Lockout Rules Lifted Wednesday

in 2011 Free Agency
Email
PrintMultiple reports state that NBA executives have been told that they can start talking to agents about signing players at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, and practice facilities will open to players on Thursday. Deals can't be official until December 9 when free agency and training camps open, but there's nothing to stop teams from making handshake deals.
Coaches are anxious to get players back into gyms and begin working with them, but until December 9, only trainers and strength and conditioning coaches will be permitted on the court with players. Coaches and management can't even watch. Marshon Brooks was supposed to arrive in New Jersey Tuesday while Jordan Farmar and Jordan Williams flew out of Europe on Tuesday night. Damion James has also tweeted that he's on his way to New Jersey.

which means gossip galore in the meantime
2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.

You can bet on it.
Remember the perennial early July “quiet period” when no one was allowed to sign free agents yet the rumors all leaked. By the time the moratorium ended we already knew where everyone was going. 95% of them went down in 2010
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
It was weird that he said "oral"?

So a FA who has a handshake deal in place could work out at his new teams facility before he signs

So I guess this is the NBA's way of admitting
that having training camp and free agency open simultaneously on Dec. 9 was a ridiculous idea. Thus, they’re basically moving up free agency to essentially allow players to be in position for camp on Dec. 9.

Don't be surprised if Proky heads North to talk strategy. He is still in Atlanta.
Maybe he will be at the airport to greet DWill on Friday?
Nets fans should be on hand.
Can we get a heads up on DWill’s flight?
No doubt!
We really should, would show a strong support for Deron and make him feel like he is the king of this franchise. They did it in Turkey for him and thats all he ever talked about was how great the fans were. It’s our job to do the best we can to keep him here.
i think hes going to become a favorite of dwill

DJames is really axious to show his stuff.
Several tweets today suggesting he is in great shape.
Maybe DJames is trying to send a message to BK and DWill to save a big spot at SF for him.
That is why I don’t want to spend more than a discount price for a 3 year contract for AK47.
Then Proky could move him to management.
I have an even better feeling about DJames now as I did about Hump over 1 year ago.

NAME ONE team that would have a better top three in their front court. I am sure you could find 1-3 to argue.
Then add a top 2-3 PG and solid shooters and wing guys. These guys are going to be wide open all day long.

He have to except the fact that Lopez isn’t a dominating big man in the paint, but a nightmare match up for Centers who don’t like to play on the perimeter. The same type of player made Kristic a fan favorite here.

Granted he settled alot
mostly because he was the only Net oppositions had to stop, so he was double teamed a lot. But he can’t do it by himself. Not comparing Lopez to a star, but many stars with a jumper usually rely on there jumper alot to bail them out.

Isn’t that what an agent is supposed to do- create a “market” for their clients?

Unrealistic but I had an idea
This wont happen but I would totally be on board if the Nets started the season with Josh Smith and Nene as the starting 4 and 5.
The Nets could sign Nene to a contract of roughly 12-15 million and put together a trade with Atlanta surrounding Lopez and Smith. After ridding themselves of Outlaws contract the nets would still have enough flexibility to sign a decent SF.
I know this wont happen but it was just a thought.
i'm not a big lopez fan
cant teach toughness and he has zero, mentally or physically.
Because Josh Smith is just the model of toughness?

Lopez does.

Not a bad idea....
but BK will never trade Lopez for Smith, it would only be for Howard, no less…
dont be so sure of that
Williams became available suddenly so another player could always be had. Signing Nene puts the Nets in position to trade Lopez for a non big. Lopez needs to represent a star player at some point and I think theres a better chance of that happening through a trade than it does on the court.
And Josh Smith is not that star player.
He’s not even a real star at all.

like i said
it was just an idea and was curious what people would think. I also think the Nets would likely get the better assets in return in a trade with Atlanta.
Not married to it. In reality I want the Nets to remain patient and wait for the time to strike whether it be in FA or during the season. There are so many ways they can go and it wont be until Deron Williams resigns or signs elsewhere that we’ll know if they chose the right path.
i agree. a big man that’s gives 20 pts a game should demand a little more

Lopez
can score but he has some serious faults in his game. Toughness both mental and physical, immaturity, lack of basketball iq and commitment are all issues with him. Does anybody really think Brook is busting his tail to be the best player he can be in the offseason? He doesnt have “it”

