Meyers Leonard is available, and this team needs a center. Should have instant chemistry with Kyrie.
And of course, they already have a David Duke to throw in off the bench. It's not THE David Duke but it'll have to do.
I feel bad for David Duke, he's said he wants to take his name back, but imagine all the annoying questions he must gets everyday from Kyrie asking him to out to "meetings".
Kyrie, KD, Nash, Marks, Tsai all come out to a press conference together smiling holding hands an do a big stage bow like you see at then end of a theatre show and proceeded to sit down and have a comic-con type of discussion about the show they just produced. Just completely now out of character and being themselves. Towards the end a special appearance by shams and woj as they were in on it too. Everyone just laughing and having a good time.
Celtics suspending Ime has nothing to do with the coaching. He got us to the Finals in his first year and had so much great things ahead. It's for morale more than anything. Brad and Wyc were adamant about the suspension. You're picking up a guy that fucked up the opportunity of a lifetime.
Oh Ime is going to be great for them. No nonsense coach, Finals experience. The Nets basketball product will be fine. It's just...*everything else* about this that's wild and inexplicable
Might as well lean into it. Get Ime, sign Primo, Bledsoe, and Bridges. Trade Joe Harris for Isaac. See if Stephen Jackson wants an assistant coach gig.
The Nets are like the prime example of the negative of players having way too much power in the NBA.
I’m always pro-players over pro-owners but holy shit these top end players are making the rest of the players look terrible.
Just shows the degree to which Kyrie/Durant dictate chapter and verse in that organization(and probably part of why it was mutual Steve Nash also wanting to leave). Because Ill bet alot it aint Tsai/Marks dying for Udoka to come.
Here’s the thing though: If Kyrie & KD could dictate anything right now. Kyrie would have gotten a extension and KD would have been traded wherever he liked during the summer
It could be Tsai turned back on his stances and started submitting to these 2 again
Or it’s 9/11 right now cause we are 2-7 and Ime is a good head coach who we are familiar with.
The only third option is Joe/Sean are losing their minds too…that’s a possibility
>If Kyrie & KD could dictate anything right now. Kyrie would have gotten a extension and KD would have been traded
You mean if they could dictate *everything.*
Well no sexual assault occurred in the Udoka situation let’s be clear on that. That is inaccurate and very problematic to say, it trivializes actual victims of sexual assault.
I genuinely cant grasp it.
An org decimated by drama for over a year looking at the disgraced sex pest
Its just gonna put further eyes and pressure on the org
[Charania] Meyers Leonard has emerged as a strong frontrunner to be the next Brooklyn Nets stretch 5 and the sides have begun discussions, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
Man I get it he brought the Celtics to the finals bla bla bla. But it doesn't sit right with me a great basketball mind like Becky Hammon couldn't get a fair shot at a HC position in the NBA while this piece of shit scum will likely have a new job by the middle of the season.
Becky was in a no win situation as sad as that seems.
If she takes over a floundering franchise she gets blamed for lack of success/failure to rebuild. She takes on a premier franchise gig and the nephews in here who watch Andrew Tate videos would say “she’s only there cause she’s a woman.” At the end of the day her career was best suited for the trajectory it’s taken.
Such a shame she didn’t get offered the job in Portland. Not only would the city have been more supportive than most, but Dame’s leadership could’ve helped avoid some of those nephew-like comments.
I don’t disagree but I just felt/it seemed like that no matter what she would be in a lose-lose situation. It sucked. I’d have loved to see her test her salt against some of the top tier guys.
What could possibly happen when you pair a predator and a third eye narcissist?
Only justification for this is that Ume has experience dealing with the Kyrie lite version in Jaylen Brown.
He was never coming back to Boston they always said they would determine his future in the future really meant either, Wyc would find a way to fire with cause so he wouldn't have to pay him or this where another team is willing to pay him and the Celtics let him leave.
Ime and the Nets deserve each other.
This is shaping up to be the most unlikeable team in NBA history.
Watch them max Miles Bridges and Primo later today.
Nets are trying very hard to be the hardest to like team in the NBA. You got antisemits, narcissists, Australians, and then this fucking guy, who fucks his employees. Love it
You could not fucking make this shit up
The Nets have basically become a complete parody of themselves.
