Around SBN: Yankees Deny Rumors That Team Is For Sale

Nets Pursuing AK-47, Humphries

Photo

Chris Mannix reports that the Nets "are engaged in serious talks with free agent forward Andrei Kirilenko." Kirilkenko, the 6'9" combo forward, has long been linked to the Nets for the obvious reasons: he's Russian, he used to play for CSKA Moscow before he was drafted, he advised Mikhail Prokhorov on the Nets' purchase and he's played much of his career with Deron Williams.

With the pursuit of Dwight Howard on hold and the pursuit of "A" list targets over, the Nets are not moving on to those who they think have value. Kris Humphries is another target who the Nets have been in contact with since the end of the lockout. And Adrian Wojnarowski tweets that Shawne Williams is deciding between the Knicks and Nets.

But don't expect the Nets to give many, if any, of these players multi-year deals. Instead, they will be giving them jumbo one-year deals. Wojnarowski reported Wednesday morning the Nets may be willing to offer as much as $9 million.

So are we out on Josh Howard?

Let's get them both

Along with Williams. They would all be solid free agent signings on one year deals

we need them

They would all be solid role players in a Dwight/Deron duo or a Brook/Deron duo

So there will be two weeks between the time they can be traded and the March 15 deadline.

Woj
The Magic still prefer what the Lakers could offer in any possible future trade talks, with a possible package of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum more attractive on a pure talent basis. The Nets have been far more aggressive in the pursuit of Howard than the Lakers, who are usually methodical in trade discussions.

I can’t believe we’re going to strike out…..again.

Maybe they have a change of heart by trade deadline but this doesn’t look good for Netsnation.

assume $11 million over one for AK, $8 million over one for Hump

That’s 19 million in expiring deals, plus other expiring deals already on the books.

NOW, multiply that by 150% because that is what the new CBA permits you to get in return. Youre at $30 million.

I think this could work in the Nets favor. Patience is the key and luckily BK has shown plenty of that since taking over the reins as GM. Orlando is pushing Dwight to do exactly what many have been asking him to do which is to get upset and force his way out a la Carmelo last year. The Magic are just pissing him off more and more as the minutes tick away, and this is a good thing, IMO.

What's our move if the Lakers give Bynum and Gasol?

With CP3 to the Clips, the Lakers have to acquire a young superstar to prevent them from taking a turn as the little brother of the city.

So far I think we’ve done a good job at playing our cards. If the Magic tried to alienate Dwight’s preferences and force them to use their cap room, we applied the right counter. We can force them to trade Dwight by the trade deadline now. This also takes the Mavs out of the running.

Unfortunately, what counters the Lakers giving up those two? We might have to give out a lot more than 5 draft picks in order to provide the Magic with a worth second player.

I’ve talked to a few people and they all agree that the Lakers don’t improve much (if anything they get worse) and that the two towers inside are better than Howard. This is some Knicks fans too…why would Dwight want to even go there? That’s not a championship team and has no future…

Is this where we are now? AK47, is a little better than Outlaw. AND nobody want THE HUMPH, because they figure his head is screwed up. The NETS know better. THE HUMPH is a good guy, who made a mistake. I would give him a multi-year deal, say 3 for 18M
AK47 I would only give a one year deal, because I think he is done. Maybe if he comes in, in shape, we get get something from him. His numbers last year weren’t wonderful.
But this is where we are, with all the players who were FA this year? I am not impressed with Billy King.

This is the second instance of this report being run tonight, but this time with news that it was ownership that killed the deal with Portland. This jives with what Nets reporter Stefan Bondy said earlier, which was the GM Otis Smith had been cut off from the chain of command, at least as it pertained to a potential Howard trade. This also wreaks of Stern and his bandit owners trying to show star players who is boss.

