Admittedly I don't watch the Nets much but I haven't been very impressed with what I've seen of Claxton. How is he supposed to be a DPOY candidate if he can't stop Embiid or even Ayton from getting 35? Sometimes blocks are just empty stats. Mikal did a better job on Embiid late in the game lol.
He’s not really a 1on1 defender down low…he’s too skinny. But Brooklyn had a pretty elite defense with him and Durant both down there blocking shots.

I haven't seen a ton of Nets either, but whenever I do watch, Claxton is a very solid big. Very smart defender and rebounder, athletic, strong, long. He doesn't blow you away with his stats, but he and Durant were a deceptively good defensive big man duo.

Watched the whole Nets game. If nothing else, they’ll be a ton of fun to watch.

That's a better move than the Suns for Jackson. He'll have a more reliable role there and he's obviously trying to showcase himself for a new contract.

If anyone picks up that I seem to be sometimes skeptical of Bron updates
.... Apologies smh lol
I've just always felt like his "team" and media always controlling a narrative but either way this is apparently the current situation

I wonder if we will still try to sign Will Barton. He played minutes at point for Denver the last few years, and the way the team is constructed we might not need a traditional backup point
Guard anyways. If he could give us spot minutes there for 10-12 minutes, then we might be good.

Now that we've informally agreed to sign Ross, we don't have a spot for these guys unless we shank Ish Wainwright or cut somebody like Shamet. Shamet is expiring, right? I would not be opposed to cutting / buying out his worthless ass if Ishbia is okay with paying the bill.

I think Shamet has another year left, Ish is just there for the vibes, he doesn't provide anything. He's SF Alan Williams.
