If a team is constantly changing their mind on directions, the correct answer is always to rebuild. You cant compete without a top 15 player on your roster. So if you're changing directions, that most likely means you dont have that top 15 player. If you dont have that top 15 player, then you have to find that top 15 player. That means trading your rotation players for picks and younger players. You dont have to tank if you dont own your picks. You can still compete the best you can with your younger players. But you absolutely have to trade away any vets that might be attractive to contenders for younger players and picks.
When the CASUALS heard the word: "HEAT CULTURE" they just rolled their eyes and keep making jokes about it meanwhile their team keep changing coaches, GMS and owners every season. Now keep laughing on HEAT CULTURE. Carry on!
Ben Simmons doesn't care about basketball. He's going to get to the end of this contract and retire. The only concern is to make sure he gets all of his money and stay off the radar.
You know this personally? Has Ben told you this himself? My personal professional opinion after watching him here in Philly is that he does care about ball but developed a crazy bad personality disorder and is actual broken now.
This vid is missing tons of context. Every superstar (KD, Kyrie, Harden) requested to leave. Harden was offered a max but bailed due to Kyrie's antics. Even after being offered 2 years/ $84 million, Kyrie continued to be unavailable and requested a trade. KD requested a trade, they kept him, fired Nash, won 18 of 20 games, then he asked to leave again (but not before requesting Sean Marks go too). In the measly 19 games the Big 3 played together, they had the highest offensive rating in NBA history. Brooklyn's goal this year was to stay under the luxury repeater tax and maintain flexibility for 2025 once Ben Simmons contract is up. Ben has the worst contract in the NBA - they have no choice but to try and make it work with him being terrified to shoot. The Brooklyn Nets do not exist as some feeder team to support other big market franchises like LA or the Knicks. The organization never wavered in their mission to compete, it's just that their stars either got crushed/injured in the playoffs or were noncommittal at every step of the way. Vaughn didn't have much to work with, and BKN really wanted Udoka, but the 50pt loss was the death knell.

6:43 we didn't punt on them. they gave us no choice. Kyrie didn't wanna get vaxxed. KD got injured (albeit after having a MVP start). James Harden just asked for a trade. The Nets voluntarily didn't tear it down, they had no choice but to. It's just that the situation always becomes the worst case scenario for them.
JV wasn't given a proper shot with good talent. The Nets let Steve Nash waste a year with KD, Kyrie and Harden that could've been given to JV. If they weren't going to promote Ime Udoka to HC in 2021, it should've been JV.
No he isn’t. The Nets have talent and should have been building around Cam Thomas, but Vaughn is absolutely incompetent and incapable of developing a talented young star. Especially when it was obvious from day one that Vaughn had it out for the kid. Vaughn had to go.
@@mydogsnameislucy768 The kid is only 22 years old. How about actually trying to develop his game and find out instead of acting like you know everything?
@@jso416tell me you don’t actually watch ball without telling me you don’t watch ball… he is lazy as hell when the ball isn’t in his hands, by choice, period.
Not accepting any trade for Mikal or DFS for as many picks as rumored (especially given those Bridges picks would've been their own from Houston) is honestly a fireable offense for Sean Marks. Heck, the fact that Mikal Bridges went on Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart's podcast and openly admitted how much better the Knicks fans were than Nets fans is embarrassing as hell.
It’s not about Ben Simmons. His situation is what it is. The Nets fired Vaughn because he’s failed to develop and build the team around Cam Thomas. Bridges was never meant to be the franchise player moving forward.
The franchise player moving forward is supposed to be the player that's making $37 million a year. That is the crux of the situation. Ben Simmons is overpaid and he's taking up salary cap space which prevents the Nets from getting a star player. The Nets have great supporting players but they need a Luca or a Jokic or a Khwai, or a Paul George. A player that can consistently score thirty a game. And that player should be the guy who has the huge salary. But that guy is being paid $37 million to play sometimes and averages 6 points per game.
My point is that it IS about Ben Simmons. Simmons is the reason for the Nets failures because he can't produce and the Nets can't get rid of him because of that huge contract. 6 points per game SMH.
@@killerjoe7596 Simmons is only one player, and he was never an elite scorer to begin with. Simmons was supposed to add value on the defensive end. I agree with you that the Nets made a mistake in making that trade for him, but literally no one knew about the back issues before the trade. The Nets can’t force him onto the court, and if they release him they still owe him the remainder of his contract.
@@jso416 I'm not blaming anybody. I'm saying that Ben Simmons and that big ass contract of his is the reason that the nest can't make any moves for a legit superstar until the end of next season when they will be free of Simmons and his outrageous contract. Simmons was never an elite scorer, but I never thought he was an elite anything. To me he was always a scratch player. Someone who could get up and down the court and do some aesthetic looking things in the open court every once in awhile, but he was never a good point guard; completely inefficient in the half court offense. I don't know why Doc Rivers kept him at point guard. I always suspected that Ben Simmons career was a bit of a fraud. In time I was proven right. One bad player on a basketball team can really screw up that team. Especially if he has an outrageous contract.
When Ben Simmons gets the ball, he panics and immediately looks to pass to keep from getting fouled, so he won't have to shoot free throws. Damn shame!!
@TheFlightMike you literally gave us circle of Ben Simmons. 🤣🤣🤣 There are few things you shouldn't believe in. Harden winning a championship as a primary. Westbrook winning a championship as a primary. Luka winning multiple championship in Dallas. Ben Simmons. Everything else is a coin toss.
The coach had to be fired, he was horrible, should never have been the HC in the first place, we have a lot of problems in Brooklyn but that don’t mean JV can get away with his horrible rotations and plays, the guy has some of the best defensive talent in the league but can’t setup a competent defence, and his offence is even worse, the guy will pretty much always bench the guy with a hot hand for legit no reason, he’s useless and you said some nets fans confused like hell nah we been waiting on this moment, everyone and they’re mother saw it coming, only reason it ain’t happen earlier was Sean Marks and Joe Tsai being set on us being a mid team
The Nets need to establish an identity. I'm a Clippers fan and I know very well the struggles of sharing a market with a popular franchise. Balmer has done an excellent job of marketing to the basketball fan who is not interested in the Hollywood circus and also is more involved in the city's youth than the Lakers are. We will never compete with them, but the fan base is there. The Nets come off like a knock off version of the Knicks. The similarity is that Nets and Clippers fans get pretty deflated when the team is bad and won't show out every night when that happens. So they need to do a better job of establishing an identity in how they play and compete. They can't afford to be bad. That game vs the Knicks in BKN had to be embarrassing for them, its a Knicks town but in previous years the Nets fans never let it get that lopsided. They have a lot of work to do.
The progression of Sean Marks from an impressive upstart GM to one of the greatest clown shows is breathtaking to watch in real time. The James Harden trade is a textbook example of how to fleece a team. The Houston Rockets used Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers (who were also chasing Harden) as leverage. As a result, the Nets paid a historic price for James that gutted their bench and ensured that resigning Harden was the only way any of it made sense. This is the classic example of a GM failing to do his homework. Harden seeing Brooklyn as meh happened way before CoViD. Bro turned down a HUGE contract extension that should have been a bright red flag to Marks that something was very wrong. It's been a spectacular train wreck ever since. 🚂

