Frigidevil - December 14, 2011 reply

One can't help but wonder...

if ownership is trying to take out its frustrations with the failed CBA on Dwight by showing they are in control. Costing D-12 an extra year by waiting until after January 1 to trade him would be in keeping with this vindictive interpretation.

mb4th - December 14, 2011 via mobile reply

Posted this in the other thread ... I'm curious to hear opinions:

If the Nets were to sign Humphries, Kirilenko and Extra E (or another depth player) to one-year deals, do you think they’d make the playoffs?

I do — probably a seven or eight seed.

YES!

disagree

give Hump 1 yr at 10mil to clean up the boards like last year. If he does it again, he’ll get a good contract in 2012 when more teams will have cap room, while collecting a larger salary in 1 yr from the Nets than he would make in 3 from any other team.

My gut says probably not.

But it would be essentially last year’s team with Kirilenko and Shawne added and presumably Graham and Outlaw removed…so maybe, considering a full year with Deron.

I’ll say no, but we would be a bubble playoff team, i.e. in the hunt.

And for the record, I still think we’re going to get Dwight, either in Dec., March or July. I don’t think today was a bad today.

BigTom - December 14, 2011 reply

I forgot that Marshon replaces Sasha

I’ll play it conservative and call that a draw. I’m not an AK fan, but of course he’s an upgrade from Outlaw, as is Shawne with regard to Graham. Sheldon Williams is a cipher imo.

BigTom - December 14, 2011 reply

Fair enough.

I’d actually go even further — and some have taken me to task for this — and say that today was actually a good day.

Only positive things can come from today’s results, in my opinion.

(I think we underestimate how good the combo of Williams and Lopez will be, by the way. And you know that I’m big on AK. Don’t expect the Nets to be able to pry him away with a one-year deal. I’m hopeful, though.)

today we didn't even have to sign an AK

I gotta say it was a good day

Yes.

Deron and Brook will easily get us the 7th or 8th

djeterfan - December 14, 2011 via mobile reply

yes

Yes

With the team we had around Deron last season, we would have made the playoffs. Hump, Deron, Morrow, and Lopez already have chemistry and adding Brooks and AK to that will help us bump Atlanta or Philly out, and by the deadline, we’ll be adding Dwight anyway

no

basically the same team as the end of last year except we are adding AK47 (who is hurt right now). Maybe we compete for the 8 seed but I see us coming up short.

kmc336 - December 15, 2011 reply

Trade me to the NETS ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY!!!!!

kupalski - December 14, 2011 reply

Please grow some onions, start acting a fool – aka migraine, strained hamstring, and clear demand “Trade me to Nets NOW”

NetAnalyst - December 14, 2011 reply

He needs to be direct with them

Say Nets or nothing, Dwight!

watch how bad his play gets the longer this drags

i remember melo putting up a few stinkers last yr as this dragged

This thread should have come before the Hump, AK thread as it is history now.

Just making things feel worse.

If BK had known this, then Nene would be a Nets player now.

I feel so sad

I don’t want to return to a 12 W team…i’m scared that D-Will will leave..seriously

#freedwight

Netsking and elone started the #free dwight TT…all of us with twitter lets @dwighthoward and let him know we want him here in jersey. Lets show some support!

Knowing Billy I doubt it

D12

Needs to pull a JKidd migraine. He owes nothing to the Magic and they’re messing with him. They have no cap space to sign new players and nobody good to trade. Worthless ownership.

Special_Delivery - December 14, 2011 via iPhone app reply

Apparently Orlando Management asked for

Barclay’s and Marty MArkowitz and the Nets said “that’s too much”

yeah marty is a keeper.

njnets - December 14, 2011 reply

If you're the nets you don't leave open the chance for

The lakers to swoop in and take Howard, you gotta close this by Friday…. Billy King will considering it made it to owners level so a fourth team will be added….

Come on now, I was right about Nono wasn’t I? Haha

boogeewon - December 14, 2011 via mobile reply

Thank you!

Everyone wants Dwight to take charge and demand a Nets trade but he could say that a million times over and Orlando still doesn’t have to trade him here. They WILL trade him before the deadline and that is pretty much a given. They wanted The Lakers to panic and offer Gasol and Bynum today but they didn’t. Now that CP3 is off the market you think The Lakers aren’t considering giving up both those guys? They are probably discussing it as we speak. I pray that Bynum gets injured before any moves are made to end The Lakers chances of trading for D12. That’s really the only way I think we would find ourselves in the drivers seat…because then our package would then be their best option and they would know it. Then we can start lessening what we offer them and still pull off the trade.

Bynum will get some kind of injury

shortened season, more minutes without Odom, but more importantly, Brook will have a big year and his stock will rise

There's still a belief among NetsDaily officials

That the Magic are OUT OF THEIR FRIGGIN MIND.

Anything can happen

How many CP3 deals were dead and then came back to life?

moem - December 14, 2011 reply

Yeah then the Clippers got shafted to get him...

From the looks of that deal, it’s gonna cost you Brook Lopez, Damion James, Jordan Farmar, MarShon Brooks, rights to Bojan Bogdanovic, 2 2012 picks, a 2014 pick and a couple 2nd rounders to get it done…

Maybe I’m being a little extreme but still…

gtbassett - December 14, 2011 reply

I'd do that without even blinking.

So would I, but your team would be gutted and left with Hedo's albatross contract...

It’s the price you’d pay for the best C of his generation.

gtbassett - December 14, 2011 reply

honestly, its ok. Veteran minimum contracts the rest of the way. Peeps will line up like they did to play for the Heat.

When you can pair a top3 PG with the best C of, like you said, his generation…you do it.

rundmc00 - December 14, 2011 reply

Shawne Williams is believed to be the next player that Nets will lose (to Knicks), all because of Howard-mania.

We could sign Shawne tonight and Hump/AK tomorrow, if only BK would forget about Howard being a FA this summer.

Jerry,please dont lose any sleep over Shawne Williams.

He will come cheap.

Correction: He DID come cheap.

rundmc00 - December 14, 2011 reply

Furious

boiling, corybantic, enraged, fuming, infuriated. livid. maddened, smoking, steamed, raging,

Some of the words to describe my feelings

Paul to Clips appears to be bad news for Nets

Perhaps it’s the Nets fan in me, but I have a hard time believing something as awesome as landing D12 can happen to the Nets. The Lakers have had a dominant big ever since I began watching the NBA from Wilt to Kareem to Shaq. Even the guys they had in between the league’s best were good – Elmore Smith, Divac and Bynum. I have a sinking feeling that D12 lands in LA, and the Nets have to face the prospect of losing Williams.

Seriously hope I’m wrong, but I’m bracing for this since good things rarely happen for the Nets.

SlappyWilson - December 14, 2011 reply

Kobe will damend to keep Pau and Bynum and get more players

He knows better with Kobe and D12 and bunch of scrubs they are second round at best with no depth. But i hear what you saying that Otis wont trade him here only thing we can do is wait and see …. i trust Billy to pull this one out.

What LA did with Odom really upset Kobe and Fisher

I don’t see the Lakers giving up both Bynum and Gasol for Dwight. Simply because they will irritate Kobe.

ZR - December 14, 2011 reply

I don't see how Dwight is going to replace both of them

I’m sorry, but if LA gives up both Bynum and Gasol, I fail to see how it makes them any better (except when Bynum isn’t playing)

most likely they'll try to move World Peace

HUGE distraction

idrise12 - December 14, 2011 reply

that's why no one wants him or his lengthy contract

Does anybody else think that Orlando has the most poorly run management? Upgrading the roster is signing Arenas and Turkey and trading for Glen Davis? WTH??

Interesting that Howard took two days off of Twitter and returned roughly an hour ago.

Not saying it means anything. Just find it interesting.

He was Pissed.

It also appears that he likes tall black girls...

I’d drop a joke, but last time I made one pertaining to this subject, I got banned.

LOL

Just in time to see us rally to get him here

Who needs moisoing posters like in Orlando? NETSDAILY POWER, BABY!!!!!!!

(Hump + AK + Shawne) should be cheaper than what Nene would cost.

And they should contribute to more wins than just having Nene. Look at how many wins can be attributed to Hump alone last season. How many wins did Shawne give the Knicks last season?

By that reasoning, if BK was prepared to give Nene a 4 year contract, then he should be prepared to give (HUMP +AK+Shawne) multiyear contracts. The longer the contract, the less in year 1. They could still be used to trade for Howard after Feb 15.

AK asked for 8 plus mills

and nobady wants him, lets see whats good with that dude

We'll give him $8.5

wow with his bum knees and broken body hell no

He should give discount to Nets and Proky.

If noone wants him at 8 million, then offer 6 million for 3 years.

well look at it this way

CP3 thought the deal to the Clippers was a sure thing, then it was dead, then it was revived and went through. Maybe we have the same luck?!…

Stern >>> Magic front office

Stern pulled a good deal

Eric Gordan is a nice player, plus you put couple players around him they will make it to playoffs. If he stay’s healthy

That really says something in itself

Like I said before all this drama D12 is only going to be traded at the deadline...

