Nash is smart but he’s going to have his hands full. Obviously from a talent perspective the Nets improved on paper, but I think their performance will suffer and ultimately they’ll underachieve. I seriously question the fit and the chemistry, especially with Kyrie going full weirdo recently. Dude needs his head checked

fully agree

Bench plays a big part of the playoffs. Plus adding a top tier player to give up depth makes injury that much riskier. One of those 3 stars go down and you're toast. 2 stars with no other depth and you're done

They have 3 of the most talented offensively iso scorers on the same team. But now they have no bench, Dinwiddie is out for the season, they lost Allen, who was their best rim protector. DAJ is okay, but not much of a world beater, and their depth is now going to rely solely on vet mins.

Oh, did I also mention...

After next season, all 3 players have player options? So if one or two of the players walk, not only do the Nets pretty much have no draft pick capital, they also have 4 pick swaps, and I can inevitably see Harden or even Kyrie trying to go elsewhere. Their window of contention is essentially 2-3 years.

Picking Bucks because Giannis will break through at some point

That's the same for every team in the league, it's pointless to bring up.

I think it won't be this year depending on how Milwaukee fills out the team

if guys like Thanasis, Connaughton, and Forbes are getting serious minutes in a playoff series, it's probably a wrap for the Bucks eventually

Playoffs basically 8 man rotation and 7 on some nights depending on the team...
Healthy Bucks would have Portis, Craig, DJ, Pat and Forbes. Upgrade at guard and a 3 man rotation with Craig+Portis is solid considering the other options to plug in.

They have the best offense for sure but it has a Mavs feel to me. They had a historic offense last year that performed just as good in the playoffs...but they couldn't stop anyone.
Kyrie-Harden-Harris-KD-DJ
Nobody is stopping them but they ain't stopping shit either

Watching DJ right now, I bet Tacko Fall would perform better if given 17 minutes

Idk for some reason Bud likes to run 10-11 deep and only played Giannis and Middleton upper 20s minutes against the Heat

I’m not convinced that the Bucks have it all together for this year, I was way more convinced last year assuming that the bubble didn’t occur I think they would have ran away with it

Its exactly the opposite. It's not as big of a deal if you have depth. That's the exact thing this trade does. Strips them if depth...
