wasn’t for this trade the Boston Celtics would have a few tough years rebuilding but the Brooklyn Nets did something that was completely

Unexpected throughout the years where they had absolutely no assets at all whatsoever they were able to find Diamonds in the Rough and develop those diamonds for example they traded Brook Lopez for D’Angelo Russell and Tima mozgov they started working on developing Jared Allen and Spencer dwit

And Caris lever and they had one of the best developmental coaches in the game in Kenny Atkinson and that was probably the last season Where Brooklyn Nets fans were able to look at their roster and genuinely be proud of that team because this was a team that was constructed

Just by finding talented players and focusing on their development and it worked wonderfully until the Brooklyn Nets decided to chase the pot of gold once again Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving stated that they wanted to come to Brooklyn and immediately through their influence the Brooklyn Nets decided to

Gouge the rest of their roster once again if you go back to my content in 2020 you’ll see multiple instances where Kyrie Irving says that him and KD needed more help even before Kevin Durant made it onto the basketball court and I personally disagreed with this I felt

Like the Brooklyn Nets had this beautiful blend of depth and star power that could take them to a championship and I think a lot of people forget how much depth this team had aside from Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant you had tan Prince Carris lever Jared Allen Joe Harris Tyler Johnson Wilson Chandler

Benser dwy and yes you even add Jamal Crawford who was there towards the end of his career but despite this the Brooklyns decided to listen to Kyrie Irving a year later and decided to go all in on this core trading Carris lever Jared Allen Coran prince three unprotected first round picks in 2022

2024 and 2026 plus pick swaps in 2021 2023 2025 and 2027 in order to get James Harden we all know how this would turn out for the Brooklyn Nets Kyrie Irving Kevin Durant and James Harden were remarkable when they played with each other but that was the problem they were

Always dealing with injuries and it seems like there were some issues behind the scenes as well next thing you know James Harden also gets traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons and this is where the Brooklyn Nets found themselves in some trouble because right

When you went all in to get James Harden you had no choice but to punt on James Harden about a year later and before you knew it the rest of the Brooklyn Nets were dismantled as well Kevin Durant was traded for a remarkable haul and I think this was probably the greatest trade

They made during the Brooklyn Nets era because it seems like Kevin Durant is once again in the same exact position again only this time with the Phoenix Suns I don’t know how this man keeps making the same mistake over and over and over again in his career and keeps

Expecting a different result but that’s a different video for a different day the Nets were able to get Mel Bridges cam Johnson Jay Crowder and four first round picks and a 2028 pick swap which down the line should be very valuable just given the trajectory of the Phoenix

Suns currently but obviously the problem with the Nets is you have this roster that can’t rebuild because you have Ben Simmons under contract till the 2025 season but you still have a plethora of very good talent in the form of Mikel Bridges and cam Johnson and Dorian finy

Smith but this team isn’t good enough to compete for an NBA championship because you guys are pretty much handicapped by the Ben Simmons contract and Ben Simmons never plays but at the same time you don’t have your draft pick so you can’t really tank either so the only thing you

Really could do at this point is essentially do what you did during the 2018 season and that’s trade away all of your assets and try to find good players that you could develop once again but the problem problem with the Brooklyn Nets is it seems like they just don’t

Want to do that and the reason doesn’t make sense to anyone in the NBA for example during the trade deadline they got a remarkable offer for Dory and finy Smith turning down two first round picks for Dory and finy smiith now you don’t really have to be a genius to know that

This was a trade that they should have accepted immediately they’re in a place where they need to sell as much as they possibly could and eventually they wouldn’t get an offer that’s even close to that the biggest move they would make during the trade deadline was moving on

From Spencer deny and that’s about it of course they fired jacqu Von as well and there was a question of whether or not Ben Simmons would be able to play any more games for the Brooklyns for the remainder of the Season which spoiler alert Ben Simmons was injured for the

Rest of the season and he won’t be playing until next year honestly I don’t see Ben Simmons playing in the NBA in two years from now he traded away Royce O’Neal which I guess indicates that they’re down to rebuild but probably the biggest storyline about this team that I

Never understood is their management of Mikel Bridges now you need to understand Mikel bridges in my opinion is one of the most versatile and talented players in the entire NBA and the Brooklyn Nets did exactly what they were supposed to do they took a player that wasn’t necessarily the primary option on the

Phoenix Suns last year they showed what he could do when he had his own team and he averaged 26 points per game for the remainder of the season last year and they held on to him and this year once again he’s averaging 20 points per game shooting Sho 37% from three which isn’t

Necessarily as good as last year but again melbridge has really showed what he can do if he’s on a team that is trending nowhere and if he had the green light to score in volume this ultimately led to a lot of talented teams with a tremendous amount of draft Capital to

