Harden lands in Brooklyn

[HurricaneDij39]

I will say the Nets will be the most entertaining team in the NBA...

 

[Gman]

late first round picks in the NBA are virtually worthless

time will tell if giving up Levert and Allen was wise, the picks they shouldn’t worry about

^ That's what a lot of people said after that trade with Boston a decade ago.

I think you're way undervaluing the chance that this experiment doesn't work out.

 

[lebron23james]

LMAO.

Durant, Harden westbrook made the finals pretty easily as rookies and lost to the Heat who were much better than this lakers team with a much younger lebron...Now they are all better and Kyrie is better than Westbrook...It will be a lot easier than people think

Apples and Oranges

the C’s trade was literally “let’s try to really squeeze one title” out of a group clearly past their primes

I’m not predicting this at all, but we are talking about 3 top 10-12 players in the league in their primes for what could be a 3-4 year run so it’s a much more understandable approach

*The Lakers said hold our beer*

 

[lebron23james]

Wrong.

Durant is better than he was in 2011, Harden is much better than he was in 2011...And Kyrie already won a championship as the 2nd best player on a stacked team...So i mean there is that...

This team will be around a lot longer than the Lakers...Lebron is 37

Who am I missing?

 

[B_dub]

Are they allowing the Nets to play with 3 basketballs at a time or something?

Irving didn't want to take a backseat to James on the Cavs.....you think he'll be fine as the #3 guy?

Riiiiiiight.

Nets are already the favorites, so Vegas thinks so...

I get some insecure fans on this site might not agree, but the truth can hurt sometimes

The Lakers have done better with late 1st rounders and 2nd rounders lately than lottery picks.

It's all about scouting those players.

Werent they on pace to miss the playoffs for a decade before they got lebron? None of those players were really stars

William Hill Sportsbook now lists the Nets as +120 favorites to win the Eastern Conference, down from +250. The Lakers remain +240 NBA title favorites, but the Nets have jumped from +550 to +300

I hear you, but you are really talking about decent role players, playing around the real reason the Lakers are great. Lebron and AD

You can get those, and that’s why the Nets have become a well run franchise, they have unearthed more gems than any team in the league I believe

But the titles are won by the stars, not the guys you pick 27th

Kuzma, Clarkson, and THT.

All good players for where they were drafted.

Nets co-favorites to win NBA title after landing Harden

(Benefit of the doubt to the lakers because they won but Durant, Irving, Harden is clearly superior to old man Lebron/Davis imo) and will be the favorites going forward because of Lebrons age after this year

Co-favorites.....you said favorites.....there's a difference.....

And old man LeBron is still looking like the MVP.....

KD is still coming back from a serious injury.....and they can't load manage KD and Harden with very little depth now. They'll need to trade Irving to add some bench depth.

Favorites to win the east, co favorites to win the entire thing....

They likely only need a combination of 2/3 playing at all times so they can easily load manage...maybe only need 1 to win some east game tbh...

They don't need to load manage as much their is less games this year...

Irving won't suit up for them, care to wager?
