Nets Keep Working with What They've Got

With the Carmelo Anthony talk dying down for the time being, the Nets were back on the practice floor on Wednesday. Troy Murphy was not, but he's expected to get his first contact practice in on Monday. In his place, Kris Humphries has been scrimmaging with the first team, which has Anthony Morrow at shooting guard over Terrence Williams.

Meanwhile, the Nets made their first cut on Wednesday afternoon, sending Andre Brown home after just five days of practice.

see

now when I read this I do see the point of eLonepb and others.

Avery was just a week ago talking big on favors on how he could be starting etc etc. How he is looking like garnett and Timmy and now we have hump possibly starting.

Which makes me believe that the favors talk could have been just that. Talk.

I wonder what the team, the coaching staff and the GM really think of this kid. I know he is a project but I wonder what they feel the ETA on this project is.

I don't think they are worried about Favors skills as much as his heart and determination...

Favors got to play hard on defense and get after those rebounds…Offense can come later….

Favors is a rookie

Not many rookies just come into the starting lineup Lopez didn’t start out the gate, if you don’t have to start a rookie you don’t, Murphy is a double double machine, letting Favors learn the NBA early on against second stringers is a good thing.

An NBA general manager told me that ‘Melo will not agree to a contract extension with the Nuggets or any team, which essentially kills most if not all chances of Melo being traded.

If true. I cry. :)

of course it is

he has won at every level.

He is one of five players who have been in the playoffs every year in the last seven and that list does not include Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade or LeBron James. He is one of two active players who have an Olympic gold medal and an NCAA championship and he knows if he gets an NBA ring, he will be only the eighth player in history to complete that trifecta…the others being Bill Russell, KC Jones, Clyde Lovelette, Jerry Lucas, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and the great Quinn Buckner.

He is all about winning.

by Net Income on Sep 30, 2010 11:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

hmm, what sense does this make?

Lets assume Melo really does want to get paid extension money, and he’s not giving that up.
So, it logically follows that Team Melo knows exactly where he wants to be traded, and that destination team is comfortable trading assets for Melo BEFORE any extension is signed.

Melo is doing this to help himself and his future team.

You got it. Zoubek is odd man out. Six Bigs is enough. Uzoh is a Peal in an Oyster. Joe Smith is a Net.

Ross has a full Vet Min contract guaranteed, and he plays D, so not likely he will be cut.

He just lost about 2.5 million when the Melo deal fell through.

These Videos are cool and all

but the issue with Harris is that he has to get back to playing defense and direct the offense. All these clips that arent break aways are of him playing off the ball. If that is what they want him to do and I think he will be good at then Twill has to start.

Can someone please

just go like a 7 sentence rant about why the Knicks are an awful organization please?

by i says on Sep 29, 2010 5:57 PM EDT reply actions  

My pleasure

The first problem wrong with the knicks is that they are far too stupid to keep draft picks. They are fully incapable of drafting any good player because they always dump their picks and in stupid deals too. The last ten year the organization has been mismanaged giving huge contract to average or problem player. Also the organization was thoroughly embarrassed by several off court issues like Isiah Thomas (the worst GM ever) sexually harassing a young woman, feuding with Marbury and a lot of stuff I hardly remember. To make it worse they are now associating themselves with this sleeze again. There most recent idiotic move include selling their fans on a LBJ pipe dream while not making any effort to put together a young core. By all account their speech to him was plain stupid. And well I could go on all day.

Don't pay Billy King a severance package.

I just realized the Nets have a brutal schedule especially in November

we have to play miami twice, orlando twice, celtics twice if you include the first week of december… 10 away games, 5 back-to-back, and 3 3games-in-4nites.

It’s going to be tough for a new team like ours, I hope that we will start the season strong.

by LetsGoNets on Sep 29, 2010 5:58 PM EDT reply actions  

But...

If we come out of that NOT 0-18 we are already better than last year. With our pieces and New Coaching Orlando doesn’t scare me and neither does Boston. The Lakers and the Heat are the only teams that I don’t say we have a great shot against. The other 29 teams??? LET’s GO!

You mean other 27 teams. 30 teams less Lakers, Heat and Nets.

guys brook lopez is a good center and he should be an untouchable

but i keep on asking myself…when was the last time he actually dictated an outcome of a game?
when is the last time he actually took over a quarter and carried the team?

i watched every single game that brook played and i don’t think it happened once yet….
i hope he this year he comes out and proves to be more dominant

by netsball on Sep 29, 2010 6:19 PM EDT reply actions  

He did it in the first half of the grizzlies game last year

But then disappeared during the 2nd and we lost again…

He made this buzzer beating dip under play last year to beat the buzzer and win or go to overtime

When I saw that move (forget what its really called) I knew very special player right there. Also nets don’t any games last year without him.

