Nene Decision by Day's End?

in 2011 Free Agency
Email
PrintKen Berger is tweeting that Nene is expected to decide on a "hefty offer" from the Nets later Saturday. Berger notes the most the Nets can offer him is $64 million, apparently the max.
Nets officials have been increasingly confident that the Nets will come away with the 6'11' PF/C from Brazil who has played his entire career with the Nuggets.
But if the NBA approves the revised Chris Paul deal, as expected, the Rockets will have enough to match the Nets offer, tweets John Hollinger. "Would seem to me Nene is waiting on this Pau trade. Rockets could go 4-64 or thereabouts if they wanted to," he wrote.
If Nene were to accept the offer and sign with the Nets, it would be the most ever the Nets have ever given a free agent who wasn't already a member of the team. It would also be among the largest ever given a Nets players, behind only Jason Kidd, Jayson Williams, Vince Carter, Keith Van Horn and Richard Jefferson.

I still haven't heard an expanation as to why Nets signed SheWill unless his Vet Min salary doesn't count against the valuabe cap space?
I thought you usually sign the Vet Min players later.
could be partially or non guaranteed
Sean May deal last year bevore he got hurt was partially guaranteed, at $100K
"It's as sweet as it ever was, I'll tell you. Now, hopefully, we started something and we can win some more championships, but we're going to enjoy this one right now. Have a little champagne." --Julius Erving, May 12, 1976, ABA champion Nets locker room.
What about Marshon signing? Couldn't that wait a few days? How much subtracts from the cap space?
Is it same as a cap hold? about 480K?
Cap hold for unsigned first round picks...
… set by the rookie scale, not vet min.
I think
MarShon signed for 110% of the rookie scale or whatever the usual max multiplier of the rookie scale teams can sign rookies to.
Don't care about his salary.
Only care how much it subtracts from available cap space to signing other FAs.
Chart say $954,000 which is way more than a Cap Hold.
Why couldn’t Nets wait a few days, unless it counts the same as a Cap Hold.
Once he's signed,
you should care about his salary. The difference between the rookie scale and his salary is what we lose in cap space. Probably only around 100k
Finally some sense.
It both satisfies a cap hold and only cost an addition 100K which could be similar to SheWill case.
Next signing would satisfy cap holds with 12 Nets.
Which group would you rather have? I'm inclined to say A.
A)D-will/Farmar/Gaines
Morrow/brooks
AK47/James/Graham
Nene/hump/jwill
Lopez/petro (d-leaguer) retain both 2012 picks. Flexibility.
Or B)
D-will/Farmar/Gaines
Morrow/Brooks
Turkoglu/James
Hump/jwill
Dwight/petro (d-leaguer) no picks. no flexibility.
u are thinking to hard
D-will and Dwight is better than anything

It's Howard or bust.............
I feel once this CP3 trade goes down, which will probably not include Bynum, Nene will then sign with Houston (which sounds like his first choice) and Howard will be standing for either us or Lakers depending how much salary they are taking back. The only reason Nene is waiting is to see if the CP3 deal goes through, if it does he will go there if not he’ll try and come here.
I think Dwight's coming here regardless
I think he wants to play with Deron and Morrow. Fegan’s pulling all the strings.

i'm just going to keep telling myself this is just to pressure Orl

Of course not
This is all posturing. Let the CP3 trade happen first, so BK sees if we have to increase our offer or not.

They never had Carter and Martin on one team.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
Nene has the same agent
as Howard, so im just thinking Howard and Nene are using it as Leverage now that the CP3 deal is in the works and almost completed. Howard will be a Net. They are using this to scare Orlando into thinking if he doesnt get traded to the Nets he will walk for nothing..
Are you really that confident that worst case scenario is Nene takes Nets offer?
What about Denver paying more?
Nets are willing to forget about Nene if Orl gives up DH, so why should Nene be so nice to Nets?
Cause he might be different than everyone else
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
I don't think so....
They are waiting on the CP3 decision to see what LA can offer them or what LA has left to offer them. Nene is waiting also to see if Houston can come up with some more money b/c he’ll sign there and play next to Gasol. Nets are waiting because nobody will commit to them, either Nene or Howard as of now. Hopefully they can land Howard but LA will be there too.
Too much noise
If this were the old Regime of Thorn, I’d say we are getting nothing, because when you hear this much information it means it’s over. But the King regime may be all about this press coverage. My gut says we are getting nothing because of all the smoke. Remember, Melo collapsed and DWill came without a sound.
The Nets need to sweeten the pot for Howard
Throw in Damion James!
If thats what it takes to get Dwight Howard, JUST DO IT, give them Lopez, the two 1’s and James.
Just ask Otis what it'll take
and do it.

