Nene, Hump Getting Nets Attention; Kirilenko Is Surprisingly Pricey
by Net Income on Dec 12, 2011 7:56 PM EST
in 2011 Free Agency
Email
PrintChad Ford has begun his annual countdown of the best free agents left and writes that of the top free agents, the Nets have expressed more interest in Nene Hilario and Kris Humphries than other teams and that while they also like Andrei Kirilenko, he is surprisingly pricey, $26.5 million over three (down from a previous $40 million over four).
Nene, says Ford, is unlikely to return to the Nuggets and that the Nets have shown the most willingness to meet his salary demands. Ford is also high on the 6'11" Nene, saying " It's unusual for a 29-year-old player who's spent eight seasons in the league to still have upside, but Nene does". Houston could still make a bid, Ford adds.
Speculation about Hump is "weirdly quiet" but Ford notes, "The Nets continue to show the most interest, but if they end up getting Dwight Howard they won't have the cap space to pay him." Ford blames the Kardashians. As for Kirilenko, teams shied away after his first price tag caused "sticker shock" and it hasn't got much better. The Kings and Nets have interest.

First game is Saturday.
Time for something to happen. If no trade in next day or so, sign Nene.
I think it's fine.

They are both from Russia! How do the Nets not get the sweetheart deal, under the table, whatever it takes to make it happen?

just because they’re from the same country doesn’t mean they like each other.

How about Kirilenko played for Prokhorov at CSKA Moscow and are said to have maintained a good relationship?

I agree with Elone here
It’s Russia, not the US. And it’s basketball, a US sport, not chess. Prohky has CRAZY influence in Russia, a country filled with corruption fr top to bottom. If AK was smart, he’d play for the Nets at a HUGE discount knowing one of the most powerful and richest men in his country own him a BIG favor.

Let's get to it... and let's get the AK discount

And grab Nene! I just twant to see some pre-releases!!
I hope AK's price tag is to scare other teams from getting an interest on him
hopefully he’ll give the nets a discount
Git it done!
Give the Nets a discount?
How could you POSSIBLY ask AK to do that? He needs major ‘cabbage’ to keep that super hairstyle up-to-date :-p
Oh and thoughts on the Hump?
Could we have a 3 man rotation of Hump, Nene and Brook?
Caveat emptor to AK
Pricey, eccentric attitude, apathetic towards the NBA, rumored that Deron doesn’t like him…
2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said

2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star

Mission accomplished thus far.
As long as he keeps shooting well. We need a shooter at SF. James is a defender but not much of a shooter at all.
RJ would have to be cheap and willing to be a backup.

i wonder that he's getting from CSKA. He has a three year deal with NBA out.
he’s not likely getting more than $5 million, which is what D-Will got.

Howard
What are the chances of him playing out his contract and signing with us next year as a FA? Then we would have Howard,Lopez and Humphries
then he would have left nearly $30 million on the table.
that’s the hammer the Magic have.

without a trade to the Nets
the Magic would own his Bird Rights. They could sign him to five years and 7.5% raises. Nets could only sign him to four years and 4.5% raises. That would amount to nearly $30 million.

lopez+nene would be a great tandem… not as good as DH12 and nene, but still synergistic. it would give nets a tandem at PF/C like the lakers. seems like nene loves forcing his way in for dunks, while lopez is more of a finesse player that doesnt enjoy contact.

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.

What the hell is going on
What are we waiting for DH12 trade is a mess. a bird in hand is better than two in bush.
I’m actually beginning to believe this too. Might be time for Nene, especially if that ESPN thing about Dwight softening on trade demands is true.
It's a bunch of Moiso
I just thought of this: we all say Dwight’s such a good guy. Well, why would he want to moiso over Deron by publicly stating twice he wants to be traded here now, only to reneg and change his mind?

SIgn Nene 4/58
Humphries 1/5
amnesty Outlaw
save cap room to go for :
Kenyon, JR SMith or Chandler when China season ends
Nene for 4/58 is exactly the number I was thinking
then go for Hump and RJ at SF – amnesty Outlaw and move forward with that team.
Even that might be higher than we need to go
But it’s still much better than 4/$64. If his next best offer is 5/$60, i.e. $12mil per, then $14mil per for 4 years, i.e. 4/$56 should be plenty.
RJ and Outlaw won't be amnestied unless there respective team finds a replacement.
Feels good to be back
houston doesnt have the cap space to be offering 60M right now
50-52M right now probly
If Houston offered Gasol 4y/$58M...
… they’ll be able to make at least the same offer to Nene- Rockets reportedly interested in Nene at 4y/$60M. Probably need to amnesty Thabeet to get there.

