Nets lose No. 3 pick to Rockets via James Harden deal; Here's what comes next

The NBA Draft lottery in Chicago left many Nets fans sucking their teeth. The Atlanta Hawks, a team that qualified for the league's Play-In Tournament with a 36-46 record in the Eastern Conference this season, emerged as the biggest winners and will be on the clock first at Barclays Center on June 26. The Washington Wizards (15-67) will pick second, followed by the Houston Rockets (41-41), and that is where the latest outpour of frustration in Brooklyn emanates from. The Nets went 32-50 this season, missed the playoffs and just hired a first-year head coach in Jordi Fernandez.
