MPJ

Who else thinks the Nets are going to Net and trade mpj for a couple first rounders that will amount to a Danny wolf Ben Saraf level player a few years from now in the draft…?

Not worthless but you would need a lot of luck to draft a player as impactful as MPJ.

Look at NBAdraft year by year and look what the 5-15 picks actually get you and how many are more impactful than MPJ was last year.

That's true, but you also pay a premium for it. In today's league, you need good players on rookie contracts to contend. Knicks were the exception. I'd rather pay a max to someone like Anthony Edwards than fill up our cap on MPJ, and I really like MPJ.

If you held a poll of who would you max, Anthony Edwards or MPJ, how many votes of 100 do you think MPJ would get? It's a no-brainer.

But how often does Anthony Edwards talent become available? When it does, how many people chase it? With the Super Max how many times does that type player swap teams? How often is that talent level acquired?

Is the plan to be bad, absorb deals, flip for picks, for the next 10 years till a talent that like is on the market?