Look at Melodrama situation, the Nuggets had offers since the beginning of the season, and they delayed, delayed, delayed to the limit to push for more assets, and they made it, the final offer of the Knicks was way better than the first offers the Nets and Knicks made to get Melo. They will do the same.

Guys, it's all in Dwight's hands

He has to man up and let Magic know, he wants Nets only and lets Lakers know, he’s not signing extension with them.

There is nothing else to it.

If he told his teammates he thought a deal was done,

he doesn’t care about the Lakers.

That may not phase LA

Since it’s well known that they were on his list they could probably call his bluff and trade for him anyway in hopes that playing deep into the playoffs with Kobe would win him over….and in all honesty I think it would. It would be great to see him screw LA and leave them with nothing at the seasons end haha

Can someone send that pic pd Deron and Dwight in red jersey's to Howard

paaleeeese.

It's in Dwight's court now....NOT ownership.....

All he has to do is go into their office, tell them he’s upset about whats going on and if he’s not traded to NJN ONLY by friday while telling them it’s no longer a 3-team race (because he knows Orlando’s ownership is hoping for a batter trade from somebody else which is slowing this process down) he would stay there for the year and walk in the offseason also he would NOT sign an extension anywhere else if they try to trade him at the deadline. Even if we had to wait until next year, which is really the goal of Proky and BK to have a championship caliber team going into Brooklyn, we would actually be in better shape with ALL our assets and Lopez. Trust me, the money he would lose in his bird rights he could definitely make back through “GLOBAL ADVERTISING”. I’m sure Proky can make something up in Russia (where DH and AK were in the summer together) where Dwight could make up some money. Dwight, we need you to step up and take charge!!!!

Sometimes you lose you're superstar

Look we lost Kidd…and trust me Kidd meant more to the Nets than Dwight will ever mean to the Lakers..but Kidd stayed 7 years and moved on. He tried his best and no Nets fan hates him for that. The Magic have to realize that sometimes you’re superstar tries and can’t do it. And then you wait for the next one to come…yes we traded Kidd when he was out of his prime but it defeats the purpose…sometimes you’re player needs to be elsewhere and Dwight needs to leave Orlando and join the NETS

I used to hate him.

But as I got older I began to understand that it just happens. Enter Lebron, I’ve moved on.

Guys, just don't overdo it with tweets to Dwight.

Please!

yea he might start thinking we day dream about him all day............ oh wait..........

yeah, just tell him to ignore JRon no matter how correct he seems.

How would he know which thread to read?

And which comments he reads? Although, if he read the comments here, my over the top comments may finally come in handy.

yes lol

I have that t shirt!

Bought it before last year. There was a post on here right when proky bought the team with it. You can go to entree.com and get it still, if I’m not mistaken. Have worn it with pride ever since I got it

netsmetsgiants - December 14, 2011 via mobile reply

Doesn’t appear to be on sale anywhere now :/

Honestly, that design looks a lil sloppy and the subway line on the ring is pushing it

If Dwight responds to this, it will make headlines:

Breaking News

Johan Petro has fans!!!

Johan may be the surprise of the early season since he has been working out all summer.

yeah he'll def tear it up against the knicks on saturday

My 2 cents

@DwightHoward What the magic are doing to you is ridiculous, its just bad business. You deserve better, you deserve to be sent to the #nets

Source confirms report from @ChrisMannixSI that the Nets are going after Andrei Kirilenko

Bondy sucks

Why are other writers on our own stuff faster than OUR BEAT WRITERS!!!!

fine with it as long as its 1 yr deal

No please.

We need to make the playoffs. Overpriced one year deals won’t do it.

Bondy tweeted that ..lol

I thought it said

“Nets getting Andrei Kirelinko”

oh well he’s the SF available.

how old is AK again?

And wasn’t he suffering from nose and shoulder injuries that were preventing him from starting season healthy?

LOL

All Bondy does is "confirm" other reports

Loser

Does Billy King ever get a chance to sleep?

It’s not his fault we came up empty handed. He was the most aggressive GM in the whole league. Orlando is just impossible to deal with. I hope he doesn’t get any blame for this.

Is it just me, or does anyone else NOT want AK47. Too old, too much $$$. He was studly like 5 years ago.

Would you rather keep Outlaw???

Well… I think Djames is very startable to begin with, so it doesnt matter what I think of Outlaw.

at this point...

I’m ok with anyone on 1 year contracts

BKNfastbreak - December 14, 2011 reply

this<<<as long as they have trade value

I want him

Deron played with him – Nets wouldn’t sign him if Deron didn’t think he was good. Besides, he is also Dwight’s friend. Next up, Gilbert Arenas!

wasn't there something out there which said deron didnt like playing with him?

For one year no issues from my end

We need a competitve roster based on signing some FA’s to 1 year deals leaving flexibility for DH

DH also seemed to develop a relationship with AK47 while in Russia, so that cant hurt either

Yeah but we might have to get back into the trade market with Orlando before deadline. I dont want to load up and hope he chooses us as a FA.

One year deals become expiring

And that can help us with flexibility as long as we dont severely overpay them.

Well thats great for free agency, but what if Dwight forces Orlandos hand 1 week from now and we stupidly signed this old fart for a 1 year for too much and we dont have enough room to please Orlando.

Would rather just go young and cheap until we have Dwight for sure.

We gotta be at 85% of cap minimally

So we are going to have to sign some players to fill out the roster. Hump and AK47 would start at the 3 and 4 for us tomorrow.

Best case scenario, Magic see we are moving on, DH is pissed and they reopen talks before we sign these guys.

Minimally we better put a competive product on the floor for Dwill. Hes a competitor and I dont think he wants to be playing for a lottery team

I just dont get all the AK47 love. This isnt 2005.

I hear you

But who else could play the 3 for us?

Thats the problem. You cant start the year with Travis Outlaw again.

I dont even like Shawne Williams, but at least he is young and can shoot. My #1 pref is Wilson Chandler, which wont happen.
I just dont see the point of an over the hill, injured AK.

Chandler is my preference also

but hes stuck in China.

AK47 is the best available SF out there right now. 1 year is an expiring deal- easy to get rid of

I would rather start James over AK. Easy.

Maybe BK can pull a miracle

You never know.

Who's the guy on ESPN Radio at 10pm slot ?

jeez the Nets are getting BLASTED ….. why do i care… i dunno… why do i listen to ESPN.. i dont know that either….

to sum it up:

-The Nets have struck out on free agency for 2 straight years
-The Nets thought Lebron James was coming because of Jay Z
-The Nets saw Nene not even want to sign with them
-How many games will Deron and Brook win?
-This is the team going into Brooklyn… How will they attract talent ?
-Shawne Williams deciding to play in New York or Jersey… why the heck would he sign with the Nets
-Their Owner is Running for President of Russia…. “The Nets are a Mess”

Shawne Williams has chosen to sign with Nets

oh.

great.

We have 4 Williams' lol

That’s gotta be a record

Yeeeeeaaaa.

First mediocre signing of the year.

sighhhh

i think hes terrible

Great shooter

But really not much else

he's a 8th man on a good team

and a starter on the nets as they are currently constructed

terrible?

he is NOT a terrible player. Very good player to have on your team. With a point like D-Will, you need shooters on the perimeter, and the Nets have two of the best in the entire league. Love this signing.

perfect stretch 4 to play with d12

yeah okay Jerry

Chris Sheridan
CP3 will definitely be a Knick in 2012, regardless of Paul opting in to play for Clippers in 2012 or any other team for that matter. At the end, its all about the amnesty clause of the new CBA.

Why does he love the Knicks so much.. and more importantly, what the heck is he saying?

Chris Sheridan is Dumb and Dumber

Left side of the brain= dumb
Right side of the brain= dumber

That has to be a joke.

The Knicks can’t amnesty anyone else.

Does he possibly mean that..

The Clippers would amnesty CP3? I have no idea what he means by it.

He cannot be serious.

It would be an honor

to have Travis Outlaw participate on this site.

what if...

Number 1) that’s probably NOT a good thing for any player.

Number 2) but if it were anyone in the team I would hope it was DWill. Honestly, he just strikes me as one shrewd dude… He probably would find all of our chatter pretty amusing.

Ammo – Career Year from him.
AK – No flashy numbers, solid defense, rebounding.
HUMP – Similar numbers to last year, a near double-double per.
Lopez – 22/10

Hmm

There are reports we’re looking to get AK & Hump and that’s his “prediction”? He really reached there, didn’t he. Really brought some insight to the matter.

Why you consider that we can't sign Howard? It is ready will argue that in the morning news that Nets prepare the new offer.

I count at least 3 nets fans he has responded to.

NetsMets4Life - December 14, 2011 reply

I told you guys that tweeting BK gets results.

I had been telling BK how embarrassing it would be to let the Knicks get Shawne Williams (lol).

I think Shawne's a good pickup. Dwight could kick out to him and Morrow and Brooks.

Jbller3 - December 14, 2011 reply

Until the nets sign kirilenko or hump i will continue to be optimistic about getting dwight now

joeyb896 - December 14, 2011 reply

I also told BK that (AK+Hump+Shawne) would cost less than Nene and would produce more wins.

