The 2013-14 Brooklyn Nets season ended with disappointing results. This team failed so hard. Brook got hurt, KG got old, Terry and Kirilenko were useless. Pierce didn't like being there. DWill and Joe couldn't carry the team. JKidd bailed after the season.

[@ikedatike2533]

J.kidd actually got traded for a future first round pick to the bucks making him and doc Rivers the only coaches to be traded. If I had two nickels for every time a coach got traded, I have two but it's weird that I have references for this

Ive seen this misinformation going around that Brooklyn traded 4 Suns picks to the Nets for 2 of their own picks back at the same time as the Mikal trade. The Rockets have control of Suns 2027 and 2029 first rounders. THATS IT.

[@sirstewartwallace3917]

An old school example would be the late 90's Houston Rockets. They tried to win with an aging Hakeem, Drexler, and Barkley, no bench, and Matt Maloney starting every game. They went from a perennial contender to middle-of-the-pack to outright mediocre in record time. Meanwhile, I don't think the Knicks get that championship with Thibs coaching. He's the Buck Showalter of basketball: often good in the regular season but dreadful in the playoffs.

[@sergiodarosa1034]

Thibs is a horrible coach

[@ceedott]

thibodeau literally caused the team to have their first winning season in like 10 years, and led them to the second round of the playoffs twice, and they only lost in the second round this year because of all the injuries. thibs is a great coach, idk what you guys are on about

[@sirstewartwallace3917]

@@ceedott His postseason track record is not good. He's only made the Conference Finals once and they lost in five games. Since then, his teams usually underperform or get bounced early.

My first reaction to the KAT trade was, “It honestly made no sense.” You have KAT who was the number two option on the Timberwolves behind Edwards. KAT has given everything to that franchise. Now you have him go to the Knicks where I think his play style will play to the team’s strength. On the Julius Randle side, I think his play style will severely hinder the T Wolves.

[@derrkadurr473]

I think the wolves are thinking about the long run. Randle and Gobert are free agents in 2026. I hope they dont screw this up

[@janoycresnova9156]

It was made purely for salary cap reasons. Randle is a severe downgrade.

[@guesswhonot1620]

The 2023 Suns-Nets trade is going to go down as one of the worst trades of all time. The Suns gave up FIVE first-round picks for an aging and injury-prone KD. And they've gotten absolutely nothing out of it.

[@akeemgriffith2959]

No. It's the Bradley Beal trade that completely depleted their team. They were the definition of top Heavy after that, giving away their defense and playmaking .

The Knicks this offseason have been smart and have made good moves so hopefully they can get far this upcoming season

[@bamidelakin-np2ub]

Knicks and Sac Kings missed the playoffs 7 and 16 straight times respectively and The worst trade in history caused the Nets to miss it only 3 TIMES around the same time period😂😂😂😂 Atp, how do you not laugh at how some fail to let this go....

[@elizabethgeorge168]

That's such a misnomer. Kings may have missed the playoffs but there were literally SEVERAL years where they had better records than then 6-8th seeds in the East. Were the Kings good then? No, but statistically they were better than half the league, they simply had the misfortune of playing in the West. There's been only 1 season where they were comparable to the Pistons (or older versions of the Magic) lol

[@brucelau2023]

Yeah that 2013-14 Brooklyn Nets team really fell hard 💯💯💯💯💯 That super team really just was astonishingly bad

[@elizabethgeorge168]

The PG13 trade also gave OKC Danilo Gallinari, who they flipped for a 2025 second rounder. Which could be interesting in the upcoming draft, especially since they still have other assests to move around.

[@X02Overdose]

[@FunNHonesty]

The Knicks have 3 years to win a ring. They are not there yet. They need a constantly healthy offensive rebounding big and at least 3 high level players off of the bench. They only have one in McBride, Robinson isn’t reliable so they need an offensive rebounding old school center to replace him, and another hopefully someone develops to be that 3rd guy.

[@ericpaulino6856]

[@mjalejo9375]

Hot take: Suns will make it to the WCF because of the Olympic experience Book and KD had. Book will play more off the ball and KD will be relied more on.

[@deadshot244]

I’m from the future, Giannis will be a Dallas Maverick

[@bulldozer51]

As a Nets fan, I had hope after that 2013 trade, it wasn't high hope, but hope nonetheless. When Kyrie and KD signed, I had hope, this time, high (although, I didn't want Kyrie joining us because I liked having D'Lo as our starting PG), and that let me down. The best I can hope for is that we get a decent lottery pick next draft, but knowing my luck, Brooklyn would probably trade it away for some past his prime player, or a rookie contract that ain't worth the paper it was written on

[@wazzup233]

Kawhi might retire early in the NBA very soon because of injuries which is similar ro Isiah Thomas of the Bad Boys Pistons. Yeah they both have similarities, sad. 😞

[@ewgrosslmao]

Being from Oklahoma and a Thunder fan there is this beautiful feeling I get from seeing a lazy superstar walk like that.

[@ulicesgarcia5096]

Man, those Clippers have not learned their lesson from fumbling not one but 2 perrenial championship contenders in the last 10 years. From the Lob City, to the PG-Kawhi eras, they let go on their least expected blossom of a franchise player, Shai Gilgeous Alexander. It's a shame for seeing the OKC Thunder blossom their picks as a result of the Clippers trade.

[@utubebroadcaster]

Charlotte are the antithesis of this, and the results show

[@llbuitre]

Kawhi and the Clippers thought they can do the what the 2019 Raptors title run. You cannot just load manage in the regular season then play all games in the playoffs. You need some team chemistry. The 2019 Raptors title run is actually an outlier.

[@nvm9040]

The Knicks this offseason have been smart and have made good moves so hopefully they can get far this upcoming season But that Bridges for KD trade was pretty good granted it hasn’t turned out the best for KD but Bridges had a good sint in Brooklyn which now he is in NY

A risk like that (especially in hindsight) is something that can't be replicated again in sports history.

For the Atlanta Hawks when they broke through in 2015, that was their first time since 1970 and it wasn’t until the 1970-71 season that the current Eastern and Western Conference formats were created.

They sucked after letting Jrue go. Especially when Middleton and Portis who are purely offensive players and only Brook to contribute to defense besides Giannis, they will never regain what they had when they won the chip. So stupid.
