    Slim Softie at it again.
    Man, that dude is really unlikeable.
    Let’s hope Rob has something else up his sleeve.

    Don't do it Rob. Crowder is a dirty POS. I imagine the Nets will be flipping a lot of their expiring vets tomorrow

    Well Brooklyn owns the Sun's draft future for 6-7 years. All for a 34-year-old-injury-prone player to match with their 37-year-old injury prone player. Ouch. So dangerous, I mean, KD could be done and out in 2 years or less. CP3 will be 40 after his 2 more seasons. Gonna be a good team until then though if you can keep KD and CP3 on the court. So much for BRK's plans to remain in the race though, should have taken our 2 FRPs now seems to me.

    What problems? It's going to be DLO because Hambone's still going to start Schroder or BevMo at the 1.

    Nets screwed everyone, just like Minnesota did in the off-season

    Well I like everyone in the NBA's highlight reels lol, but yeah hearing good things on the kid, I haven't watched many Mini games tbh. I think we have a core @ PF now with Vanderbilt, Rui, (AD at times) and Gabriel with some of them able to switch on defense on the larger (near PF-sized) wings in the league. We started off this season hurting at this spot and now we are really deep. Still not deep at 3 beyond LBJ though, just Brown. But maybe our depth at the 4 and switchability onto large 3s makes up for it.

    Seems like we have to get GTJ now- that’s IF our FO thinks this team can still make the play in. Even if they don’t, this kid is worth a First and fodder.

    I think GTJ is it as for what's left (for us) unless DET is interested in our '29 for Bojan + Beverly + Walker. Not a bad deal for Detroit.

    I think multiple guys are still there for the taking. I keep seeing Josh Richardson brought up, Royce O’Neale now that the Nets are selling, Burks, Trent Jr. Some others are probably out of our price range like OG, but I’d sure be asking and offering that pick. As much as I vented about the KD trade, it did cost them depth, and Chris Paul always gets hurt, I’m still excited about our new additions and think we can make noise if we get to the play-in, if AD can get his head right and if we make one more move to save Ham from 3 tiny guard lineups. If he’s going to do that at least get rid of almost all the small guards and give him no choice but to have only 1 guy to play under 6’4.

    Our focus, or Rob's, should be to get rid of Pat Bev and use the FRP for a 3, that's is where our need is. A back up center would be ok but the fact is, we need 3s. Preferably 3&D 3s. We are stacked at PF and guards.

    Agreed, and it’s likely a back up big will show up on the buyout market as well, a 3 is preferable for our roster after looking it over.

    That's why I say it's TGJ or Bojan they should be Rob's focus.

    I haven't heard any traction on those though so it worries me. Could be last-minute hold outs for best offers though.