Offer trades for Mel Bridges and if you’re the Brooklyn Nets this makes a lot of sense you’re in a situation where clearly you won’t win a championship or you can’t even build a contender until Ben Simmons is off of your books and at the time we found out that the Brooklyn

Nets turned down multiple offers from Mel Bridges offers that included five first round picks League sources stated that the Nets have claimed multiple offers of five first rounders for Mel Bridges while this Source was pretty skeptical on that front it may be five firsts with swaps and or heavily

Protected picks and if the offer was really five firsts why share that and then continue to say that they’re not interested in trading Bridges well Shams gave us an idea of what the offer was and Look Away Brooklyn Nets fans and just taking us back two months ago the

Rockets called the Nets on mckill Bridges and I’m told they discussed a concept around Jaylen Green in multiple first round picks that deal was not accepted by the Brooklyn Nets that didn’t progress anywhere and now you’re looking at it you have a it’s a great problem for the Rockets to have you have

Two burgeoning stars I think with sangon with Jaylen green and they’re both extension elol this summer they’re both going to be in line for massive deals potentially in extensions but Jaylen greens needs this space like this Pace that they’re playing with now he needs it without sangun in the lineup so what

Do you do if you’re the Rockets moving forward can you can these two guys coexist can they play with each other how do their Styles balance each other they haven’t figured it out yet so at the time when I was making content on this topic I had no idea that Jaylen

Green was being packaged with multiple first round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for muel Bridges and if that’s the case then the Nets just continue to look worse and worse you see the problem with Mel Bridges is in Talent level it’s not about whether or not he’s good enough to

Build around the problem is is he doesn’t fit the Brooklyn Nets timeline at all whatsoever he’s on an incredible contract as well I mean he’s in year or two of a 4-year $90 million contract so I can understand why the Houston Rockets were willing to give up so much for muel

Bridges because we’re talking about a player that is making less than Jaylen Brunson is on a year-to-year basis that’s worth giving up Jaylen green and multiple first round picks and the worst part of all is looking at how this aged in our last video on the Houston Rockets

We discussed how alaran shenon injury essentially Unleashed Jaylen green the Mana has been averaging nearly 30 points per game since shenon went down the Houston Rockets are on a 10-game winning streak since shenon went down now the Rockets have plenty of assets to give up including Brooklyn’s own draft picks

That they would have essentially traded back to them for Mikel Bridges but it seems like they didn’t even need to do that after all Mel Bridges brings incredible two-way versatility and he could really fit on each and every NBA team out there and that could go a long

Way for the Houston Rockets in the playoffs but Rockets are currently a playin team meanwhile the Brooklyn Nets had an opportunity to get seven first round picks and a potential franchise Cornerstone to build around that clearly seemed more than capable of being a franchise Cornerstone in the meantime

And they turned it down now there is a question of whether or not shenon and Jaylen green will be able to make it work moving forward and that’s a different topic for a different day but I can say at least at this point in time the Brooklyn Nets are going out sad they

Have no direction at all and as you saw from the Pascal SE yakum trade earlier this year and the OG on anobi trade from earlier this year if you wait too long to trade your assets you’re going to be able to trade them for pennies on the

Dollar you probably still would be able to trade Mel Bridges for like three first round picks next year and maybe the reason they didn’t trade him is because they didn’t value any players in this year’s NBA draft but at the same time man you’re pretty much guaranteeing

That your team stays stuck in purgatory and you’re not trading any of your players for assets and the only Theory I have as to why they’re doing this is because Shawn Marx doesn’t want to play the long game because Shawn Marx knows that his job is in Jeopardy when Shawn

Marx was originally hired as the general manager for the Brooklyn Nets in 2016 he had a job that was very difficult to do you had to figure out how to rebuild a team without any assets at all but it seems like after a good first 3 years

Each and every single year has been an absolute catastrophe for Shawn Marx whether it’s taking the opposing stand of Kyrie Irving when Kyrie Irving didn’t want to get vaccinated whether it was constantly changing the culture from we’re trying to rebuild our young talent in D’Angelo Russell and Spencer dwy to

Selling the farm and bringing in I Irving and Kevin Durant to trading your entire future for James Harden only to move on from him a little bit over a year later hiring Steve Nash firing Steve Nash elevating Jack Von but firing Jack vongh recently saying Ben Simmons

Is your future when he clearly is not and now overvaluing your assets to the point where you’d be lucky to even get half of the return that was originally promised to you if you sold on them in time the only Theory I have is Shawn Marx is about to get fired really soon

So he doesn’t really want to play the long game because if he did pretty much be setting up his successor for greatness let me know in the comment section down below what you guys think about all this especially if you’re a Nets fan I just felt like this recent

Interview from Shams would just piss me off so much if I was a Nets fan and aside from that I’m your boy Mike and I’m dropping our mic until our next upload
