if I ran an NBA team I would hire Billy King as a consultant, he would call other teams about trades and then we would do the exact opposite of what he says.
@The Hawk lmfao over the top much? Ask Cleveland fans if they feel like they won that trade. It's basically become Kyrie for Sexton. Wow what a haul for a top 3 point guard. The players we drafted with the Brooklyn picks are 2nd and 3rd year players for fucks sake. They're still developing. Brown and Tatum carried the Celtics to the ECF game 7. This past season with Hayward and Irving back created a log jam of start-worthy players that had to adjust to different roles and that's very difficult on such a talented team. They had another year to develop this season and I'm sure, likely returned to their starting roles, Brown and Tatum will take another big leap forward and become even more dynamic.
@@theartoonnerdologist411 huh? Rozier ain't covering for shit next year bruh. He's longgg gone to Pheonix most likely on a Max or close to it, which he won't deserve and will become an albatross once he's exposed as a tyreke evans. Irving is probably signing the max in the Bean this offseason. dude is trying to leverage Bkn. With Rozier and Morris out, the locker room nonsense will be over with, we'll probably trade for AD with a package around Brown(probably/Tatum with picks and role players thrown in. Horford and opt in/out to restructure his contract to make room in the cap (reports say he's willing too) and Hayward (please God) will regain full form next season. That's Kryie, AD, Tatum, Horford, and maybe Smart or a spot/shoot pick up in FA or Trade. Absolutely Filthy starting 5. That my prediction/hope anyway.
@The Hawk in in anyones mind they could say the Cavs won the Kyrie trade is hilarious on so many various levels, it's to late St night to list them all. If you're still lingering this thread in the morning , I'd be happy to list them all 1through 1000 for you. G'night
Congrats Nets! You have made the Knicks an even bigger shitshow. You got KD & Kyrie to come to Brooklyn. Too Bad D-Lo’s walking though. February 2023: Oh Brother. Things have gotten ugly. The Knicks have a better future than the Nets.
So did the Raptors, Clippers, Mavericks, Pelicans and even the 76ers. All you terrible teams are all getting revived! Hell Denver is a good team. The BUCKS are good team. The Magic made a playoff run. Lakers finally restored themselves to their former glory. Raptors won a god damn championship. But the Knicks? Just enjoy sitting next to the Suns, Hornets and Kings where we'll give you a pat on the head if you manage to at least get 30 wins. I think I have a participation trophy laying around here somewhere I can give you. At least that Kristaps guy is load off your roster. It's not like he put on 20 pounds of pure muscle, got worked with by a legendary player and will become a future hall of famer right?.... right? oh shit....
@@buffvegito2751 Don't hang to the 90's nostalgia. Almost everyone who born during that time is legally allowed to drink nowadays. Knicks IS AS BAD as them
Thank you Billy King and Mikhail Prokhorov for your incompetence in wanting to trade for three 35 year olds. This probably won’t be the only championship that Boston will win with this core.
And that might not be the only championship that Boston wins with the core they have. As of January 1, 2025, they have a record of 24-9 this season and are in second place in the eastern conference only behind Cleveland who have a record of 29-4.
It's true, though. In fact, that was what they were mainly known by back in their ABA days, save for their opening season as the New Jersey Americans...
The blazers themselves have been a lol cow contender since their title for 40 years now...with draft busts injurirs drug problems signing thugs and never winning
Turns out Brook did make it out of there. He also won a championship with the Bucks, winning the injury war of attrition against his former team. Happy endings.
Hey brook good job heres a thumbs up by the way makail got his comeuppance for wasting you hes now got 30 sactions on him and is in hiding currently in his Brooklyn home
1st rounders gave up for 35 year olds turned into: Jaylen Brown Jayson Tatum Collin Sexton So they basically got 35 year old men in exchange for Damian Lillard, Enes Kanter, Draymond Green, James Young, Kelly Oubre, Shane Larkin, Robert Sacre, Gorgui Dieng, Cheick Diallo, Markelle Fultz, Frank Jackson, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Collin Sexton. God they fucked up
Congrats Nets! The two players you traded for three 35 year old men just won an NBA Championship with the Celtics! And they we're the two best players for Boston! You're now officially the Clippers of the eastern conference! Have nothing but shame!
