    Regarding Clowney:
    He has the hottest prototype in the NBA. Long wing that can shoot and protect the rim. It's natural to draw attention

    I don't think anyone here have watched all nets games. Hell, not even nets fans watched much of their games. So yeah, maybe he has a lack of motor and mentality, but he is young in a team with no vets and no purpose. It's natural to get lost. It's a totally different vibe in a serious franchise playing alongside greats and where you either perform or you're out.

    I'm loving these nets' fans feedback. I'd totally buy low on that and try to get him for Knecht or in a bigger deal for Claxton. Sign me up!
    Would love Mann too

    Claxton, Clowney, Mann for Ayton, Vando, Knecht, Smith and 2 picks. They free 17M and go after a RFA. Maybe we save a pick

    That gives us depth and lengthy players that can all play with Luka/AR

    Not disagreeing with his potential. But he's not worth 3 first rounders as someone was suggesting.

    And I don't watch Nets games but I have coworkers and acquaintances who are Nets fans and they don't think highly of him. Granted, they're not a winning team or trying to win so not much of a barometer to blame Clowney but he's also not doing himself any favors by having a team with not much expectations and playing subpar basketball. 6'10 with his frame should be average more rebounds than 5 PER36. Good length but what does he really do with it? You would think he'd be a double-double rebounder with how athletic and long he is. And why settle for so many threes? Get your a** to the rim.

    Would a change of scenery and environment help him? Absolutely. Does it mean he's worth gambling more than a 1st rounder on? Hell no.

    i'm not going to go digging, but i'm guessing our local librarian knows the previous exchange to which i'm referring.

    i really don't care what Astros thinks about me. i do think it's telling that this person is trying to use an offhand claim to invalidate all opinions, almost like...it really personally matters to them.

    i'm also not the person who showed up this morning guns blazing on a weird mission to start a fight.

    anyway, luka's a perennial mvp candidate. glad he's a laker. wouldn't trade him for SGA or giannis.