If we sign Nene and give him max cash available his first year..
does the first year count more towards the cap than other years?
I think it does.. aka we can give him a signing bonus in a sense...
like collison :
And while Nick himself will tell you he’s not worth what he’s making this season on the open market, he’s also not going to be worth what he’s making from 2011 through 2014. Just $11 million over that span, usually working for far less than half the average salary, for a well above average player. The Thunder are paying now, so that that they can pay a lot less later. Essentially, they just handed Nick Collison $6.5 million for the rights to only pay him $11 million over four years starting in 2011.

Net Income- ? for you.. can we structure Nene's contract to contain a salary cap?
and would it lessen the cap number for subsequent seasons??
signing bonus is 10% of total contract
but it gets averaged out for cap purposes.

whats the deal with the stretch provision
if we sign Nene can we restructure his contract to make room for Dwight? Or do the same for Lopez with his re-up.
nets could be waiting for all other teams to go over cap
so we can get amnestied players extremely cheap ;)

I think orlando is going to wait till the deadline
they may piss of Dwight but i dont think they care anymore. Only reason I see them waiting till deadline is so that the nets pick isn’t late 1st but more of a mid 1st. Also, they could use the Nets signing Nene as a selling point for Magic as in, see the Nets are willing to settle for Nene instead of go all out for you
The only true deadline then is Dec 31st

and dwight and nene have the same agent
and dwight knows BK and the nets have a major love jones for him, he knows, that’s why he chose us #1.
if the magic try to sell the nene move as that, all dwight has to do is call his agent for reaffirmation of how much we want him

Someone answer me this
If Dwight Howard gets traded to the Nets at the deadline, and at the end of the season and accepts his player option – can’t he then be signed a 5 year max deal at the end of next season?
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
But that's because of his bird rights
Do bird rights expire in your final contract year?
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Bird Rights get traded with the player
but a player loses those rights if he isn’t on the team for at least 6 months. If D12 is traded at the deadline, he cannot get the 5th yr, unless, like you stated, he opts in AND THEN becomes a FA in 2013
I thought he, Deron and CP3 had player options at the end of this season
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Holy Shoiso
What if the Nets trade for Dwight and then the double D’s both opt in?
That would only be 36 million in salaries. That’s more than enough space to fit a third guy. They both opt in and then get their extensions next year.

I found this on SactownRoyalty
http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2008/5/24/535422/the-difference-between-an
It’s more than semantics. An option can be picked up at any point between the end of the season and June 30. However, with an ETO, there’s nothing to submit in order to stay so his status would be up in the air (no matter what he or agent Mark Stevens say) until July 1.
If it’s an ETO:
he executes it at some point, and is therefore (as an unrestricted free agent) untradeable until after July 1, in which case a sign-and-trade could be completed.
he doesn’t execute it, but is still untradeable until after July 1 because he could potentially execute it at some point before July 1.
If it’s a player option:
he picks it up at some point, and is therefore immediately tradeable.
he doesn’t pick it up, and because he could potentially execute it at some point, is therefore untradeable until after July 1 .So, the scenarios would be:
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?" - Dan Gilbert
Hmm...so since the Lakers don't have the cap space for Dwight, they HAVE TO trade for him before the season ends.
Interestingly, there is no mechanism to notify the league that an option will NOT be exercised. Teams and players might want to do this in order to make the player tradeable after the season ends but before July 1 (see question number 88), or because the player wants to be traded to a team which does not want the player if he might become a free agent. As described in question number 54, under these circumstances the team and player can mutually amend the contract to remove the option.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?" - Dan Gilbert
IDK. The wording is confusing.
88. When can’t a player be traded? Can players be given “no-trade” clauses in their contracts?
When the trading deadline has passed. Teams are free to make trades again once their season has ended, but cannot trade players whose contracts are ending or could end due to an option or ETO.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?" - Dan Gilbert
alright, i found one sensible discussion that isnt moisoing and moiso so far
Player Option- if player has and elects to exercise Player Option then they get and extra year(or two) on their current contract. If player is in final year they cannot be traded in their option year unless they pick it up(like Deron after this year)
ETO- if players has and elects to exercise Early Termination Option then they knock the last year off their deal and become a free agent earlier than their contract is supposed to end. Since you cannot trade free agents you are not allowed to trade players who are eligible to use the ETO. If player doesnt use ETO then they play out their final year and then become free agent

