Nets Sign Ime Udoka

Email
PrintIme Udoka, a 34-year-old small forward who played limited minutes for the Spurs last year before being cut, is the Nets latest signing. Like Shelden Williams, Udoka has agreed to one-year contract. It is non-guaranteed. Udoka has played for both the Trail Blazers, Kings, Knicks and Spurs.
A Nigerian-American, the 6'6" Udoka has played for Team Nigeria in FIBA Africa competition. He couldn't come to camp earlier, because his mother passed away last Wednesday.

makes the player tradeable without there permission.
Nets don't have many roster spots left.
They are obviously still thinking about Howard.
What about Hump? Nets could lock up Hump for less $ by offering him 5 years.
He is a tradeable asset. I doubt Hump would accept a 1 yr. offer.
AND he's played internationally!

Deal done, source says. NBA is back.
-November 26th, 3:17 am.
Yeah I saw that
As long as he can play defense, I am ok with it.
If he can hound Swag and Little King in practice, I am ok with that too. Those guys need some tough practice opponents so they can develop fast.

That’s all that is left on the market. Although i do like the Williams signing for depth. We got caught looking at strike 3 for Howard and we are left with the bottom of the barrel. I mean this guy hasn’t played in 2 years. Seriously what is he going to bring to the table? This roster is a friggin joke and it burns my a$$.

Most likely Dwight’s agent has told King and Dwight has told Dwill the same.
If the rumors are true and Dwight thought he was going to be trade and was upset he wasnt, that should tell people something.

#1 PG in the league with CP3's knee issues
With no knee issues, CP3 is better. If you are talking about Derrick Rose, then just no. He’s not a better PG.

There is no period, to this debate so little seperates them.
Its a matter of opinion so save your period, thanks. I’ve felt than D Will overtook CP3 or reached the same the year CP3 got injured. If he hadn’t maybe I wouldn’t feel that way but I’d take Deron just for his bigger body on D and makes him more Dynamic to play some 2. I also think he may be a better shooter by a tiny margin and can finish stronger around the rim.

I called it last week when you guys thought Howard was in the bag
First off…Billy King is not a good GM…lets clear the air on that.
Second..they are going to tank the season. That was the plan from day 1. I got killed from you guys when I said that last week, but I’m clearly right.
I’m assuming Deron and Management have a handshake agreement in place that he won’t leave regardless of the record this year. The goal is to get a top 5-10 pick. We will pick up a future star via the deep draft. Then the ultimate goal is to sign Howard in free agency.
We draft a PF in the draft (or a shooting guard) and then trade Lopez for another starter (We don’t need Lopez and Howard, nor could we fit Lopez under the cap once he is up for a new contract).
We should have a very good team in place next year in Brooklyn…but this year is going to be abysmal…we are one injury away (d-will) from being the worst team in the league.
I think you are wrong on just about everything
by orangeeater on Dec 15, 2011 12:36 PM EST up reply actions
Thanks Mike
I am pretty certain that’s how its going to play out.
I can’t envision how a trade would work at the deadline for Howard since we are now in the process of filling up the cap to reach the cap minimum for the year. I don’t know the numbers…but if we reach the cap minimum, can we still absorb the big contracts from Orlando that they are looking to dump if they change their mind?
If we don’t see Outlaw amnestied before the deadline…there should be no question as to whether we can trade for Howard at the deadline…I’m pretty sure that salary on our cap would kill the trade.
In my opinion, the move to start filling up the cap is a clear showing the Nets are throwing in the towel for the season. I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily. We can get a great talent in the 2012 draft (which will be one of the best in years). The best part is…if Howard truly wants to sign with us in the offseason, now we don’t have to give up any assets to get him. I can live with being bad for another year if it means a top talent in the draft and Howard.
Our team moving forward will/could be
Howard
2012 Top Pick
Top quality player in trade for Lopez (we can also package the Houston pick and receive bench help as well)
Morrow or someone else
Williams
Um
You weren’t right because we had a deal in place to acquire Dwight Howard.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Let's analyze your post here :
“First off…Billy King is not a good GM”
>>> Based on what, exactly? He had Otis practically ready to gift-wrap D12 to us until Orlando Ownership(clueless as they are) pulled the plug on that. If that deal went through, you wouldn’t be saying this…AT ALL.
“Second…They are going to tank the season”
>>> Again I ask : Based on what, exactly? You think Deron is going to stand for any sort of Tanking? The Nets are Professionals and will act as such and try to WIN GAMES ‘cause that’s their goal every season.
Glad Someone Responded
Why is Billy King a terrible GM?
Easy – first off he is a 76ers reject…who was fired and replaced by Ed Stafanski of the Nets.
Ever since he has been here..he has made terrible signings (name me one good signing other than Morrow!)
He gave up way to much in the Deron Williams trade. If Deron Williams doesn’t re sign with us our future is shot…so he essentially went all in on that trade
Next point – “they are going to tank the season”
Yes they are going to tank the season. And no…it won’t be on “purpose” THEY ARE GOING TO TANK THE SEASON BECAUSE THEY STINK! Deron can try all he wants..there is not enough depth or quality around this team to make any sort of run whatsoever!
Haha dude!
You called me out and then you essentially agree with me haha!
It’s not like I want them to stink BrockRocks..but its reality the team is not capable of competing…especially in the improved eastern conference..we are definitely looking at lottery right now…which like I mentioned in my first post…is not a bad thing…at all
I can sit through one more year of torment…but they better show me something next year with the glamorous new move that we have been hearing about for years…the folks in Brooklyn won’t support this franchise either if they continue down this path of failure
Hump and AK.
Do it now.
I typed your symptoms into this thing up here and it says you could have network connectivity problems.

