Yeah. Who would ever want to play in some backwater like Brooklyn?

They haven't exactly been the best managed franchise for a while now. Some signs of that changing, but really all they have done is dump whatever possible for draft capital.

My sources tell me that the reason they wont go to the Nets has nothing to do with Brooklyn itself.

It's that they don't want @bksballer89 going to their games.

LOL. Fair point. OTOH, Brooklyn has the allure of New York City without having to deal with Jimmy Dolan.

Marks has done a really good job with them, minus Allen crabbe.

We'll see. Allen looks like a draft night hit, but beyond that? Dinwiddie was a nice 2nd round find. I liked the Musa pick. Will guys like Russell, Harris, Rondae, and LeVert survive the make-over?

none of those are misses though.

He's used his cap space to at least get young assets.

The question is what to do with them.

I'd say a bigger mistake was not selling Harris at the TD.

He's paying for his two kids with her and Mat Lienarts....lol

Fellas,

Be smart enough not to start dating a Kar-trashian while you still live with your baby mama.

Especially when said Kar-trashian went from Jordan Clarkson, to Blake, to Ben Simmons over the course of a year.

Yep. Some folks seem to want to base everything on what Lebron has done in the past.

Clearly, he's not doing things the same way this time.

He signed a longer than 1 year deal.

He signed without another superstar.

He hasn't (so far) demanded that any of the kids be traded away.

Once the season starts and the games matter, maybe things will change and he'll revert to some of his old ways. But for now at least, he seems to be willing to trust Magic and Rob and do things a little differently this time.
To be fair I tend to think he'll be the same player he's been because that's what we've seen from him the last 15 years. Even when he teamed up with Wade & Bosh in Miami he didn't change the way he plays so I just find it hard to believe at this stage he's going to sit back & let the youngins take the lead on the court. He'll have to actually do it before I can believe it.
