We so slow
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

I’m glad Nurkic was able to play otherwise we’d be down by double digits now. He’s having a fantastic half with 17 points 5, reb on 70% shooting.

Two hypothetical questions to you mate

1 if the Nets offer you Bridges and Cam Johnson for Booker would you do it ?

2 if this move happen will it decrease or increase your chances at a championship ?

No I decided not to support Nets with attendances and merchandise until changes is made to the front office and coaching staff , still root for them though

I remember when the trade happened back in February, couple of us from were watching your guys games in Feb/March and posted on GD threads and made comments about how Vaughn needs to be replaced. He basically had no system or rhyme to the offense or defense. At least 1 or 2 of your posters got defensive and made comments how we were wrong and that Vaughn isn’t that bad and Suns fans shouldn’t be coming in there suggesting for Vaughn to be fired.

I read your guys GD threads and nets reddit and it’s funny to see now how Vaughn is universally disliked by every Nets fan and you guys all want him fired asap lol. Funny the difference a year makes.

In my opinion Vaughn is easily bottom 5 HC in the league , to the point I would prefer gun to my head your former HC Monty

Most of us was fine with Vaugh hire at the time , what we have a problem with was extension he received

1) If Booker didn’t perform like a top 5 player of all time last year in playoffs, I’d think about it and still not certain I would trade him. Guys like Booker don’t grow on trees, meanwhile there are a ton of great role players/all stars every year in the league like Mikal Bridges.

2) This move would not increase our chances to beat teams like Nuggets, Clippers in the playoffs.. I don’t even believe we can beat those teams with Booker ATM. Just not enough chemistry between our players to exceed further this season, but next year could start seeing results.

Damn without even including any picks? Being a little greedy there. I’d hope SRB4G would decline lol.

Either way if we trade Booker, I personally hope it’s to Houston. Take everything valuable from them except for Sengun so they can form a big 2 around both Booker/Sengun.

No no greed at all , I didn’t say it’s fair value for Booker , just hypothetical question

I like Claxton a lot but he is just too damn skinny for some lineups.

Seems like the Nets have the same issue as the Suns and lack a lot of size down low.

It’s his contract year , he might be dealt as well , Sharpe was outplaying Clax before the injury by a large margin , very surprising but he really did

I’m like the General Board trade Booker for peanuts if possible. :lol:

Decided to join in on this game near the start of the 4th quarter. Looks like we're up in the late 3rd quarter. Just in time :lol:

This is possibly the worst time to join in to watch the game. You do realize what quarter comes after 3rd, right?
