Nets hope new season marks end of an error
Brooklyn Kicks off 2017-18 Campaign in Indiana on Wednesday Night
The Nets are still paying for former general manager Billy King’s disastrous 2013 trade for Boston Celtics legends Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
You know, the swap that has deprived the Brooklyn-based franchise of its first-round draft pick in four of the previous five years, not to mention the 2018 selection, which is currently in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The trade that left the Nets so bereft of talent that they went a combined 41-123 over the last two seasons, including an NBA-worst 20-62 in 2016-17 under first-year head coach Kenny Atkinson.
