Nets Practice While They Wait

PrintThe Nets are still short players. Although there's 15 in camp, three are D-Leaguers and two are rookies. The team's best rebounder from last year (Kris Humphries) is fending off questions about his failed marriage, another player (Brandan Wright) has already moved on to Dallas while the rest are waiting (again) on a superstar.
One bit of news out of camp Monday was that the Nets are experimenting with Damion James as a stretch forward, moving into the four spot when the Nets face athletic PF's like Thaddeus Young and Danny Granger, who killed them last year.
"I played every position in college," said James. "I’m big and I’m strong enough to play the 4 spot as well."
The Nets also say they'd vote for Mikhail Prokhorov if they were Russians with Brook Lopez giving the strongest endorsement. "He definitely likes to be in position to help, help people flourish and help create change." Avery Johnson said Prokhorov's ambitions will no effect on the team, that there has been "no dropoff" in supports. He also said Prokhorov would be at the home opener vs. the Hawks. Also, Anthony Morrow was flattered by Dwight Howard's shoutout to him over the summer.

i've decided not to get invested in dwight howard anymore.
otis seems really determined to wait dwight out and call his bluff (delusional in my opinion but what can you do), so I doubt we can get Dwight at this time.
If we do, i might cry from happiness, but if not, we can still field a solid playoff team and win some games, which would be a welcome change.

I respectfully disagree
I think it’s all moisoing in public and that Fegan and BK are doing work behind closed doors.

lupo, i'm gonna be frank with you
your confidence makes me less confident that we will get dwight.
remember lebron?
And Melo
Yes, I know. I’m over the top, but this is different. No presentation. No forcing the player to want to be with us. We didn’t have Deron at the time. We’re his 1st choice. Deron’s his best friend. They talk all the time. BK’s been silent. It’s completely different.
As for me, well, I tried telling myself i’d not got involved like this again, but I can’t help it. Sorry if I make you less confident.

Free Agent signings can be traded 90 days afterwards, correct?
Then we’ll know more after Friday. Anyone signed after December 16 cannot be traded this season. If the Nets make a big money signing after that, the chance to trade for Dwight + Hedo will be nearly financially gone.

Most importantly, Avery on Lopez:

I'm convinced Billy King has spent the last several days watching D12 videos on YouTube
The Nets have a handful of NBA players on their roster… someone should tell the GM that Dwight only plays one position.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Dwight Howard
We’re not getting him. We don’t even have the best offer out there, and the GM at LAL media day stated they are working on ‘big deals’ at the moment.

Bro, the Dwight staying is all posturing
Otis knows his job is in jeopardy. He won’t get fired if he trades or ’’boots’’ Dwight, as you say. He’ll get fired if he keeps him, and gets nothing for him. He knows what has to be done, and Fegan and BK are doing the work in privacy.

He will end up with the Lakers...
they always do. Lakers will get a 3rd or 4th team involve to make this happen. I can’t see the Nets getting him. Just don’t see it. I don’t…right?
Or you hope?
It’s too fast to give up.

The Lakers are not god. They don’t get everything. In fact, it’ll be harder for them to make a Dwight deal now after all the moiso with CP3.
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
yep
Lakers are not even run by Phil Jackson anymore, which was a bigtime allure for lots of players. Lakers run by Mike Brown is a different story I’d say. Seems like LA is about to go through some reworking, and their depth is questionable overall at this point.

Keep in mind.
It still hasn’t been shown how L.A. could absorb Turk’s contract… also, would they be willing to deal Gasol and Bynum?
My worry is Stern
wants to get CP3 into Orlando and will allow a trade to go through for it.