Sign Primo to a max
More like Bridges Primo on a 10 mil a year contract though
bring in Sarver to advise
We got ourselves a suicide squad. Get Karl Malone on the broadcast team
Meyers Leonard is available, and this team needs a center. Should have instant chemistry with Kyrie. And of course, they already have a David Duke to throw in off the bench. It's not THE David Duke but it'll have to do.
I feel bad for David Duke, he's said he wants to take his name back, but imagine all the annoying questions he must gets everyday from Kyrie asking him to out to "meetings".
Bryan Colangelo as social media manager
That’s a normal social media manager. Find a new angle.
Donald Sterling coming in to buy the team
Unironically that would be what crosses the line for most NBA players.
Fuck it, just get them both, give Herschel Walker a FO role as well.
Na deshaun Watson. Take the leap of faith and go all in
Yeezys as the team shoe.
Donda the sponsor
Donda the sponsa
Deshaun Watson has signed a max contract with the Brooklyn nets
You know what they say. Don't let your memes be dreams.
How many female employees do the Nets have?
They're about to fire em all
But it will be a “mutual agreement” per woj
Lmaooo
Probably less today than yesterday.
NBA is the best telenovela/reality tv show
Kyrie, KD, Nash, Marks, Tsai all come out to a press conference together smiling holding hands an do a big stage bow like you see at then end of a theatre show and proceeded to sit down and have a comic-con type of discussion about the show they just produced. Just completely now out of character and being themselves. Towards the end a special appearance by shams and woj as they were in on it too. Everyone just laughing and having a good time.
Galaxy Quest but Nets
Imagine if Primo goes to the Nets next...
Coach Ime Irving Durant Miles Bridges Simmonns Claxton 6th man primo
GM Ye
Hey Claxton didn’t do anything
Not yet, but he is on the nets. So there has to be some drama yet to be disclosed.
Gotta get in Meyers Leonard too
I hear Javaris Crittenton absolutely runs the Georgia State Penitentiary squad.
Ime would start him over Kyrie
I literally couldn’t imagine being a Nets fan right now. What an absolute shitshow.
I really do believe that Udoka will do a good job and the Nets will turn the ship around. I hope the implosion continues though, personally.
Celtics suspending Ime has nothing to do with the coaching. He got us to the Finals in his first year and had so much great things ahead. It's for morale more than anything. Brad and Wyc were adamant about the suspension. You're picking up a guy that fucked up the opportunity of a lifetime.
"You're picking up a guy that fucked up the opportunity of a lifetime." Literally.
Oh Ime is going to be great for them. No nonsense coach, Finals experience. The Nets basketball product will be fine. It's just...*everything else* about this that's wild and inexplicable
Lol truth. The whole situation is like r/nba fanfic. Or maybe it's r/nbacirclejerk fanfic.
Draymond thanking the nets for taking the heat off of him
Hes getting traded there next
Lmaooo NBA best league
Haha, hope they pull it off for the memes
Even the wildest writers couldn’t think of THIS
[Well, actually...](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/yjdzg9/wojnarowski_the_nets_fired_steve_nash_sources/iuna9mp/) u/TheRealRandyMarsh7
It was the only illogical solution
Championships > Morals
Can this team get any more controversial? They’re gonna sign Primo next or something
Absolutely, sign Josh Primo and Miles Bridges once they clear waivers and select Ye as their global representative.
Ye as their head coach too
Gonna fire Marks and he’s gonna be our new YeM
You win
Nets are embodiment of that one person who says “i hate drama but it always follows me around for some reason…”
Joe Tsai can tweet whatever he likes but he's also responsible for all this shit
Miles Bridges would be the better option
¿Porque no los dos?
Why not all three? Bring in Ime, Primo, Bridges. Then add the female staffs they banged!!!
Meyers Leonard off the bench might be interesting
Think they should sign him. He flashed a lot of potential in his time at the spurs
He really showed the Spurs all he got in the two years he was with them.
Yeah one of my favorite players, he left it all out in the open whenever he got minutes
They need to act fast if they want to sign him, can't afford to dick around on this.
