That was a weird stat. The Nets had a 33 game road losing streak against EC opponents until tonight. They haven't won a game on the road since Jan 2016 against an EC team.

Such awful trades they've made. I think Boston has a pick of the Nets' next year too. Might be conditional, I don't know, still great though, for them. Does Boston have a lot of cap space too? At least we're not in the Nets situation, as far as picks goes.Did the Brooklyn Nets trade their 2017 first round pick to Boston without any protection of it being 1 to 3 ???

when the commie... I mean the Russian bought the nets, he wanted 'instant gratification' (don't we all)... and billy king his gm ... their phil Jackson made the trade for piece and garnett and gave boston a bunch of picks... last years #1, the option to swap 1st rounders this year (unprotected) and they get the nets #1 next year tooo...
in the nets case I'm not sure if u blame billy king as the Russian was def hands on.... in the knicks case, I place all the blame on the zen-master, as I think dolan has been hands off .. maybe he should have kept his nose in it... could he have done worse the phil...
Great deal for the Celts and Danny Ainge. One of the best teams in the NBA and they possibly could get the number one pick who is going to wind up to be Fultz or Ball and they already have IT.The real killer about that 2013 Nets and Celtics trade was that the season before the Nets made that trade they had a 49 - 33 record and lost in 7 games in the 1st round of the playoffs to the Bulls. That team was led by Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez with a bunch of mostly role players otherwise. The Celtics, who they were supposed to be "pilfering", were only 41 - 40 with Garnett, Pierce, and Jason Terry.
After the Nets made that trade in the Summer of 2013 to get Garnett, Pierce, and Terry, the Nets went only 44 - 38 and although they made the Eastern conference semifinals, they got their heads handed to them in that round by a much better Miami Heat team. After that season, Paul Pierce signed with the Washington Wizards and during the next season, Kevin Garnett was traded to Minnesota.
So, in summary, the Nets traded THREE unprotected 1st round picks and the right to swap 1st round picks in a 4th season (which happens to be this season when the Nets are the worst team in basketball), to basically get one season where they weren't even as good during the regular season as they were the season before AND were doomed to get squashed in the playoffs by the Miami Heat led by Lebron regardless of who they had.
Carmelo Anthony trade was bad. But man, that Nets trade might be the worst one in sports history.
