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.
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.
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.
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
@@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. And he might be the most hated coach in the history of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's basketball Buck Showalter.
@@ceedott hes good in the regular not in the playoffs. Hes horrible at managing players and players minutes and conditioning. He isnt the greatest at making adjustments in the playoffs eithed

@@Titaniam4they lost to the Timberwolves with KCP though so they would've went over the second apron while having an unsure roster either way it's not the best situation
@@M3RCSlol what a load of shite you honestly believe them losing one series ina best of 7 means they should just lose a key player because “the situation is unsure”
The Nets' current situation isn't so bad. Draft Assets: They have 15 first-round picks and 11 second-round picks between 2025 and 2031 (13 firsts are unprotected), plus unprotected first-round swaps with the Suns and the Knicks. In next year's draft (considered pretty good), they have four first-rounders and two second-rounders. Salary Cap Situation: - Brooklyn is under the first Apron. - For the second year in a row the Nets will be operating under the luxury tax (don't have to worry about repeater tax/penalties for a while). - Next off-season the Nets will have more salary cap room than any other team. This can be used for free agents, or beneficial trades with teams in cap trouble. Current Team: - The Nets are in tank mode for the 2025 draft (and likely 2026) and do not have a Superstar. - Have veterans that they still may trade to contenders. (Dorian Finney Smith, Cam Johnson, etc.) - But they still have a nucleus of productive young players, that they have on good deals. While this will not be a good season, with significant draft assets and a great cap situation, the Nets have many options for a bright future.
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.
Sun's would've been fine, if they stopped at KD with star power... The move for Beal was what screwed them over.. they could've used that extra cap space to sign 2-3 quality 2-way players..
People forget that the NBA is a business. They’re not going to let a team flounder. No matter how bad a team ruined their future the NBA is always going to step in and give franchise a hand.
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.
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 .
@@akeemgriffith2959who in their right mind trades for a player that has a "no trade" clause. Beal is a good player but he is no way a player deserving of that clause.
Its not that bad i say they couldve been fine with just booker and kd but they had to double down and get beal which was the problem. They couldve used those assets to try and find players to bolster their depth
So much of the bucks short comings is on Giannis/Middleton health. I give you some credit that dame isn’t the same as Jrue. But most of it is health and Embiid has a significantly worse injury history and he’s never been out of the second round
Quite literally says no guaranteed pick until 2031. That means they have no control over their picks until then. They either outright don't have said pick, or have to trade their pick if it's better of the two.
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.
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....
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
How far r the Knicks suppose to go w/a shoot first PG & a BIG who doesn't play like one 🤔?? The Kings organization is starting to doubt Fox, it's over for them...... IMO 😐🤔!!
@@danielvasquez3758 if the 2019 Raptors count (they added Kawhi, DG and Marc Gasol mid season) then the Celtics picking up Jrue and KP would have to count too
Well, Giannis isn't mocked for being injury prone for a few reasons. 1) He doesn't throw his teammates under the bus whenever he loses. 2) He doesn't blame injuries for loses he plays in (you know, like how Embiid, no matter how much or how well he plays, is always injured). 3) He already led a team to the mountain top, why complain about someone only 4 years removed from a title?
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
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
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.
The bucks are stupid for refusing to start Bobby Portis over Lopez. He's a better player at this point in their career, he's better considitoned, and he's younger.
The Bucks have to concentrate on controlling the tempo of the game & Giannis imposing his will!! Giannis also has to pace himself for the long haul.....IMO 🤔!!
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.
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. 😞
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.
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.
the nets and suns comp only makes sense if you COMPLETELY ignore that KDs production ahsnt dropped AND that devin booker is 28 not 33-34 like those guys were.
C'mon everytime a superstar's not winning chips,his team's wasting his talent? Maybe Dame's addition wasnt the magic spell lotsa folks thought it was to be.
Maybe my unpopular opinion, 2:36 but Carmelo Anthony is soft.. I mean.. lacks mental toughness to carry a team. He can (talent-wise), but he can't (mentally) really carry a team.
Going all in usually doesn't work out. Having a all star squad is tough because of all the egos. More teams that have gone all in haven't won championships compared to those that did.
I could see them pulling off a season like that and breaking through to the conference finals as they haven’t been there since 2000. 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. Back then they had a Western and Eastern Division
Knicks got really good, I’m glad they gave us so many picks too. If they don’t win they should be ashamed 😅 PS. Bucks signing Doc Rivers is the biggest reason they lost, injuries had a part in it but ffs he is not a good coach.. He only let’s his players make the plays, he draws zero fucking plays.. I wonder how this is so big mystery to them when everything is there to see..
The Suns 🌞 gave up everything going all in. And with only conditional picks until 2031 its going to get rough. Suns in for a tough go of it for awhile.
The Knicks don't belong on here. Especially when most of the time their 1st picks have been horrible. This is easily their best overall team in a VERY LONG time
Welp, at the timing of this comment, knicks are on a 5 game winning streak with a 9-6 record and kats having his most efficient season if his career 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
76ers had best off season, got ridd of Tobias, got Paul George they can worry about his contract later, got solid role players, while having either first or second best player in the east
After seeing Shai and the 2019 clippers took the mighty warriors to 6 game in the first round, i knew he is a star in the making. After going to the Thunder after the PG trade, he suprisingly went to 2020 playoff with cp3 and a bunch of young players. At this time i know the Thunder will be dangerous later down the road. And now the Thunder is one of the most complete team this season only slightly behind the Celtics. Tks Kawhi
Maybe the best all in push, perhaps the most riskiest all in push, has to go to the Raptors when they traded Demar, Jakob, and a 2019 1st RP (Ended up being Keldon Johnson) for a 1 year expiring contracts of Kawhi and Danny Green. A risk like that (especially in hindsight) is something that can't be replicated again in sports history.