Right, but we were trying to figure out if Dwight and Deron not invoking their player option(Deron)/ETO(Dwight) would allow them to then to sign the 5 year max in the year after.
Do you know anything about that Starbury?
We were thinking that if they both invoked/declined the options, the Nets could fit a third significant player under the cap and then give them their extensions next year.
Thoughts?

"When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?" - Dan Gilbert
not sure because i havent read all the new CBA rules but understand what you are saying
saying that Dwight would lose his Bird rights if he:
A. gets traded after Jan 1. and signs a new extension
B. Declines his player option and leaves for another team other than Orlando
thus nullifying the eligibility of the 5th year on his new extension
Now I’m not sure but it would seem that in order to keep his Bird Rights he would have to:
A. Get traded by the 1st
B. Pick up his option year and become UFA in 2013
and if he does go Option B. route then he should be able to still get traded before the first to get the 5th year but now the Player Option rule should not apply and he can be Signed-and-Traded away for a full max deal like David Lee, Lebron, and Bosh.
Not sure if he picked up his option year could he still walk away without a sign-and-trade and get an outright 5 year max extension from any team other than Orlando

As others told me
“He was just posturing”, lookin like the nice guy. Hell, David Aldridge said right after Dwight’s interview that he’s gone from Orlando.
Watching the Dwight Howard interview with Sager
and I have no idea what the hell to make of that interview. He makes absolutely no sense. “I did ask for a trade, but there is no place I’d rather be than here.” Huh?! Dwight, did you even hear what you just said? The only thing that comes to mind is that maybe he is trying to play nice with the organization so they give him what he wants.
It is a strange situation because by helping the Magic and playing nice…he is actually hurting the team that wants to acquire him by making them possibly up the offer. Twisted situation.
I don't care if we have to up the offer
We MUST do this. If Dwight had to play nice, and it meant upping the offer, but it meant us getting him, so be it. You follow?
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
I do not understand where you got the idea that I was not for giving up all it took for Dwight. I think everyone who follows this team is pretty much in agreement that every player not named Deron Williams is on the block.
All I said is that it is a strange, twisted situation for Dwight because if he is indeed playing nice with the Magic so they give in to his demands…it is actually hurting the team that trades for him at the bargaining table. Follow?
Of course I follow
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
WOW. That ETO moisoin saved Orlando
If it wasn’t in Dwight’s contract, he could dictate where he could be traded.
88. When can’t a player be traded?
Without the player’s consent when the player is playing under a one-year contract (excluding any option year) and will have Larry Bird or Early Bird rights at the end of the season. This includes first round draft picks following their fourth (option) season, who accept their team’s qualifying offer for their fifth season. When the player consents to such a trade, the team loses its Larry Bird/Early Bird rights, and the player is considered a Non-Bird free agent. Note: when there is an option year involved, they can get around this regulation by invoking the option prior to the trade.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?" - Dan Gilbert
The Kendall Gill rule...
….at least the rule that stopped the Nets from trading him once upon a time.
Dwight doesn't know what he wants
He’s the same age as me (and a lot of us, I presume).
(a) I have a great job, love my co-workers, and love the company. My boss sucks.
(b) My best friend wants me to quit and start a business with him.
That’s a tough decision. Change my mind 100 times, too.
But your decision is a lot tougher than his. His decision won’t affect his livelihood, he will be set regardless.

Just in case this is traceable to my real life somehow...
My boss does NOT suck :P
Would just love
Would just love to hear Dwight say to Sager “Orlando has been very good to me, and we had a few good runs at the chip, but now it’s time to move on. No hard feelings, it’s just time for me to go somewhere else, and I wish the Magic and all my Orlando fans the best.”
He can't
He obviously cares about the fans. He knows it would hurt more than it will when he leaves(meaning the fans will be hurt, but if he says it, it’ll make it worse). BK, Fegan and Dwight know what’s happening, and what you’re saying is true. Just can’t say it until his press conference here.

