Nets Going Uptempo, More Motion

The Nets have gone through a couple of practices while the rest of us monitored Twitter feeds and worked the ESPN Trade Machine to within an inch of its life.

One big change, Deron Williams reports, is that he will play off the ball, and uptempo. The Nets will even borrow some ideas from the Besiktas playbook.

"He likes a little more of our motion and how we have him running off screens a little bit more this year," said Avery Johnson. "So teams don’t necessarily know where to find him as much as they did last year."

The team has posted video of interviews with Deron Williams and Johnson following Friday's first practice.

A relaxed D-Will talked about how playing for Besiktas helped him keep in game shape, adding that "all of our point guards" looked ready. He talked about the goal of making the playoffs with this team or with whatever team fate deals them. Johnson had particular praise both MarShon Brooks' offensive game and readiness, which he called "pretty impressive for a rookie".

Goes with Deron's indications last year

He didn’t like Sloan’s offense because he thought it was predictable

He also likes to push the break a lot (though sometimes he forces it)

I hope we actually achieve it, we were supposed to be uptempo last year as well, but we couldn’t force turnovers

that's what i'm worried about most

Brook’s rebounds definitely took a hit because Avery wanted him to get back on offense. will they get even worse now?

Brook is backwards, he runs and doesnt rebound. If we just reverse that….

From a purely statistical standpoint...

I’m curious to see how “off ball” will effect his assist numbers. He set the bar pretty dang high last season.

Maybe he wants to display his scoring ability again

we all know he can rack up the assists with ease on a mediocre team, but now that his wrist is healed he can obviously put up huge numbers.

by bronxbombers2 on Dec 10, 2011 4:37 PM EST up reply actions  

Oh no doubt… but wondering if we will see a noticeable diff in the asst numbers.

well now that he’s more comfortable with players (namely Brook), i’m sure the assists would go up in the same type of offense as last year. and if they decrease as a result of the off-ball he’s referring to, then maybe they net about the same in the end

by bronxbombers2 on Dec 10, 2011 4:40 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't think we'll actually see him off the ball all that much

Just some plays here and there where he catches and shoots after some screens

I def like the idea of more team movement, instead of PG waiting for C to get into position then going ISO on every play.

never thought about that

but i would assume we could considering players get traded right after they get picked

by bronxbombers2 on Dec 10, 2011 4:41 PM EST up reply actions  

IF they thought he would be a valuable trade asset

and IF they wanted to preserve cap space, they did NOT have to sign him.

While his rookie salary scale number was on the cap, because he is a first round pick, the 20% bonuses rookies get does not count against the cap until they sign.

Denver fans aren't optimistic about keeping Nene and they are also worried about overpaying for Afflalo.

The key to us getting Nene may be in Denver having to tie up money to so as to hold off in overpaying Nene.

They say they may not make the 85% threshold, in which case they have to pay the rest of the NBA the difference, but they get back a lot of luxury tax money.

Prediction-

Nene wants to go to Houston and will if they can max him out and Houston nows this which is why they are in on the deal.. they arent just trading for Pau.. they are getting Pau and nene

Only way the Gasol trade makes sense. How can they send Martin, Scola, and more for just Pau? I think Houston knows they get nene if they do the deal.

On a 1-10 scale, Pau is a 8/10.. Scola is a 6.5/10.

Is Pau worth Kevin Martin and more??? cant see it

The soft thing is insane—he’s a 19, 9 and 1.7 blocks guy who has a 22+ career PER. He has a high salary, true, but I’d take Pau at $21 mill per over Nene at $16 mill any day.

i can attest

Landry and Hayes are two of the most beloved Rockets the last 5 years. Kevin Martin is a good scorer but he’s a ball stopper and bring nothing else to be even on Joe Johnson level.

Scola is a good scorer and passer but is a defensive sieve even at the PF spot and without Yao he gets abused night in night out. He too needs to not be the main guy.

Marc or Nene with Pau >>>>> Martin and Scola. Chase/Lee/T-will/Patterson/Hill will easily duplicate their production

did i mention both are injury prone especially Martin and his 6’7 190 lb frame. Scola has a ton of wear and tear on him like Manu but Scola also plays overweight and his knees were already giving out the last two years.

I cant wait to see DWill up close. He will finally be free to play the game without Sloan. I expect Dwill to be scoring close to 25 points and 12 assists. Lopez or Dwight would score 25. Nene may get 18-20. SF 15pts Morrow 13 Farmar 10. Brooks 10. The problem wont be scoring. Plus the PGs are in game shape. Offense will be fun to watch,

the whole team has been built around Yao since he was drafted

thats why they dumped Francis when they realized the two couldnt co-exist. Thats why Morey finally gave Adleman the boot. Adleman structured them around a healthy Yao and Mcgrady which only happened for about two years of the 6 they were together.

Why do you think he was rolling out scola, hayes, landry, etc as the frontcourt rotation for several years when Yao was injured? and yet they always finished 9th or 10th place going nowhere with 40-45 wins. Now they are finally infusing youth(something adleman refused to do) and are getting a bigger and healthier frontcourt that they can work with for about 4 years