no according to him
Jimmer Fredette said it was a lock Nene and Howard to Nets.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
What would make Jimmer say that?

I get the feeling
There’s going to a huge announcement that says
3 team deal in which we get both nene and howard
Thats what i have heard
Through someone in the league. That they think Howard is a lock for the Nets with Nene folowing
I don't care if Nene comes with Dwight
Personally, it would be great if they were both here, but Dwight is the prize. Nene is gravy if we have Dwight.

then we wait for the next star...
to become available….maybe Lopez will surprise everybody this year and become the center we all think he should be…
And while you're waiting...
… better start planning how to replace Deron.
Nene would easily be the best FA from another team the Nets have ever signed.
Bottom line is Orlando management is an unwilling trade partner- they don’t want to trade Howard, and the Nets offer ain’t blowing them away- and the Nets can’t force them to trade.
I have to say if we don't land Dwight
I’m pumped to see Brook this season. Really like the guy.

Let nene and lopex dominate let orl pick which one they want
But we not takin hedo if we sign Nene
If the Nets have 21 million in cap space
We give 16 to Nene.
Can we still do a Dwight trade after?
rough figure of 5 million remaining. Dwight makes 18 million. We need to send out 13 million roughly to make it work
Brook makes 3 million. Farmar 4. Morrow 4. Petro 3.25
I think it’s doable somehow
thats already included in the 21 mil cap space
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
prediction- Nene to Houston
I think they have made him feel more wanted and that is important to players.

RT @NBAonESPN: RT @chadfordinsider: Lots of speculation that Emeka Okafor is in the new CP3 deal. Source says he is not part of trade.
Never thought to ask if Nene has Twitter? I assume NOT.
He needs to be reminded every 5 minutes that we have DWill and a Young Brook to grow with, and he can play PF with Nets.

I’m sure the new deal has them getting picks from the Hornets and the Rockets plus future considerations that if NO every gets a star player again they must be trade to LA for overpriced, injury-prone and overaged players!!! Great deal ffor the league
just the truth my friend......
look at what the Knicks gave up for Melo and what the Nets gave up for Dwill….LA is not even coming close to that with NO.
Different situation imo
Deron and Melo came from 50 win teams. Deron and Melo are not injury prone like Paul is. CP3’s value is simply less.

You don't make any sense
The Nets have done everything they can. They are waiting for a decision by Otis Smith
I agree
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. You have to give Otis whatever he wants. We’ll figure out how to build the rest of the team. As long we have Deron and Dwight for the next decade, i’m sure BK and Proky can fill out the rest of the roster smartly.

im not selling Lopez short.. just saying if Orlando likes Bynum better they have a reason
obviously player evaluation is opinion based. I’d rather have Lopez than Bynum.. but both are pieces and not a #1 or 2 player on a champ
Forgetting we are giving picks as well..
Brook Lopez who has great potential AND two first rounders. That deal is much better than Bynum alone
past few years?
1st season: 8.2
2nd season: 8.7
Only last season where he was recuperating from a bout with Mono did his rebounds average go down.
Wait they said they'd rather Bynum over Lopez?

