The WORST Situation in the Entire NBA... 

not the same tbh. They got KD + kyrie + harden in their primes. Vs they got KG and paul on their declines. Either way they didn't get a chip out of it but for very different reasons...

Lmao facts.

@@mambaASIreally only kyrie is in his prime. kd and harden are both good but no longer in their primes

@@_angeflowHarden won an MVP 2 years before they traded for him

Uh, the KG trade? What decade do you think this is?

Gawdamn 😂

The nets did this before if they didn't learn from the last time they ruined their future overpaying for old stars then it's their fault

As a Thunder fan I’m doing the same for your rockets but you fools keep winning games 😂

So true, they are in middle land. 🙏🏼

I swear 😂

Josh Hart said it best, referring to Mikal Bridges seeing how Hart and Brunson are doing in NY: “It’s like that Spongebob meme when Squidward is looking out the window and he sees Spongebob and Patrick having fun. Mikal is Squidward.”

I just think that Makil is the 3rd option on a championship team ngl

same man smae

Leaving New Jersey was a huge mistake. Honestly, the Nets should be sold and moved at this point, they will never succeed and grow a real fanbase in NYC. Montreal, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, back to Jersey, all better than the least popular team in NY

And people can squat on and take over people's property there too

Having Luka Doncic as a teammate is hardly being screwed over tbh

they sent him to the best situation that kyrie wanted lmao kyrie wanted to get paid and mavs were the only team willing to take a risk and pay him no other teams were interested in that mess after the nets fiasco

@@mambaASI Lies! 6 teams contacted the Nets regarding Kyrie. Clippers, Lakers, Mavericks, Heat, and the Suns.

I know this comment is irrelevant but I really want kyrie to the Pelicans with zion and Ingram they would go crazy

Could you blame them? Kyrie halfstepped every step of the way. The only thing that maybe mildly forgivable is his stance on the shot, and even then that's contentious.

It’s crazy if ben a had a low money contract he’d actually play harder

He sucks..

Please don’t that would kill me

I feel like the repercussions would be the NBA stepping in after the fact to shadow run the organization and put measures in place to make sure teams don't make franchise killing trades (because thats exactly what it would be). The NBA has shown it would 100% intervene if teams are making choices not to their benefit (Such as the NBA blocking the CP3 to Lakers trade).

Imagine they then have their own first overall pick then it turns out to be an alltime bust

@@ElSombraRegio7the nba owned cp3’s team not the same

@@alexescutia4805 Don't understand why you say it was different because it literally started the same. As early as 2010, the then Hornets owners were being told by the NBA that they were inefficiently running their franchise and that they would need to start reporting to the league on decision maing processes. This is after NOLA almost traded Tyson Chandler to OKC for marbles, and signing Mo Pete to a horrible contract. They were very ineffictive when it came to dealing and were giving away assets in return for nothing. It made even less sense because they had arguabbly the best point guard in the league and were a perrineal playoff team at that point. Thel NBA literally had to assume control of the Hornets because management was being so unbelievably incompetent with dealings and contracts. When it became clear that Ownership wanted out and were looking to sale, essentially leaningninto making incompetent move onto another incompetent move. The NBA decided to expidite the sale, acquire the team and had to step-in to temporarily hold ownership until a new buyer was found. It took another year after that to completely relieve all of management in NOLA. They were so incompetent that they were going to give the Lakers their CP3 for potentially a terrible tandem of picks and Brown. It was going to be such an unfair trade. Thus The NBA literally having to tell Management "NO" and then forcing them to do the better Clippers deal. Again, IF a franchise continues to show clear signs of incompetency and can find itself working into a position that is dentrimental for its wellness. The NBA will 100% step-in. If a Franchise self-destructs and becomes so terribly runned that fans are not boight into the product. The NBA makes no money. Again, there are serious consequences

I'm pretty sure most of that was smoke from the nets

@@CJScottt It wasnt. The rockets reporters confirmed that it was a role player the 24 pick, 25 swap and 26 pick back or jalen green plus 24 and 25 for mikal bridges. The nets also were offered 21sts for dfs last yr by the pacers, 4 1sts for bridges by the grizzlies with the 23,25,27 being unprotected and 29 top 5 protected, and cam johnson some west team offered a 1st. The nets are under ht impression that they think a star is going to shake loose. Their GM is by far the worst GM in recent history. He started off well but he's pretty incompetent

Sean Marks deserves to be FIRED!

