Deadlines and Commitments - XLIII
It's all about overseas and the D-League right now, with prospects for the 2011-12 season fading daily. No talks are scheduled and court dates seem likely to replace game dates.
There will be some Nets-related basketball played overseas and in western Massachusetts. The Nets now have eight players and draft picks playing overseas: Deron Williams, Jordan Farmar, Sundiata Gaines, Sasha Vujacic, Mario West, Dan Gadzuric,Jordan Williams and Bojan Bogdanovic. We'll continue to follow both Williams, Farmar, Gaines Bogdanovic. And starting Saturday, we'll follow the Springfield Armor.
November 23 - Roster cut-down day in the D-League. Armor has to be at 10 players by close of business.
November 25 - Springfield Armor Opening Night. Armor vs. Maine Red Claws in Springfield.
November 30 - Jordan Williams makes his Polish League debut with Zastal vs.Sopot.
December 1 - ConEd hooks the Barclays Center up to its power grid on a permanent basis, which will quicken the pace of interior construction. Roof should be enclosed sometime in January.
December 10 - NBA All-Stars gather at the IZOD for a charity game sponsored by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. No Nets invited yet, but only a few are left.
December 19 - Last day of Fall Semester for undergraduate courses at Providence College. MarShon Brooks completes his degree requirements.
December 30 - Efes Anadolu plays Besiktas in the Turkish League. Sasha Vujacic vs. D-Will.
January 7 - The absolute drop-dead date for cancellation of the 2011-12 season. If no agreement by this date, expect the entire 2011-12 season will be canceled.
February - Brooklyn Nets unveil their new colors and uniforms. If season has been canceled, expect that the New Jersey Nets will be put to rest at around the same time.
*If the Nets open their season, they have to decide by the night before whether to extend Stephen Graham's contract, at the veteran's minimum or $1.1 million.

Proki wanted and international team! Now he’s got it!
I wonder if we can get a sense of how many players on other teams have gone international: It seems as if the Nets have more than most….. Does anyone know?

It’s like like they’re staying there, they’ll be returning after the lockout.
@Al_Iannazzone: BREAKING NEWS: Nets are close to acquiring Deron WIlliams from Utah, sources told The Record.

makes you wonder
looks like the Nets players got adviced on something before the lockout.
Let the "trade talks" begin !
It’s definitely a good thing.
I bet many players are out of shape…at least we know that the Nets’ backcourt will be in shape when it’s time.

Great that most of our players are overseas...
If the United States was hit by nucleur attack, the Nets will still have a team
and might even have a great chance of making the playoffs…
Plus we wouldn’t have to worry about Deron going to another team since most teams players will all be gone up in smoke…
So basically a nuclear attack will benefit the Nets...
…almost as much as having no season does.
I’m all for it.
What ever helps you sleep at night lol
but the good players that are hard working always stay in shape or find ways to improve lockout or not.

NO team has as many players overseas
The Nuggets have three free agents in China (well, before Smith abandoned his team).

In awesome news
My brother is in Istanbul at the Besitkas game right now and he told me he got me a Deron Williams Besitkas jersey. SIGNED by the man himself.
Of course, the fact that he’s in a much better to do that in Istanbul than I am in New York is a bit of an issue in itself.
Proud to hold season tickets to the only NBA team owned by a Russian oligarch.
Did your brother at least tell Deron he's a huge Nets fan?

I’m pretty sure. He said he’ll get me a signed BC Armia jersey from Gaines too. Not sure he has the inclination to bother getting a Vujacic one.

Aren't you guys a bit worried that
if he comes back to the NBA in SG mode, putting up so many shots, including 3 pointer, his overall game will suffer?

Im talking about his play on the court when the NBA starts back
instead of being D-Willz, he comes Starbury and starts shooting from every angle. I can’t wait to see Brooks play either, but this lockout couldn’t have come at a worst time.

If Deron wants to shoot
And he thinks he’s hot.
GO FOR IT DERON.