The thing I'd HATE about a mid season trade for Dwight
is we will almost undoubtedly have to include MarShon. He’s gonna do work.

This is a once in a lifetime chance to get to a championship level by making just one move!!!! The Nene’s and AK’s will always be out there every year but NOT players like DH!!

I want MarShon to get some playing time, if he can at least try to play defense. I want to go to China with my girlfriend. I want to buy a new bicycle. I want to stay on my diet for another three or four months. I want my dear sweet 87 year old mother to stay just like she is, for another 20 years, jinx jinx pooh pooh. GO NETS!

Word? Wasn't worth 3 million?
The Clippers won the bidding at $2 million, meaning they’ll pay only that portion of his $14.2 million salary this season while the Knicks foot the rest. Under the amnesty rules, Billups can’t be traded before July 1, so the Clippers can’t use him as bait in a deal for Paul.

I imagine that
I think in the past the starters played 20-30 minutes on average in the pre season. But that could be different this year due to the lockout, there’s only 2 pre season games to develop on court chemistry, instead of 8 in a normal season.

Since the Grizzlies matched the offer for Gasol
That gives the Nets extra leverage since Houston will still be in the market for a center and they cannot outbid NJ b/c NJ has more cap room. Nene will go where the money is.The Nets could do S&T Nene and ship him off to Houston for more assets to use in a D12 deal. I know S&Ts are usually done with the team holding the player’s Bird Rights but I can’t see how it couldn’t work for a team with cap space too…
Maybe something along the lines of:
Rockets:Nene
Nets: D12, Hedo
Magic: Brook, KMart, picks
You can’t sign and trade another team’s free agent. If we sign Nene, standard FA trade rules apply to where you can’t trade him for 90 days or whatever it is
Fire Brian Schottenheimer.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/1000000-Jets-fans-against-Brian-Schottenheimer/104252133024352
but a S&T is a single transaction
IDK, it’s just an idea, but I’ve never read anywhere that you couldn’t
S&Ts are usually to a team over the cap
so the bird rights being maintained are essential
thus the original team must sign the player first
S&T have nothing to do with cap space
since the team making the signing hold the player’s Bird Rights and can give him a max deal whether they’re under the cap or not.
Usually the team the player goes to has the cap space so it makes matching salaries easy, but when the signing team is over the cap, the player’s salary must match either the trading team’s cap room OR an outgoing salary.
need to rope denver into that
to do the S&T w nene
Nets would have to wait 90 days to trade Nene.

we need a guy like him
Makes sense for Portland to give up a top 10 SF for our scrubs , lol

Didn’t think so. He was our #1 free agent target.
And our “silence” may have something to do with a guy named Howard?
Why the hell does this need to be explained.

I think we can stop with the Dwight trade proposals
The Magic are not trading him now or probably all year. It seems Dwight s ok with this.
We have to move on or make preparations to suck all year and hope Dwight is moved at the deadline.

Orlando will trade him this season
There’s no way Big Baby and J Rich will convince him to stay. They will trade him when they think they have the best package for him
I doubt that elone
Not after everything that has been said or done over the last few days. You can’t just take it all back and start anew. Not possible.

Kobe did
And then he got Pau. Orlando is going to hold off to the very last moment. The fact that Dwight continues to say that he prefers to stay but things need to change, that gives them hope that they can go out and try to please him. It’s pointless, but put yourself in Magic shoes, would u trade ur star player now, when in reality u have till March, and he’s willing to change his mind if there are changes? I doubt any of us will.

Its time to move on. Dwight can come as a FA.
Sign Nene Hump and AK47 or Josh Howard.
I want Nene and Brook to have some time to practice together.
How do they fit all 3 of them , though ?
Nene
Hump
AK-47 (or Howard)
I don’t think any of them are going to play for peanuts.
I think we’re looking at Nene , one of the others , and maybe a mini-exception player …. but I could be wrong.

Yeah but
At the same time I expected the “despite Dwight’s comments he is still pushing for a trade, sources say” – instead we got his player suggestions.
Big difference. I think Dwight is a long shot for all teams that want to trade for him.

Sound Logic
Seems weird King hasn’t given up yet… Has to be more we just don’t know. More than any of us, king knows importance of this season to keep DWill. Something is up.
Im part of the camp to just sign nene because even if king is confident, feel like this can fall a part any minute.
