Billy King: We Took Our Shot, It Didn't Work

The Brooklyn Nets have taken a step back this season on purpose as they've cleared cap space for 2016.

But their draft pick will go to the Boston Celtics as part of the trade for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.

“We took our shot and it didn’t work,” Billy King said. “And now to see some of these guys develop and to get it back and for us to have the cap space [next summer], we can do it pretty quickly. We want to win but we knew we may take a step back when some of the decisions were made.
