Burning Brooklyn Bridges: What the Nets Need to do Now
The Nets are in turmoil. Their talented rookie is hurt, their starting point guard is out for the season, and they just fired their head coach and general manager. What’s worse, they don’t control their draft picks until 2019.
So what now? How can the Nets control the situation and prepare for the future? What can they do to speed up the rebuilding process? Here’s my list of things the Nets need to do before the start of the 2016-2017 season.
Do Not Make a Silly Trade!
A lot of experts think the Nets should seek trades for Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young before the trade deadline. By trading those two, the Nets could get a draft pick (or two) back. But here’s why I think that’s a bad idea.

In order to do that, the Nets will need something that they clearly have not had since they moved to Brooklyn: a plan!
The reason why the Nets got rid of Hollins and King so early in the season is so that they could take the time to think of how they want to move forward in the future. What’s the plan for the team? What’s going to be the team’s identity? Whoever takes over as general manager and coach will have to be able to answer those questions, adhere to the owner’s new game plan, or be able to have the power to put their imprint on the team.
Rumors are already swirling on who the new coach will be, with names ranging from John Calipari and Marc Jackson, to Jeff Van Gundy and Luke Walton. Who ever the new coach is, his system and personality is going to have to be something that can lure big free agents to New York. Last summer, players proved to the league that big markets are no longer the main luring point, and that teams with no viable plans for the future will not get the services of the NBA’s elite talent. Let’s hope the Nets took notice and are making their notes as we speak.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire not only affected the city of New York, but also the rest of the country. It forever changed the way our country would look at safety regulations in factories and buildings. The fire proved to America what can and will happen if we over-look safety regulations and over-crowd buildings. Unfortunately, 146 lives are taken before we fully understand this concept.
“When I got the job, I looked at the program as a bus,” said Hoyt. “I am jumping onto the bus. The program and school already exist, and there is a recent history of not having a successful basketball program. How do I change that for the better and make it my own? The first thing is get rid of all the people that you don 't want on the bus, and that is what I did. Then I looked at it as a scorched earth theory, where you burn everything that preexist to the ground. We got new jerseys, new players, and everything else is dead. We brought in new freshman, and those freshman were going to be foundation of what 's going to come down the road.”
Sports marketing and promotion is vital which the current general manager, Jerry Jones has executed very successfully along with the development of AT&T. Jones is the current owner, president, and general manager of the Cowboys having a significant effect on the NFL team bringing record breaking results and success to this organization. Jones was only being only one of three current general managers to ever lead his team to three Super Bowl Titles. His example of leaderships is one of the most important reasons for the recent success of the Dallas Cowboys. However, the team has seemed to lose their spark causing questioning to the reputation they once

In the last ten years many young and talented high school basketball players have chosen to enter the NBA draft. These 17 and 18 year olds decide to skip college, and instead they choose to take a big risk and enter the NBA, hoping to become stars and earn millions of dollars. In many cases, these youngsters’ careers are a failure because they don’t turn out as talented as they thought to be. They end up spending only a few seasons in the NBA because they are not good enough to compete at that level. Many of them have to move on to doing other things, such as playing basketball overseas, doing everyday jobs, or going back to college to earn a degree.

In the case, “Facing a Fire” prepared by Ann Buchholtz, there are several problems and issues to identify in determining if Herman Singer should rebuild the factory due to a fire or retire on his insurance proceeds. I believe that this case is about social reform and self-interest. I think that Singer needs to ask himself, what is in the firm’s best economic interests. There are several things to question within this case, what should Herman Singer do and why, should he rebuild the factory or begin retirement, if he rebuilds, should he relocate the firm to an area where wages are lower and what provisions, if any, should Singer make for his employees as well as for the community?
Think of the most beautiful city in world. You are walking the streets, taking in the scenery in complete admiration of a city built by men. Then one day you go to sleep, a few hours later you awaken, and that beautiful city is completely destroyed. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was one of the largest disasters in American history (“The Great Chicago”). After many failed attempts to put out the fire, people were left homeless and helpless to rebuild their city. Thankfully, after every tragedy there is always a recovery.
After people start accepting Billy’s and Peter’s new way of thinking of baseball and playing along with it we see a dramatic change in the organizational structure. The main thing that caused people to start believing in the system and wanting to change was when the team start winning. When they starting winning everyone’s opinion changed and they jumped on board Billy and Peter’s idea. Before the organization was highly specialized but after the change it does not seem that way. We see Billy interact with players which he did not do before. We see scouts and Billy getting along and we can also assume that the relationship between Billy and the manager of the team, Art Howe is a lot better. Also we observe that the organization is less formalized. They organization changes the least when it comes to formalization I think but it does change a bit still. We see the hierarchy that was so tall before breaking down in a flatter hierarchy of authority. This goes back to the point that we see Billy interact with

Entering the 2003 season, the Orlando Magic had no fan support whatsoever. Finishing a mediocre forty-two-win season combined with poor fan relations, the city of Orlando gave the Orlando Magic the proverbial “cold shoulder.” According to ESPN’s “Ultimate Franchise Rankings,” which ranks sports franchises according to several categories including fan relations and fan experience, the Orlando Magic ranked twentieth out of thirty teams. ESPN’s franchise ranking coupled with finishing with a rather depressing attendance figure of 87.8% (ESPN Attendance) capacity made it clear that the Orlando Magic would have to d...
Coaches must have special players for this offensive strategy. Luckily Phil Jackson had the greatest of all time Michael Jordan in Bulls and Kobe Bryant in Lakers. Many people will say:“It is easy to win eleven rings when you have individuals like Jordan and Bryant.“ But if you ask me, I think coach Jackson and his strategy made champions of Michael and Kobe. They were just executors for coaches tactics. For example Oklahoma City Thunders have the biggest potential to win a lot of championships. With Russel Westbrook and Kevin Durant only sky is the limit, but they do not have Phil Jackson on the
This is not an acquisition, or a merger, or a takeover. This is a partnership, a chance for competitors to come together and achieve greatness, similar to “The Dream Team” of USA Basketball. No one would ever question the greatness, or competitiveness, or rivalries, of Bird vs. Johnson, or Jordan vs. Ewing. These men were able to put that aside to achieve something remarkable, that has never been duplicated, and likely never will. We will accomplish this and eventually make our opponents look like Angola. Everyone that wishes too, will have the opportunity to contribute to being apart of this. No idea, no matter how small or who from, will go unheard. If you have have something that you feel will improve this company, and it is not heard, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you feel you cannot take your idea to your supervisor, email me. I will listen to you, and whether I agree with you or not,
