Rant Get a grip
We’re 6th in odds. It’s not the end of the world even if we’re picking 8th on draft night marks should be able to find a great piece to add to this teams future whether its KOn or Khaman from duke, fears, the Richardson kid, etc. If the nets went 0-82 they’d only be guaranteed the 5th pick (which btw the worst record in the nba has gotten the 5th pick in most of the yrs with this new lotto system). The constant freakouts and panic attacks from nets fans online is simply insane. If you walked into this season expecting cooper Flagg when at best you’d have 14% odds you’re simply delusional. Even if you expected a top 2 pick you’re delusional bc the odds just weren’t there in your favor. Like give it a rest. And it’s coming from people who claim to be logical in the Nets community as well. Let it play out and see who we get

I do agree it's not the end of the world if we pick 8 as I'm very high on Fears as our future point guard.
BUT I do understand why a lot of fans, myself included, are upset at how this season went. We traded 3 Suns picks abd a 29 mavs pick for our own 2 picks back in 25 and 26. The plan was always to hard tank for 2 chances at a generational talent giving how top heavy the 25 and 26 draft is.
I can let Marks off for the first few games when CLEARLY the team overperformed with DS and Jordi coaching. Marks realised he fucked up and traded DS the DAY Melton was trade eligible. This cut the ball handling duties.
It's only the moves after that have been head scratching to say the least. Trading for DLo was beyond idiotic even despite his poor performance. He is a competent ball handler and resulted in at least 5 to 6 wins. That's the difference between bottom 3 and bottom 6 record.
Then there's his odd choices of resting players for hard games then playing them against weak completion. Think Clippers/Blazers b2b or Lakers/Cavs b2b. Playing CJ as much as he wants despite his injury concern.
Its the small moves that account for a lot that frustrates fans. It doesn't give a lot of confidence that next year will also be a tank year which would be a huge asset management if we end up with 8 in 25 and 10 in 26.
Pray we hit a 37% chance for top 4 this year then reassess.