My theory
is that Stern intends not to deal Paul at all until they get a legit owner, and after the whole controversy with blocking the L.A. deal, he will just be having all of the offers rejected.
Looks like we have deals on the table
All this silence not even one move has to be something good … I know everyone including me are going nuts but I’m not worried BK is good on doing his homework otherwise proky will hang him …lol

Why aren't we after Reggie Williams
He’s a SG but I’m pretty sure he can play the 3. Pretty good offensive player even if he doesn’t play good defense. He can shoot the 3 well and puts up 15 ppg.
We will exceed the team 'williams' limit

Pretty sure we're trying to get an all-Williams team.
Need to sign Shawne Williams and then Reggie Williams.
PG-Deron Williams
SG-Reggie Williams
SF-Shawne Williams
PF-Jordan Williams
C-?
yes, he can defeintely play the 3, he's even listed as SF...
and I like him a lot to, he’s a scorer, can slash and shoot well from anywhere, and has no ego so a good fit, but the Nets might not make any move until they sign Howard or Nene.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
I’m big and I’m strong enough to play the 4 spot as well.
No, you aren’t. Maybe against soft, perimeter fours, but not against real ones. Not only are you giving up inches and strength, but you’re taking what is the best part of your game (rebounding) and turning it into a weakness.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Did you really just compare Damion James to Chuck Hayes?
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Did you reallly
Just say Damion James is too small to guard 4s when Hayes who’s smaller is guarding 5s?
Chuck Hayes has the strength to do that
Damion James does not.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Are you telling me
It’s impossible for James to not add weight? Sure 6’8 is small for a 4, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to guard 4s.
Also, James had a tough enough time producing as a SF
I’d rather not marginalize him any further.

Theory
Fagan is clients with all three… Nene, Dwight and Hump?
Dwight being the most important gets to ‘chose’ or go first.
He clearly wants NJ, Dallas or LA.. and Orlando is a distant 4th.
Nene know he’s going to get a near max from Denver or NJ is fine with either team.. or even Houston or Orlando.
Hump just ones to get a contract and get paid. It’s as though he’s going to be included in a deal and he’s fine with that.
Orlando gets:
Lopez, Petro, Scola, Martin, 2 NJ #1, Bogdanovic, $3m Cash
Houston gets:
Nene, Hump, Farmar, HOU #1
NJ gets:
Dwight, Hedo, Anderson
Solid theory
Not enough people here understand how important Fegan is in the process. They don’t get how he’s orchestrating this with BK.

Im guessing the entire Nets franchise sees something in MarShon
And they really, really like him. Hopefully, he brings the scoring and penetration we’ve missing. And J. Williams can really crash the boards.
if you watched him at all in college
you can see it all there. the parts of the game that translate well from college to the nba.
they think he can play
particularly Avery.
He dropped for two reasons. He will soon be 23, one of the oldest players in the draft and erroneous reports that he was “a bad kid”. NO evidence of that.

Based on college, not good.
He will play a different role in the NBA though so hopefully, he can focus more on defense now.
My hope is that he can turn into Jamal Crawford
But with better defense.
The Nets could really use a decent volume scorer on their second unit.

i think BK realized howard and nene wont come and he is looking for a trade to d-will !
or im sad enough to think this
Probably the 2nd part
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
Patience, just because we don't know what BK is doing, doesn't mean it's time to drop out on Dwight.
1) Billy has definitely been working on a Dwight deal for the last several days (there is little else to be caught up with)
2) He’s an expert with multi-team deals, meaning he probably killed his cell phone minutes usage a few days ago.
3) He was up at 2:30 AM a couple nights ago (on Twitter, said little), so something is definitely up.
Hmm
1) So has Otis Smith and that hasn’t kept him from making (questionable) moves.
The Nets have been linked to players like Arenas and Butler when they should be looking for good players.
Emphasis on good.

we have to placate Dwight. Even if we don’t get the player, he sees we’re making the effort, unlike Orlando’s FO.

I'd worry about placating Dwight
After getting Dwight.
And, frankly, if Dwight thinks those players are any good, I might just tell him to stick on his post game.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I understand your point, but
What I should have said is that we have to placate him NOW. When he’s here and officially a Net, BK and Deron and him will probably sit down and talk player moves. We’re just copying what he wants from Orlando to show him we’ll do what he wants, which is to have input. Not to worry, my friend.

