Nets blow past Grizzlies: Is Dennis Schröder too good for the tank?

1. Young players need some vets to learn from. Having a good pg is crucial for the development. You don’t wanna build a losing culture and stunt development

2. Stop the Hate on Ben.

   The negativity directed at Ben is unreal. He has only played four games! You both want Ben to average a certain number of points and assists right out of the gate, but how can you call yourselves Nets fans when you’re already labeling this a tank season? If I follow the metrics you both want for the season, then Ben shouldn't be expected to perform at an All-Star level.

   The Nets are building a culture in Brooklyn, and it’s amazing to see the team functioning cohesively again. There are no superstars dominating; everyone is contributing within the team system. Please stop calling it a tank season.

3. This was never a “tank” team folks smh they are not bad enough. Once they kept cam Johnson and Finney smith and Dennis I knew it wouldn’t be a tank team. Cooper will not be in Brooklyn lol unless his stock drops

4. I would move DFS just to give all those minutes to Ziaire an Clowney

5. If the Bridges trade happened before the Jacque Vaughn canning, should the Nets have just kept Jacque Vaughn? Jacque Vaughn is perfect coach for tanking.

6. I bet you Nets will compete against top notch team and magically lose energy playing against the bottom teams?

7. simmons was so bad and frustrating to watch. He does not want to be there. He doesnt run the fast break anymore, he doesnt attack the basket, he fouls too much, he cant shoot….he might be totally out of the league next year because his ego and fancy clothes will not let him sign on a vet min salary

8. Would be fun to trade cam J and dfs to keep the tank going. Just focus on letting schroder develop our other players and run Jordi's offesne. can't lose him or we go to a 5 win team immediately

9. With the current roster and coach, the Nets won’t finish in the bottom 3…maybe not in the bottom 5.

10. Can't say enough about the fleece job Marks did getting Schroder for Dinwiddie…what a steal

11. This team don’t wants to tank.. they want to compete.. we should support them for their efforts.

12. Give Dennis a new contract 🎉

13. What happens if this team is too good to tank? This could be the basketball version of Mel Brooks “The Producers” where they tried to create a flop that became a huge hit.

14. I saw this coming a mile away! I didn't underestimate Schroeder or anyone else except Simmons like everybody else did. CT no brainer.

15. Just like real life:

    Hard work + Developing Skills + Building Positive Culture > Gambling in the Lottery

16. Many people saying he should/will get traded tbh I think he will stay he said it multiple times that he wants to stay here. Dennis is perfect for the system brings this team together and the players like him and he also seems to have a good relationship with Jordi. Also with the new movie about him it all indicates for me that he will stay here long term.

17. We just need to make it into the lottery. Atlanta won the lottery last year and they werent even close to the worst team. I would be happy with a top 3 pick. if we can't get Flagg, I'm perfectly fine with Harper or Bailey

18. Stop trying to tank.nba players dont tank or try to lose. Thats a losing mindset and culture.

19. We are not for a the tank whatever we get we get but we are going to compete around here….. Nets world 🌎😤💯🖤🤍💪🏾

20. Why tank when the Knicks can tank FOR us?

21. We have the knicks pick as well. Tanking isn't all that necessary when you consider that

22. Nice to see the guys win but can't see Dennis keeping up this high standard for long periods so the tank is still real. And by the way, nice to see Doug multitasking and sitting on the crapper whilst doing the podcast…that's where he sounded like he was anyway 😂😂

23. Honestly couldn’t be more pleased with how this team has played through 5 games this season. Our culture is changing, players developing and we have a system (which personally I will like will only improve from here). Some of the players I been enjoying who’re new Zaire Williams & Jaylen Wilson. Shout out to Milton as well. A guard who can run some PG for us if needed. Im enjoying this one game at a time win or lose. Lets enjoy this season and look towards the 2025 draft in mind. Much love guys

24. Nets should Extend Simmons to a max and build around this core

25. I would trade Schroder and then re-sign him in the offseason

26. If you think this is the best Schroder in his career, you've missed the Germany Schroder .

27. Man the vets are good ,we gotta trade early before it's to late ,they not a playoff team,37 39 wins 🤔 no top 2 pick 🤨

28. Why would they tank when they do not own their draft pick?

29. Dennis is god but Cam Thomas is number one brooklyn neds one player the position centar go nets

30. Both Doug's Zaire Williams tweet psychosis and Adam's Ben Simmons fatigue are justified.

31. This is what having an actual good coach that does gameplans and good rotations does. We may have a good gem in Jordi

32. Maybe I sound naive, but is tanking really a thing? It was my understanding that it’s ILLEGAL and in fact the league has flattened the lottery odds so that the 3 worst teams have a better chance of winning top pick. Idk, not a fan of “tanking” no matter what

33. F the tank. Lets go all in on Giannis

34. I actually feel like in this system bridges would had been all star form

35. You can be good playing against the grizzlies
