They hired a promising GM, who seems to be avoiding the mistakes that plague other big market franchises (and Sacramento). Lance Stephenson and Dion Waiters most probably won’t improve your win total or attendance. And they may disrupt whatever team chemistry you build. I guess Brooklyn will avoid guys like these and try to find contributors in the D-League or the end of a rotation, or do what every smart GM does, and exploit Sacramento’s stupidity (I would seriously entertain the idea of absorving Rudy Gay if he comes together with Ben McLemore).

They already got Lin, and I guess they’ll see what they can get from Lopez and talk with stacked teams like the Nuggets, Wolves, 76ers, Celtics, Magic and others that cast players who might just crave for the playing time the Nets offer.
