Hello friends, I’m from the nets sub
How does it feel having the 1 pick, I just want to know a fraction of the feeling

Isaiah Hartenstein
I've been a proponent of moving off Claxton for a pick in the 2026 draft and to salary dump for more flexibility, as well as the overall frustration with his lack of development offensively and defensively especially when we thought he would develop as a passer, a point of attack defender, and a better anchor who has impact comparable to Gobert's coupled with switchability. He just hasn't developed that.
Hartenstein is probably not joining the thunder back and its not because hes a bad player by any means, but he has a 30 million dollar team option when max extensions for Jdub and Chet are kicking in for the thunder. They have been looking at Aday Mara in the draft and have thomas sorber as replacements for him.
He's a better passer than hes going to get credit for and cleans up defensively for the thunder as well. If they don't resign him, I like him on a decent number if we can dump Claxton for some assets. Ideally we can get Watson on that 25-30 million number and him on a 20 million AAV.
Below are his stats for the regular season
| GP | MIN | FG% | 3P% | FT% | REB | AST | BLK | STL | PF | TO | PTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 47 | 24.2 | 62.2 | 0.0 | 61.0 | 9.4 | 3.5 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 2.5 | 1.7 | 9.2 |
Reading a lot of subs and clippers/kings articles, after acuff's measurables came out all 3 teams think hes the guy and part of the top 5 with dybantza-boozer. So idk if he'll even be on the board at 6, might need to stick to brown/wagler or cough up a first. thoughts?
Couldn't fit every in here, will add rest in comments
Options are Acuff, Flemings, Brown Jr., and Waggler
From what I see Clips are either taking Acuff or Wagler, saw some rumblings about a trade up from kings to select acuff at 5. Waggler should be the pick IMO at 6 then.
- Take Keaton Wagler (positional flexibility, Jordi is playing through that offense right now) (would not be mad at a toss up between Mikel Brown and Keaton Wagler either)
- Peyton Watson (4 years, 110 million dollars)
- Pick up dayron sharpe, ziarie williams options
- MPJ extension (2 years 80 million dollars)
- keon ellis (3 years 28 million dollars)
Flying up from Florida to see the draft and our guy being taken, but not trying to break the bank with these 300 dollar tickets. I thought 50-70 dollar tickets were sold, when do those go on sale?
I’m watching a lot of Boozer tape and he seems like he won’t really translate in the Nets scheme Jordi is making. That begs the question is there merit to trading down and picking a lower prospect and adding more draft capital? Especially with the new FLATTENED odds picks are going to become more valuable.
