Three Nets moves Sean Marks must make this season Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

The Nets are poised for a very interesting season and are at something of a crossroads with their current roster. Sean Marks has some real, franchise-level decisions to make along the way. The Locked on Nets guys break down three of the moves the Nets must make this season and they revolve around veterans like Spencer Dinwiddie, Royce O’Neale, and Dorian Finney-Smith.

In talking about these three, they look at the rest of the roster trying to suss out exactly what the plan should be for the team now and moving forward. It could include some uncomfortable transactions which could leave the team worse in the short term.

A below-average Ben Simmons could derail Nets for multiple seasons Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

The Locked on Nets guys are continuing with Worst Case Week and this time around they are looking at Ben Simmons. It’s a deep dive into what to expect from Simmons this season and how, in some ways, he holds Brooklyn’s short-term future in what he does on the court.

The talk around Ben Simmons has been overwhelmingly positive this off-season which is a very good sign. But what would happen if he comes out and plays much like he did last year? Which is to say, well below the level of his current contract. The LON guys look at it from every angle and talk about how Ben Simmons’ play this season could dramatically affect what happens with the team next season.

Nets Need Mikal Bridges Bridges To Be An Iron Man, Is It Realistic? Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

The Locked on Nets guys are taking a slightly different approach to this week’s episodes, looking at potential worst-case scenarios for the the team this season. And that starts with Mikal Bridges. He is clearly the most important player for Brooklyn this season and maybe one of the most important in the whole league for an individual team.

Bridges has played every game of his NBA career, but is it realistic to think he can continue doing that? What is in store for the Nets were he to miss time? Or worse, can he keep up the efficiency and scoring he came out with last year following the trade? They look at everything Mikal Bridges and what to expect this season.

The NBA In-Season Tournament Sets Up Great For The Nets Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

With the schedule set for the NBA’s first In-Season Tournament, the Nets know who will be in their bracket and how things are lining up. They will have the Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors, and Orlando Magic to play at various points this season.

That actually lines up pretty well for Brooklyn and they are in one of the weaker brackets all things considered. The Locked on Nets guys discuss the In-Season Tournament as a whole as well as what the Nets chances are in the grand scheme of things. Plus, they talk about how this will actually play out during the season and why teams will likely be very motivated to compete.

James Harden did the Nets a huge favor by asking for a trade last season Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

With the latest news that James Harden is possibly refusing to play for the Philadelphia 76ers this coming season, the Locked on Nets guys take a look back at what got him to Philly in the first place. They look at the timeline where Harden is and was concerned and dive into where Brooklyn stands with draft picks and compensation from that trade.

No doubt about it, James Harden did the Nets a favor, in the long run, asking out when he did. Of course, things went south for the Nets after with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, but there’s increasing evidence that was always going to be the case with Harden specifically.

Cam Thomas says he’d average 25 as a starter. Nets should let him try Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

Cam Thomas has been making some media rounds this summer and becoming more forward-facing about his career and time with the Nets. It’s been a refreshing look at the young guard’s mindset and his expectations for the upcoming season. In a recent talk he mentioned that if he started in the NBA he could average 25 points per game, a big number and yet still somehow believable.

Doug Norrie talks about Cam Thomas’s recent media tidbits and the expectation going into this season. What should the Nets do regarding Thomas this season, is this going to be a breakout campaign and where should his spot in the rotation be?

The Nets future assets are among the best in the NBA, but will they use them correctly? Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

Over the next many years the Nets will control draft picks from the Phoenix Suns thanks to the Kevin Durant trade as well as picks from the Mavericks and the 76ers. But how should Sean Marks and company use these assets as they relate to Mikal Bridges and some other young pieces?

The Locked on Nets guys take a look at where Brooklyn stands over the next few years, how superstars could become available in the coming seasons (Luka Doncic? Joel Embiid?) and what is the best course of action to secure a bright basketball future.