The Nets were always the Clippers of the east, they just look a bit better in comparison because the Knicks were the LolKnicks ( 2001-2021). But then again the Clipper failed to usurp the Evil Empire while the Nets failed to usurp a clown show.
Damn I knew the Nets completely fucked themselves over, but to the magnitude of losing out on Damian Lillard, Enes Kanter, Draymond Green, and potentially Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball is a nightmare.
I loved loved loved this new setup! The old lighthearted feel was wonderful but there was something about this that just had that streak of professional documentary type vibe. Keep doing what you're doing man! I cant get enough!
We've gotta see a sequel to this detailing the KD/Kyrie/Harden saga. Somehow the sequel manages to surpass the original in terms of absolute craziness and reputation destruction.
Now they're about to give up on the guys that got them there so they can turn to Kyrie Irving and enjoy 5 months of success before he gives up on them...
You would think getting 2 hall of gamer worthy pmayers in pierce and kg would at least make the deal worth it for 1 year but him and terry had career lows that season and both looked like they should of retired and pierce was awful....and then ditched the team same for terry where there helped their new teams win playoff series ..what a fucking waste ...kg was literally averaging 6 and 5 with the nets..like wtf..
Well, well, well. Someone told me that the Nets was gonna go after KD, Kyrie, and Kawhi last season. I called him a madman. Turns out he was a prophet.
Yes, please, my man. I mean, at least the Phoenix Suns still have young players like Devin Booker and Marquese Chriss that can grow into potential All-Stars moving forward. I honestly don't know who in Orlando can be exactly that anymore!
@Crazy Luigi I still can't believe we traded Oladipo for Ibaka just to trade Ibaka away before the season even ended. Lost Oladipo for nothing. ORLANDO FIRE ROB HENNIGAN!
It is happening. At least they get a low first this year and in 2027 because they let Harden walk. They got one year of their men, and it got them nothing, plus Ben Simmons. As a Celtics fan, I just hope Houston gets good so they can laugh just as hard as we did.
Sean Marks is turning the Nets around as we speak. He shipped off Thaddeus Young's big contract at the draft last year for a first rounder then drafted Caris Levert who's played well. He swung a deal in the second round for Isaiah Whitehead who has also played well. This season he moved Bogdanovic who will be out of his prime by the time Marks digs the team out of King's hole for a first round pick in a deep draft. And he wisely kept Lopez at the deadline and is sticking to his asking price for Lopez. He's doing good things (I'm not a Nets fan btw, I say that as an outside observer of the Nets). Mikhail needs to give him time.
No denying that. However, I think if Brooklyn manages to find a talent like Harry Giles III (before his injuries wrecked his time at Duke) that recovers nicely, similar to Skal Labissiere going from Kentucky to Sacramento (only hopefully without as much time spent in the D-League/G-League moving forward), they could be alright.
Marks has put them in good shape for this draft. They have two picks that will be in the 20's. In this draft plenty of talent will be available with those picks.
As a Celtics fan, I originally didn't like that Pierce wasn't gonna play his whole career with Boston. Looking at The Trade now, it was something that needed to be done. Thank you for cooperating Brooklyn Nets :)
With that kind of price, there was no reason not to trade them away. They were at an age where they are already in a decline in performance. They, predictably, declined rapidly after the trade.
Watching this just after the KD trade really makes me think about how disastrous that Nets Celtics deal was. The Celtics ended up getting Jaylen Brown & Jayson Tatum with two of those picks. Sure the last one was for Kyrie, but Brown & Tatum are both monsters.
Who else is here in 2023 when the Nets got swept by the Sixers in the first round of the playoffs? BTW, that now makes 10 straight playoff games lost for the Brooklyn Nets
This vid showed up in my recs, holy shit, i had no idea you were still on youtube! I was subbed to you on an old account during the AVGN/Armake21 era of game reviews. This is gold. Even moreso now that my Sixers are about to get Fultz. Finally - Billy King did something good for them.