AK especially won't take a 1 year deal.
Hump is a very tradeable asset though.
Knicks are considering Troy Murphy next.
They just signed Jerome Jordan.
Knicks fans and Alan Hahn are complaining “where are the discounts for playing with Stars” that we were promised?
Will Deron be someone unliked by the team?
Basically he has kind of put it out there that “we need to Improve” for him to stay.. which means he has thrown Brook, Humph, etc under the bus in a sense.
well we took a giant step backwards
Liken said earlier, unless he and Dwight have some verbal agreement about him coming here, he’s gone.

eh... not necessarily true
Nobody knows what Deron will do. Will be interesting to see how Lopez has developed and how he and Deron play together
I think the “quick fix” formula that the Heat had will not work (for most teams).. and as long as Deron buys in to the vision, he will stay. THus far, it seems as if he buys in.
by orangeeater on Dec 15, 2011 12:40 PM EST up reply actions
i don't think he threw anyone under the bus
the team won 24 games last year? They all know the team needs to improve. 24 wins is not acceptable. Deron just flat out said what needs to be done. Anyone who wants to win will feel the same way.

Nothing is definite for Dwight. It could sweeten the deal.
Ship them together! Orlando could easily lock them both up for the rest of their careers if they wanted. People, especially children are fascinated by twins. The idea sells itself in the Disneyworld market. The Lopez twins would garner positive interest and energy in a post-Dwight Orlando.
You are correct in saying nothing is definite, but
Don’t think Fegan and BK won’t ride this out until the end of the month. Fegan will do WHATEVER he has to to try and get Dwight his money. Now, if by the 31st, he’s unsuccessful, then I think this could go on for a while.
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
I'm not sure this 12/31 deadline applies to Dwight
Net Income posted about it in another thread
that only applies to extensions and Dwight will be an opt-out/new contract type guy

This is my team through and through so screw it because whatever happens this season I will watch and cheer my team on.

Agreed.
I have been following the Nets since the beginning of the ABA days, people do not underestimate Brooklyn, we will have a good team when we hit Brooklyn. And if Dwight will only sign with Nets, next season we have draft picks, Brook, Dwight and Deron. Lets hope one of our young guys take it to the next level.
Keep the faith.

I thoroughly enjoy watching the Nets… it’s fun having one of the best PGs in the game to look forward to watching all season. Plus watching Brook develop, and seeing how the role players fall into place. Who knows? Could be fun!

See theres where I have the problem. We dont know that. One day passed since they said that, and Dwights agent hasnt even had a chance to be pissed of and demand things yet! This was all prior to the CP3 hat dropping as well. So now we lost most of or flexibility over sub par players like these? We could just play our great young rookie Damion James and get the same(if not better) results, AND leave the option open with Orlando.

About 8 million I think....
….I believe the salary floor is 80% of cap which means the payroll needs to exceed $46 million
Not even close to goodbye Dwight
All signs point to the Magic holding him until the deadline. I trust BK would know if the talks could re-emerge next week.
Furthermore, they have to field a roster and hit the cap floor.
This shouldn’t even be discussed. Start paying attention.

If the Nets can retain Humphries and add Kirilenko, we will be better for at least having an NBA caliber starting small forward that can score and defend.
This is obviously not a playoff team but I will at least be happy to see the team win more games than they won last year.
Hopefully Kirilenko is a 1 year deal, and the Nets can still find a way to trade for Dwight Howard. If Lopez can step his game up, and Brooks and James impress, the Nets might be able to cobble together a package that approaches what New Orleans got for Paul.
The key hinges on Lopez. Before the 2010-11 season, Lopez and Gordon, both very young, would have been equally valuable pieces since they both play very well at premium positions. If Lopez can rebound the Howard trade is still feasible.
I think the Nets could sneak into the playoffs
Wasn’t the 8th seed last year under .500? Or near .500?
If the Nets get AK47, they’re actually a better team than last year. Healthy DWill and Lopez will get the Nets close to .500 at least.