- For the second year in a row the Nets will be operating under the luxury tax (don't have to worry about repeater tax/penalties for a while).
- Next off-season the Nets will have more salary cap room than any other team. This can be used for free agents, or beneficial trades with teams in cap trouble.
Current Team:
- The Nets are in tank mode for the 2025 draft (and likely 2026) and do not have a Superstar.
- Have veterans that they still may trade to contenders. (Dorian Finney Smith, Cam Johnson, etc.)
- But they still have a nucleus of productive young players, that they have on good deals.

I could see them pulling off a season like that and breaking through to the conference finals as they haven’t been there since 2000. 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. Back then they had a Western and Eastern Division
In Thanos voice "everything"
Kawhi must really be regretting joining the clippers now.
Just a reminder Bronny James only need to hit a total of 6 3pters this season to pass Ben Simmons all time career total
The knicks first round exit is going to be glorious 🍀🍀😢
pre Knicks ECF appearance, u never know😂
Fans: Are you stupid? Twolves would NEVER trade KAT to the Knicks. Not in a million years. They don't even have anything to trade with!
Knicks: bet.
Knicks got really good, I’m glad they gave us so many picks too. If they don’t win they should be ashamed 😅
PS. Bucks signing Doc Rivers is the biggest reason they lost, injuries had a part in it but ffs he is not a good coach.. He only let’s his players make the plays, he draws zero fucking plays.. I wonder how this is so big mystery to them when everything is there to see..
The Suns 🌞 gave up everything going all in. And with only conditional picks until 2031 its going to get rough. Suns in for a tough go of it for awhile.
The Knicks don't belong on here. Especially when most of the time their 1st picks have been horrible. This is easily their best overall team in a VERY LONG time
I’m from the future, Giannis will be a Dallas Maverick
Curry will leave the warriors at this rate too
Game of Zones Durant didn’t want to play with Beal but real Durant did…
I'd comment on the video, which is great as usual Andy, but godamn: 8:06 the Wizards are 4th on spending. 4th...
Jesus LMFAO Christ...
gotta be them Poole and Kuzma contracts draggin them to Bikini Bottom
gotta be them Poole and Kuzma contracts draggin them to Bikini Bottom
Not sure how you can call the Bucks complacent after going all in on Lilliard.
bro made this video cuz he wanted to glaze the knicks lol
Glory the Knicks were known for back in the day.... which day?
OKC will go all in next year getting Giannis
Welp, at the timing of this comment, knicks are on a 5 game winning streak with a 9-6 record and kats having his most efficient season if his career 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Knicks to me look worst then previous season, while giving up so much they still might not be second seed
6:00 did he say this multiple time All NBA selection couldn’t be a number 1? Cmon bro bro
76ers had best off season, got ridd of Tobias, got Paul George they can worry about his contract later, got solid role players, while having either first or second best player in the east
Jericho Sims breakout season?
That new jalen brunson contract kinda remind me of joesmith timberwolves scandal
That deal was a major contributing factor in kg leaving Minnesota.
Nice.
After seeing Shai and the 2019 clippers took the mighty warriors to 6 game in the first round, i knew he is a star in the making. After going to the Thunder after the PG trade, he suprisingly went to 2020 playoff with cp3 and a bunch of young players. At this time i know the Thunder will be dangerous later down the road. And now the Thunder is one of the most complete team this season only slightly behind the Celtics. Tks Kawhi
0:31 As a Brooklyn Nets fan, I don't blame Billy King at all. It's just that he took the gamble, and he lost big time.
Jury's out on KAT trade.
If Phoenix was smart, they'd at least bring in John Wall for a workout and give him a minimum 1 year deal
John wall is washed tyus jones is a great signing
Tyus Jones is much better than Wall atp, might use Wall as backup tho
The bucks problem is not players. It's coaching.
Knicks 4 first round = 4x 30th pick
Maybe the best all in push, perhaps the most riskiest all in push, has to go to the Raptors when they traded Demar, Jakob, and a 2019 1st RP (Ended up being Keldon Johnson) for a 1 year expiring contracts of Kawhi and Danny Green. A risk like that (especially in hindsight) is something that can't be replicated again in sports history.
Wasn’t really to much of a risk they had zero chance of success with their roster before the trade
“most riskiest”
Buddy they didn’t have shit too lose, Demar was a detriment for the team in the playoffs and Jakob was ass
76ers have a better chance after this trade
People consistently have the dumbest takes on the suns , it's wild
Billy King
CHapionship but all pass their prime
Wolves fans never hated on KAT lol
NBA TH-camr are casuals. You expect biased takes lol

11:14 33 isn't "old" for the NBA anymore, man. Early 30s of today isn't the same as Early 30s from 20 years or even 10 years ago. When you hit 35-36 that when your game starts to age. Then again Steph & KD are 36 still Top 5 - 10 best players in the league.
