re: How could you fix the Nets at this point?

Trade expiring assets for young players with maximum team control-- you aren't going to get premium value, and you are going to suck for a while, but at least try to get multiple competent basketball players for the near term; then, when those guys are on the back end of team control in another 2 years after this (and you are getting your own picks again), *then* you hold your fire sale, with those guys, to tank it out.

If I was hired to be GM of the 2015 Nets, I would vow to Prokoviev tha we would be the worst team in the league in 2017 and 2018. Then we can try to set ourselves up for the 2020s. Things are absolutely that bad.