The Nets traded away their entire future Draft Picks and their Depth on the Bench just to get eliminated in the 2nd Round by the Greek Freak and the Bucks 🦌
Boston wins 2024 NBA title. The picks they got from the Nets were used on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum their two best players. The Herschel Walker of NBA trades.
Back here after the Nets were swept out of the playoffs for the second straight year. Edit: And now Boston has won their 18th championship in franchise history. Thank you Billy King for gifting them the draft assets that helped them to win it all.
LawndaleLion you read it wrong haha. I meant there are the shitty NYC area teams (nets, mets compared to Yankees, jets, devils) and there are the better ones (Giants, Yankees, Rangers, Knicks I guess)
As a native New Jersian, I love seeing this team get what it deserves. Honestly New Jersey deserves a basketball and football team. MetLife Stadium is in New Jersey and the two teams that play in it are NEW YORK teams!
Melon Lemon I don't, but New Jersey as a whole does. everyone makes jokes about Jersey, and how New York is better, but without New York City New York would be nothing more than Pennsylvania without Philly or Pittsburgh.
6:48 I recognize this music. Pretty much summarizes the collapse of the Nets Empire. Great choice of putting the Soul of Cinder soundtrack on the Nets.
Best content to date. I don't give a crap about the Nets, and you made me hate the organization with a passion after this video. EXCELLENT work and amazing quality.
If you hate the Nets, then oh boy, just wait until you see the complete *_shitshow_* of epic proportions known as the New York Knicks! Once you see the shit they went through (and are *_still going through to this very day_*), you'll suddenly start feeling more sympathetic towards the Brooklyn Nets.
that's a bit unfair to the FO, they got rid of Billy King, and got Sean Marks, the former asst. GM for the Spurs. And from all the reports coming from the press, the owner is staying out of all team affairs. They're really trying to do all things right, and also the fact that J-lin was injured for 3/4 of the season and recent results of beating playoff contention teams, they're really changing things around.
That Billy King quote has aged well like fine wine. Billy King Statue is about to be built this summer in his honor.
Billy King wasn’t the only one who wanted to make that trade. Mikhail Prokhorov was definitely pressuring him to make a splash move. Sports Illustrated (now gone) had a great article on that trade interviewing Billy King. King said in the article that there was pressure from Prokhorov to make moves.
I need a part 2 but for KD and Kyrie

@@JM-fr5ge probably the worst part about it for the fans no actual point and nothing accomplished
Oh yeah remember that center you had Nets? He won a championship with Milwaukee. And he still leads your franchise in scoring.
At least this time they bothered to get draft picks in return
if I ran an NBA team I would hire Billy King as a consultant, he would call other teams about trades and then we would do the exact opposite of what he says.
He would just keep increasing the offers on trades until he got the other guy to accept.

Sean Marks is turning the Nets around as we speak. He shipped off Thaddeus Young's big contract at the draft last year for a first rounder then drafted Caris Levert who's played well. He swung a deal in the second round for Isaiah Whitehead who has also played well. This season he moved Bogdanovic who will be out of his prime by the time Marks digs the team out of King's hole for a first round pick in a deep draft. And he wisely kept Lopez at the deadline and is sticking to his asking price for Lopez. He's doing good things (I'm not a Nets fan btw, I say that as an outside observer of the Nets). Mikhail needs to give him time.
Marks is still facing a steep uphill battle thanks to the sins of Billy King. The Nets could really use a Fultz or Ball in their lineup.
Definitely
No denying that. However, I think if Brooklyn manages to find a talent like Harry Giles III (before his injuries wrecked his time at Duke) that recovers nicely, similar to Skal Labissiere going from Kentucky to Sacramento (only hopefully without as much time spent in the D-League/G-League moving forward), they could be alright.
Marks has put them in good shape for this draft. They have two picks that will be in the 20's. In this draft plenty of talent will be available with those picks.
1 Survivor Well he picked up Mozgov's insane contract. They have to hope D'Angelo develops.
As a Celtics fan, I originally didn't like that Pierce wasn't gonna play his whole career with Boston.