By that logic, it is worth it to sign them more multi-year deals, since Nets were willing to sign Nene to a 4 year deal.

Let us see if AK and Hump are Nets buy tomorrow (and Outlaw is gone).

If they are willing to take one year deals..

That makes the most sense.

If they are grossly overpaid for 1 year deals then there wouldn't be enough left to make the playoffs this year.

Is it true

that we in essence offered 4 first round picks for Gerald Wallace?

sickening thought isn't it.....

Surprised i haven't seen the Shawne signing on twitter yet

But a very good signing if true he played Lebron physically last year and did not back down.

knick fans are bumming on ESPN radio about it

Daughtry early on said…Ok, choice between signing with Knicks or Nets…cmon (laugh)…

Great 3 point shooter too

Hit a lot of big shots. Knick fans loved him.

wow

How does dwight go back to his teammates after telling them he’s gone…. the is getting crazy. You know the Orlando FO is loving that terrible CP3 deal!

NO LINKS IN THE SUBJECT BAR

no its not

hahn just tweeted he had dinner with allan houston and decision to come in am

I think J-will

Will be serviceable once his body gets used to the NBA lifestyle, kind of like what happened to Joe Mcknight with the Jets last year.

I don't know about the rest of his game, but he seems a good finisher.

rebounder as well

yeah, his numbers say that, but many past players had that numbers in college and then they can't even play in the league.

not holding my breath

showing up to camp out of shape as a 2nd round pick rookie raises a lot of red flags.

Let's get Eric Gordon next year!

how you guarantee that?

Have you been at the restaurant? lol

really, dude?

fine, i THINK that's what happened, and i say that in a somewhat joking manner.

if i must be totally serious at all times

lol

Wouldn’t put it past him

Some website has Brooklyn Nets DH12 Superman t-shirts for sale: http://beertag.spreadshirt.com/-A8649696

If L.A. does trade for Dwight, he’d still become a free agent to get the best possible contract (same with Brooklyn). And during that free agency, the Nets would be sure to show him why a younger team with all of its pieces intact would be preferable to an L.A. team with an older Kobe and no Pau/Bynum. So even at that point, don’t lose all hope.

No chance

The Lakers would be able to offer a better contract if they traded for him. We have to assume if LA trades for him then our opportunity to get him is lost.

And that's why we have to get this done now

BK and Fegan have to close the deal.

not true

if D12 is traded after Dec, then anywhere he goes he loses his Bird Rights

And just when we were getting Knick fans mad

We need to see if Martins or anyone in ownership has a Twitter

If by chance they did, let’s take this to them, too.

no

we dont want dwight to see we are bullying the magic FO

NBATV wouldn't announce a signing unless it was a done deal.

Who are you going to believe, Alan Hahn or NBATV???

Did NBATV announce it?

Or did Daughtery misread it?

Don't know.

Bondy's Predicted Starting Line Up Thoughts?

I'll take it

if it means dwight later on

Only prob I have is Hump starting.

The guy is so overrated on defense and offense.

Sign me up

We can certainly tread water with that lineup until Superman comes

Chris Sheridan
If Chandler does not work out, Knicks can theoretically amnesty Chandler and go after CP3 in 2013. They would also have the MLE at their disposal.

You can't amnesty people you--it's not even worth it

Does he read the rules?

D Will to Succeed - December 14, 2011 reply

lol, correct.

wait you can amnesty a player every year?

NOPE

and you can only amnesty players on your current roster when the CBA was ratified.

I am convinced, Sheridan is a messed up drunk

Dude has a face only a mother can love

UM...what? u cant amnesty new contracts i thought

He didn't write that, where do you see that

is sheridan on drugs tonight?

or just trolling. he’s been writing a lot of silly stuff

they already amnestied chauncey

Couldn't Sheridan theoretically amnesty himself from his website?

LOL YES

No they can't u idiot Sheridan

You can’t amnesty guys signed after the lockout ended. This is why he was fired.

They can amnesty Chandler

Every team gets two.

READ THE CBA YOU GUYZ (xoxo)

hint: stretch amnesty.

They aren't going to waive Chandler just to save some cap space short term.

whats funny in all this is that..

we havent even talking about the part where he thinks Paul will sign for MLE

You can whatever you want in Knicks Land

Lol, they only can amnesty Anthony or Stoudemire.

Unless Amare knees fllas apart the knicks will never use an amesty bigger then 1.5M. lol

cant even do that

they amnestied billups

Stretch amnesty

well ive never heard that referred to as a stretch amnesty

its just the stretch… but i see what he means now…still doesnt make sense tho

9. Other Contract Rules
• For new contracts, salary of waived players to be "stretched" for cash purposes such that the player’s remaining protected compensation would be paid over twice the number of remaining contract years plus 1 year.

From page 6 of 8 of the CBA proposal that was ratified.

So if the years remaining on Chandler’s contract are far enough, you could reduce his cap hit by half (but you do have to waive him).

yes im aware of the rule

i just hadnt seen it referred to as the stretch “amnesty” and i dont see how that would give the knicks enough money for CP3

They aren't going to waive Amare.

but he is really confused

They already amnestied Billups!!! LOL

stretch amnesty

what's stretch amnesty mean?

I lost it with sheridan

@sheridanhoops did u make an attempt to learn the new CBA? all the things you said about chandler were wrong they cant use amnesty twice

This is all Dwight has to say:

I will not sign with anybody else than Nets and if you don’t trade me before January 1st, I’ll go public and say that I will not sign with anybody but Nets. By doing that Magic has no option but to trade DH12 now. If they don’t and wait for trade deadline, Nets do not need to do anything and magic is not going to get anything of value.
Magic also will not get cap relief if they wait till trade deadline. DH12 has to be extremely pissed if Magic do not trade him by January 1st because he is going to lose boatload of money if he is traded by trade deadline or sign as a free agent in2012. Unless he wants to stay with Magic, trade before 1st is in DH12’s best interest.

Enigmah5 - December 14, 2011 reply

I'm tired of the false reports, I'm going to sleep

Did you read any of the comments made by Magic fans?

Haha they think trading him to us now has absolutely no advantages so waiting till the deadline makes perfect sense because our deal might look better. They are missing one of the most important aspects of this trade though. Our cap situation isn’t going to be looking better if they wait. Unless they’d prefer to be stuck in cap hell for a few more years at least

Damn....did you see the comment by a fan called Jtyler998?

He basically compared Proky to the Villain in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

And then he referred to Jay-Z as a former child crack dealer turned rap mogul.

……true story or not? lol.

The Jay part is true

If my understanding is correct -

we cant trade players signed to 1-year deals so how exactly would we be able to get Dwight in a midseason trade if we cant push these expiring contracts on them?

we can't trade players with 1 year deals? why? new cba rules?

ppl kept bringing up some rule about it. I'm not sure the details. Hopefully some with more knowledge can ellaborate.

the only thing I know is that we can't trade players during 60 days after we sign them

false

we just cant trade them for 60 days after they sign… still plenty of time to trade them b4 the deadline

o is that the only rule. I couldve swore there was something about 1 yr deals.

OH well.

you only cant sign guys on 1 year deals after their first 4 year rookie deal is up when they are restricted free agents….. like david lees final year on the knicks or jeff green on boston this year…. and you CAN trade them, but you need their consent because they would lose their bird rights in the deal….doesnt effect hump or ak47 or any other vet

LMAO!

If that was a copy and paste of the actual tweet then I would retweet and point out your typo, otherwise that makes us look as stupid as he is lol

Beasley TIme?

Okay- so now that we’re officially unrelenting in being aggresive in our approach for improving our roster. Its time to make a somewhat risky gamble one that could payoff incredibly for us. Lets find a way to acquire Mike Beasley. Right now- the Twolves are going with D-williams and Beasley is expendable. Hes the perfect solution at the 3….hes only 22 and he averaged 19.5 points a game and 36 % from 3 point land at 6’10…he could be like a Carmelo clone for us with D-will running the pick n roll with him and Lopez would be a deadly combo. We can sign Hump..and still fenaigle a multi team trade for D12..as the ultimate goal. If not our lineup COULD look like this

Dwill
Morrow/Brooks
Beasley/Ak?/Djames
Hump/Jwill/Djames
Lopez/Petro

who are we giving up to get him?

1st round picks…we almost had him a while back for CDR and a second rounder. I think 1st rounder plus farmar, outlol…would get the job done. Kahn would bite- but we could also use him in a D12 trade. Ideally would be great to find a way to have a core of dwill morrow beasley dwight- makes us more than a 2 man team.

lol who would want to take outlaw?!

More like Beasley time for the Magic

instead of the Wallace deal, give the Magic Brook, Beasley, 2 firsts.
Give the Wolves a First and Damian James.

So we give two firsts for a guy we coulda had for a 2nd?

More Dwight silliness

Im well aware that the nets screwed the pooch on that one. Doesnt mean he isnt worth those first rounders now.