Lakers should be the ones to bail out the nets by getting bridges for draft capital

What's funny is he's probably not even the worst GM the Nets have ever had lol. What Billy King did to that team with the Celtics trade was way worse.

Harden is a franchise killer for sure. Clippers will implode after they get bounced early in the playoffs this year.

Don't let Kyrie Irving make your decisions. They are literally a lost franchise.

@@marksimmelkjaer7841lmaoo kyrieee???? Pleaseeee

Remember that time harden was in the MVP convo on the nets before being injured, all because kd and Kyrie couldn't stay on the court. I'm pretty sure kd and Kyrie aren't saints

When harden was there they made it to the ecsf but in 2022 they got bounced first round. Think that says enough.

I don't think they offered Jalen, but they offered all the Nets picks so they could have gone into a rebuild but refused cause they think they will get a superstar to add to Mikel and become a contender again

Why tf would the rockets even want these win-now type pieces. Mikal is young yes, but he's ready to be that third player on a championship team right now. The rockets are no where near a championship level team.

The Rockets owner decided that he doesn't care about a title. He wants to get to the playoffs. He was sick of losing for 5 years and getting nothing from it so now they are at "Phase 2" where they believe they have to get better every year, without drafting a bunch of high level talent. Trading for Mikel gets them what they want@@MrE_

@@blablablaa14 more like they still think mikal is a future superstar but they are delusional af

The nets should have taken 😫

You're not a fan

You guys exist??

@@duranmendez6360 you ant a fan

@@dewel2630 yes

Didn't know nets fans existed either. Why root for the nets in New York when you have the big market Knicks doing well.

And Bane too 🔥

Rich people don't care. This is barely only 10% of all their money 😂

Cade and durand are elite young talents . Ivey and sasser will be decent pieces too

@@kevvideos634 Out of Cade, Ivey, Ausar, and Duren, none of them can shoot except for Cade, and all of them are terrible defenders except for Ausar. Trust me, if they were as good as people thought they would be, even with the coach being trash, even with the trash supporting cast, they would’ve won more than 12 games, and wouldn’t have lost 28 in a row. Either one or two of them are probably gonna be gone either in the off season or by next year’s trade deadline.

@@kevvideos634 And they’ve had this bad of a season, in year 4 of a rebuild, with the best thing they’re gonna get being a top pick in a draft class that’s projected to be the worst since 2013. They’re in the worst situation in the nba.

at least they have their picks, we don't.

@@dickson6519That’s true, but at least they can get good pick return in Mikal and Claxton. And hell, maybe even a little for Cam Johnson, even though I know his contract is lofty. I don’t know what pistons could get for Jaden Ivey at this point. And Duren could probably get them a first, but that’s pretty much it. Also Brooklyn is more of a free agent destination than Detroit. You would never see a KD and Kyrie type of team up in Detroit lol. People notice the losing, but they don’t notice how cooked the outlook of their team actually is, and how they have one of the worst owners in American sports.

jalen is still ass. Sengun is the future of that franchise. Hopefully he recovers 100% from that brutal injury

😐​@@mambaASI

While I wasn't thrilled that Harden ran himself out of town, I felt that trade was the best they could hope for because I also figured a tandem of three of the league's whiniest divas was not going to be sustainable

think what you want of Jalen but he has a better year than Mikal and has a higher ceiling than Mikal.I'm glad the Nets had a brain fart at the trade deadline @@mambaASI

Yall have nothing to offer! Give us booker or KD back

@@DarkKnight-px7rg That would be perfect. Bye-bye KD

As a nets fan, y’all were always going to win that trade. I HATED that trade so much. I said so many times we didn’t need harden. After going through the trade for fossil kg and pierce I felt immediately we would go through the same story once again and here we are. We had dinwiddie, levert, Harris, clax, Allen, all young. With our picks back for the future and we traded our picks once again. This team is an embarrassment to the league. Day by day the league continues to notice more and more how horribly this franchise is run and I’m glad. People want to say “ oh players want to play in ny so they would come to Brooklyn if they needed to just to play in ny”. DUDE DO YOU UNDERSTAND WE FUMBLED 3 NO DOUBT 😅HALL OF FAME PLAYERS WHO CAN AVERAGE 27+ in their prime. WHAT TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA HAS EVER DONE IT THIS BAD? WHAT STAR IS GOING TO WANT TO PLAY FOR US??? Props to y’all rockets cause I was honestly waiting for y’all to surge. And now y’all got udoka as the head coach. Your future is looking good. I didn’t like the dillon and vanfleet signing y’all did. Y’all got sengun and smith jr for yall future frontcourt and that is lovely. If Jalen green can continue to surge and become a star, that’s great. Idk if cam whitmore is going to be that small forward hall need to have y’all full future young lineup but I can see it being (Amen Thompson, Jalen green, cam whitmore, Jabari smith and Alperen Sengun). Great balance of offense and defense.

