I’m intrigued to hear thoughts on the future after 10 games, and what we’re feeling as a fan base. I’ve often found it hard to separate my own enjoyment of watching a fun team/a team that can actually win some games, with the process of rebuild or retooling. I became a fan in 03, so I’ve seen a lot of change during my time, from the league’s worst record to championship potential teams. I still watched a lot of losing with Brook and Dev in 2010, but it wasn’t much fun!

I guess my main question would be - where should the Nets go from here? Keep this team together as best as possible, and hope Cam/Mikal/Clax are a good enough core to win a title eventually? Make a trade for a superstar to try and push for success earlier than later? Offer up players and begin a retool? Full tear down OKC style and amass 10+ first rounders over the next few years?

It’s hard to see this specific core winning a title without a superstar - there is little evidence that’s how you win in the NBA, but man, I hate watching my team lose. It’s all a head/heart conundrum, but I’d struggle with a full rebuild, even if it’s the best long term option. Thoughts? Feelings? Emotions?

    It appears to me we are going the superstar route. I was originally in favor of trading everyone worth a shit that was 27+ but I came around on the idea. Unfortunately, Embiid seems less likely to ask out given the 76ers hot start and cap space going into next year but as a big market team with little control over our pick I am still anti-tank