How about for just a first rounder and maybe Farmar?

pinglocal6 david pingalore
@JoshuaBRobbins @JohnDenton555 howard’s agent visits Amway Center. Sources “strong arming” Gm Otis Smith clickorlando.com/sports/Pingalo…

ORLANDO, Fla. -

Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore has learned through two sources that Dwight Howard’s Californina-based agent, Dan Fegan, was at Amway Center Tuesday trying to get his client out of Orlando immediately.

The two sources do confirm that Howard wants out of Orlando — and staying is not an option. Sources do confirm his agent continues to make that point each time he talks with Magic General Manager Otis Smith.

Pingalore also learned that Howard’s flip-flopping of possibly staying with the Magic is a ploy to steer the criticism off of the All-Star center. The sources say Howard is growing tired of not yet being traded.

Pingalore’s sources used the term that Fegan is “strong-arming” the Magic to make a trade, with Howard’s first choice being the New Jersey Nets.

On Wednesday, a trade rumor on ESPN.com was nothing but a decoy stirred up by Howard’s agent, according to Pingalore’s sources. They confirm the so-called multi-team trade that would send Howard to New Jersey, and also involving Portland’s Gerald Wallace coming to Orlando, was made up by Fegan.

The sources believe that Fegan is trying to create a buzz for his client, Howard, in order to pressure a trade.

A report tonight on Yahoo! and ESPN.com said the Magic told teams they will not field anymore calls about trading Howard.

However, Otis Smith said after practice,“We’re going to continue to talk to every team out there and that doesn’t mean anything is going to happen.” Pingalore’s sources say the Magic are not happy with Howard’s agent and that the Magic put out the leak about no more calls from teams. The sources described the Magic as digging “their heels in.”

The sources also confirm that Smith has at least 15 trade requests he is dealing with from NBA teams.

Howard did not speak to the media Tuesday, sources say, because of the direction he was under from Fegan not to do so.

On Wednesday Howard spoke to the media, but did not want to talk about the drama surrounding the team.

The Lakers continue to be an option for Howard, however Pingalore’s sources confirm that the Lakers’ center, Andrew Bynum, may not be as attractive, because the Magic have learned Bynum’s knees are not healthy

Wow now thats interesting

But pretty much how I thought things were going behind the scenes based on the Melo stuff. The bynum stuff sticks out to me if they indeed are worried about them.

strong arming

woah

TinySarabia - December 14, 2011 reply

wow

The Lakers continue to be an option for Howard, however Pingalore’s sources confirm that the Lakers’ center, Andrew Bynum, may not be as attractive, because the Magic have learned Bynum’s knees are not healthy

Who tweeted that?

How ignorant can ORL be if true?

Do they know that Lopez never missed a game in 3 years?

read it carefully Jerry

how did they not know that before lol

maybe they asked for a medical report?

but i'd think that bynum's knee problems would be known all around the league already no?

this would be awesome

pleaaasseeee be true and not just speculation

they just now learned his knees are not healthy?

the guy has only played in 60% of his team’s games in his 5 year career!

GrandKenyon6 - December 14, 2011 reply

WOW. BIGGEST NEWS IN A WEEK!

Bynums knees are not healthy.

That's a helluva lot of news..

Good to see the magic frowning in Bynums knees, about damn time. Also good to see Fegan is fired the hell up.

Special_Delivery - December 14, 2011 via iPhone app reply

Get this f----ing done. Now.

This is hopeful

What’s the reliability of this source?

Bynum

If his knees aren’t healthy and in a shortened 66 season, i think that’s a positive for us. I would never wish any harm on any player in the nba (except maybe alonzo mourning) but highly likely he’ll miss a lot of games. Lopez needs to step it up to 25 and 10 this year (i know this is high) stay healthy and use the fact that he’s stable and young to his advantage. This would make our trade chips much more attractive come trade deadline.

strong arming by fegan + dislike for bynum =

Nets trade soon. We hope.

Tylerguy42 - December 14, 2011 via iPhone app reply

LOL worst reporter EVER!

Trade was just made up?? Lol yeh ok

yeah, seriously

citysinner - December 14, 2011 reply

That would also mean that

Dwight’s comments and reaction was also made up

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't

Who cares? The guy gave us hope. Let’s just take it.

Ballgame boys

What did I tell you these past few days? Fegan’s been working Otis and ownership over. ‘’atrong-arming’‘. BK just needs to hold out until Fegan breaks them. He’s coming guys. He’s coming now.

until I see the thread that says Superman is taking flight over Newark in the next 2 days, I will continue to think its going down at the deadline

JimmyLips - December 14, 2011 reply

Jimmy

Read what it says. How can he stay there for all those months? He’s miserable. Why do you think Fegan is pushing this? He’ll be such annoying moiso, ownership may just want to trade Dwight to get Fegan off of Otis’ moiso.

The cap relief scenario only works up until Midnight Friday. After that, the parameters of the deal change completely. That is why I believe what I said previously.

Wow

The sources also confirm that Smith has at least 15 trade requests he is dealing with from NBA teams.

I guess a lot of people want to rent Dwight.

They just found that out about Bynum? Who is runnin the show over there? Otis Smith?

Here is the tweet regarding Shawne Williams (Billy King must have been working on this after his dinner with the Knicks)

Yeah but Bill retracted it it on the radio

Knicks can't offer more that mini-MLE of 2.5 million for 2 years.

Nets could offer 2.8 million for 2 years.
It is up to Billy to finish the deal if he wants to.

Then move onto AK47 and Hump by tomorrow.

BrettGardnerLF - December 14, 2011 reply

hope he is not our starter

Why do we want Williams again? He is worse then Outlaw!

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4145/career;ylt=AufkwiLEO2d2f9CEiRpzZ9jPaB4

WOOOooooo! So excited about this!

beggers can't be choosers.

Damion James

Not much better, but way more consistent...

Better 3pt shooter, better defender and knows his limitations, besides he’s not going to make 7M.

For Outlaw to be more offensively capable then someone else, thats saying something.

He hits 3’s alright. Thats all he does. We have one of those guys in Morrow who does it much better.

Why have you ignored his defense?

Morrow can hit the 3, but can’t even defend SG. Shawne is a big body, who do you want to defend SF and some PF?

He should come here

HE OWES THE NETS

One of Orlando's beat writers

was just on ESPN Radio. What he basically said was he does not believe that Dwight is off the trade market. Dwight has made it clear that he wants out, and he’s not convinced that Dwight will be with Orlando by the time the season starts.

HOWEVER, he called the Nets offer of Brook and some first round picks “a joke,” and that the Magic should hold out for the Lakers to offer Bynum and Gasol.
Not going to lie, I somewhat agree. In order for us to get Dwight, we’re going to have to bring in a 3rd team and somehow get a guy like Josh Smith or Monta Ellis or Kevin Martin to Orlando. As Claud posted above, apparently the ridiculous trade rumor of 4 first round picks going to portland for Wallace was made up (which is a relief), but Billy has got to get creative now if he wants Dwight by the time the season starts.

Now is the time to pounce!

where have u been man

gerald wallace was heading to orl in the latest deal

where have I been?

I’ve been following this site nonstop for the last week instead of studying for my finals. If you read what Claud posted above, Dwight’s agent, Fegan, made up the ridiculous trade rumor involving Wallace. Nor did I ever say that Wallace was for us. I said that Billy has to bring in a 3rd team, and since the Wallace rumor was not true, he has to get creative.

Nonsense

or!

just MAYBE PING IS A MORON

maybe

kevin martin can be head easier then wallace can, 4 first round picks for wallace? CMON MAN

meant to write

can be “had” long day my mistake

Bynum and Gasol will win you what?

a slice of a slice of a slice of a slice of a slice.....which becomes almost nothing

netsball - December 14, 2011 reply

Old PF and guy with bad knees

vs. guy who scored 20 PPG against double and triple team D. Obviously knock on Brook is his rebounding.

NDTony - December 14, 2011 reply

I don't think they will win you anything.

I was just writing what the Orlando beat writer said. It still baffles me that these so called “experts” truly believe that Bynum is better than Lopez. I have yet to see anything over the last 3 years to prove Bynum a better big man than Brook.

Why does EVERYONE who talks about the Nets trade

act like the cap relief doesnt exist. That is as valuable as a player or players worth the salary relief….That is a BIG deal in the mix and this sportscaster ignores it? Weak!

Because we are the Nets

and no one ever wants to admit that we actually have a chance to become a good team. It pains the experts to give us any compliments.

It’s as if their memory from just a few years ago, when we made the playoffs year after year with Kidd, has vanished, and their only thoughts are of our 12-70 season. It’s ridiculous

Because they FAIL

At what they do. Must report facts and keep unbiased to gain trus and respect. It’s out of reach for a lot of them.

Special_Delivery - December 14, 2011 via iPhone app reply

because that is math, you cant watch math on a tv as easy

Agree 100% bro

Don’t think BK isn’t working on this. Remember, he is the king of multi-team trades.

So at the end of the day...

We’re right back where we were yesterday?

Yep Cc

Just waiting to see if BK can make an improved offer to get ownership to budge. Combine that with Fegan putting the screws to the Orlando FO, and we could see a deal in a day or two. If Outlaw is amnestied, you know.

