This could be a real breakout year for Bojan Bogdanovic. If it is, it’s not a stretch to see the Nets in the playoffs this year.
I’m actually a little more positive on the Nets than most. I have a feeling they make a move for a PG at some point… Avery Bradley would be awesome here.
couple others things:
-Julius randle won’t average a double double this year.. HA! It honestly might be harder for him to get the points than rebounds. And I think he gets about 25 min a game with Bass getting about 20, with Ryan Kelley sprinkled in some.
-savy move by Adidas. With LeBron, KD, Curry, Irving and Harden now locked up, Brow is next.
-I’m very intrigued by Markieff, and would absolutely do a straight up Patrick Patterson swap. I could also see the Hornets, Pacers, wiz, thunder, grizz, rockets, all making a play for him.
I think the Nets will do everything they can to avoid the tax this year, and they’re right at that line. So, unless they can find a deal that would give them a guy like Bradley and allow them to give up the same amount of salary in return, I don’t think it would work for them.
