Done Deal: Dooling's a Net

NBA finals, here we come!!!

Great! now if we can just get Darius Miles, there’s no stopping us!

Can I come next year?

I can’t wait for the lottery next season.

Darius Miles? Not enough, we’ll need Shaun Livingston too! With the “fallen-angel” tri-fecta of Dooling, Miles , and Livingston and we’ll definitely make the Finals.

very happy about this pickup. too bad we couldnt get him a couple years ago.

does this mean another press conference? or are we going to wait until the next trade or two and do a big press conference?

Make the finals? I’d be suprised if we win 20 games next year. With only two big names on our current roster, I’m really looking forward to having the #1 or #2 pick in next year’s draft.

We’re going to have 3 top ten picks in the next two years to go along with this years 3 plus Yi Boone S. will M. Will, that’s a lot of chips to land someone in 2010…if not LeBron….how about Yao and Wade, or Bosh and Amare….or the numerous top flight free agents availalble that year. I can’t wait for Yao and Yi…kind of like Ying and Yang….dumplings at the arena and everything!
Either way I love that in two years we will be stacked…..worst case scenario is we’re like Portland, Chicago, and Philly who are primed for big things….it’s far better guys than watching Kidd turn 40, Jefferson and Carter decline with nothing to show.

I hope the nets sell paper bags to wear on our heads at the games!!!

But honestly, this is the only pick up I think is good. Everything else that has taken place is a debacle in my mind.

@Melky
u will be suprised we should be winning around 40

its going to be a weird season for us, but we might surprise a lot of people, we got depth this year, and i think VINCE CARTER will surprise every one specially the one that put him in LOSER LIST

@ Julian

good words.

Two Words- VINCE CARTER.

Guarantee 40+ season, we will make the playoffs and be making a few upsets next season.

I speak the truth.

if people wanted us in the lottery, then signing dooling hurts that. im not here to make him out to be a huge difference maker, but he is a talented guy who made us better. of course we have trades so who knows what our team will look like, but dooling improves our team

i would prefer if we took our lumps and had a higher chance at getting a top 3 pick, but we know management wants to win and would rather try to get into the playoffs and get swept instead of getting a top 3 pick.

best signing by far so far this summer

LOL @ Trenton

I 2nd that I like our lottery chances next season.

…..worst case scenario is we’re like Portland, Chicago, and Philly who are primed for big things….it’s far better guys than watching Kidd turn 40, Jefferson and Carter decline with nothing to show.

Well said Super Nets Fan. I agree 100%. I remember about 2 years ago, I posted on the Nets forum on NJ.com that I felt the Nets were becoming the Milwaukee Bucks of the 1980’s. Not in player comparisons but in team comparison. They were basically good enough to be relevant but too good to improve beyond their above average, no title hope, existence. It’s better to get to a level where you can create cap space and receive meaningful draft picks.

Just one more guy and will be OK, His initials is RA, hope
he comes. I believe at least 40 wins.

Carter,Harris, Brooks, Yi, & RA

Bench
Najera/Hayes,
Dooling,
Boone/Kristic,
Anderson/Sean,
CDR/Simmons.

Possibly Traded or bought
(Hassel) (Ager)(Armstrong, Marcus)
(Swift)(KVH)

GO NETS GO

If Sixers and Hawks could bounce back to get in the playoffs, why not the Nets?

JuliusIrving who is RA is it RON ARTEST

ONE MORE MOVE, COME ON ROD AND KIKI

All we need is another scorer and we are ready to go. No, we won’t win the NBA Title, but I think if this blends right and Frank doesn’t **** up too much(he has no excuse now IMO because Kiki and Rod brought in some defenders and guys that can hit the open J)we can be quite the competitive team.

One more guy. Who will it be?

Oops!!! Sorry about the foul language in my previous post all that was an accident. Mods please edit.

Who’s coming to Jersey. Good Q.

You guys are crazy, we’re going to dominate the NBDL next year, we might even make the D League playoffs.

this nets team is better of the blazers, sixers and wizards teams of last year, without a doubt. its about coaching now.

usually when you have a young team, coaching makes all the difference.

bobbo once said that swcott was a better coach woiht a young team and frank is better with a veteran team, which is absolutely ludicrous to prononce frank’s name in the same sentence you prononce scott’s name.

so bobbo, i guess that means frank doesnt cut to be the coach of the young nets team right?

I gave my list of potential players we may go after in the next few weeks in another post, and I give it again:

1.) Nocioni
2.) Ron Artest
3.) Josh Smith
4.) Al Harrington

Notice that all of them are 3s. We can make one of these trades work! Which one will it be? It could be #5.) None of the above, which is always a possibility with the Nets.

@Julian You are right. Not really a role model but lot’s
   of talents.

Brian if we get ron artest then we to get kenny thomas contract kings wants to include him too. I hope is artest or nocioni or ,josh smith, or harrington in order

@ julian.

I wrote an entire discussion about Artest in another Nets forum. Not only is Kenny Thomas’s contract an option, but the Kings would be willing to give up Brad Miller’s contract instead (2years/23million!). No one wants to take on a large expiring as part of the Artest deal, and we would gladly welcome it! The only reason why I put Nocioni as the first option, is because RT/Kiki are the types that get infatuated with specific players (eg. Dooling, Yi, Najera), and Nocioni has been on the radar for some time now.

For all that people say that Artest is a bad influence and a bad role model, I read in a recent post that Kevin Martin attributes a great deal of his development to Artest…and Martin is a SOLID player.

Don’t worry, I DO remember what happened in the Palace in 2004.

I still think he’s worth it. He’s one of the TOP defenders in our league and can score from anywhere.