I am starting to get very annoyed

at our offer being called trash. Lopez is younger, healthier, and better than Bynum.

Also, why would Dwight want to play on a team that just lost their second, third, and fourth best players, with their best player being an old Kobe?

look what NO just got

nets offer is a joke

Wallace and Lopez?

hmmmm.

Lopez + Wallace > Bynum + Gasol, no?

Bynum will go down.. better if you just put Gasol

Lopez + Wallace >>>> …… + Gasol
YES??

and Brook

will only get better playing with Dwill

Of Course

if that is so

then so is the Lakers offer.

Stern stopped the first deal

BennyandtheNets - December 14, 2011 reply

That misses the point

You can’t expect to get equal value in these trades. You can get the best that the teams that you are willing to sing with can offer.

Lopez is much more valuable that Gordon

Murse Mike - December 15, 2011 reply

We are one of the teams that have become the laughingstock of the NBA. Nobody really thinks that highly of us

….be it other teams, other fans, or even the media. It’s always been that way. Nobody gives us credit. The only way to combat that is to start winning games and have the eff ’em all point of view.

Screw everybody else. Getting Dwight means more than mere marketing and wins….it forces others to recognize us even when they don’t want to. Nobody cares for Brook, and they never will until he goes to a big market team.

If Brook was on the Lakers,

and we had Bynum, everybody would be saying Brook is better.

yup

Lets get this done already!!!!

This is beyond annoying…I must have logged into Netsdaily 10000 times in the past 2 weeks. Please just make the trade happen so I can live my life!

Hes awful. Probably the worst journalist in the country. Dan Fegan just MADE UP a trade ??

Lol

agents don't leak info?

they do

but there is no way every big media writer, including berger and woj jumped onto a made up trade.

JimmyLips - December 14, 2011 reply

I doubt he's making it ALL up

Guy just can’t publish something like that out of thin air. Could be sued by Fegan, Otis or ownership if he did.

Yeah if he made it all up that would create some serious issues

When Wallace and the rest of the players involved in the deal saw on ESPN that they may be on the move they arent going to take that lightly. Any one of these teams couldve had a Lamar Odom situation on their hands. What a nightmare that’d be for them

And that's another reason I think it happens

It’ll be just like Lamar, only it’ll be speculation and/or rumors.

What sucks is....

Not one mention of Brooks development training with Hakeem….Not one mention of how Marshon looks…In a “normal” world, we’d be getting excited about the possibilities of what we have….Now, we just lust for what we dont…

In the superteam world of the NBA, I guess we can’t be blamed…It just sucks that we have spent nearly 2 years on this garbage though.

I'm excited to see Lopez grow...

Interesting to read Dave D’s article… makes me want to keep Brook around and get rid of the rest.

I have always thought Brook has the ability to be a top player

but unless he gets a nasty streak, its not going to happen…Mabye a guy like Kobe can bring it out in him…..

Hmmmmmmmm….new 3 team trade idea???? LOLOLOL

BennyandtheNets - December 14, 2011 reply

I had always thought Lopez was overrated

Now I think he’s extremely underrated!

Something VERY critical in the Bynum vs Lopez discussions:

In one year Lopez becomes a restricted free agent & Bynum becomes an UNRESTRICTED free agent.

Do you think Bynum will stay in Orlando? Would he rather go to a bigger market or contender?

Lopez being a restricted free agent + having Disney around will literally stay as long as he possibly can in ORLANDO

So is 32 year old Gasol + weak knees aka will leave Bynum better than Lopez+ a solid player like wallace + offloading bad contracts + picks?

Is Gasol REALLY going to make the Magic a contender? REALLY? LIKE HE DID IN MEMPHIS BEFORE KOBE? haha

I still say DH12 comes to us, I don’t know when but I hope soon.

my .02

Otis is just looking to give himself enough time to get out of the country

Bynum will stay with the Magic

They are committed to keeping him with the Magic.

How would

Deron

Morrow
AK47
Hump
Lopez

compare to what Deron had in Utah all these years?
they seemed to make the playoffs every year.

yeah, but they had Boozer, Okur and Ak on their prime.

Hump wil give us 15 and 10-12, AK is still more than serviceable if he can stay healthy,

Lopez will get between 20-23 pts and 8-9, and SWill can shoot and play between the 3 and 4, like AK and James. It gives us players that can play multiple postions, giving us different lineup combos.

Isn't he injured now?

no way Hump is going average 15 a night.

He can be a double-double machine if his divorce hasn’t affect him.

Stupid CEO thinks he can keep him, Otis IMO is ready to move on.

read the orlando news article

So we're trying for Hump and AK now, right?

Shawne Williams too

Shawne has to come first, because he is making decision shortly, if he doesn't already have an agreement with BK.

hey NI what do you make of the Orlando News article

claiming that fegan strong armed the magic?

i have that question too

NI, in the last CBA, a player on a one year deal had the right to veto trades.

Do you know if that is still in the new CBA, will the Nets try to sign players who would not veto them?

https://webfiles.uci.edu/lcoon/cbafaq/salarycap.htm#Q88

the only 1 year deals that have the right to veto are qualifying offers….. think david lees last year on the knicks or jeff greens deal wtih boston now, even tho those were for more then the QO. They have veto rights because theyd lose their bird rights if traded. AK wouldnt have any bird rights, but hump prob would

biglescobar - December 15, 2011 reply

In addition, teams cannot trade players under the following circumstances:

Without the player’s consent when the player is playing under a one-year contract (excluding any option year) and will have Larry Bird or Early Bird rights at the end of the season.

So we make them two year deals

With 2nd year a team option.

Netted - December 15, 2011 reply

Yeah. That's probably the move here.

vincent manzull - December 14, 2011 reply

d12 man. have faith we came so far.

If Nets sign Shawne soon, it will mean two other very important things:

1. By knowing the terms of the contract, we would know BK’s strategy (re: Multiyear contracts).

2. Outlaw would already be expendable (Amnesty).

Outlaw is gone

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Wait... they're amnestying Outlaw???

really???

With DJames being the only other Nets forward under contract (besides JWill), Shawne would seal Outlaw's departure.

And if you and others are so confident that BK is going to wait until July 1 to get Howard as a FA, then Outlaw could still be Amnestied at that time.

doubt it

Seriously!?!?

RandyOreens - December 15, 2011 reply

Missing another Williams--

Sheldon lol

thats who I was talking about, I doubt Jordan Williams plays

RandyOreens - December 15, 2011 reply

Take out AK he is comanding too much money.

You left off Gaines, Petro and Jordan Williams.

Playoff team.

If few injuries and some players exceed expectations.

We were saying the same thing after signing Troy Murphy last season.

We didn't have Deron Williams last year.

My feeling is that the best hope to get Howard is for BLopez to well exceed ORL's expectations of him.

But then Nets won’t be able to absorb salary.

expiring deals kind of do the same

Benl1 - December 15, 2011 reply

Hump is a desirable contract. Not an expiring.

here is a player who's putting his best foot forward to not create enemies

u gotta love the wide eyed fake smile

netsball - December 15, 2011 reply

But his stomach/intestines must be churning out smelly one's during this stressful time.

Vince Carter had to hold his nose on the bus.

i am still hopeful

for a dwight trade pre – season

Should be interesting to see what tomorrow holds...

Signings? More epic failure? Billy King actually speaking?

What is Orlando's Logic?

Lakers already said they will not give up Bynum and Pau. How could waiting till March help them at all? All they are doing is delaying their rebuilding/recouping/mourning time. He’s a goner anyway. The sooner the better no?

thats the way i look at it

Its ridiulous how delusional they are…they get a GREAT rebuilding package with what we are offering

domininaldo1981 - December 15, 2011 reply

Now that CP3 is a Clipper

I think Lakers will think twice on that stance. The fact that Kobe is upset with them (live in LA, so all over the media here) may also put pressure on Lakers. Point blank, if Lakers don’t get Dwight and he ends up in Jersey, guess who the next superstar to demand a trade is going to be?

i thought he doesnt want howard

he wants to keep gasol and bynum

Prash Ramani - December 15, 2011 reply

Plus, the latest article says orlando is now first

realizing the Bynum is damaged goods. Dwight would rather be in BK…why would he want to play under Kareem and Shaq’s shadow? He has a chance to bring the Nets their first NBA ring and be the first BK Net legend….his name will be immortalized

Why are we being called bums with this roster?

We’re a betta team than last year. Lopez is healthy, Swag is Swag, AK47 is loaded up, Hump wants to take his anger out, Ammo aim is still on point, added 2 big defensive guys our point guards in shape so that deepens the bench and oh yeah WE HAVE DERON WILLIAMS. This team will hold the fort till Superman soars down in Newark. RELAX

Freezy82 - December 15, 2011 reply

We dont have HUmp or AK47 on our team and Brooks hasnt played an NBA game yet

RandyOreens - December 15, 2011 reply

We don't have Hump or AK47 signed yet haha...

I’d feel a litttle different then

We're saving cap guys

we don’t need AK or Humph, just keep saving cap

We need to field a team lol...