That's what i remember
Nets lost to Lakers in that game, but Lopez didn’t lose to Gasol and Bynum.
He made like over 30 pts against them.
1 - D. Williams / J. Farmar / S. Gaines
2 - A. Morrow / S. Graham / M. Brooks
3 - T. Outlaw / D.James
4 - K. Humpries / J. Williams
5 - B. Lopez / J. Petro
he could be in the building

He's in his office finalizing the Dwight trade
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
Key word in all this: Leverage
Nets: Using Nene’s max offer as leverage against taking back Hedo’s contract from Orlando
Nene: Using Houston and Denver as leverage against the Nets
Houston: Using Dalembert as leverage against possibility of losing out Nene
LA: Using leverage of Kobe and CP3 to draw in Dwight
Orlando: Using leverage of Bynum and LA against Nets in fight for Dwight
Dwight: Using leverage of Nets and free agency against Orlando
Dan Fegan: Using leverage against anyone and everyone to get what’s best for him and his clients.

QUESTION
Is it not possible to get Dwight and Nene????
I think if we trade for Dwight we can. If we sign Dwight next off-season we cant.

we dont know any of that
We dont really know how they feel about the Nets offer as their have been mixed reports. The only way to still rid them of Turkoglu is to find a 3rd team who wants him….. not likely
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
per ESPN 1 hour ago
The Magic have had talks with the Nets and the Lakers about a potential trade, but talks with the Lakers have fizzled recently, sources said.
Orlando believes the Nets’ package of Brook Lopez, two first-round picks and a willingness to take back Hedo Turkoglu’s three-year, $34 million contract is not enough compensation for Howard.

And theyre stupid. i dont mind throwing more in but if he wants to play here we are doing Orlando a favor even trying to make a trade with them
It's possible but diffcult
Petro and Farmar would have to be shipped off and you could only sign a SF to a 1-year deal

trades are part of business. When you’re traded the other team pays you big bucks
Don’t be a moiso and play the game.
Imagine, if the NBA had the power to just ban players like this for 1-2 years and essentially void their contracts
He didn't have to go to the Knicks, had a no-trade clause
but accepted it b/c they offered to pick up his option. Now he’s complaining about taking that money AND not choosing him team? SMH… I lost all respect for him
really? I'm pretty sure you'd be upset if you had to move every year.
He might have really liked one of the teams hes played for, and then they just traded him away. If you cant stay on a team you start to feel worthless.
new orleans should get him
see their starting 5 i posted above.. pretty good with him actually… i’d put them as a 4 seed in the west

I guarantee you that if he ever has to carry an offense, he’ll completely stop playing D. Everyone knows he has big character issues. It’s easy to go after rebounds when you’re your team’s 4th option on offense
I know the fan view is that he's the better talent

Correction on Shawne Williams: Knicks’ offer is for more than one year, source says.
I think we could be shut out
1) Houston can amnesty Thabeet and sign nene for Max $$
2) nene has pride like all athletes have a lot of pride. Houston has wanted nene all along. I think he feels we are his 2nd choice.
3) all depends on if Magic want Bynum or Lopez. We can offer all of the picks, etc we want. If the Magic feel Bynum is a better player.. they may choose him despite the frills we can add
My fear too... if Billy doesn't get this done in some form
Then wow, he’s not nearly as good of a GM as I thought he was.
He hasn’t signed anyone at all in this free agency period, we still have Outlaw and we’re not nearly as good as we could be with Nene and a new SF
i think it is out of Billy's hands though
He had to hold off on Nene to pursue Howard.
If Magic choose Bynum.. it isnt King.. it is they like Bynum.
And I'd have a hard time faulting him for holding out for the best center in the league

It’s in their best interest to say this even if they like the offer.

How does Nene and Dwight together
make any sense. Nene has to be a backup plan. Why spend money on Nene if our chances of getting Dwight are good. Much rather trade for a starting 3 man. And while Nene is a good player, paying him close to max is kinda ridiculous buuuut it might have to be done.
I don't think we will get both
Some of us are starting to sound like Lakers or Knicks fans, our initial offer isn’t that good and removing the ability to take Hedo back makes it worst.
Try and get Howard and Turk now or Nene and then move from there. Nene and Howard wont be happening.
Why Didnt We Go After David West
Hes only going to get 3 years 27-29 million from Boston. Obviously Nene is better but at double the price ??
hes been cleared to play by doctors
would also have fit nice with Howard
Why Dwight should come to the Nets
The Orlando site hasn’t even broken 200 posts in any thread with all this going on

