Welcome 8th Pick from Brooklyn

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Meaningless poll, but lets play....where will the pick end up after the lottery?

  • Total voters
    246
  • Poll closed .
Remember when we dicked around and let the Nets beat us early in the season?

Right now 1 game separates 6, 7 and 8.

That game is going to kill us.

Nah. They'll probably win their last two, meaning they'll be at least two games up on 6th.

The Cavs loss early in the year could end up being the difference between 8 and 9, but at that point, shit doesn't matter

Hindsight and all, but frankly we should have seen this coming.

Teams were gonna tank hard with draft lottery reformed and some teams not having their pick next year.

There were posters that tried to talk some sense into those that argued the tanking teams were irrelevant. They were shouted down.

I am not talking about us posters.

Talking about our management. They have a much better knowledge and feel of the teams who are tanking than we do. The entire thing, starting from trading Kyrie till now has been shambles.

All I wanted was top 6 or 7 which was in the works literally until tonight...now it's going to be 8th or 9th. SMH. Those 2-3 spots could prove costly ....whether we use the pick or trade it.

BTW, even if we trade it, the trade can't be consummated until August like the Wiggins trade unless we acquire another first round pick and are allowed to trade the Nets pick. So it's gonna be a long summer...

I think the trade can happen, but salary wouldn’t be counted for the rookie.
 
In the end, it wasn't that the Nets were good (as they were playing to start the year) instead they just happened to be the only team with no incentive to tank, amongst those determined to gain the most odds.

That's disgusting.

Fuck the talentless Nets and their tryhard spamming threes bullshit.

The ridiculous thing is that they're taking a ton of 3's *and* making them at a high percentage. Even the Rockets don't do that.

The Kyrie trade was an epic fuck up, epic. Hopefully we can still get something useful out of a lottery pick in this deep draft though.
 
Of course I want the pick to be as high as possible, but the pick being anywhere in the top 10 is fine regardless I think. There will be good players that fall. There will be a great talent in the spot regardless, it's just a matter of identifying the right player. And sometimes top prospects flop and under the radar players look amazing. You just never know. So I don't know if a few spots makes much of a difference. Obviously a top 3 pick is a big gap between 8-10 picks, but my point is that a great player should fall regardless. Donovan Mitchell was drafted 13th. Giannis and Kawhi were drafted 15th. It happens about every draft. We just need to draft well, period. Assuming we don't trade the pick.
 
Nets also won by 28 points. So they could made a lot less 3s and won.

It's gonna be 9th, and that sucks a lot. Its low enough that you start to wonder if you can actually get any star with it.

Walker, on the last year of his deal probably.

But I don't know if its enough for Beal.
 
I'm starting to like Mitchell Robinson as a sleeper pick in the 8-10 range. Not too many true 7 footers with his handles, defensive awareness and soft shooting touch. Now, he's likely a knucklehead but maybe he's smartened up the past year or so.