Looking at The Trade now, it was something that needed to be done.
Thank you for cooperating Brooklyn Nets :)
With that kind of price, there was no reason not to trade them away. They were at an age where they are already in a decline in performance. They, predictably, declined rapidly after the trade.

Act 4: Regardless of how much you fuck up, you will never be worse than the Knicks.
Love Theme from MGS4?
Dammit, UT, how am I supposed to appreciate the video when I'm already dying from laughter?
Here after the Celtics won the championship. Build the statue of Billy King immediately Celtics.
The Nets traded away their entire future Draft Picks and their Depth on the Bench just to get eliminated in the 2nd Round by the Greek Freak and the Bucks 🦌
Even worse, Brook Lopez finally got his championship.
This needs to be updated aaaasap
Boston wins 2024 NBA title. The picks they got from the Nets were used on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum their two best players. The Herschel Walker of NBA trades.
And Jaylen Brown is the 2024 NBA Finals MVP
So...who's back here after both KD and Kyrie fucked off from this team?
Back here after the Nets were swept out of the playoffs for the second straight year.
Edit: And now Boston has won their 18th championship in franchise history. Thank you Billy King for gifting them the draft assets that helped them to win it all.
Well........at least Brook Lopez has a ring.
As a Nets fan, this makes me cringe and get PTSDs of Billy King...
MJB 123 damn, judging by the profile pic your a fan of the shitty NYC Area Teams...
Welcome to Alshentzylvania yep, the Mets are my only hope
LawndaleLion you read it wrong haha. I meant there are the shitty NYC area teams (nets, mets compared to Yankees, jets, devils) and there are the better ones (Giants, Yankees, Rangers, Knicks I guess)
MJB 123 I'd love to see the jets take off but the other teams, not so much...
LawndaleLion yeah I know, we have a solid future
Might as well move out of Brooklyn at this point. A billion dollar tire fire.
As a native New Jersian, I love seeing this team get what it deserves. Honestly New Jersey deserves a basketball and football team. MetLife Stadium is in New Jersey and the two teams that play in it are NEW YORK teams!
Bruins Boy yeah, I don't follow hockey a ton though.
Joseph Randisi you don't deserve crap
Melon Lemon I don't, but New Jersey as a whole does. everyone makes jokes about Jersey, and how New York is better, but without New York City New York would be nothing more than Pennsylvania without Philly or Pittsburgh.
Melon Lemon That was quite a comparison
Joseph Randisi Jersey doesn't really deserve much it's kinda trashy over there
Just the format made me like. You have exceeded my expectations, sir.
Tree, you should do a new video regarding the Nets current situation.
I'm so glad I discovered you. This channel will blow up soon!
Unexpected dark souls music
I read the title and expected it to be something that came out within a few weeks. They are in a never-ending loop
Time to build that Billy King statue Boston
6:48 I recognize this music. Pretty much summarizes the collapse of the Nets Empire. Great choice of putting the Soul of Cinder soundtrack on the Nets.
Who's here after The Celtics won their 18th title
Billy King Statue loading
Best content to date. I don't give a crap about the Nets, and you made me hate the organization with a passion after this video. EXCELLENT work and amazing quality.
If you hate the Nets, then oh boy, just wait until you see the complete *_shitshow_* of epic proportions known as the New York Knicks! Once you see the shit they went through (and are *_still going through to this very day_*), you'll suddenly start feeling more sympathetic towards the Brooklyn Nets.
that's a bit unfair to the FO, they got rid of Billy King, and got Sean Marks, the former asst. GM for the Spurs. And from all the reports coming from the press, the owner is staying out of all team affairs. They're really trying to do all things right, and also the fact that J-lin was injured for 3/4 of the season and recent results of beating playoff contention teams, they're really changing things around.
Regardless of how the season ends we need to revisit this team soon..
that's inevitable now
A few years later...
Everyone: *ThIS didNT agE weLL*
Just look at the Sacramento Kings Video, You could see a Few Comments of that. LMAO, Kings aren't even good enough to be a 9th Seed in the West
