Official Brooklyn Nets Thread

Just creating an official one instead of creating one each year.

But yeah, I'm liking our squad so far. It's funny seeing articles/blogs about how optimistic we are despite the fact that we won't be good next year and the year after, lol. Based on what management has done since they've been here, they've given us reason to be optimistic over the next few years while we clean up King's mess.

Russell will compete for a starting spot during training camp, Zach Lowe of ESPN reports. While Russell, acquired in June as part of a deal that sent Brook Lopez to the Lakers, may have the highest upside of any player on the roster, Lowe's report implies that the third-year guard will not be handed a starting spot. With Timofey Mozgov and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson expected to start at center and power forward, respectively, several players -- DeMarre Carroll, Allen Crabbe, Jeremy Lin, Caris LeVert, and Russell -- will battle it out for the remaining three spots. Lowe notes that the combination of Lin, LeVert and Crabbe may have the inside track, though it seems highly likely that Russell will be given a chance to start -- whether it's at the one or the two -- at some point, considering his standing as a former No. 2 overall pick, who averaged nearly 16 points per game for a dysfunctional team last season. Whether Russell starts or not, he'll still be a key rotation player, though gauging his fantasy value heading into the season will be a difficult task.

I'd be surprised if he didn't start tbh.

Yeah, I definitely get them not handing anyone a starting spot on the team(Mozgov by default and Rondae makes too much sense to start as a small ball 4)but yeah, I'd be a bit surprised if he's not starting in the backcourt.

Minutes wise, everyone will pretty much be in the same area as far as playing 28-30 MPG.

Media Day is next Monday and the next day, we'll be in Annapolis, MD for Training Camp at the Naval Academy.

Almost here y'all.

Just please no significant injuries to this squad, like our starting PG missing half of the season like last year.

33 wins is my goal for this year and if everyone is healthy, I think we can hit that mark. Defense is going to be awful this year but i think we'll see a slight improvement in it from last year with LeVert and RHJ.

[ProfessaPackMan]

Rondae might have a jumper, ya'll.

Nets exercise 2018-19 options on Rondae, LeVert and Russell.

Just here to express my disgust as an Ohio State fan that D’Lo was traded to such a bad situation.
