I was thinking about how this trade looks now that the Nets have finished using their 2025 and 2026 first round picks that were received in this trade. Below is my attempt at breaking it down, please feel free to note if anything is incorrect:

Nets Received:

Rights to their 2025 first round pick (ended up 8th picking Egor Demin)

Rights to least favorable of Suns/Rockets 2025 first round pick (ended up 28th, Nets drafted Danny Wolf)

Rights to their 2026 first round pick: (ended up 6th, drafted Mikel Brown)

Least favorable of 2029 FRP between Houston, Dallas, and Phoenix

Nets gave up:

Phoenix's 2025 first round pick (ended up 10th, Houston traded away)

Phoenix's 2027 first round pick (TBD)

2 most favorable 2029 FRPs between Houston, Dallas, and Phoenix

Trying to simplify it, the Demin pick at 8 and the 10th pick in 2025 cancel out IMO since the Nets would have likely been able to draft Demin 2 spots later. And if we assume that Houston will be a better team than Phoenix and Dallas in 2029 and therefore have the less favorable pick, the trade currently ends up as:

Nets get:

Danny Wolf, Mikel Brown, and Houston's 2029 first round pick

Nets traded away:

Phoenix's 2027 and 2029 first round picks, and Dallas' 2029 first round pick

It is bad that the Nets didn't get more value of out of the 2025 exchange of picks, but it could be possible that Mike Brown ends up being worth the picks they traded away, especially if Phoenix and Dallas are at least average teams. And I guess we can only hope for the best with Danny Wolf.

Was curious what other people thought of the trade as it stands now.

I was curious if anyone else is surprised by how few attempts there seem to be at making streaming shows that at least somewhat follow the more traditional "case of the week" format.

It seems like any streaming police/legal related show that does come out is the typical 8-10 episode more serialized story about a single subject.

Especially with the success of the Pitt on the medical side, it seems like there would be an audience for a 15 episode more self contained show, but more ambitious than the procedurals that are on broadcast TV.

Maybe I am missing examples of what has been done but it seems like a missed opportunity IMO.

NYPD Blue did have a habit of mixing in some pretty fun puns into the titles of episodes based on pop culture references and/or what happens in the episode. There is a long list of them, but a few that came to mind for me:

"Tain't Misbehavin'" Season 6 Episode 16

"Remembrance of Humps Past" Season 5, Episode 10

"Ho Down" Season 10, Episode 1

What are some that you liked the most?
