And I could be interested in picking my nose.

Anyone and everyone who is projected to be in the lottery should be scouting Bailey and Harper. Or else you aren’t doing your job as a GM.

Ya don’t say…?
Not sure how the Nets would make this work. It doesn’t sound possible to simultaneously tank for a high pick and also go all-in for a superstar.
Let’s just tank. I’m fine with that.
Giannis. Is. Not. Coming. To. The. Nets.
Just imagining Giannis and Ben on the same court has me feeling sick 🤮
Don’t want Giannis. He’s a top 3 player but there are so many cons with this move.
He’ll cost a lot of assets. I can’t see the Bucks not demanding the 2025 first this year plus Cam/Clax.
His play-style might not age well. His game is driven by his athleticism at his height. Plus he’s had injuries these past couple of seasons. Speaking of his play-style, we’d need to rebuild the entire team around him. Meaning we need stretch 5s like the Bucks have, which are hard to find.
He’s lowkey a coach killer. If he disagrees with Jordi, he’ll want him fired.
I much rather try to use the next 2 drafts to find 1 or 2 stars and then use FA/trade market to find complementary pieces. With Giannis, we’re basically a worse Bucks, who aren’t even good enough to beat the Celtics.
Why are we doing this? It’s not happening man
I think we should be targeting Liliard instead.
Maybe I am in the minority here but I would for sure entertain Giannis discussions with the following constraints, It involves Ben heading out for salary matching and we keep our top 2025 pick.
They can have whatever players/picks to make it work.
This isn’t over the hill KG and Pierce.
I’ll continue my stance that if the Giannis wants come to the Nets, he should wait till after the draft so the Nets get their young star player(s) and trade future picks.
I really don’t want Giannis on this team for a number of practical reasons, but all those aside I dislike him as a player and would hate seeing him in a Nets jersey.
He’s a dirty player who gets by on the refs turning a blind eye to his elbows and undercuts. If he was called with the same whistle as everyone else he’d foul out 80% of games. Makes me gag thinking of having to see that on this team as the #1 option. Harden was always right about him.
Bucks only trade Giannis if the package includes Doc Rivers
Clearly this is an unpopular opinion but if the price is right we should absolutely go for it, with the caveat being this is AFTER the season so we can tank and get a good pick this year. It would make salary matching more difficult but if we can put Giannis with a top 5 pick and other role players it would definitely be a fun team. But we need to be careful about how many picks he is worth. I have a feeling other teams would outbid us
Fuck giannis please don’t do that
No to Giannis considering the haul we have to give up. He legit will be a taller Westbrook in 3-5 years and we won’t win a chip with just him in that time frame. Trade whatever you can for picks in the next 3 drafts and be patient
Ah man here we go again trading for 30 yr old stars smh while depleting our assets
Get everyone! Get Caitlin Clark
The problem with Giannis, and I like the dude a lot, but the team has committed long term to Clax. I guess he’s not irreplaceable but you couldn’t play him together with Giannis.
I don’t think we are there yet to go star-chasing, we need a solid core that could challenge Boston when we get a star, and we’re not there yet. We should 100% try to maximize our picks in this, and next year’s draft, its the only path that makes sense for us.
This is after Giannis signed a max contract too. This will mess up our timetable and cap. I’d much rather pass, knowing he won’t bring the Nets a ring anyway.
As long as the Nets own 2025 and 2026 pick is not traded
Fuck no
We not gonna restart the Bucks Future just like We did the Celtics and they won a ring with our picks l😡😡😡
