Morrow, Brooks Battling It Out
by Net Income on Dec 11, 2011 6:04 PM EST

PrintAvery Johnson has been saying nice things about MarShon Brooks the last couple of days (well, at least about his offense) and did it again Sunday between the team's first two-a-day sessions.
"Anthony (Morrow) and MarShon really have a good battle going on," Johnson said. "And they’re so different. Anthony is Anthony, and now you’ve got the young kid who is very creative with the ball, can score, can play above the rim, really can get out and run."
The Nets seem like they've got a good thing going with young guards. Ben Couch talked to the two back-up point guards about playing overseas, Jordan Farmar in Israel, Sundiata Gaines in Georgia.

if we get Howard what we really need is players that can play,
because getting D12 and absorbing Turk, will prevent us to sign any more good players… So we will really need some help from the rookies.
And by the way, I’m not liking how J-Will started, it seems he’s out of shape, he has background problems with weight, so he better get straight if he wants to play in NBA.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
Marshon is my XFACTOR want this boy to turn into a J Crawford off the bench scoring machine...
Mini Manu
J crawford?
Have you seen this kid play? He’s a raw Kobe Bryant

May seem like nothing to most but I don't fall in love with a lot of players
Brooks is a rare player that I like and even rare that he’s on my Fav team. List of Vince cause I knew he was going to be awesome, Penny Hardaway before everyone jumped on the wagon, LeBron (NI brainer) , although I had a few arguments on whether he’d pan out. Now there’s Brook , the only player I would have maybe thought to take before him is Kyrie Irving . Brooks is better than Crawford so we can stop the comparisons now.

NBA teams just notified that Gilbert Arenas, released by Orlando via the amnesty clause, has cleared waivers and becomes free agent
Official member of the I Love You Jerry25 Club
Teams for Arenas that may be a good fit
Portland, OKC, Houston, Golden State.
He could come off the bench and play either guard spot, 15-20 minutes a night

I would offer Gil the min.
dwight wants him. anything more to please dwight is good for me

STEIN
So no cap-room teams chose to bid on Arenas and he’s free to negotiate w/anyone. Told he hopes to land on same team that trades for Dwight
wow

wow is right.
it really sounded like Dwight liked Arenas and maybe wanted him to stay
by DJ HeavyDuty on Dec 11, 2011 6:10 PM EST up reply actions
he said he would not have waived him

roll the dice
dwight sounded like he wanted to play the guy, could use a backup pg maybe a discounted one too, let farmar try to earn a starting job somewhere else and trade him.
by Andrew Flynn on Dec 11, 2011 6:11 PM EST up reply actions
if we trade Farmar and pay him very little
than sure

I really think Marshon is going to be a great player for us
im happy we cant include him in the Dwight trade thanks to 30 day rule
He has a crazy wing-span!!!!
potential to be a great defender
if you read his twitter you would think other wise.

oh god his last name is Williams.

Rovel
No one bid on Gilbert Arenas according to @ESPNSteinLine. That means the Magic will owe him $62.4M even if he signs as free agent.
BIG then HEDO NEEDS to GO…we are the best OPTION!!!!
the Nets should trade for Dwight and Turk, sing Kirelenko to vet min, sign another PF (Williams or ball grabber) to biannual exception
then sign Arenas for vet min
Williams/Farmar/Gaines
Morrow/Arenas/Brooks
Turk/James
Kirelenko/Williams/William
Howard/Petro
still have flexiblity to trade Morrow or Farmar
Interesting, but it most likely means nothing.

We should stick to Marshon and Morrow in this thread
Give them some love leave D-12 in the other threads.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
agreed despite the fact that D12>>>>Morrow+Brooks

Morrow is a great shooter
but Brooks will have an all around offensive game, will be at the very least a great 6th man.

I still think Marshon will be a allstar st some point in his career
Has a better head on his shoulder and more complete game than Crawford, better passer and defender etc.

Yeah, huge kobe fan
when i migrated to America, fell in love with B-Ball, and Kobe became my favorite player (in 2004-2005) when all that Shaq/Kobe crap was going on
Then, When I moved to NJ became a Nets fan.
So I root for both…

and just like its off
still testing i guess
Whoever was on during that short time that it was on
said that it was just a test. They will back soon I guess though.
I think it's fine.

Im loving this kid
He will become a fan favorite. So much passion and heart in his game. I feel like playing along with a superstar like Deron will motivate him. Competitiveness, hard work, dedication are infectious, and feel he along with all our players will benefit from having a true leader and star. Even more so if we land Dwight which will raise expectations.
Except Outlaw.. he is impervious to this infection. He gets paid like outta this world so he bought an antidote.
Funny but watching him live he moves like him
No lie even at the free throw line. (Not saying he is the next Kobe as some would accuse me of saying)
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
"Henry Sanchez" already made that joke earlier in this thread.
J-Kidd to D-Will
lol my bad
i just opened this thread and thought that should be the first thing i should say. :-)
I read rumors when Kobe was about 11
he started donating sperm….maybe this is his long lost child?

