Please stop this foolish attempt to try to turn a frog into a prince overnight. It's not going to work. You have all the pieces necessary to gradually build a championship team the old fashioned way: by earning it. Continue to allow Devo, Lopez, Morrow, heck, maybe even Farmar and Vujacic, to develop into real teammates, that are comfortable playing with each other. Keep Favors. Give him minutes and be patient when he struggles. Can you imagine the T-Wolves trading KG, or the Magic trading Superman because they struggled as a rookie?
This Franchise needs to earn respect, not try to buy it. With all of the draft picks they have, they are in prime position to build the team they want at a low cost. This years first rounder is bound to be a top five; I'm not sure Irving will declare because of his injury, but Perry Jones is a 6-11 freak. Imagine him and Favors running the break!? I include a minor trade proposal as well; Hump and D.James(and the pick we got from the Lakers) to Indy for Paul George and Dahntay Jones. If the Pacers remain in the Hunt for the eighth seed they will be looking for another four, and the Nets need a small forward who can score pretty bad. Just an idea. Right now, as a Nets fan i feel totally alienated. Why am I rooting for guys who might be on another team in a few weeks? Does the Nets management really expect anybody to give a crap about this team if it is so obvious they don't? True Nets fans are few and far between; they don't need a big name who's heart is across the river in order to stand by their team. I entreat Proky, B.King, Yormark, whoever...Do it the right way! Don't turn my team into the Mets of the NBA! Grow your own superstars from within, like the Phillies did, and then you will become a destination everyone wants to be a part of.
Thank You,
