While James Dolan's Knicks making a strong push for another title run, the Nets are simply trying to find their way.
With a trio of rookies providing potential upside in Noah Traore, Egor Demin, Ben Saraf, the promise for a bright future is far from guaranteed.
The Nets have a likely deadend leading scorer in Cam Thomas, who is back on the qualifying offer and likely in his last dance scenario in New York.
Meanwhile, another scoring guard in Michael Porter Jr. is making headlines for controversial and clearly braindead arguments online.
The Nets don't have a superstar player to boast and they're forcing Thomas out, while propping up Porter Jr. as a franchise savior and potential NBA scoring leader.
Some may call it wishful thinking. I call it delusional. The Nets are not just watch TV. In fact, they have one nationally televised game all season, and rightfully so.
Other than the development of their rookies and scoring flashes from two players not part of the team's long-term plans, there's not a heck of a lot to get excited about in Brooklyn this upcoming season.