I didnt think I would say this but...
i think we have to move on from dwight right now, maybe not publicly, but lets not try too hard to pursue him. For now lets sign Nene, maybe RJ or another small forward, lets get better right now and prove to the magic that our tradeable assets are good enough.
i think the magic are willing to go past the “Jan 1st” deadline and will keep howard for an extend amount of time. But once they are ready, and they see how good out assets really are, we can trade for him and even lower the price because desperation would have set in.
here we go, this is the plan
wednesday: call otis and give him till thursday night to decide on trading dwight to us or we can’t take hedo.
thursday: if otis won’t deal howard, sign nene 4/60, ak47 3/15, mcroberts 2/8, reggie williams 3/15. adds up to about 29 mill in salary, so we amnesty outlaw, cut graham, and backload a couple of the contracts.
lineup:
williams/farmar/gaines
sg: morrow/brooks/williams
sf: ak47/williams/james
pf: nene/mcroberts/james
c: lopez/mcroberts/petro
move forward, hopefully we win games, but if we lose a lot, we first call otis one last time, and then trade deron to LAC for gordon, aminu, Minny’s pick and Kaman.
we then have 3 picks in a loaded draft and a bunch of great young players to move forward with, or we have deron/dwight. it’s win win.
I'd like to see Marshon and Morrow in the starting lineup
I think its more important to get your five best players in the starting lineup than to get the ideal size at every position, so I would start Marshon at the 2 and Morrow at the 3

No he can't
He’s a RFA, he either signs the Qualifying Offer and is stuck with the Nets at least 1 more year, or signs an offer from another team, the Nets match, and he’s stuck with the Nets for the duration of THAT offer too.
Because we need to field a team out there
One can understand that logic. I would also understand if Deron told Billy not to make a move because Dwight is coming 100%.
We’ll know, if we sign Nene, then we’re moving on from Dwight for the time being – or at least we’re eliminating the cap space that Orlando could’ve used to rebuild.

The longer Otis waits to deal D12, the worse it gets for the Magic
If this drama goes into January, then Dwight becomes disgruntled b/c he loses his Bird Rights and becomes less valuable to other teams with less games left in the season, and 1 less yr on his extension.
The distraction of the D12 drama will follow the team around like a circus and cost them games.
Meanwhile, the Nets use their cap space and cannot take back Turk, and Brook Lopez becomes an all-star and his value shoots up.
Something ELSE to consider :
What if the FANS in Orlando start CLAIMING that D12 was purposely throwing the games by purposely playing bad(when it really isn’t true) on days when he struggles offensively?
That could happen…

of course he admitted it. i’m sure there are many others (Bosh, Kidd, etc) that didnt.
by sheepareevil on Dec 12, 2011 8:05 PM EST up reply actions
Kidd basically did the same thing
He padded his numbers instead of pushing for wins. It’s kind hard for Dwight to do that though, EVERYTHING runs through him on that offense. How much more can he pad his numbers without hurting his efficiency?
I've never questioned Kidd's heart and play from his first day to his last
and I don’t think you should unless you want to get some people on your rear end.

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Yes. because EVERYONE HERE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THE MAVERICKS ON A FRIGGIN' NETS BLOG!!
Naturally. facepalm
I was just browsing for Carter news
and I thought it was funny. Geez, some people need to get find a chick and have a good time if your all so uptight.
Feels good to be back
yesterday Dwight was talking to the media
like he wanted to be traded as soon as possible and now sound like he want to stay in Orlando. smh I have not idea why he change his mentality that fast.
Messi=Team Player
Cr7=Selfish Player
Maybe they told him the only way you go to Nets
Is if you have better attitude towards media about the Magic…otherwise we send you wherever we want.
Oh yeah, that is ridiculous, nevermind. The Magic will do what;s best for Magic no matter what, and clearly it is to wait a lttle longer to ante up the offers before deadline.
That’s why I said what I said earlier, let’s move on. Too risky.
Ric Bucher reported that he's heard that Deron Williams and Dwight Howard have discussed playing together in the future. - Kevin Baumer
You don't give up on Dwight
until you definitely know he’s not coming. There are no indications of that at this point.

When he asks to be traded twice,
yeah, that’s a pretty big indication… Either the Magic are fooling themselves or Dwight is just playing nice in public
because they asked him to publicly say some stuff
that helps them up his trade value
and probly told him if you want to go by January 1st, you need to play by our rules
At this point
I am very content with AK and Nene as our add-ons. Let’s just get it done already.
Ric Bucher reported that he's heard that Deron Williams and Dwight Howard have discussed playing together in the future. - Kevin Baumer
But we haven't gotten it done
The Nets haven’t announced a single thing besides the rookies, d-leaguers and coaches.
it's just a lot of wait and watch now
METS JETS NETS LAKERS........... OFWGKTA....FREE EARL. Odd Future Records.
Adam Morrison got his team multiple championships barely trying, if that's not a great player...I don't know who is.

