Avery: "I Need a Training Camp"

Specifically, Avery Johnson was addressing how he's put on seven extra pounds this off-season and needs a camp to sweat it off, but coach obviously would like to see his players, perhaps know who his players will be.
"There's always something to do," said Johnson at a youth camp at the PNY Center Sunday. Previously, he's talked about using the time to work with his assistants on game strategies and with the front office on free agent planning. He's also headed to the Barclays Center construction site Wednesday to get the latest on the arena, which has become a focus.
"We're different from some other teams because we have a new building being built, and we think this building is going to be really, really special," He said. "As a matter of fact, I'm going over on Wednesday to take an updated tour of the Barclays Center, so fortunately we have that to think about." One thing he's like to check out is progress on the "Nets campus" within Barclays, the term used to describe the team's locker room and other facilities.

Need Training Camp!
DWILL needs training camp to learn to do things “Avery’s way”, and we certainly need a training camp for MarShon. But if Stephen Graham is in our training camp, I will boycott the first regular season game…if there is a first regular season game. I think Stern cancels another two weeks this morning. The players are going to freak at missing two paychecks.
The owners are now in the driver’s seat. AND….I didn’t make it during the D-League tryouts over the weekend. My “shot” wasn’t falling….

We need more than a training camp to work out things

elone can you post any highlights from this, here?
The chat is blocked from my office and I would love to see what the consensus is there re Dwight.
I was able to see the comment string below but the main chat is blocked. It seems like a lot of knick fans are there thinking that they are getting CP3, which still drives me crazy. I am not sure how sports writers can universally ignore cap restraints and think the knicks can sign CP3, DWill or Dwight..(and by the way the cap isn’t getting more friendly after the lockout is over).
Most of the usual nonsense
Thorpe responded to a “Dwight and Deron in BK” with “Sure but how do the Nets get it done?”
Facepalm.
Nothing that has indicated the Nets, or any other team, as a frontrunner. I don’t think anyone knows anything though.

there will be a TON of injuries if
the season ever begins. In fact i think it will be worse than it is for the NFL.

Tom Brady has to be the poster child for this statement.