AK47 vs Outlaw

I looked at both their stats. AK47 has been a career 11 point and 5 rebound guy. Outlaw scored 9 and pulled down 4 rebounds a game last year. The only thing is that AK47 shot way better, so his points came on way fewer shots. Is AK47 a better defensive player than Outlaw? Is this what we will be stuck with? Well, at least he knows DWILL very very well. Maybe it helps keep DWILL? But if this is the best Billy King and Proky can do, well……

I predict the following next tweet tonight

“League sources inform Y! that Nets are still pursuing trade options for Dwight Howard, should the Magic lift trade ban”

And I think we might even see another proposed deal leak out by Friday.

But by Friday, we probably will have signed Hump, AK and maybe Shawne Williams to deals they don’t deserve per year, but only 1 year.

thats why Kobe will do anything to keep Pau in LA

Look at their line up if they trade for D12, Kobe D12 Turk Metta Blake Fisher etc they wont pass second round.

That's not what he said

He was asked if it was true that talks were dead. And he didn’t say yes, he basically said they would continue talking to other teams but that doesn’t mean they’ll do anything. And that Dwight is in a Magic uniform until he’s not.

Magic come to NJ in Feb 22

If there’s still no trade by then, you guys need to get the whole arena chanting to Dwight to speak his mind or demand a trade now

by muwu on Dec 14, 2011 9:42 PM EST reply actions  

D12 needs to speak to Melo, or maybe allow his agent do the work from here on out.

Of course he can push himself out.

He can ask them one last time nicely to take the deal, or announce via channels that he’s not signing extension with anyone but the NETS.

If he’s traded after 1/1, he wont get anymore money to be traded anyway.

Sign AK/Hump/Shawne Williams

We need to show Otis we’re willing to just sign Dwight out right in the off season. Otis doesn’t really have much leverage. If he doesn’t trade Dwight, they lose him for nothing and they a terrible draft pick because he carries them to the playoffs. The options are trade him to the Nets or the Lakers. Let him walk to the Nets or the Mavs. Threatening to wait until the trade deadline is just dumb.

It kills me that a deal was so close that it could have been approved by Magic management.

WIth all the attention diverting from CP3 to Dwight, Dwight will get more pressure from national media.

He won’t be able to take media hits till march…he will get traded. It was day 3 of rumors over the weekend and he was already snapping at local reporters…wait till the national spotlight completely surrounds him. CP3 and the league have been the big story this entire week…THis should get really interesting

billy king can’t ruin another season waiting on other teams’ front offices. last year was all about melo, don’t make this year all about dwight. if dwight wants to be here let him opt out after the season and come here.

Question (I saw a Schrute picture up top):

If the Nets were to sign Humphries, Kirilenko and Extra E (or another depth player) to one-year deals, do you think they’d make the playoffs?

I do. I’d say a seven or eight seed.

by Dopeness on Dec 14, 2011 9:52 PM EST reply actions  

They'd be in the playoff race

but not good enough for the playoffs. Your bigs are still weak outside of Hump and Brook, and the fragile and old AK is your only proven perimeter defender

by muwu on Dec 14, 2011 9:55 PM EST up reply actions  

I think it relies on heavily on how much better Brook has gotten

Has working with Hakeem helped him? Has he gotten bigger? Has he proven he is an all star and the second best player in the league?

If Brook can be a much need star player, we can definitely make the playoffs, assuming we stay healthy.

The trade deadline is March 15.

But has it been confirmed that there is only a 60 day waiting period to trade a FA (instead of 90 days).

In that case, there is still time to trade for Dwight in late Feb., early March..

by bkfire on Dec 14, 2011 10:14 PM EST reply actions  

Just going to add this right now.

If L.A. does trade for Dwight, he’d still become a free agent to get the best possible contract (same with Brooklyn). And during that free agency, the Nets would be sure to show him why a younger team with all of its pieces intact would be preferable to an L.A. team with an older Kobe and no Pau/Bynum. So even at that point, don’t lose all hope.