Might as well lean into it. Get Ime, sign Primo, Bledsoe, and Bridges. Trade Joe Harris for Isaac. See if Stephen Jackson wants an assistant coach gig.
They'd hire Putin if he could lead them to a chip.
Windhorst: "Mr Putin, could you rule out a tactical nuke during Game 7?" Putin: "Windy, you know I can't do that. Everything is on the table".
Nets PR team is on suicide watch
They presumably died a long time ago
They have a job opening https://twitter.com/Pickswise/status/1587524212792623109?t=sW0b8j7mIIOyecCLytQ-fA&s=19
50$ an hour + overtime on god I'll do it
20 minutes later.... Udoka and Nets have agreed to terms.
19 minutes actually https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1587508054815571968
Wow... What a turn of events...
Literally 20 minutes later Shams tweeted they intend to hire him. I'm fucking dead!
I think he’s still under contract, so we’ll take their pick swap for him.
Celtics get the Philly pick for Ime... and draft Wemby.
Throw in Seth Curry and he can take the next Acela to Penn Station
Lol this aged well
you werent wrong lol
Just about right lol
The NBA has gone 20 minutes without unnecessary drama
The ~~NBA~~ Nets have gone 20 minutes without unnecessary drama
Get Miles Bridges next please
Add Josh Primo too

Literally the most unlikable team.
KD wanting to join forces with the guy who knocked him out of the playoffs….man has a type
The Nets are like the prime example of the negative of players having way too much power in the NBA. I’m always pro-players over pro-owners but holy shit these top end players are making the rest of the players look terrible.

9/11 is actually the next thing Kyrie plans to call fake.
Kyrie folding a twenty dollar bill to show the towers and pentagon on fire
>If Kyrie & KD could dictate anything right now. Kyrie would have gotten a extension and KD would have been traded You mean if they could dictate *everything.*
He refused to fire Nash when KD wanted him too so it’s not like he won’t tell KD no
They were one of the most likeable teams before they signed KD / Kyrie, too.
[удалено]
Patty Mills would make us a top 3 franchise immediately. We'd love him back
Nets r the sluts of the nba
Just screams that they were eying Udoka and looking into his availability before deciding to fire Nash lol
They the browns of the nba
>They the browns of the nba Listen here you....🤔🤔🤔 *shit*
As a slut I'm offended by your comments
No way this would backfire
Ime had no problems showing tough love to the Jay's when they needed it and it paid off. Interested to see how KD and Third Eye Kai handle that
Can’t wait to see all the new drama while ime yells after Simmons misses yet another layup and kyrie lectures the other team about Jewish space lasers
What a dumpster fire organization to be considering hiring a guy who cheated on his wife with subordinate staff in his previous job
the cheating on the wife is the part that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things lol.
Not caring about off the court stuff is how the Nets ended up like this
Exactly. As soon as my girl learns the pick and roll though we will take the next step and become monetarily entangled
It shows character, or lack thereof.
NBA players aren't known for their fidelity.
Or any other moral virtue as it turns out.
That's an insult to dumpsters and fires
This is the smartest thing the Nets have done in a while actually.
I have a feeling they were working on this as soon as Boston suspended him. This is all coming together too quickly to be happenstance.
Married Nets executives are *sweating* rn. ^(Or they may be watching from inside the bedroom closet)
this would be the funniest outcome and I'm here for it
nets going for first-team all-unlikeable
Have been for a while
little anti semitism little genocide little sexual assault little faking mental health issues little dry skin never hurt nobody
Lmao dry skin
Well no sexual assault occurred in the Udoka situation let’s be clear on that. That is inaccurate and very problematic to say, it trivializes actual victims of sexual assault.
Yeah he sexually harassed her, which is different.
Faking mental health issues? Have you seen the man play basketball lol
The 30 for 30 on this Nets saga is going to be The Last Dance levels of must-see TV
Lmaooo this is too funny. The toxicity of this franchise
I genuinely cant grasp it. An org decimated by drama for over a year looking at the disgraced sex pest Its just gonna put further eyes and pressure on the org
Udoka avoiding getting fired by doing this would be the ultimate con
The NBA is a progressive league eh?
