LIVE DISCUSSION: The 2025 NBA Draft Lottery, 7:00 PM ET on ESPN

3 weeks ago | netsdaily.com | Anthony Puccio

Brad Penner-Imagn Images The time has come. The moment that we’ve all been waiting for — some of us for 15 years, the last time the Nets had its own lottery pick. That ping pong call configuration landed them No. 3 (Derrick Favors), who was later flipped in a trade that landed them Deron Williams. We know how that ended. As Giannis rumors heat up, it’s worth pondering what the implications will be the closer we get to June 25 and the Draft and beyond.

ESSAY: A personal nod to the 2024-25 Brooklyn Nets season and the future

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images I left Barclays Center sometime late in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Exhausted on a hot summer night, I walked slowly onto an old-school LIRR train. You know, those smelly one with the torn red and blue cushions. As I looked around for a seat, a young fan saw my Draft lanyard and flaunted his makeshift Brooklyn Nets jersey that read “FLAGG” taped over “DURANT”. That was the moment it all hit.

LIVE DISCUSSION: New York Knicks at Brooklyn Nets, 1:00 p.m. ET

Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Rebuilding is never easy on a fanbase. Losing is never fun and it’s difficult seeing other teams’ fanbases take over... among all the other things that come with it. There’s a constant tug of war between the fanbase, particularly in Nets World, where this past season consisted of one side of the base rooting for losses and the other side rooting for wins. In most cases, this wouldn’t be an issue.

They do have a chance to play spoiler, if you’re into those kind of things. The Minnesota Timberwolves are fighting to avoid the play-in tournament, a Wild West late-season showdown which has them — and four other teams — within one game from the No. 4 through No. 8 seeds.

Pro-tankers it’s OK, you’re allowed to root for the Nets. The tank is over and the playoffs have been long out of reach. They do have a chance to play spoiler, if you’re into those kind of things. The Minnesota Timberwolves are fighting to avoid the play-in tournament, a Wild West late-season showdown which has them — and four other teams — within one game from the No. 4 through No. 8 seeds. The T’Wolves happen to be the eight-seed entering this game.
