Okay so the Brooklyn nets 2023-24 roster has a ton on potential. Here is my take on the state of the nets and what should be occurring moving forward. I love this organization and want nothing but the best for my Brooklyn Nets. It may seem negative at points, but I am sharing my thoughts and letting frustration flow.

Point one:

Ben Simmons is a great player, he can guard 1-5 and should be a 12/10/10 player every season for the rest of his career. He is your best ball handler and MUST be on the court at the end of games. It has been too long that spencer Dinwiddie handles the ball at the end of a game, where we run a set to get the ball to bridges at the three point line. Let Ben play the entirety of the last 4 minutes, let him control the ball, the tempo and run the offense. Don’t put Dinwiddie in a spot to be the primary ballhadler after all game having him play off ball. BEN SIMMONS IS A TOP 5 POINT GAURD AND NEEDS TO BE TREATED ACCORDINGLY, TRUST HIM AT THE END OF GAMES AND GIVE HIM THE KEYS TO THE TEAM.

Point two:

Cam Thomas is an all star. He is the best player on the roster. He is 22 years old. Pay him his money immediately. If you can not teach him to play an ounce of defense in the next 2 years then the coaching staff needs to be sent to mars. The man is a walking bucket and the team needs to be built around him. He is a superstar and there is no doubt about it. You cannot guard him, he is too elusive and tricky with drawing fouls. Tonight was the night against the mavericks that he showed he can play within the offense as well as play good defense. I watched him tonight guard Kyrie and doncic better than 90% of our team. I watched him make passes I haven’t seen out of him and he deserves that starting spot. I WILL MAKE A DECLERATION RIGHT NOW, IF WE DO NOT GIVE HIM HIS MONEY AND RESIGN HIM I WILL OFFICALLY SAY WE LET HIM DOWN.

Point 3:

Enough with the bridges superstar talk. He is an excellent player but never will be a superstar. When we got him from phoenix he was a top 5 defensive player with an offensive game still in the works. Since he came here he has forgotten about defense and switched gears to being an offensive superstar. We need to stop pushing him into the role of the closer and push him into the role of being the robin to cam Thomas Batman. He needs to focus in on his defense and get back to his roots. The more we push him to be something he isn’t the more we will be hurting him and our team. BRIDGES IS NOT A SUPERSTAR, HE IS AN EXCELLENT PLAYER BUT NEEDS TO HONE IN ON WHAT HE IS BEST AT.

Point 4 and final:

Build this basketball team around ben Simmons and cam Thomas. Bridges, cam Johnson, finney and Claxton are all great pieces but don’t be fooled. The core of this team lies with a backcourt of Simmons and Thomas.

Love you all and please don’t hesitate to rip this apart, let’s hear your thoughts.