If Cap Space was so valuable… then we’d have Dwight

I was being sarcastic lol

WTF are we saving cap for if we are trading for Howard? We saved cap before last season and look what we spent it on, Graham, Outlaw, and Petro. This year, we’ve signed a guy that probably would have been jobless still in Sheldon Williams.

William_H_HOLLA - December 15, 2011 reply

Its soon to happen.

If we don’t get those 2 ok big slide back but WE STILL HAVE DERON WILLIAMS.

Freezy82 - December 15, 2011 reply

D'Alessandro is on point as usual.

Agree with everything he said in that piece, the only sad part now, is the Nets are committed to this, and sadly, it’s going to be our undoing.

He is going to either Portland or Sacramento apparently.

Yeah, I could see how the Kings make sense.

They really don't have any offensive fire-power at the two. Would be a good pick-up.

Jimmer, Thornton, Tyreke, Crawford. Hilarious.

Dont forget Salmons

fumblesnout - December 15, 2011 reply

Isn't it odd that he's having a hard time a team?

no one has money lol

Lets give him 5/$35 and #21 to wear

can’t tell the difference.

Adande just said

the lakers want to stay put and see what they can do with what they got

I feel Howard is ours if he is delt before the new york or if he hits free agency. Lakers could give trouble if its a ddeadline deal.

By then Bynum will prolly be hurt though

and Bynum's knee

isnt healthy….

I dislike Adande.

He is always dissing the Nets

he acts like the nets dont even exist he is bum

nets? the things on the rims right?

Adande...

He’s one of those guys that I truly can’t comprehend how or why he has a job in this field…

NJNETS13 - December 15, 2011 reply

Kobe has to much pride.

Freezy82 - December 15, 2011 reply

i agree and he doesnt want to be the second tier to dwight

So he's going to cripple the franchise?

I don’t know how the Lakers can regain themselves after the Kobe Era.

He cares more about his legacy

He wants to win without the best big in the league. Remember how many finals MVP’s the black mamba got with the original Superman? He doesn’t wanna have to deal with that argument again

yeah kobe and shaq hated eachother

remember the anual heat vs. lakers game on christmas because of it

mainly to see weather or not they shake hands

i just got into a fight with my gf because i m not making enough time with her because i m on this site alot....this is really frustrating

You and me both bro!

I took one last night when the rumors of a deal started and I just stayed online all night reading whatever I could find lol

I've been trying to study, and I think I'm ready.

this article seems like such a stretch, but given how big a circus this has become

I wouldnt be surprised.

Championship or a first round exit?

We should not do anything that will hurt our chances of getting Dwight. Dwight is a player who can be your best player, on a Championship team. Except for CP3 (who is almost as good as DWILL) Dwight is the only player who has been available who is worth breaking the bank for to get. There are half a dozen players in the NBA who are “game changers” and Dwight is one of them.

PaulErstein - December 15, 2011 reply

Big year for Brook..

If Dwight is still in Orlando to start the season I think a lot of people that may not be too familiar with Lopez since they never televise our games nationally, will be curious to see this guy that is key piece of The Nets D12 offer, so there will be quite a bit of national attention on him. If he steps his game up amidst that pressure then people will start to think that Orlando is getting a pretty good deal. If he struggles then people will laugh at how pathetic our offer is. Don’t underestimate the power of public perception. The Magic don’t want to be a laughingstock once again so that could be a factor in their willingness to trade with us.

things that would greatly help the nets

1. Brook breakout
2. Bynum injury (I feel bad about saying this, but it is what it is)

I'd be thrilled with either

Don’t feel too bad. He’s not exactly what you’d consider a “good character guy.”

well he deserves something bad to happen after the hit on little jj

Nets just need to work on getting Lopez more press

make him a bigger personality, stick some billboards of him in NYC

ubd - December 15, 2011 reply

Sign

Ak, Hump, + Landry. You’ll have a starting lineup pf Lopez, Hump, AK, Deron + Morrow. The bench will have Brooks, Farmer, James, Landry + Sheldon. Also Outlaw, Jordan Will, Gaines + Petro {in a suit}. It’s at least a 500 team with a good shot at the playoffs and 2 draft picks upcoming. If we can get Howard, great, whether it’s at the trade deadline or free agency. But, it has to be on our terms..no 5 first rounders etc, that makes us the Knicks. Assure Dwight + Fagan that he’ll always be welcome with open arms, and any money Fegan + him lose by signing as a free agent will be made up on the back side, we’ll keep resigning him till he’s 40. No need to sacrifice the team to obtain him, he needs to shout his trade demand to the Nets and mean it, and Orlado will have no choice but to send him here. They’ll be happy to get back Lopez.

gizzymhv - December 15, 2011 reply

@
@EricPincus FWIW, Ping’s sources seem to always be wrong n Orlando. He had CP3 acquired by Magic and many other things that never panned out

Dude Ping

Really “reports” how he feels. a couple days ago he was claiming only LA would get Dwight, no he’s thinks he’ll go to the nets. all over the place. hate him

his name is ping?

pingalore

and he keeps on

sending his clickorlando article to everyone like its his first ever published article.

Ya makes sense. Whole process seemed like a stretch

However, Fegan HAS to try to strongarm the magic otherwise Dwight stands to lose a lotta money.

What can they do to frighten Orlando into trading him now?

He can’t sit out the season but he could JKidd them with migraines. Would it be wise to play that card with Orlando?

Fegan is a powerful agent. He can make Orlando signing future player absolute hell if he wants to.

DING DING DING!!!!!!!!! vijay got it

Those last 2 posts by vijay are what i’ve been saying all along. He WILL NOT let Dwight lose that much money, and you can put your house on it that he will steer ALL future players he represents away from Orlando.

Yeah, but what happens the first time someone spills coffee on that thing?

Off topic again

but I’ve seen some funny toilet of the future videos on youtube as well lol

Toilets that wash your behind...

Too much technology right there.

DWILL-of-the-GODZ - December 15, 2011 reply

Nets Predictions. Trying to find the good in this.

C | B Lopez – 20 PPG 9.2 RPG 1 Blocks 80% FT at Center
- Meet the 2011 Allstar Center for the East (If Howard is a Laker of Course). D Will will be determinded to get him stats to raise his value for possible March Howard trade. Plus he is in a contract year. Motivation abound.

PF | Hump – 12 PPG / 12 RPG / 1 Block
-Who has more to prove that last year wasnt a fluke. Getting Kim was a fluke. Getting 10 Boards was Much Much easier.

SF | AK47 – 12 PPG / 6 RPG / 1.5 Blocks / 3 APG
-Has the Most experience playing with D Will. Good Defensive SF with the size to guard Melo. Lopez/Hump/AK Makes a decent matchup vs Knicks. Good player all around with underated passing skills and can hit a 3. Can play PF and play it well.

SG | Morrow – 15 PPG / 44% 3PTS
- What has 2 Thumbs and is automatic from downtown, THIS GUY<=.2nd most accurate 3 pt shooter in NBA History. FACT. D Will is going to get alot of corner 3 assits from Morrow

PG | D Will 21 PPG / 12 APG / 46% FG / 84% FT
- Out to prove he is the BEST PG. Hasnt been healthy in 2 years. In game shape and just dropped 50 in a game last week. He knows he has to Play on KOBE level. Lucky for us he has the talent to do so. One of the FEW differnce makers in the NBA and unlike most of the other franchise players, he makes everyone on the court play better.

6th man – M Brooks 16 PPG / 44% FG / 1.5 Steals
- I have been singing his praise since predraft. He is the real deal. Best scorer in college basketball not named Jimmer. People know he can score, 24.6 PPG but did you know that he also pulled 7 RPG, 1.5 Stl 1.2 Blocks…….. in the Big East. He is has the talent to be a great defender especially with Avery’s defensive mind. Made himself into a good player, you have to respect that. Dont be surprised to se him play alot of minutes at SF since he has a 7’ 1" Wingspan. We are going to get alot of fastbreaks with this guy playing the passing lanes. Remeber how good our fastbreak was when we had Kidd and Kittles. DWill and Brooks is just as good……..He is only one year younger then Brook. He is ready to contribute now. He will be neck and neck with Kemba for ROY.

IF we dont get Howard then plan B is K Mart and Chandler when they get back from China. Seems like Denver is moving on from Chandler. We can save some cash for Howard trade knowing that we will have more money then Denver to bid on him. He would be a nice platoon with AK. K Mart back in NJ for its last year is only fitting, Brooklyn was the reason we lost him in the 1st place. It would be good karma to open Brooklyn with him on the squad.

This isnt that bad of a squad. Then we get Howard in FA if its ment to be.

PS SORRY GUYS JWILL aint making the team.

16ppg for M Brooks

is HIGH for me, i would be happy with 8pts a game

8 to 11 would be a lot more realistic.

I also doubt starters and sixth man would average a combined 96ppg.

possible

especially if they run a system where he gets open shots

I think Brooks can get that many depending on playing time.