Brook Lopez

Brook was not used properly by LF or Kiki. We played a lot of outside, inside. We must play inside, outside. Throw the ball into Brook and let him develop a play. Worst case scenario he gets fouled and goes to the line, where he is a great free throw shooter for a seven footer, or he kicks it back out and finds the wide open player while he gets double teamed. SImple basketball. He has the moves down low to get to the basket rather easily or can post up and create a shot around the rim like Duncan.

No reason Brook can’t average near 25 a game with this being a game plan.

New NBA owner accidently slipped and said there will be a "Hard Cap" in new CBA.

At least that is what David Stern must have said that owners would be pushing for.

Means that besides a strike next summer, Nets could be in trouble if they sign Melo to 22 million per year.

That would be bad new for Prokhorov and teams that have money.

Nets would be in good shape though, if they just stand pat, and re-sign Murphy for around 7 million.
Then all the teams better than Nets would have to sell off their expensive players.

I can’t see that happening, but at least they should wait and see if it is worth trading away Favors and Harris.

by jerry25 on Sep 29, 2010 7:09 PM EDT reply actions  

I was just going to post this

As much as I love Carmelo, logic seems to tell me he won’t bring us a championship

 The new labor agreement:
a)will limit our ability to add contract (Paul) with Carmelo
b) make our two 2012 draft picks more valuable (after everyone in college waits a year after a lockout)
c) hurt our ability to maximize Prokhorov’s dollars

We are better off with what we have, even if Favors isn’t a star. I LOVE Favors, but the fact that we were willing to trade him with Melo means that we either aren’t high on his upside potential or don’t he will reach his potential within the next two years and Prokhorov is not willing to wait.

Why would they trade Favors if he was ready now? Even if they really wanted Melo, why wouldn’t they wait to showcase his talent if he has anything to show right now?

how can NBA just institute a hard cap overnight without grandfathering existing contracts

If there would be a hard cap, then now is the time for Team Wes to get their star clients well taken care of and together on a billionaire’s team, say, the Nets.

It would still limit flexibility

and make the plenty of people available in trades if you have assets and the Nets would have assets. I agree I don’t think they will create a hard cap, but I think they will definitely make it harder to operate above the cap. I also think it help our ability to sign Carmelo instead of Knicks if he did become a free agent.

by gsloots on Sep 29, 2010 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

by the time Brook's contract is up

the whole NBA salary structure will change, player’s won’t make us much in the open market because there is going to be less money to spend and team’s with money are going to be hesitant to overspend because they will be in salary cap hell.

by gsloots on Sep 29, 2010 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

I doubt they'll get a hard cap in this upcoming CBA

With a hard cap without teams being able to get under the cap, i.e. contracts will have to become non-guaranteed so that players can be cut, as it exists in the NFL or partially guaranteed as with the NHL. The player’s association will never go for the NFL style contracts. Maybe they’ll go for the partial gurantees of the NHL, but even that is doubtful.

 Regardless of whether a hard cap or a lower soft cap is put in place, there will likely have to be a rollback of all salaries. Either that, or the institution of such a cap will have to be gradually rolled in. Again, it’s hard to believe NBA owners will get PA agreement on salary rollbacks.

Rough Month

It’s going to be a rough month, waiting for the games to start. The beat reporters just parrot what they are told by the PR department. Remember when Sean Williams was the “best player in camp”…..What’s the real story on Murph’s groin? Can Morrow really make shots in his sleep? Is TWILL really learning to make better decisions? Will they be serving Hering on a stick at the ROCK this season, and Borscht? I like my Borscht with sour cream and a potato. GO NYETS!

That 2nd unit is going to have some firepower with Twill Farmar Favors and james. I knew Twill just needed a coach like Avery to get his head straight. He needed an authority figure. Too bad CDR couldnt have been here.

Wow
Reining in the player that can hang on to a 16 ppg. average, who can drop 14 assists in a night — like he did against Chicago last March — who can make a coach like Charlotte’s Larry Brown say that when he plays the way he’s capable of, the 12-70 Nets "could beat anybody."

And his detractors will keep saying only us Nets fans think that highly of the kid.
