When One Trade Ruins an NBA Franchise

The Brooklyn Nets are in the worst position of any NBA franchise. They aren’t competitive and don’t control their future picks the next 4 years. They even got a lifeline back to relevance but somehow turned it down! This is a look at how one trade can ruin and NBA franchise.

I’m glad Jalen is balling, but it’s such a small sample size. The big screw up by the Nets is not getting their draft capital back. Unless they get lucky in free agency, this team has no future.

[@Joefdgtr]

I find the dynamics quite interesting. If Nets gave up Mikael to any team, theyre pretty much doomed to tank/get worse and Houston are happy cause those draft picks are prized. Houston have all the leverage with the Nets, so im gonna guess they played hardball with that "multiple first round picks" / overvalue Jalen green

[@ChidOki]

Hate to be the “well, technically…” person but KD did not pick the Nets in free agency. It was a coordinated sign and trade, no?

[@semi6544]

It was possible because the Jalen Green the Rockets offered was a bum that was expected to ask for a max rookie deal in the offseason. The Jalen Green trade looks good now because he had a great month. Look at Green's career. Did he look like a guy who should get a max rookie extension? Why would the Nets want to be in charge of that situation? Even the Rockets still don't want to make that decision. Should they pay him based on one good month after 3 terrible years? I would still want to see Jalen prove it for another year.

[@Shmuk-bn7ef]

Concern for how a guy going into his 4th year feels about his contracts is a big part of the problem. That's what RFA is for. Even Derrick Rose who had proven a lot, he got that early extension and the big 1st injury happened during his 4th season. The Bulls cost themselves half a decade and $125m iirc by giving a f about a guy on rooky scale's feelings. My Dubs would never have gotten Durant if we paid H Barnes early. Dubs ownership made literally billions extra by making the franchise iconic in sports because of the wise choice to not give Barnes what he wanted at a time when they didn't have to.

[@semi6544]

@@Shmuk-bn7ef -- Yeah, but stars should never reach restricted free agency unless the team has a really specific plan. The Sixers asked Maxey to wait a year so they could have extra free agency money for this specific off season. Restricted free agency is specifically for players like Jalen Green. Sometimes you don't know if you are evaluating your player properly and you see his value to the rest of the league and match the offer. Jalen Green has 1 good month in 3 years. I'd be willing to let him reach restricted free agency. If you as the Rockets really don't like the price you can still do a sign and trade to get something back.

[@Frostburn2716]

Bro prerecorded this video before the Mavs humiliated the Rockets.

Bill Simmons was highly impressed by Alperen Şengün's game which reminded him of Nikola Jokić. Simmons on his podcast called Şengün "Discount Joker". Other monikers thrown around for Şengün were "Walmart Joker", "PennySaver Nikola", "RC (Nik)Cola", and "Dollar Tree Tim (Duncan)".

As a Raptors fan, I am pissed that the reason the Celtics are doing so well is because of the other Atlantic division rivals, Nets with the Paul and Kevin trade, the Sixers trading for a bust and the Celtics getting Tatum, and the Knicks not being able to keep KP happy.

[@Shmuk-bn7ef]

I think the trade of KP to Dallas was more about the picks, dumping THJ salary, and getting hold of a then- unruined DSJ (who the Knicks would then happen to ruin as they did all their perimeter players during that time) for low. Basically at the time it was like getting 4 1sts for an injured KP

[@Shmuk-bn7ef]

Normally I would be rooting hard for Raptors to keep yall pik this year but this draft suuuuux to the point that it would be better to just get the conveyance over with.