So it's monday night......we are 6 days out from our first preseason game
against duh knicks….and by the looks of the pics from practice it seems you got deron scrimmaging against the 6th grade newark boys B team.
I mean clearly at this point we have to value practice time and team unity….isnt it important for guys to gel and bond and learn the system…..dwill only played what 12 games for us last year and he was thrust into it.
I understand we all want dwight and maybe he wants up, but he just aint got the cojones to be a bad guy and just demand it…he’s trying to leave, and be liked all at the same time, it doesnt work like that…couple that with the fact that otis smith and the other guy martins are just high on something extremely potent, this thing will never get done.
And the dominoes will fall….sure we’ll be better…..but we wont be that good unless we make some moves nowww!!!!!
Cause if we dont we’ll lose to the knicks, their fans will flood the PruCenter and boo our own hometeam, dwill will look around and say, is this what i wanna sign up for? And he’ll jet on outta here…..forget about what the plan was and save the space for dwight, plans change fast, athletes have a very short memory!!!!
please sign nene, convince ak47 to come back, resign the hump maybe make a minor deal and let’s roll!!!!!!!!!!

About half of the teams
have just as many holes as the Nets. Training camp is overlapping free agency this year and there are a lot of teams scrambling to meet the salary floor without getting tied down with bad contracts. Free agency always flows like dominoes. It’s very likely that a CP3 or D12 deal will be the barrier that’s holding back the flood gates for many of the 2nd tier FAs
when will people realize NBA measurements are a joke
james is not 4 inches taller than Morrow. there is no way he could play the 4 regularly he would get abused even by mediocre PFs.

that proves nothing. it's called leaning.
the official NBA pre-draft measurements show that James is 6’7.75". Morrow is 6.4.75" in shoes. Lopez who unlike Morrow and James was measured at age 19, not 22, was measured at 7’0.5". He may have grown.

he's not 4 inches taller than morrow, not really much debate to it
look at them

It's called perspective
if you’re unfamiliar with how something can look taller or shorter b/c of the perspective of the viewer or camera, then google it, b/c the rest of us don’t have the time to explain it
Those are the only players worth coaching.

Still crazy that the Nets are silent and very little word on the #1 free agent
That obviously says the Nets are involved somehow. I think it’s a guarantee this wouldn’t be silent if Fegan wasn’t representing both of them.
I just want some news already.

I agree elone
Fegan’s working to get Dwight here, and Nene wherever he wants to go.

It would be funny if Outlaw if amnestied, he would clear weavers in 3 minutes

waivers are open for 48 hours
teams can place a bid at minute 1 of the first hour or minute 60 of the 48th.

Guys this will drag on forever, God know how long...May end tonight may End during the FA in the summer
There is no logical thinking when it comes to this situation…Especially when you deal with a Otis Smith type GM and a superstar that can’t put his foot down and stick to his decision…
This trade should have been settled on over this past weekend when it was at its Peak
He's put his foot down ItsAll
He has to say the right thing in public to look like the good guy.

Guys, I've got it.
Billy should trade Outlaw to the Magic for Turkoglu.
Otis will be all like “Thanks for shaving 4 million off our salary cap Billy. Now I can sign Boki Nachbar, one of the most prolific scorers in the league”
And Billy will be all like “No problem bro.”
Then a month later Otis will be all like “Billy take Travis back we hate him. He’s awwwwful.”
And Billy will be all like “No problem, but we’re gonna need that Dwight guy too. ;)”
It’s fool proof.

NEW THREAD
LESSS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...
You know whats funny another thread will come out tomorrow stating I want to be traded
I told myself dont get caught up in these trade rumors but no I didnt listen. Every 5 minutes a source is telling us how close we are then boom right where we started. Im surprise Nene still around. Please BK unless you know something we dont know start rebuilding this team, we are the laughing stocks of the NBA. We put out how much success we’re going to have and us waiting on Dwight has just screwed us from all the good free agents.