Really do not want Nene, IMO he isnt worth more then 10 million a year, he has never really done anything in his career
He played with Melo, Billups, AI, Andre Miller, KMART and his teams have never been that good..dont see how he will help that much.. David West or Tyson Chandler please
out of curiosity
what would you be willing to be these players if Nene is worth 10 million?

what do yout hink is a good contract for west or chandler

Kittle’s has a career ending back injury, Martin never found his knee’s, we used the picks we got from the Nuggets to land the best dunker and one of the best scorers, to pair with the best playmaker and passer. Then injury bug hit Kristic, Kidd developed a migraine that he was traded away from, then we get the great Yi , and we finally get the young stud in Lee. Make matters better the Heats get Lebron, Bosh, and Wade and the Nets land Petro, Graham, and Outlaw. Its been an interesting 4-5 years for us Nets fans lol

it all comes down to what he is asking for
12-15 as most said it here is acceptable. Shows Deron we are trying to put a competitive team together, and if Dwight is on the table, Lopez would still be available.
You put Nene and get him 2-3 EASY baskets from what Deron can provide, he will outshine k-mart when he was with Jkidd.
No pass first PG has ever played with Nene, and they had two season when they had AI and Melo who took 70% of the shots for Denver combined.
15 is not exceptable, what has he done in his career to get 15 a year? We only offered Boozer like 12
by RandyOreens on Nov 30, 2011 12:19 AM EST up reply actions
His TS% is off the chart man
he averages like 15PPG with only 8 shots. We double his shot attempts, he averages like 30PPG. We would be stupid not to sign this underrated player. Its a steal for us to get this guy, like how it was a steal to lockup Outlaw for 5 years.

The New Jersey Nets are prepared to offer a trade package featuring Brook Lopez and two future first-round picks to acquire Dwight Howard before the Orlando Magic center becomes a free agent in July 2012, according to sources close to the situation.
Sources told ESPN.com this week that, to sweeten the proposal, New Jersey would likewise offer to take back the contract of Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu, who has three seasons left on his contract worth just under $35 million. Absorbing Turkoglu’s remaining salary would become financially feasible for the Nets after the expected release of swingman Travis Outlaw

If Dwight does leave, coming away with Lopez (who is better than anything the Nuggets got for Melo) is the only way he's saving his job
They can amnesty Arenas, and get rid of Hedo in this trade too. Suddenly, they no longer have terrible contracts weighing them down, and have a new young center
Your guys bash Lopez
and you think the Magics consider Lopez a prize for losing Howard?

I can see Lopez is going to come down with the symptoms we saw in Favors
until he either gets traded or wants nothing to do with the team thats trying to deal him.

Lol, you guys keep cracking jokes on my star Center
I will miss him if he gets traded, but I’m not holding my breath on this rumor. I’ve seen this with the Melo Drama before, and Otis will drag this down to the end til he robs a team. All 30 teams in the NBA will put there trade in for sure lol

We’ll see how this plays out though. Melo drama II

Sorry but BK doesn’t have a clue how to be a GM.
I hope people don’t get their hopes up too much because this is a pretty lame offer the Nets are making. Here’s why.. if the Magic don’t say yes right away, Lopez is going to play badly and the Magic are going to reject the trade entirely.
if team is looking to start over they need lottrery picks and Best player available
Nets is the best team to give any type of offer

I should add that the reason I think it’s lame is because it’s a public offer. Billy should be making calls to everyone in the league but why oh why does every single thing the Nets do get whispered to the press?
I smell a Yormark.
yeah
thats what i dont like either..these public trade rumors burned us last yr.
It does send the right message to players that we are aggressive and want to add talent to win!

Trade rumors always find themselves public.
Look at the Rondo rumors, the Chris Paul rumors, the Roy amnesty rumors, wait til tomorrow, half the league is going to be playing for the Knix and the Lakers by 3:47PM EST.

But while the Clippers like Paul, sources say they like Dwight Howard even more. The Clippers have made it clear to executives throughout the league that they will do whatever it takes — outside of trading Griffin — to get Howard, who will become a free agent at the same time as Paul, either this season or next summer. So they will not move the players they’ll try to use to get Howard to New Orleans for Paul.
It must be frustrating for Otis Smith to read these headlines that are mostly just made up by ESPN.
Don't let the rest of posters see this
there all celebrating already on the other post lol

It's OK Sterling is probably somewhere stealing a single mother's welfare check while she's at her second job and blogging about it.
I don’t see anyone willingly playing for that guy without being drafted there or Baron Davis.