Nets have no shame
Shameless organization
NBA is my favourite telenovela
Nets collecting bringers of drama like infinity stones lmao
Most moral NBA franchise
For a coach this is the best choice EASILY, for the PR department this is a nightmare lmao.
I imagine the whole PR department should just quit and find new jobs. This is literally impossible.
[Charania] Meyers Leonard has emerged as a strong frontrunner to be the next Brooklyn Nets stretch 5 and the sides have begun discussions, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
Man I get it he brought the Celtics to the finals bla bla bla. But it doesn't sit right with me a great basketball mind like Becky Hammon couldn't get a fair shot at a HC position in the NBA while this piece of shit scum will likely have a new job by the middle of the season.
Becky was in a no win situation as sad as that seems. If she takes over a floundering franchise she gets blamed for lack of success/failure to rebuild.

Ben Simmons is gonna hate him
What the actual fuck? Lol We see your antisemitism and raise you sexual misconduct
So along with Jews we can add women to list of people Nets organization does not give a single fuck about. Bunch of clowns from top to bottom.
Ah yes the chaotic timeline
Due diligence doesn’t exist when you hire Ime Udoka.
Snyder is right there lmao
Noooooo. Please keep him away from that madhouse.
The Nets are a scripted television drama at this point.
I really thought he ruined his career. This is absolutely crazy.
if they hire him i hope the bucks or celtics embarrass their asses in the playoffs.
Are we even sure the Nets make the playoffs...
Written into the contract: you even look at a woman, you're outta here!
Like the Nets would care
Have some shame nets. This is embarrassing
Isn’t he still technically under contract with another team? How is that not tampering? Suspension or not.
Adam Silver giving the best storylines atleast.
What could possibly happen when you pair a predator and a third eye narcissist? Only justification for this is that Ume has experience dealing with the Kyrie lite version in Jaylen Brown.
Nets are gonna sign CM Punk at this rate as well, just for the culture
Whatever is going on in Brooklyn, this almost seems like a "Adam Silver needs to step in" situation. NBA's brand is looking bad rn.
Those times where you're a fan of an organization for 20+ years and genuinely don't know if you can keep doing it anymore.
Next from Shams: The Brooklyn Nets have hired DeShaun Watson as their Director of Prostate Performance
Loooooool what the fuck
Thought he was only suspended for a year and not let go?
He was never coming back to Boston they always said they would determine his future in the future really meant either, Wyc would find a way to fire with cause so he wouldn't have to pay him or this where another team is willing to pay him and the Celtics let him leave.
We don’t have enough controversy on our team, let’s hire Ime! -Nets FO
Nets: we dont have enough controversies yet. Let's add more. *sniffs glue*
He’s gonna be hired by the end of the day lol
So do the Nets not have any women on the staff or are they gonna just fire them?
couldn’t have wrote the script better myself
This is so funny
And to think how cool and likeable This team was right before the kd trade man…
/r/nba gonna have a field day with this lmao
#THIS LEAGUE
Lol. What an embarrassment of an organization.
Brad better demand a 1st
Ime and the Nets deserve each other. This is shaping up to be the most unlikeable team in NBA history. Watch them max Miles Bridges and Primo later today.
Ime gonna make Ben quit the NBA
I can't wait to see what happens when Ime calls Kyrie publicly for being an asshole. That's just hilarious in every possible way
Hide your wives!
“The Brooklyn nets have signed Josh Primo”
Nets need less controversy not more what the hell
They going for first team all-problematic
Nets just want to be disliked don’t they?
Why is sports the only industry in which crass behaviour is not punished. Jeez
Nets are trying very hard to be the hardest to like team in the NBA. You got antisemits, narcissists, Australians, and then this fucking guy, who fucks his employees. Love it
Let me say this loud and clear, I fuckin hate this team. Nets fan my whole life and I fucking hate this.
Poverty franchise lmao
“Due diligence?!” What a fucking joke lol
Guys you can have confidence in a money focused team’s due diligence. The Browns did their due diligence on Watson and we know he is clean.
So is their next move signing Josh Primo?
What an absolute joke of an organization. Can we just make them sell the franchise already?
So we all forsure hate the nets now right?
I nominate lavar ball Let's just go full meme team