Important tweet about Houston may go after Dalembert.
Marc Stein
Mavs/Rockets teams at top of Dalembert’s list, sources say. DAL wants him on one-year deal; HOU expected to pursue him if it can’t get Nene
3 minutes ago via UberSocial for BlackBerry
Much less, but he wouldn't work well with Lopez.
Need someone physical who can guard the tougher opponent.
No way Dalembert would choose a 1 year contract with Dallas over a large contract with Houston..
Perhaps Houston won’t match Nets offer after all if they can get Dalember for much less and save space for someone else.
Besides Nene doesn’t want to be a Center. Very important distinction.
I said this
this morning
In houston today the sports radio said that houston is waiting on the Nets and Nene to work things out.

This are the views of non-nets fans
So who do we want more Bynum or Lopez? Bynum is by far the second best Center in the NBA while Lopez is only above average but Lopez has played more games each year on average.
Bynum by a long shot, when he is healthy he is a dominating center. Right now he is a more skilled offensive player than Dwight, and I can see him averaging 25 and 12 if everything comes together for him. Of course he could also get injured and prove an albatross on our cap space. But I would rather risk greatness than accept mediocrity. Which is what Lopez would guarantee. Also getting Pau in a trade as well as Bynum isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Also what about Amare’ & Chandler for Dwight & Turk?
Id rather have Bynum then Amare

I don't think he is.
All he’s proven is that he can be a decent Center when he’s the 5th option on offense while focusing on rebounding and defense.

Honestly, I don't disagree
Brook is a superior offensive center to any center in the league, but everything else is very mediocre. Toughness, rebounding, determination, and wins produced.
Bynum is the better hypothetical “young prospect” but he’s ALWAYS injured. That is a huge huge red flag for players and even more so for big men.
Add to that, the Magic will then be trading their superstar AGAIN to the Lakers, allowing him to team up with CP3 assuring that nobody has the opportunity to win a championship for years.
I would imagine the Magic ownership is under a bit of pressure to NOT create the superteam.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Bynum so tough he pick on people 5'7
There is nothing special about Bynum he’s a good rebounder and defender. This only makes an above average player.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
That's even after the trade?
Woah. Not as good as the Nets 15 mil thoug
Dallas may miss the playoffs in the West , the way they are refusing to sign multiyear contracts.
Then it will backfire, because noone with want to play there.
I would laugh hard at Cuban if that happened, but I doubt
still there’s no way they repeat… they’re a 1st rd exit team this year
I’m just confused. Billy king is unwilling to give more for Dwight, then he is willing to give nene 16 mil/yr. so my point is billy and nets don’t want Dwight? Are we just going after nene and forgetting Dwight?
I like nene a lot but If you have a chance at Dwight why not give magic whatever they want?
So many questions very little answers

As mentioned before!!!
D. Stern will NOT allow any scenario on the CP3 revised-trade that will somehow allow LA to get D12. He just wont.
Also, he might hold this trade on his desk through Monday as he need’s to “think”.
Thus, giving time BK to finish it. All we need is Avery to go pull a Mariano Rivera with his “Al-Sharpton” skills.
I doubt Stern stops this trade a 2nd time
With the amount of criticism he got after the first time, no way
He said the initial trade didn't make sense for Hornets(I agree)
He said the Hornets need to acquire young players, multiple draft players. The new deal includes Ebanks and Caracter and I saw somewhere Courtney Lee. Same deal with two below average players and Lee who is decent.
Ric Bucher
thinks the nets trade for howard will happen in a short time.

