The Brooklyn Nets Downfall Documentary

The Brooklyn Nets had a very promising team with a trio of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant & James Harden. They all excelled with the ball in their hands & complimented each other beautifully. Sean Marks, the general manager of the Nets, had assembled this super team after building a strong & exuberant culture full of promising young players all led by the tutelage of Kenny Atkinson.
But as soon as KD & Kyrie were signed to Brooklyn, clashing dynamics would soon show itself between the eccentric stars & the Nets brass. Joe Tsai & Kyrie Irving did not have a great relationship. It was said that Steve Nash was hired at the behest of the star players' request. Harden was traded to the Nets at the behest of the star players' request. But a combination of bad injury luck & drama-filled controversies would cloud the Nets super teams' hopes of winning a NBA title.
Soon after, the stars were traded to different teams. But the front office did a poor job of picking up the pieces of the mess they inherited. With a lackluster roster set to lose this year's lottery pick because of the Harden trade, the Brooklyn Nets' future is doomed to repeat itself like it did after the Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett & Jason Terry trade in 2013. No control of their destiny, with the hopes of repeating history all over again.

Kyrie was 80% of the reason of why the Nets fell apart, if he wasn't such a toxic person who got into controversy after controversy the team might have been ok.

[@Nhlanhla016]

Better start working on the 'pheonix suns downfall documentary' as well

[@thefrenchfryguy9959]

They were never good enough to even have a downfall 😅

[@bielito23]

just imagine you and your friend are the A+ grade kids in class and one day you simply walk in and say "we don't need a teacher, we already know how to calculate ourselves, and we can all be our own teachers" it CAN end up working, but there's just no fucking chance lol

[@justt1984]

Decent analogy

[@Bsfnelz20]

😂😂😂 they use KZbin AS THEIR SOURCE FOR RESEARCH ADMITTEDLY 😂😂😂 SO THEY WILL BELIEVE WHAT EVER SOUNDS GOOD TO THEM OR WHAT EVER FITS THE NARRATIVE THEY WERE PUSHING 😂😂 CLOWNS 🤡

[@AXEJAYB]

This isn't what happened at all. Harden freak injury, and Kyrie breaking his ankle getting his landing space taken by Giannis. Either of these don't happen and they win that series and likely the championship. It's not like the formula's they used to play basketball didn't result in won games.

[@Bliu2th]

KD and Kyrie destroyed what was the Kenny Atkinson run on the Nets. Literally traded away all the pieces for nothing at the end of the day

[@vulcanraven9701]

KD Kyrie and Harden are pretending like they never destroyed that franchise

[@RandomBurner]

[@andrewvega1308]

[@slackerofhell]

I'll say it until the end of time. Atkinson shouldn't have been fired, and they should have never traded away Jarrett Allen.

[@polandsgarden]

[@slackerofhell]

@@polandsgarden whoops. Damn typos.

[@Bsfnelz20]

Facts only did it to please Kevin Durant

[@vulcanraven9701]

Losing Jarett Allen was devastating for the team. They lost their defensive presence and depth in that trade. Harden then left them dry with no draft picks and the team collapsed

[@slackerofhell]

@vulcanraven9701 my thoughts exactly. JA is one of the best paint protectors in the league right now. They definitely dropped the ball when they chose satisfying KD and Kyrie over the teams needs.

[@manzac112]

The Brooklyn Nets are the exact representation of what happens when you give up too much to win now. And, the fact that they did it twice and the same results are happening shows to me that they were better off in New Jersey anyway or they should have at least kept most of the 2018-19 roster. This entire franchise now feels so plastic and I don't think the franchise is going to recover from this for a long while.

[@CoachK_]

the young squad they managed to scrape together is very very hopeful. like honestly league wide every team looks like they’ll be in good shape. even the Pistons, they just got off to a bad start and the attention shifted to them so everyone played harder against them to not be the ones to lose. i just feel like the future is bright for NBA basketball, opinions are subjective tho.

[@cranekraken24]

The Celtics are a juggernaut largely due to the Nets poor decision making.

[@joeyskywalker1322]

@@CoachK_I like Cam Thomas but let’s be real Mikal Bridges isn’t a number 1 option Simmons is out the league once his contract expires and the Nets have no draft picks at all for the next couple years other teams do

@@joeyskywalker1322 you’re being too political rn. just enjoy the game bro.

[@Romanus-]

@@cranekraken24yep. Imagine if the Nets never made that trade. Idk why teams still don’t get it. Selling your entire future to throw a few stars together rarely works. You need chemistry and most importantly, consistency. When things get tough in the playoffs if you don’t have a group that trusts each other and is playing for each other, things will break down. It’s happened so many times now you’d think executives would finally get it.

[@dc81503]

As a Nets fan it’s honestly heartbreaking how we fumbled so badly. When you have three stars like Harden KD and Kyrie you do everything you can to keep them but instead they let their egos get the better of them

[@cranekraken24]

Just imagine, you guys could have had Tatum and Brown. Although, I doubt Nets management would have been as slick as Danny Ainge when it comes to the draft. Danny did miss on one of the Brooklyn picks but I suspect Brooklyn management would have missed on all of them.

[@joekotulak7617]

The key word you said though was could. Could is not would. Fans treat it like that though. Every gm drafts good talent, but that doesn’t mean every gm can and will draft legendary talent whether picking high or low. Some organizations have a knack for history repeating itself when it comes to drafting top scoring talent. While some luck is involved, it’s also about how an organization infrastructure is built from the depth of developmental team to how badly the organization as a whole will go to any length to make certain it happens The problem is the Nets are not willing to sell their kidney to do what it takes to be a 50+ win team. That’s why the Nets don’t have the capability to develop guys to develop into elite status that can simply take over a game completely. They have to buy their players and rely exclusively on talent to win over 50 games. Now you will say “most teams are like that” which to me is a very weak argument because almost every team in the league has won over 50 games more than the Nets. That’s a reflection of much more than simply just a bad gm or owner. When it comes to player development, the organization is never going to do whatever it takes to be better than a 45-49 win team and history mostly proves it outside of 1 season.

[@RyukinJakka]

The team gave those 3 way too much pull and leniency.
