This came happened to come across my feed and listened to this. Good podcast. As a Nets fan I’ve watched Claxton since his rookie season. He’s a special talent. The Nets don’t value big men, often play small and don’t get the best out of them. Just like when they had Jarret Allen and when he was traded to Cleveland became an all star. And Claxton is better than Allen, gave him work in practice when they were on the team together. Claxton’s upside is huge and if utilized correctly he’s already one of the top, most versatile defenders in the league, he has offense as well that hasn’t been unlocked. I don’t know what the Nets plan on doing at all, or what there direction is atp. They don’t want to lose him for nothing and many teams have interest in him. If Portland was to pay him around $22 mil, and talk to him and his agent even though it can be done mid season, if they showed that commitment, he would definitely help Portland with the young players and backcourt that they have.
Trade exceptions can't be used in signing free agents, only in a sign and trade which I don't think has ever happened. We would have to attach draft assets for NJ to even consider the sign and trade.
When I listen to y'all take, it feels like it's about the years past and future. The whole development and multiple seasons and what matters most...lol. Jus copying what Eric said. Love it!
51:14 100% we need to move these vets to make room to develop youth like scoot n sharpe.Sharpe. Also need to replace Ayton in off-season- building long term core big man rotation.
With Sarr potentially getting drafted by Portland, why would we trade for Claxton and risk losing him in free agency. Detroit Spurs and Charlotte already have their C sorted (Duran, Wemby, Williams). Potentially Wizzards can pick him, but we shouldn't trade any player from our young core till we know our draft picks.. Thybulle Brogdon Timelord can be traded imo but again for the right price

Can’t believe the lakers crushed Boston that night
We played the nets and torched claxton recently I’d like him but is he more productive then ayton or reaf? I’m not sure

In the new CBA, trade exceptions can be used to sign free agents.

With his FT percentage, will there be a strategy called "Hack a Clax"?

I think the Nets would just keep if he only gets 20 million a year in his next contract.

Is sarr garenteed to be drafted by us? Also I feel they could be a 4/5 combo
At best we'll have a 14% chamce at Sarr.
Is water wet
Naw ayton been doing great the last 8 games we good
I did a trade proposal ROB and gsw pick for green and bkn unprotected
don't get to see nba Badji, so I checked his highlights
Plays like Claxton.... so you may have a Nic' already
I like Ayton. Claxton is a nice backup, but injury prone. No to Ben Simmons. He's a headcase.
NO
Claxton is overrated