The Nets are proof that prefabricated “super teams” don’t always equate to rings. The Nets were STACKED & still couldn’t make it work. KD should’ve never left GS because now he’s been exposed. And like Kobe said, Harden will never win a ring.

They shouldve took the 2 1st round picks for Dinny-Smith. That wouldve been a lot to help rebuild. idk if they can buyout Simmons contract? But id try to trade Cam Thomas to the Pistons for Jaden Ivey. I dont think Ivey & Monty Williams are gonna work well together so Pistons might actually look to trade Ivey.

The coach had to be fired, he was horrible, should never have been the HC in the first place, we have a lot of problems in Brooklyn but that don’t mean JV can get away with his horrible rotations and plays, the guy has some of the best defensive talent in the league but can’t setup a competent defence, and his offence is even worse, the guy will pretty much always bench the guy with a hot hand for legit no reason, he’s useless and you said some nets fans confused like hell nah we been waiting on this moment, everyone and they’re mother saw it coming, only reason it ain’t happen earlier was Sean Marks and Joe Tsai being set on us being a mid team
Ain’t seen a mavs vid ina min
The Nets need to establish an identity. I'm a Clippers fan and I know very well the struggles of sharing a market with a popular franchise. Balmer has done an excellent job of marketing to the basketball fan who is not interested in the Hollywood circus and also is more involved in the city's youth than the Lakers are. We will never compete with them, but the fan base is there. The Nets come off like a knock off version of the Knicks.
The similarity is that Nets and Clippers fans get pretty deflated when the team is bad and won't show out every night when that happens. So they need to do a better job of establishing an identity in how they play and compete. They can't afford to be bad.
That game vs the Knicks in BKN had to be embarrassing for them, its a Knicks town but in previous years the Nets fans never let it get that lopsided. They have a lot of work to do.
It’s not a cycle it’s bad luck over and over again
As a Rockets fan...i love how incompetent the Nets can be 😂
The progression of Sean Marks from an impressive upstart GM to one of the greatest clown shows is breathtaking to watch in real time. The James Harden trade is a textbook example of how to fleece a team.
The Houston Rockets used Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers (who were also chasing Harden) as leverage. As a result, the Nets paid a historic price for James that gutted their bench and ensured that resigning Harden was the only way any of it made sense.
This is the classic example of a GM failing to do his homework. Harden seeing Brooklyn as meh happened way before CoViD.
Bro turned down a HUGE contract extension that should have been a bright red flag to Marks that something was very wrong. It's been a spectacular train wreck ever since. 🚂
They just need to blow it up and wait till the Simmons contract ends after next szn, should’ve taken those 7 picks
KD has played with Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Curry, Thompson, past prime Boogie, Kyrie, Cp3, Booker, Beal... I might have forgotten someone
This what happens when u buy into “ when u can get a superstar u gotta move heaven and earth, trade everything “ mentality
Nets are in purgatory 😬😬
I am a proud 😂 of the Brooklyn nets
kevin ollie seems like great coach. a player whose been a winner and work as a role player. that seems to be the formula for the todays coach
The Flight Mike continues to embarrass himself
Nets do plenty of that for everybody 😂
Theprussa continues to embarrass himself
@@ddoprre7486 no I don't. Flight Mike always over exaggerate stuff. And doing complete deep dives instead of just getting to the new updates is also annoying.
We'll never have long term coaches like pop, tibbs, or spoestra ever again in the nba😂
Me: “Bridges doesn’t curse enough”
Briges: yeah well *BEEP* *BEEP* shoot *BEEP* *BEEP* ya feel me?
Sad for Jacque Vaughn.
what are you as a coach supposed to do with that roster?
We shall see what another coach can do.
@@almac9203 I wish him only the best, but -as we say in Germany- it´s neither fish nor meat ... besides Bridges there´s not much to work with
stuck in the middle of nowhere with no perspective on a high draft pick
Congrats to Kevin Ollie for getting the job...of the next former coach of BKN

