Nets: Should Brooklyn Make An Attempt For Rudy Gay?

It doesn’t take a lot of basketball knowledge to know that the Sacramento Kings and the Brooklyn Nets had underwhelming seasons last year.

While both teams were unsuccessful, they were unsuccessful in different ways. The Nets were lacking talent, and the Kings were lacking team chemistry and identity.

Last year, the Kings’ nucleus of players included DeMarcus Cousins, Rajon Rondo, Darren Collison, and Rudy Gay. That’s not half-bad on paper. However, they still missed the playoffs by eight games, extending their postseason drought to 10 years (the second-longest active drought in the NBA). The talent may be there on paper, but clearly the team is lacking chemistry and identity, as that talent did not transfer into wins.