It doesn’t mean he’ll get it efficiently though. He will be a volume scorer.

well i want to see him play vs NBA players

and how he will get his shots up if he is off from outside

Yeah. He seems like he'll be a good one.

That would be a an exciting team to watch.

double digits would be good

the guy is a athletic beast, and that’s an advantage right there.

that's like a perfect season lmao

usually that does not happen for us Nets fans

Hell! 9 rebounds for Lopez? Are we talking about Brook or Robin?

George

Mario

jennifer

After what we saw last year, Jennifer might outrebound Brook!

She did hook up with some young guy, but who wouldn't get with that? lol

DWILL-of-the-GODZ - December 15, 2011 reply

Idk bout haha

Nick Tortoise - December 15, 2011 reply

ericjh2 - December 15, 2011 reply

That team, as a whole, is pretty nice to move forward with, but we can"t wait til March to get those guys from China.

We need some bodies. Check out my post at the bottom..whadaya think?

Expect talks about the trade being close tomorrow again

rymitchell2 - December 15, 2011 reply

i expect trade to happen Friday

hahaha

we cant make a trade if we sign people. It must happen tomorrow early or not til the AS break.

goofnight everyone lets hope we get dwight

same NIGHT

FRiday i expect the trade ^^

I had a bad feeling about this originally but BK has handled this right. He gave them a deadline and I think that not only will he stick with it, I think Otis will cave in and it gets done around the same time we throw Outlaw his going away party!

For the billionth time....It was NOT otis. It was the OWNERS who said "Hell No" to the trade.

And Otis is probably the only person that can talk some sense into them. If this goes on past Friday and into the season, this will become a MAJOR distraction. Even more than it already has. They remember what happened with Shaq. I doubt they’ll let it happen again. All because you don’t want to see him playing in another uniform during the All-Star game? That’s pretty damn shallow. Move him now or deal with the chaos later and STILL may not get as good of a deal as this. It’s a high stakes game of chicken. We’ll see who blinks first.

Let's face it. You think the owners give a damn?

All they care about is taking the money from the season ticket holders of their franchise’s fans. And making a profit off the AllStar game with Howard there.

Once all that is done with, and they have squeezed as much money from Howard as possible, only then will they let him go.

They are holding him hostage for purely financial reasons and it P-SSES ME OFF!!

corky_romano4life - December 15, 2011 reply

Ok honestly

I can’t imagine agents fly all the time to go harass teams to trade players… DWIGHT WANTS OUT. AND HE WANTS US. I’m sure the agent is doing everything he possibly can do get the Magic to get the idea that Dwight needs to be traded ASAP.

Also, Billy has to know this is going to be real bad if we go sign players and then the Magic are like yeah sure let’s trade. OR vice versa if we don’t sign anyone and then the Magic are like oh we’re not trading him until All-Star weekend… then we’re screwed.

I JUST REALLY HOPE THIS GETS DONE SOON. I mean there’s a good shot of it – look at the players who seriously demanded a trade in the past and got it, upon request:

–Chris Paul
–Jason Kidd
–Carmelo Anthony (and this only took long because the Knicks/Nugs were being idiots)

This should get done before the season… that’s 10 more days. While it would be nice to have him before Preseason, before season starts is the most important thing. At some point, Magic should get sick of this whole thing and move on.

I hope there's a timely resolution to this saga

I’ve been glued to this site following this story more than I was after 9/11. Hopefully this has a happier ending haha

"Dwight Howard traded to NJ"

That’s what I want to hear when i wake up in the morning.

True story. I had gotten the Nets completely out of my head and I was taking my Spanish exam. It was all going pretty well until one of the excerpts I had to read was written by a person named Antonio Perez.

Oh man my professors reaction was priceless when I screamed YES!

new thread please.this one is depressing. confusing. annoying. teasing. faithful.

lol

ok… who wants Lopez, would Memphis move Rudy for Lopez?

We can send Lopez to Memphis then Memphis can send Rudy to Orlando. with picks and others

I don't think they would.

They already have Z-Bo and little Gasol.

I think Golden State would like him. They;ve been looking for a Center.

would orlando

rather have Monta Ellis?

Obviously Otis doesnt want Lopez, so get a team that does, and ask them to send it to Orlando.

I know Curry is off limits, but maybe Ellis and who?

I don't know that Otis doesn't want him.

It was Orlando’s ownership that rejected the trade. I don’t know who else GSW could move.

Hmmm

what other teams that have “STAR” power, not a 7 footer who basically averages 20ppg and 8rpg in his young carrer, and never MISSED A GAME.

GUESS THAT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH

The T-Wolves?

They have a lot of young talent and they could have a Love/Lopez front court.

no they just singed zbo and gasol

We only trade Lopez for

1. Lebron
2. Dwight
3. Jason Collins

What is happening? Billy Where Are You?????

there is no way all this has happened and we walk away w nothing. Billy King has 2 have something planned. Magic ownership is making this a problem. Dan Fegan seems to be helping Billy in get D12 to the Nets.

If we dont get D12 what are we trading for? What superstar is on the market for us 2 get?

obviously BK has been doing his job

but working behind the public and keeping this quiet.

We're in too deep now

There’s no turning back. Billy will aggressively pursue Dwight until he’s either in a Nets jersey or he signs his name on the dotted line with another team. I am 100% behind him on this one too.

Theoretically, if Dwight doesn't end up on the Nets (I still think he will), would you guys be cool with throwing a big deal at Gordon and seeing if NOH has enough money to match?

nope

i like Gordon and i like derozan as future 2s

I always forget about Derozan.

He is going to be really good.

but we could get "STERN'D"

alright good nite my friends,

this time for real. Friday is my cut off day

Good night

I think if nothing goes down tomorrow we sign Hump and/or AK47 early on Friday

I think out of all the local/NY media

Mike Mazzeo is one of very few that has done a stellar job thus far covering the Nets & NBA. Appears to be he actually respects the Nets organizations and is aware of how close we are to instilling fear into our opponents and making serious noise.

Shout out to Mike Mazzeo

Yep. He's a good guy and will admit mistakes and respond to people on Twitter.

I like Andy Vasquez too.

our offer compared to what New Orleans got

is a joke and a half.

Glad Dwight refuses to be traded to anywhere except NJ/LAL/DAL

Thats because Stern stepped in

Hornets were initially going to get Martin, Scola and Odom. That trade would of made our deal look better.

Hornets got a steal

paul’s good, but he has weak legs now

JJ_22 - December 15, 2011 reply

Also, I don't think Eric Gordon's pleased.

He tweeted, “Wow.” After the trade was announced. Similar to what Chris Paul tweeted when the trade to the Lakers was vetoed by David Stern.

Where is this man, its about that time.

How many attempts you think it took for him to spell that properly on his first library card?

yea i'm waiting for that breaking tweet

though I guess we did get a lot of news already today

Get a grip D'Alessandro

Howard is actually not behaving badly, if anything I’d put more blame on the media’s relentless appetite for a story in creating a perception for us. Why be bitter Dave? You are part of the machine…

NiceBull - December 15, 2011 reply

Just read that one, its true but def slightly bitter.

there is some truth in there, but

he fails to mention the big role reporters have in spreading rumors and stories about things that may or may not be true. Reporters are constantly trolling these franchises, stirring up things and stoking fires.

Like your Wooden quote btw.

New Poster but HUGE Nets fan

Hey guys, I have been reading NetsDaily for a little while now and I want to applaud how dedicated all of you guys are. It has been hard being the only Nets fan in my family since everyone supports the Knicks. I am always defending the Nets and remember the glory days with Kidd, K-Mart, Kittles, RJ, Van Horn. I believe we have a very solid team and I have faith that we will get Dwight Howard in the end. But if we don’t get him it’s ok, we have a lot of potential in our young players and remember TEAMS win championships, not individual stars. I am sad that Jersey is losing the Nets but they will always be Jersey’s team in my eye

xvinmastax - December 15, 2011 reply

Marshon

Also, call me crazy, but mark this post. Marshon Brooks will be the BEST player the Nets have had on their team ever. I am so excited to see this kid play. His skill set, his frame, his athleticism, and killer instinct to score will help him shine in this league for years to come. Don’t look now, but I think we already have our superstar in the making.

xvinmastax - December 15, 2011 reply

you really jumped out the window w this post lmaoo

William_H_HOLLA - December 15, 2011 reply

LOL

LOL maybe so, but I’ve seen the kid play in college and if he keeps playing that way, he will be HUGE for us. Like i said it’s a crazy prediction but something I stand by. Let’s hope for the best

xvinmastax - December 15, 2011 reply

another positive nets fan welcome

we are few and far between these days the chicken littles have taken over

mightymosdefinition - December 15, 2011 reply

I'm with you....

… not exactly on every words, because it’s hard to Brooks be the best Net ever but I have high hopes for him, I’ expecting him to be a scoring machine, and I like his defensive potential, but let’s wait how he adpats.
My fear is that Brooks starts hot, and at the deadline the Magic demand to include him in the trade.

Why we fans always talk about

player loyalty. No NBA team is loyal to any of their players unless you a star like Kobe, LBJ or Wade. Look at Brook. Does he have a say in where he would end up. Fans don’t care as long as we get a better like DH12. So we should not complain about players leaving for a better place or for more money.