Ben "The L" Simmons is a dawg, Panda mentality, taking first MVP with 6.8ppg 💪
Ben isn’t a bench player. He’s an injured player.
The irony of a sponsored channel talking about another dude's money lol
want to be a youtuber in this realm: 1: hottake energetic intro: then animated intro and gambling sponsor (half the video) well done then history everyone knows with b roll everyone can use repeat hot take. thats the rule gl. 99% of nba youtubers. and we are here for it...still
Brooklyn Nets looking alot like 2011's Nj nets. lol and i don't feel sorry for them
As a diehard Nets Fan the drama that's been going on has been completely embarrassing literally The Best thing right now is that make the decision to fire Sean Marks he's done absolutely nothing but make dumbass decisions that have ruined this team to the core it's an disgrace to the Borough of Brooklyn that this team has to look like this Period 💯🤦🏽
The Nets are proof that prefabricated “super teams” don’t always equate to rings. The Nets were STACKED & still couldn’t make it work. KD should’ve never left GS because now he’s been exposed. And like Kobe said, Harden will never win a ring.
How unprofessional is it to be outright laughing at a player? And you know this was planned by the network because at no point did they cut the audio, AND they panned the camera bac to them. They wanted it to be seen and the fact that people are will to go along with attempting to embarrass a person on a national show
Flip flopping... Fired Kenny Atkinson. Hired then fired Vaughn. Hired then fired Nash. Hired again and now fired again Vaughn.
Barbershop talk says:"The Nets will win the chip this year!" 😷🤣😂
The brooklyn curse is strong and well
Please stop the nets embarrismenting them selves😅
Coach bud could get a chance
i respect u more for saying it didn't hit
As a Nets fan, please save Mikal Bridges
They need mike bud
Lakers should hire Coach Terry Stotts as their lead assistant coach for the final 3rd of the season going to the playoffs in order to improve their offense even more
Troy weaver wanted Ollie in Detroit owner Tom gores chose Monty Williams. Ollie didn’t turn down the job the owner overstepped our gm from his mansion in Los Angeles now Ollie is excelling in Brooklyn. Wish him success
u also said nets r better w/o kd
Do not gamble folks, its not good for you
I haven't been a Nets fan for so long I started to like the nets and basketball as a sport in 2019 the nets with all star dlow and a fun team was great basketball but when kd and kyrie came I feel like they ruined the team and now eventhough we have good players like cam thomas and Johnson and Mikal and clax I really worried for the future man🤷♂️
if kd and kyrie can knocking on your door u take it i see what u mean tho
They shouldve took the 2 1st round picks for Dinny-Smith. That wouldve been a lot to help rebuild. idk if they can buyout Simmons contract? But id try to trade Cam Thomas to the Pistons for Jaden Ivey. I dont think Ivey & Monty Williams are gonna work well together so Pistons might actually look to trade Ivey. But to have Ivey & Bridges would be better. Make sure to draft a solid player coming up. Idk who is open to get maybe as a free agent?
Imagine if goggins was his support system
The dumbest franchise in the league.
They have to extricate themselves of their metastasized Ben Simmons cancer, then they can start rebuilding.
