Thorn Parties With Jay-Z and LeBron

All-Star Weekend is a time for parties and before the game and before his big meetings, Rod Thorn was able to talk to two of the biggest names in next summer's free agency. On Saturday night, Thorn was at the annual "Two Kings Dinner & Afterparty" with Nets' investor Jay-Z and Nets' target LeBron James. Also on hand: Jason Kidd and Chris Paul.

oh and we’ll also be relocating to the new Cowboy stadium to play in front of 100,000 people every week!

Sounds to me like a Chump-free party. No wonder Kiki wasn’t invited.

Hollah!

Kidd was there too…

translation…he’s comin back to the Nets.

In a Knicks commercial on MSG, they showed Jay-z at a Knicks game. They are trying to steal him from us and pretend like he is part of the Knicks organization. The only reason he was at the game was because it was against LeBron, which I don’t mind.

I guess what this means is that Jerry Jones is trying to get Chris Paul to play QB for the Cowboys

Nice to see Thorn and Jay-Z together. No hard feelings.

Were any other NBA team presidents at the party?

is it so farfetched to think that there is could be somethin really brewin between Proky, Lebron, Jay Z, n Thorn in the chance that Cleveland falls short again this year??

Here’s the thing. The Nets are cleaning house and could possibly build up the craziest media powerhouse of a sports franchise with the biggest name in Rap; one of the kings of all entertainment, the richest man in Russia,and the best basketball player in the world. Is it so farfetched to think that Lebron could understand that if he signed with the Nets, no one would hesitate to follow him and that he would be on the verge of being able to have a dynasty of team set up for him and also be in center of the media capital of the world?! I mean Proky can give this man whatever he wants in a team.

If the Nets could sign Lebron, everything else like a second Max free agent and the rest of the supporting pieces could fall into place for him and this team very easily with this owner we have.

maybe The Cavs will pick up Amare as thats the hot news right now and then completely ruin whatever team chemistry they had for the year, blowing up their championship chance again…

or maybe they’ll invest into a long term contract like Jamison’s and still fall short.

I really hope the Cavs lose this year so that the summer is spiced up even more.

@ NJQuestCat:

u forget to mention the importance of relationship that lebron has with john wall. bring in john wall and put together everything u just said and there is no doubt that lebron would come to the nets.

by tu vieja on Feb 14, 2010 11:50 PM EST reply actions  

does anyone know if Porky and Jay Z actually met ? and what do you think occurred in that meeting ?

by blazin pp face on Feb 14, 2010 11:56 PM EST reply actions  

if something truly was brewin and David Stern were in on this too it’d be crazy they’d have to make another Ocean’s movie for this big executed plan

just imagine..

Oceans 25 starring:

Danny Ocean…Prokorov, Ivan Drago, Lebron James, Jerry Coangelo, David Stern, Coach K, Thorn, Jay Z, Brook Lopez, Chris Paul, John Wall, and the whole 09-10 Nets roster for the comic relief that these movies always have!

i’d go out to the movies to see the Nets transform from the biggest joke into the biggest success.

This game really drove home my point about championship teams and point guards… if you want to win a championship, you need someone like Lebron or Wade… or Kobe… and that means they are going to basically run the point. That eliminated the need for a PG. Jordan won with Ron Harper, Kobe with Derek Fisher. We need to forget about Harris AND wall, and just get a stud, and put someone at the point who can spot up and hit a 3 when we need it!

Tore…

i mean i’m just bein optimistic for fun because there’s not much fun goin on when i watch the Nets this year.

Realistically the Nets have a chance of doing something good with this owner we have. You gotta remember, this ain’t Ratner distributin pennies anymore

Pessimistically, nothin will happen for this team like you say. Well that just sucks and your outlook does too. Be a fan and be a little hopeful.

by NJQuestCat on Feb 15, 2010 12:22 AM EST reply actions  

@Tim

John Wall can play like Wade.

by jarkid on Feb 15, 2010 12:24 AM EST reply actions  

im just being realistic there is nothing going on there is no big move … the pices we have suck we have no vlue none wants to take those guys we are total mess and i am a fan and i dont see anything beter going on anytime soon …. i would be happy if P cleans the house i thikn we have just two thre keepers in my opinion BL TWill and CHump the rest are just a bunch of veterans with no value…. i would be happy if something happen and i keep checking all day to hear a good news i thought would be some good news tonight but nothing …
BTw good job NIncome :) keep it up …

I wonder if thorn danced with a big booty stripper. you know there were tons of them in there. could you imagine seeing that??? i think i would die of laughter and awe.

Lets keep it in the nets family but Harris is not the answer

Prokhorov’s associates were also guests at Jay-Z’s party. Heard they sat with him for awhile. Looks like Jay-Z’s involvement could really start paying some dividends.

Could be that LeBron after winning a title for Cleveland will say: My mission here in Cleveland is done. I would like to move on with another project in a bigger media market and help rebuild the Nets.

I smell something burning, is someone trying to blow smoke here?

The Nets should bring back JKIDD to mentor Rubio when they get him and then when JKIDD retires in about two years he should be the Nets next head coach……..
