Did they really mess up their future by having a superteam?
I’ve seen several people online say that the Nets should’ve never had a superteam and instead keep their old core
In 2019, The Nets went 42-40 and were the 6th seed and lost in 5 games to the 76ers. The team had an average defense and a below average offense with a -.1 net rating.
They were led by DLo. They also had Joe Harris, Jarrett Allen and Dinwiddie. The rest are just a bunch of role players.
Honestly, If they had kept this core, They would’ve been missing the playoffs or losing in the first round.
being forced to trade Jarrett Allen, when the Rockets didn’t really want him either, was the big miss. None of the other players they traded are really worth caring about.
The Nets traded Allen for a late 1st that turned into Marjon Beauchamp, and sent that pick as part of the trade to the Rockets. Had they managed to retain Allen, that team looks much much different.
