Nets Going Uptempo, More Motion

PrintThe 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".

There's going to need a dam good SF if they want to play in a up-tempo offense.

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
we need athletes
S Williams/Nene will help
and hopefully Superman eventually

I don't know how I feel about this...
is this playing to our strengths? I hope so, because I don’t know the team as well as the players and coaches.
Well there's not much of a team yet
But it doesn’t suit Lopez. Morrow does great on fast breaks though, and James should too
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….

No Lopez runs the floor like a SG lol
he doesn’t go for rebounds, he runs down the floor getting ready to score lmao
Feels good to be back
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.

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.

if thats the reason for the holdup
Then im fine with signing Nene and moving forward. Im very interested in watching Brooks become a star
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.

no deal can be approved till Monday
and if Berger was right, then Nene would be making his decision without waiting on the Rockets.
Cant see that, but maybe I am wrong.

Not sure the Nets gave him 100%
He’s riskier than Nene.
by ZR on Dec 10, 2011 5:23 PM EST up reply actions
Doesn't matter what Tyson considers...
We’re still so QUIET. I wonder what Billy could still be doing.
We need to make this deal before Marshon's 30-day no trade clause is over
He’s going to make other teams’ GM’s drool
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
Houston fans see it as a done deal
I couldn’t imagine why they would be for the trade so I read their site. tHey are already seeing their Pau/Nene frontcourt
i think it is too
otherwise they are giving up way too much.. and why help the Lakers get Paul
plus.. look at Pau’s contract.. HUGE and there is a trade kicker on top of it
they think he is WAY better than Scola
and believe it or not, they think their best SG is…..wait for it…..Courtney Lee!
lol
on the radio they are acting like it's a done deal
still some people want paus brother but as the guy is telling them, no one has bid on Marc because memphis would match it

is getting past his prime.. is one of the highest paid players.. and has had only a few stellar seasons…

Plays cero defense
and is soft as hell. You give Kobe any all-star and that will happen. Pau isnt a superstar and doesnt deserve to be called one.
of course he is
he is also a Hall of Famer.

Absolutely
Pau had one bad playoffs. He has been consistently one of the best big men in the league for years. He’s also a winner in both the NBA and Europe. 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.
66-0
Pau may not be intimidating like KG
but he plays very solid positional and team defense. He carried the lakers frontline by himself in 2008 and had to take on KG, Perk, and Posey

not really.. what if the hold up on nene isnt our interest but his
what if he wants to go to Houston first.. NJ second.. but only will go to HOU if they can max him out
Yeah but the problem is what if we don't end up with D12...
And then we wasted our off season by signing no one.
they are saying he is looking for the better team. Deron is intriguing but if Rockets can land Gasol and can offer the max they are saying nene is a shoe in

They now have huge holes at multiple positions. IF they strike out on Nene which most here hope, they are screwed.

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.

so maybe he is decided on Nets, but Nets need to see CP3 deal first.
Houston can’t make offer to Nene today, so Berger must be wrong, or else Nene will be a Net.
Shawne Williams is supposed to decide tomorrow, so Nets can’t commit without resolution on Nene.

Or to stop them

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,
Good to know that you don’t have to be an actual person to score 15 points a night at the small forward position, you can just be a theoretical basketball player who is hypothetically on the Nets.
lmao
DWill can make an average player LOOK really goof

I doubt it, unless his name is Rose. PG roles on teams are diminishing. Can’t really recall a good PG leading his team to a Championship in recent years

Once the Lakers deal goes down... everything else is in motion.
We lose the Nene leverage, because suddenly he may want to team up with Gasol on the Rockets
Why would he want the Nets, for basketball purposes?

Because if the Magic wont trade him to the Lakers
There is no way he can get there. They will have no cap space, If they trade him to the Nets, and Deron Williams is there, you think he wouldnt re-sign?
I just cannot comprehend how
stern nixed the first trade so that the lakers couldnt get dwight howard, and now its looking like the next trade will make it even more likely for them to get howard!!!

So if LA gets Dwight… You take 2 playoff teams in ORL and NO and make them lottery teams. On top of that you take a team that was upcoming like the Rockets(really came on with Lowry last season) and you make them worse. Add to that the teams that could be effected from waiting things out. That Cav’s manager might be a schmuck, but I feel him when he says we might as well rename 25 teams the Washington Generals.

Why you say that
Rockets fans love this.
They look at it like this. They just lost Yao. That whole team was built around him and he is gone. They lost their coach. they need a new identity. Kevin Mchale isn’t even expected to be the team’s coach too long. Some young coach that was coaching the D League will take over once Mchale contract is over. Kevin is to groom him along the way.
any way Rockets fans love this move especially if it gets them Nene which they seem pretty sure it will

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