GET DWIGhT WhiLE IM GONE BILLY
Mbah a Moute could've been a nice signing if this was a normal offseason
Bucks keep him for only 19 million over 4 years
WOW this dwight chase put a damper on our offseason with small roster moves to improve the team
All the effort BK has put in for Dwight will pay off if we actually land him however…still confident we will
"Brook is definitely a guy that loves Orlando," Anderson said, smiling. "He loves Disney. So I’m surprised that he hasn’t reached out and connect with me more about it. "That’s just so down the road to think about right now."
Just to scare people a little, don't forget that Houston could always Amnesty someone like TWill to clear an extra 2 million in cap space for Nene.
They might not do it if they have Dalembert waiting, but remember how the Knicks fooled us by giving away Turiaf and Amnestying Billups.
Speaking of Billups have people read how Pissed off Billups is?
Billups said it is “personal” now. He won’t be a nice guy with the next team (if anyone wants him anymore).
Amare has good reason to be pissed at Knicks also, after willingness to trade him for CP3.
Knicks are really going all in this year
It’s like they wanna sign everybody
They’re in BIG trouble though if Chandler gets hurt. They’re putting their entire defense on to one player
I like the Chandler signing
But he’s not Dwight. He’s not going to carry your defense.
And if they want him to be the least bit useful on offense, they need a PG badly. There is no coincidence that he had the best TS% (and best year of his career period) with JKidd as his PG.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Even if Houston can offer the max, we're offering the same
And honestly, all we have to do is have Deron pick up the phone and say,
“Would you rather be running with my or Kyle Lowry/Johnny Flynn?”
Come on now.
Worried... as we sit still the Knicks are going after J.J. Barea
ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix
Knicks have been in contact with J.J. Barea and are making a strong push to acquire him, source says.
All of these players could be enough...
To make them much stronger
They couldn't be signing him with cap space.
It should be just under the cap.
Do the Knicks have a Full or min-MLE?
NI mentioned min-MLE, but I thought it was a full MLE because they were over the cap on July 1?
Knicks should have been just under the cap after completing the Chandler deal.

I've been thinking.....
Denver was a playoff team every year w/Carmelo…..When Melo left and the knicks players joined the team they were even better……Nene has been with them since he started in the NBA……..He may very well been the star player on that team although Carmelo took all of the big shots and garnered all of the attention….Getting him can be really big for us….Then if we land DHoward we may very well win a championship with our Big 3………
Agreed
I don’t think anyone here is arguing against Nene… Just that we’d rather have D12.

D Will + Lopez + Nene
Not as good as getting Howard but Lopez is a really good player who’ll probably continue to develop under Avery. We’d retain Morrow, Brooks, James…maybe re-sign Hump – that’s not a bad consolation prize and we’d get to watch drafted home grown talent develop. I wouldn’t be thrilled but I wouldn’t be devastated and that should be enough to keep D Will.

S. A. Smith of ESPN stated “TRUST ME ON THIS (his annoying voice)” that this was the reason of the veto. Hence the change of heart on D12 #BrooklynBound.
this is 100% correct, they veto the last trade not b/c of cp# but because LA would still have all the means to trade for Howard and that’s what they don’t want ala Dan Gilbert wrote to the commish
This I do believe...
David Stern doesn’t mind paul going to L.A. He just wants the lakers to structure the deal that will make it hard for them to turn around and make an appealing offer to Orlando…
precisely
i’m surprised people didn’t realize this already. he even said he wants the Hornets to get “young talent”. What young talent does LA have to offer other than Bynum?

The Magic will look TERRIBLE to their fans if they trade Howard for Bynum
1- Orlando loses superman to LA AGAIN
2- Bynum will be injured A LOT
3- Bynum must still serve out a suspension, in a short season too
4- Bynum looked good on defense(mediocre in my opinion) only b/c that’s his main responsibility in LA. If he’s required to carry a team on offense, then he’ll be worse than Lopez on D, knowing his body is going to break down he won’t even try
5- Bynum makes big money, Lopez can be had for 4.1mil next season, Bynum 16.5mil (HUGE difference)
6- The Orlando fans will watch Lopez develop into a 25/9 all-star (getting paid 4.1mil) and see all the players they COULD have had if they only took the picks NJ offered, while Bynum will walk after next season if he hasn’t filed for medical retirement by then and Orlando will be stuck with 2nd rnd picks in weak drafts
just like Denver is looking bad now (and will look worse) knowing what Utah got from us, a starting front court a Favors and Kanter, on the cheap for YEARS to come, and an all-star PG on a good contract, compared to reading news about Wilson Chandler in China…
