The Nets Using The Promo Code "Tank" Despite Not Having Their Own First Round Draft Pick Until 2019 Is Kind Of Hilarious
Such a classic Nets move by those boobs in Brooklyn. The word “tank” can mean one thing if you are in a war, another thing if you are in the clothing industry, and yet another thing if you are a shitty franchise (like the Knicks and the Nets). As I Knicks fan, I have learned to embrace the tank. A few months of pain could pay off in NBA superstar glory. Now it doesn’t look like there are any LeBron’s or Anthony Davis’ in this draft. But winning a Top 3 pick is a hell of a lot better than being lumped in the 10-13 pick range and being stuck talking yourself into some mediocre player when you never had a chance to win the NBA title anyway.
That being said, the word “tank” doesn’t really mean anything to the Nets. You know why? Because GM Billy King has taken an Isiah Thomas-like hatchet to the Nets’ assets and this has happened:
(An overdue thank you to Hank for posting this picture on a Celtics blog a couple of months ago. It has given me more joy than it really should).
So Brooooooklynnnnn, the next time you are trying to peddle your tanktops with a mid-March sale, please just use the code “NOSLEEVES”. At least until 2019. Your fans will thank you. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to ogle at highlights of Jahlil Okafor, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Emmanuel Mudiay. #KNICKSTANK.
