Brooklyn Nets
Say Hello to: Wayne Ellington, Willie Green, Andrea Bargnani, Thomas Robinson, Shane Larkin, Chris McCullough, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
Farewell: Mason Plumlee, Deron Williams, Alan Anderson, Mirza Teletovic, Jerome Jordan
’14-’15 record: 38-44
All these fresh members of next year’s Nets, and the only one I’d want is their draft pick (via trade) Hollis-Jefferson. Did they really need to dump Plumlee, or pay Williams to go away? Nice team building. GM Billy King has kept his job, but I’ve no idea why.
This team is going to be scored on like crazy, and could flip-flop with the 76ers.
