The Nets are the most boring team in the NBA

Paul Flannery and Tom Ziller are discussing every single NBA team in this Flanns and Zillz marathon leading up to the 2015-16 season.

Projected starters: Jarrett Jack | Joe Johnson | Bojan Bogdanovic | Thaddeus Young | Brook Lopez ZILLER: The Nets didn’t commit to a full rebuild because they re-signed Brook Lopez and retained Joe Johnson.

FLANNERY: You have a lot more faith in Brook Lopez than I do, frankly, and I’d wager that Joe Johnson will be suiting up for another team before the end of the season.

What a weird franchise this had turned out to be since leaving New Jersey.

I wonder how Hollins’ reputation is going to take another iffy season, especially given Jason Kidd’s glorious success in Milwaukee.

(Even if Kidd’s Bucks barely edged Hollins’ Nets in the standings.) Remember that it took Hollins time to mold Memphis into the style he demanded — time and a lot of turnover.

The New York media is less patient, and while the Nets remain overshadowed by all things Knicks, there’s going to be pressure sooner rather than later.

The Nets are Brook Lopez’s team I think under new management the Nets could be really attractive to a young free agent looking for a place to become a marquee star.