@@jethawk1172 The saddest thing is KD, Kyrie, Spencer Dinwiddie, Harden, and Cam Thomas don't have one good thing to say about us as a organization. SMH!

I would like to point out that KD and the Nets had always been an inevitable paring. KD took so much of the riding the Warriors coattails criticism to heart that he chose the Nets over the Knicks. He wanted to be the man. And the Nets, being the irrelevant little brother in the NY media, welcomed KD and Kyrie with open arms. They needed KD so much that they let KD and Kyrie do whatever they wanted, which made the Harden deal inevitable.@@jethawk1172 But anyway, we used our Nets pick to get Sengun, Tari and Whitmore. Thanks!

Hindsight is always 20/20, every gm in the league makes that trade if presented to them

@@EduardoOliveira-zx9jusome of that probably speaks about the Nets as an organization but are we going to act like KD, Kyrie and Harden didn't play a part in that dysfunction?

Yeah. Then Durant would have been willing to stay.

It's time for Joe Tsai to admit wrongdoing and miscalculations

Honestly, they should have kept DLO. He was the best thing to happen to NY

The big 3 really did you guys dirty. They demanded trades midseason & before that rarely showed up to play at all.

@@vulcanraven9701 some much bad decisions by management, bending over backwards for the players and the misfortune of injury.

@@el1tefire252 Joe Tsai is the common denominator......Charlotte kept Miles Bridges after brutally beating his ex-wife. Thunder kept Josh Giddey after being seen topless with a teenager. Joe Tsai traded Kyrie over a Tweet......SMFH!

KD was the only one that showed up consistently yet the media treats him as the worst culrpit. Kyrie being healthy but taking off so much time to rebel against science was what really did them in. It's one thing if you're hurt, things happen, but that? There were plenty other guys who were iffy about the vaccination stuff but they still had to show up to work. @@vulcanraven9701

I laugh at everything bad that happens to the nets.. but i do feel sorry for mikal. He deserves better. Mainly being with his friends across the river.

He didnt actually fall off though did he. Hes technically averaging a career high for a full season. He just went crazy for the last 25 games last season for a bad team after the trade and everyone projected him to become that. But his stats are the same really.

He's the same player he's been the last few years, but he's been promoted above his level of competence. When you promote a sixth man or 3rd option to primary scorer, some of them fall apart once they get the defensive attention.

@@jasonbenedetti5499Basically, the scouting reports were not out on Mikals game as a #1 option but now they are and he’s struggling.

@@jasonbenedetti5499 yeah. I think his first half of this season was better than his second half. When I say fall off I mean he’s been playing much below even his potential lately imho.

@@jadynhasstupid2275 this makes sense. I don’t get to watch the games as much as I would like but if he’s the number 1 teams are going to plan for him. Last year, he went crazy and it was a big surprise. Still, he’s been playing even much worse lately. Not sure what’s up with him.

Joe Tsai needs to be held accountable as well. "Cancerous" Kyrie is no longer on the roster

Sean Marks Screwed Sean Marks.

Not really tho not saying cam Thomas better but they almost the same type of player. Not identical but similar

They’re obviously trying to be mid while having lots of draft picks doesn’t even make sense if they’re not actively tanking and building around mikal fucking bridges???? Like seriously 🤣🤣

Why not commit to being bad get your own picks back and build a super core of young players like OKC, the Celtics, and the Warriors something that fits the true timeline? Every year prospects are getting better and you may end up with another Victor Webenyama type talent that can truly be the star u build around. The problem with the Nets front office is they are always trying to take shortcuts to greatness and buying into the wrong type of players and culture, they have a long history of that. Not only that their current front office has a bad reputation around the league, despite being an attractive city, that is not enough to lure star talent these days.

