Fresh Start_59: The NBA’s worst
And, the with the first pick in the 2017 NBA Draft the Brooklyn Nets select… Those are the words that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will be saying come June at the NBA Draft. As a Brooklyn Net fan I am not happy to be a fan of the new Philadelphia 76’ers. This Brooklyn Nets team will be a historically bad season, and how I am perceiving this team I mean the worst in NBA history type of bad.

The roster is made up of a failed first overall pick, an old league shocking star, and former Michigan alumni. Not only that but a bad of misfit toys that have straggled on the island of Brooklyn and have happened to have a basketball jersey on. Brook Lopez is a boarder-line all-star and most likely will not be on the roster at the end of the season. Lopez is the thing of value on the roster at the moment, and could be a part a multi-pick trade that gives a team a nice center and give the Nets picks in the upcoming year. I understand that you have to tear down the tower before you build up the castle. The NBA trophy doesn’t come just with luck. The 76’ers had the new outline to get a great team through the draft and injuries have derailed their success. The Nets will be going that route Philly has been doing for the past five years or so. Kenny Actkinson and Sean Marks won’t be liked most of the fan base for the first couple of years, but it will pay off in the future.

Part of me is happy that one day I will be able to say I am a fan of a NBA champion team, but the other part isn’t happy that the laughing stock of the NBA will be the team that I route for. The team that will be running out on the court will by my estimation will go 0-82, and I am not joking with that statement. The roster that has been assembled is not an NBA roster and that has been proven with the play of the players and their stats. The team is young and that can be an asset, but the in a league of super teams, youth won’t play a factor.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
