S-Will Starts at PF Saturday

PrintShelden Williams will get the job of guarding his former teammate Amare Stoudemire Saturday, Avery Johnson told beat writers Wednesday. And he's probably get a lot of minutes. Another possibility, Jordan Williams, will be out with severe dehydration for up to a week. J-Will has reportedly struggled early on. Johan Petro and D-Leaguer Dennis Horner are likely to back up S-Will.
Johnson admits he "doesn't have a whole lot of options" at power forward right now. The Nets, whose roster has been swept up in trade, is likely to start Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Anthony Morrow. Johnson has said that if the Nets acquire anyone in a trade or free agency, if they can get to Newark, pass a physical and get familiar with the playbook, they could play.

Seen this before, but this really bothers me
The best the Nets can offer for Howard is Lopez, a less accomplished but more durableversion of the Lakers’ Andrew Bynum
I just can’t fathom in what world Bynum is more “accomplished”. Yes he has rings but he was mostly in a suit. Skip “loud mouth” Bayless said Bynum >> Dwight when healthy. What is everyone smoking that I’m obviously not.
Seriously...
what has Bynum accomplished?

He's managed to get paid
for watching games from the bench his whole career
Muscle cramps, throwing up, lightheadedness, fainting
Guess we know who the one guy was that Avery said was out of shape.
Dr. J~Super Buck~Draz~JKidd~Deron
A really bad sign...
that the dude came in out of shape.

What do you expect, he's a "Williams"
the track record speaks for itself.

I thought they were given personalized training regiment before the lockout?
SMH
He didn’t take it seriously I guess. Or thinking the lockout will cancel the season.
He must be struggling financialy. But this is where the agent can step in and help.
Git it done!
Berger
UPDATE: A league source told CBSSports.com that the Magic are “not in a rush to do anything,” and that the team’s first priority is to keep Howard. The scenario as currently constructed with Wallace joining Lopez in Orlando as the primary pieces is not enough to persuade the organization to move forward with the deal quickly, the person said.
“If people think things are imminent, then they’re being led down the wrong path,” the person said.

Berger is a complete windbag

This is actually common sense, not a rumor, and no need for a source

No source means it can be made up
it’s not about common sense. There’s no common sense in pissing off the Boras of the NBA in agent terms. See the light.

obvious for so many reasons why Orlando
Waits until the deadline.. We will still be desperate..Orlando knows that an it benefits them to wait

And they screw Dwight out of his 5th year, and Piss off Feagan who has a lot of clients. Not a good move

perfectly fine move
Better draft picks an can get marathon

Why would the Nets offer more at the deadline?
to trade for a guy they can only offer 4 years. When they can give up nothing and offer 4 years in the offseason. He only wants to come here.

This
orange, you don’t know the meaning of posturing, I guess. With Fegan being such a big agent, you think he’d EVER steer any of his clients to Orlando if the Magic backed out now? There are so many reasons why it DOESN’T benefit them to wait, and they know it. More posturing on their part. Orange, try to convince yourself to be optimistic. Even if you don’t believe it, it can’t hurt you, and if it does, means you’re taking this way too seriously.

Orlando will not get a better deal at the deadline
This is not the Melo situation

Well it's not like we have a deadline now. Nene is gone.
Once they see Brook in action, MarShon in action, they’ll pull the trigger.
Dr. J~Super Buck~Draz~JKidd~Deron
Like what I mentioned when the "deadline" first came out, this deadline was triggered by Nene
Nene can’t wait anymore, and Fegan needs to take care of his client.
BK needs to make the decision quickly. Maybe upon knowing that Otis is listening to proposals, BK let go of Nene.
Now the waiting begins … again. Nets are all in.
Git it done!
They can please bring back Humphries?

Didn't we give Jordan Williams a two year deal?
I can’t believe he had the audacity to come into camp out of shape. Totally inexcusable. Now he’ll have to fight his way out of the doghouse. Good luck with that.
Avery needs to run practices safely
Gotta make sure lard boy gets a donut break before he breaks down for another week.

GUARANTEED two year deal
Hope the severe dehydration doesn’t turn into pernicious anemia. Maybe we can trade him for CDR.

Why dont we just pull the trigger on the g-wallace trade in the time being…?
Dwill
Morrow
Wallace
S-will
Lopez
SWill is sooooo not a center
he’s only 6-9! Who is Avery trying to fool?!
DIDN'T YOU READ THE TITLE????????
Fire Johnson and hire Van Gundy - I'm telling you Thorn was smoking something when he let Van Gundy slip away in the night.
by diehardNFFLbarnone on Dec 14, 2011 12:55 PM EST up reply actions
Yes, I'm refering to Avery's statements earlier
When he stated that Williams would be a center and talked about putting James as a PF. It didn’t make any sense and I think he saw that and changed his mind