Gilbert Arenas expected to attract some interest from the Nets. D-Will recently asked about him and expressed interest, source says.

hmmm
dont know what to make of this. guess it couldnt hurt on the cheap. do we try to move Farmar though?
by sheepareevil on Dec 11, 2011 6:32 PM EST up reply actions
6'4 215lbs that's big enough to play shooting guard no?
He was a good at that @ Arizona if the Nets sign him he can be instant offense off the bench perfect in the new uptempo offense.
Go NEts!!!
"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
Although
that might be awkward.. they HAVE to move Farmar and soon if they plan on going after Arenas
Honestly i watched a lot of Magic games last year and when Arenas is in he's hard to stop on offense.
and we’ll probably going to have to give up farmer in the trade so I say if he comes cheap why not.
I was reading...
various reports claiming he was working his * off trying to rehabilitating and says he feels great. This seems like a low risk, very high reward type of thing with Gaines as or third stringer
agreed
what’s the worst that could happen? no one else wants him so he’ll be cheap

Brooks is going to end up the starter
And shock everyone. This kid will be known as the steal of this draft. I have a feeling he’s gonna be a star in the league. He clearly has the work ethic to improve his game.
yeah, of course depends on the matchups...
but we will definitely see that!
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
If we sign Quick Draw arenas , Howard will demand to be traded here...He said that he liked him , did he not....????
Didn’t the Nets also pass up arenas in the draft for someone else …??/…Brandon Armstrong…???
Great I hope Brooks fullfills what I'm expecting from him... A Scoring Machine.
He seems to have the all package offensively, good dribble, good shooting, great slasher, great touch around the basket, and if he really is mentally though like he seems to be, he’s to be for sure a player in this league.
Great battle, Morrow is a spot up shooter and Brooks more creative, excellent combo to have.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
I feel bad for Anthony Morrow....
I bet he wasn’t expecting this kind of competition this early…..I hope that they become good friends and teamates…..
I think Morrow knows his role...
… he has some limitations, and knows he can’t be a starter in any team of the league, he’s very unathletic, can’t defend and can’t dribble, but he has super shot, he’s role his perfect off the bench. He will get better even more this year, second season with the team, and if we really get D12, he’s going to be open all the time, and we know what will happen.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
there's few players better than Agent Zero when he's on range
He’s a threat to shoot as soon as he passes half court and he’s available?
There was talk about getting Crawford, well this guy’s better. BK make it happen.

Praise from the coach
Anthony and MarShon really have a good battle going on," Johnson said. "And they’re so different. Anthony is Anthony, and now you’ve got the young kid who is very creative with the ball, can score, can play above the rim, really can get out and run."
He molded his game like Kobe to make it to the NBA now he can learn from Gilbert how to become a star.
"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
Arenas game and also off court issues are not good for team chemistry,
… he has shoot first mentality, that’s great he’s able to take care of the game for himself, but he can’t no longer do that… since the injury his shooting %, is very bad.
If we sign a SG, has to be a defensive specialist, if not let Morrow and the kid get their minutes.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
I hear you he's a nucklehead but
it’s better than giving a deal to someone like Crawford imo.
Sign him to a guaranteed 1 year w/ a team option for a 2nd that should motivate him to keep his nose clean.
This team needs talent he’s in range—pull the trigger.
If he acts up and brings a gun into the locker room, waive him.

When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
what I really want is Dwight, then sign whatever DWill and D12 want.

Orlando's kicking and screaming about losing their favorite toy
When Dwight Howard asked to be traded, the Magic informed him that the team will not let his request dictate their timetable for a decision.
“[S]ources close to the team said there will be no rush to judgment on Howard’s fate, no matter how uncomfortable the relationship might get leading up to the March trade deadline,” writes Sam Amick. “When Howard requested a trade earlier this week, the source said he was told the Magic wouldn’t succumb to the mounting pressure and that Howard should be prepared to play for the Magic for the foreseeable future.”
A complicating factor could be that Orlando is investigating possible tampering by the Nets, the team that is reportedly Howard’s first choice.

Arenas will probably end up on the Heat anywayz
Gilbert Arenas is now an unrestricted free agent after no teams bid on him following Orlando’s decision to use their amnesty clause on him, according to sources.
Arenas hopes to join Dwight Howard wherever he is traded, according to sources.
Miami is also a team that would interest Arenas.