NDTony - December 15, 2011 reply

exactly

Angelo Mihalitsianos - December 15, 2011 reply

completely agree

fans would never pay the same loyalty to players that they demand from them. i have no problem with these guys wanting to choose where they play.

NetsVC15 - December 15, 2011 reply

Translate who can. I am afraid to lose meaning

Парни я вижу что половина из вас очень слаба психологически. При первых плохих новостях вы поднимаете панику, Нужно быть крепким и верить в то что все у нас получится и Ховард будет играть в Нетс. Все сегодняшние новости не несут чего то супер плохого, это просто рабочий момент, Билли знает что он должен делать и он это делает. Так давайте просто без паники подождем крайнего срока 31 декабря.

From google translate

“Guys, I see that half of you are very weak mentally. When the first bad news you raise a panic, should be strong and believe that everything we get and Howard will play in the Nets. All of today’s news does not have what it super bad, it’s just working the moment, Billy knows what he should do and he does it. So let’s just do not panic wait a deadline on December 31.”

truer words were never spoken

You should've just said "I must break you" and then get KTFO. lol

I don't understand you.

From someone who just posted everything in Russian....

…you are telling me that you don’t understand ME? lol.

Billy should try his buddy in Utah.

Send Morrow and Farmar, one pick for Milsap and Watson or Tinsley.
One year left on Milsap’s contract (after this one) for the money we would pay Hump or AK. Just get AK for the SF spot (with James).
And for SG, bring in Stevenson for some D and platoon with Brooks.
Still have assets and money.

Line up

DWill/Gaines/Tinsley
Brooks/Stevenson
AK/James/SWill
Milsap/AK/SWill
Lopez/SheWill/Petro

JWill and a D Leaguer to round out the roster.

mightymosdefinition - December 15, 2011 reply

so u want 4/5 of utahs old starting lineup?

Worked that way, but looking at what might still be possible. Fills a need for both teams

and the GMs have a good relationship. Milsap is underrated, and AK just needs to stay on the court.

ContinentalAirlinesArena - December 15, 2011 reply

Some more words from the wise

Since my first post here got such good reception (26 recs), I thought I’d try to add some more sense to everything. Not going to lie, I was a bit out of the loop today, I had 2 finals today (finally done!) an dust got caught up on everything.

It’s all posturing guys, we have to stop freaking out over the small things. Until Dwight gets traded elsewhere (and even then we still have a shot) we need to keep calm and let things unfold on there own. I have the ultimate confidence in Billy.

Remember when we had Kidd and we still had so much trouble finding a PF? The fact that the best big man in the game openly wants to come here, we gotta do everything, even if it means not fielding the best team this year. We had trouble getting players like SAR to commit here (and obv for other reasons as you guys remember) and now we can get the best big. I am all in. Whatever needs to be done, you do it. If we gotta trade every possible draft pick, we do it.

We’ve been through so much, we should learn to not freak over everything. Yes Woj is by far the best in the business but everything is just rumored. I hope everyone has a good night, and hopefully everything works out for us. Hey, we are nets fans, don’t we deserve something good?

Like Jay says, The Nets could go 0 for 82 and I’d look at you like this shit gravy. Enjoy and let this exciting time for Nets bball soak in, I can’t remember the last time there was such an energy in the fan base.

great post

too bad you’re gonna get in deep doodie for cursing

corky_romano4life - December 15, 2011 reply

Thank you for saying cursing

I live in Texas and have to listen to people calling it cussing

bustamove22 - December 15, 2011 reply

god I hate the word cussing

corky_romano4life - December 15, 2011 reply

word

I'm sorry

I thought it automatically switches to Moiso (good old Moiso). Just copied lyrics from Jays song

Sorry Net Income, much respect

ContinentalAirlinesArena - December 15, 2011 reply

That would be so dope if it switched automatically lmao!

lol

it’s funny how many NetsDaily users have adopted that substitution. it’s so widespread it probably appears as a filter word, but the site doesn’t have a filter.

Truer words never spoken

Stay positive, my friend.

That was for Continental

We get the 6th seed with that team, assuming everyone plays/stays healthy as expected.

And we can still get Dwight!!

mightymosdefinition - December 15, 2011 reply

as currently constructed with humphries we're a 7 or 8th seed

i think they bring in richard jefferson also

Milsap is the better player, has a repoire with DWill, and allows us to spend money on AK

to play SF. Morrow and Farmar almost cancel out what Milsap is making, so not much additional money is being laid out.

hey guys, just had a thought

sorry if its already been discussed, just wanted to share.

although i wanted this trade to happen weeks ago, let alone today, i still believe it will happen at the trade deadline. here is my reasoning, otis smith knows the nets will still be willing to make the trade at the deadline. this is what happened last year with melo. we were there all year, backed out, came back in a a month later, eventually trading for dwill. otis smith isn’t a dumbass, he knows the nets are going to be there at the deadline to trade for dwight, in case things aren’t working out.

unless dwight really tells orlando right now that he wants to be traded right NOW, he isn’t going to be until the trade deadline. even then, i think it will end up being at the deadline.

viridus - December 15, 2011 reply

I agree, if Dwight continues this stance of pussyfooting

if he really does get fed up and demand a trade as some sketchy Orlando beat writers have suggested, then it could go down very soon, but I kinda doubt that happens. who knows anything anymore though.

No. To a deadline much will exchange. We won't have a possibility to amnesty Outlaw, We should быдем sign someone. Thereby we will hammer in a pay-sheet and not смоем to take away the contract of the Turk

vote prokhorov

Bro we're gonna amnesty Outlaw

He’s as good as gone.

His agent is doing EVERYTHING he can to get him out of there IMMEDIATELY

The source of this is Pingalore(last name). His whole article may not be fact, but that part is. Even other posters here who don’t like him believe that.

Signing people to big one-year contracts at least puts us in contention next year if DH stays in Disney

Asawisemansaid - December 15, 2011 reply

My take is that Otis told everyone he wasn't trading Howard...

to get the onus off of himself. He knew that Howard was saying one thing in private and another thing publicly. If Howard wants to leave he needs to say it out loud so that the Orlando fans have someone to blame other than Otis. He’s just trying to save his own Mosio.

That Dave D was a whole lot of hot air

I honestly believe Howard would’ve stayed in Orlando if they properly built a roster. They didn’t…not by a long shot. What’s with the “swing for the fences” mentality? Ask the Miami Heat…and the Knicks…and the Celtics before them. This is nothing all that new. Par for the course and actually quite understandable.

And Brook SHOULD be moved, anyway? Um, okay buddy.

Anthony Perez - December 15, 2011 reply

yeah he made a number of silly points

Such as, get Tyson Chandler for defense and then move your scoring big man Lopez for a forward.

Why not swing for the fences?! Why hold back when the best big man on planet Earth says he wants to play for the Nets.

Finally, if not King, it’s Deron’s fault that the Nets are going all out for Dwight. After all, he did force Sloan into retirement yada yada. Yeah, sure guy, they’re related, and that’s assuming they’re true. Well, no Deron, no Dwight hope, so OK.

stenpoint - December 15, 2011 reply

You know guys, I have a feeling in the next day or two, the Orlando FO might do something stupid

It’s obvious they aren’t very smart, and they could slip at any time. A long shot, yes, but the way this is going, anything is certainly possible.

So is this our chance to sign Howard and keep Lopez to put them together ?

jarkid - December 15, 2011 reply

There's no chance of that happening

Unless Orlando really screws up by letting him walk for nothing but I doubt it

Could this end up like the Clippers deal

Dead one day, done the next.

stenpoint - December 15, 2011 reply

Anythings possible

My gut tells me it’ll be a bit longer but who knows.

The best way to deal with this is don't expect it will be done, then it will be done.

That’s the best way for the Nets fans.

jarkid - December 15, 2011 reply

Who Broke the CP3 deal?

Journalist I mean. What is Woj?

Is Adrian Wojnarowski, who is the most reliable NBA reporter our there. People call him Woj for short.

xs0ng - December 15, 2011 reply

I'm aware sorry

I dunno how I typed what is woj. I meant Was it Woj?

shea23 - December 15, 2011 reply

Lopez, 5 picks, Farmar

for DH12, Turk and Duhon and around 22 million in salaries cleared, is our all in, that’s really all, offer.

The last bit won’t be available once we start other signings. At the deadline, they’ll have to pay for those traded expiring contracts.

Dwight’s starting to get real cranky and some Orlando columnists are starting to realize, if belatedly, that Bynum’s knees may not be so healthy.

It’s not yet Friday so I’m holding out hope until the weekend’s here.

stenpoint - December 15, 2011 reply

Aren't The ATL Hawks looking to cut payroll?

If they really want to get rid of Joe Johnson, could we do a very similar deal with them instead of Portland and have Johnson sent to Orlando with Brook? Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson is a pretty nice return for them. They get a former All star in Johnson and All star caliber center in Brook. I know JJ has a huge contract but we are talking about Orlando here. If they wouldnt take him no one would.
