A Shattered Roster Flies Apart

by Net Income on Nov 20, 2011 9:51 AM EST in 2011 Free Agency

As soon as Jordan Williams settles in Poland, the number of Nets players and draft picks overseas will again reach eight. Deron Williams (Turkey); Jordan Farmar (Israel); Sundiata Gaines (Georgia); Sasha Vujacic (Turkey); Dan Gadzuric (China); and Mario West (Italy) along with second round picks Jordan Williams (Poland) and Bojan Bogdanovic (Turkey) are all either playing or getting ready to. A ninth, Ben Uzoh, spent some time in Russia but returned.

Except for Deron Williams, Farmar and Gaines and the two picks, all the others are free agents. A couple of the others expected to be back, if only as camp invitees. And if the season is cancelled, Gaines too will be a free agent, his contract covering only this season. Gaines was the latest to play, scoring 16 points on 4-for-12 shooting and handing out five assists for B.C. Armia of Georgia Saturday night. Farmar may play Sunday for Maccabi Teal Aviv.

The Roster is somewhat United via Twitter, which needs some updating on NetsDaily

DJames (@KONJames10) needs to be added, and Ben Uzoh canceled his twitter acct.

So should NBA writers – @RicBucher , @Chris_Broussard , @ChrisMannixSI , @daldridgeTNT @stephenasmith and @SheridanHoops be added.

It may be reading too much, but @bkdefend (Billy King) follows all of the current available Nets players and 2 rookies, except for Petro, but he does follow Hump, Vujacic, Wright and DwightHoward but not Gadz.

You can draw your own conclusions.

We follow Damion James

both on Twitter and in the left hand column. Uzoh may have cancelled his account but some come back, so he remains.

We follow all the writers you list on Twitter, having adding stephen a most recently.

Wright, I dont believe, has a Twitter account. Hump and Vujacic don’t do a lot of tweeting.

You can draw your own conclusions, Jerry.

Yes, I did miss DJames, which you added, and you may follow all those writers on your own NetsDaily Twitter, but none are listed on the left hand side of the home page of NetsDaily, under Social Networking for others to access. They might be obtained indirectly under “Sources”.

I was wrong in that BK Does follow Petro, and he also follows @bwright34, although it is not verified and he doesn’t tweet anymore.