Only 5 first round picks from other teams and those teams will still be somewhat competitive in those years. PHI got Maxey and can get a many good return from Embiid if he wants out, PHX got Booker, Beals and KD which can get many return to keep them afloat, and Luka is worth whatever asking price if he wants out. Only realistic good pick Might be 2029 PHX pick and even that a toss up

@@ericleon9000 you had very bad examples "OKC, the Celtics, and the Warriors" because Boston and GSW never tanked to get the stars they have. The current toxic NBA fans think tanking is the way to go is just sad, yes, the team is having one bad year, but patience will turn things around for them.

@@AkagiRedSun Again, was Maxey a Top-5 pick? Was Booker? The Suns and Mavs right now would get the Nets a pick just outside the lottery, and it will be harder and harder for older teams to succeed...

What were they thinking? Sure KD was the star they wanted but KD would not stay if they offloaded Kyrie. KD was not complaining about Kyrie’s antics and was still willing to play as long as Kyrie is a teammate. They were still playing well together. Ben Simmons? WTF? That’s the guy they should have offloaded instead of Kyrie

@@walkrwalkr3622to be fair, as a Nets fan, nobody ever wanted Ben. James was dead set in reuniting with Darryl in Philly, so far as to refuse a long term max contract from Brooklyn so he could leave for philly next season. Nets were forced to trade James and we’ve been stuck with Ben ever since.

@@walkrwalkr3622 Prior to KD's injury, the Nets were 18-2. KD got injured, Kyrie demanded 4 years for $200 million, Joe Tsai declined and offered a contract with stipulations. Kyrie then requested a trade feeling unwanted

@@walkrwalkr3622offloading Ben would require someone being dumb enough to put up with his contract first

Personally I didn't blame them for that. Dude was way too much of a PR headache every year to be worth the ceiling of a second round exit instead of the perennial title contention that pairing was supposed to promise.

weep

They don’t. I’m a Raptors fan. I’ve been watching tankathon like a hawk.

They don’t we own their pick this year via the Harden trade 😅

They took sga, drafted chet, williams, and have 16 picks. For paul george, westbrook, chris paul…. Melo…. Go figure

@@alfiey5783You contradicted yourself. OKC said yes to a trade to receive a young SGA and several picks. The Nets said no to a young Jalen Green and several picks. Sam Presti is one of the best GM’s in the NBA. Sean Marks is one of the worst. You’re NOT in similar situations at all. You don’t have the picks to get future Chet’s, JWill’s etc…. The Rockets now have that bright future thanks to the trade and the Nets decline. Expect the Rockets to make an OKC jump next season. They’re exactly one year behind OKC’s rebuild timeline.

@@patriotpatriot1111 what are you talking about? Reread the comment i made carefully before commenting. I said okc “was” in a similar situation. Meaning whatever you just said is what i agree to. Okc “was” in a similar situation but managed to turn it around whereas the nets ruined theirs

@@alfiey5783 I read it. Every team has gone through rebuilds. Name me one other team that has given away all their picks and had the opportunity to get them back and a young building block and declined while doing so - I’ll wait. lol. That’s what makes your scenario fundamentally different. Utah for example received Markkanan and several first round picks for Donovan Mitchell. Their future is bright. The Nets is the opposite of that.

@@patriotpatriot1111 sorry i dont disagree? What the nets are historically stupid? With their builds? Ummm yeah? But dont make it sound like its super special with your scenario of lauri and don mitchell, it happened with gobert, sorry you had to wait. Its not unique….? Teams do trade a bevy of picks to try to win and fail? You mean utah didnt get 4 first round picks 1 pick swap and walker kessler, vanderbilt, pat bev, bolmaro, malik? In addition you mean wizards future it bright with their trades? (Nets are not that special in that regard). Btw if you are going to be precise be precise. Its not “several 1st picks”. Its 3 first rd and 2 second pick (swaps) for don mitchell and lauri. Along with sexton, ochai. Pretty ridiculous to say that its several 1st round picks to skew whatever it is you are saying 😂

Brooklyn Bridges!

For who Bridges??? Nahhhh

Lakers are not trading D’lo. They’re more likely to trade Austin reaves JHS and picks for bridges.

@@jadynhasstupid2275 which ever one i dont care

take him. bridges sucks

@@vedantc6684 he won't suck on the Knicks... The same thing was said about Randle before he arrived.