Keep Deron happy.. but build wisely
1) See how Brook, Marshawn, and Damion play.
2) In March, send a HUGE offer sheet to Wilson CHandler. He is a RFA. Make it max $ for this shortened season. After which, he is a UFA.
3) If needed, use cap space to sign Kenyon MArtin for the remainder of the season
The best free agency class coming up is 2013… build carefully and wisely.. DONT MAKE MISTAKES.. and it can all work out

Why would you ever send a “huge contract” to Chandler when there is like a month left in the season… you have to be at the cap min before the season starts in a few weeks..not march..
Horrific Plan
The idea [of giant, wholesome twins playing together] sells itself in the Disneyworld market. The Lopez twins would garner positive interest and energy in a post-Dwight Orlando.
-Coach Joe
Brook Lopez would never be on the cover of a magazine in a Magic (or Nets) jersey by himeslf.
Brook and Robin together? There is a distinct possibility that people, including casual basketball fans would find that duo to be more interesting than one man having a good season.
We needed to stock up our bench of WAGs
We traded Kim K and Maria S for Candice Parker and Nia Long. Not as good looking but both more dependable. All in all a good move to stock up a depleted WAG bench.

Nets Prediction for this year if Orlando doesnt trade Howard
C | B Lopez – 20 PPG 9.2 RPG 1 Blocks 80% FT at Center
- Meet the 2011 Allstar Center for the East (If Howard is a Laker of Course). D Will will be determinded to get him stats to raise his value for possible March Howard trade. Plus he is in a contract year. Motivation abound.
PF | Hump – 12 PPG / 12 RPG / 1 Block
-Who has more to prove that last year wasnt a fluke. Getting Kim was a fluke. Getting 10 Boards was Much Much easier.
SF | AK47 – 12 PPG / 6 RPG / 1.5 Blocks / 3 APG
-Has the Most experience playing with D Will. Good Defensive SF with the size to guard Melo. Lopez/Hump/AK Makes a decent matchup vs Knicks. Good player all around with underated passing skills and can hit a 3. Can play PF and play it well.
SG | Morrow – 15 PPG / 44% 3PTS
- What has 2 Thumbs and is automatic from downtown, THIS GUY<=.2nd most accurate 3 pt shooter in NBA History. FACT. D Will is going to get alot of corner 3 assits from Morrow
PG | D Will 21 PPG / 12 APG / 46% FG / 84% FT
- Out to prove he is the BEST PG. Hasnt been healthy in 2 years. In game shape and just dropped 50 in a game last week. He knows he has to Play on KOBE level. Lucky for us he has the talent to do so. One of the FEW differnce makers in the NBA and unlike most of the other franchise players, he makes everyone on the court play better.
6th man – M Brooks 16 PPG / 44% FG / 1.5 Steals
- I have been singing his praise since predraft. He is the real deal. Best scorer in college basketball not named Jimmer. People know he can score, 24.6 PPG but did you know that he also pulled 7 RPG, 1.5 Stl 1.2 Blocks…….. in the Big East. He is has the talent to be a great defender especially with Avery’s defensive mind. Made himself into a good player, you have to respect that. Dont be surprised to se him play alot of minutes at SF since he has a 7’ 1" Wingspan. We are going to get alot of fastbreaks with this guy playing the passing lanes. Remeber how good our fastbreak was when we had Kidd and Kittles. DWill and Brooks is just as good……..He is only one year younger then Brook. He is ready to contribute now. He will be neck and neck with Kemba for ROY.
Lopez | Petro | Sheldon
Hump | AK | Sheldon
AK | Shawne | James
Morrow | Brooks | Farmar
D Will | Farmar | Gaines
IF we dont get Howard then plan B is K Mart and Chandler when they get back from China. Seems like Denver is moving on from Chandler. We can save some cash for Howard trade knowing that we will have more money then Denver to bid on him. He would be a nice platoon with AK. K Mart back in NJ for its last year is only fitting, Brooklyn was the reason we lost him in the 1st place. It would be good karma to open Brooklyn with him on the squad.

Agree mostly
with Brook, DWill, Morrow, AK, Hump. Brook could go 22-23 even if he becomes the focus of the offense as he should be. All optimistic but almost all achievable.
You’re waaay too high on Marshon though if you think he’ll be a 16ppg rookie. Just making the regular rotation and contributing 6-7 ppg should already be a good start.
When Marshon blows up you will be surprised, I wont
He played in one of the fastest paced offenses in college last year. We are going to be more of a running team with him. He will turn the ball over alot since he is a rook tho but that part of a young players development

CLEARLY King and DWill know that DWIGHT WANTS TO BE A NET.
This is why DWIGHT and DWILL were upset that the trade the other day didnt go through.
NENE was going to sign with us until his AGENT, Dwight’s agent, probably told him DWIGHT IS GOING TO NETS. Take DENVER DEAL.
SMH!!!!!!
SO King is stocking up One year deals to still have the flexibility to get DWIGHT.
You guys sound like Knick Fans. CHILL!!!
My only concern is
IF Lopez has a good year 25+pts and 8-10 rbs and SWAG is a Sleeper in last years draft, do you still include them in a trade OR you wait for FA to get Dwight.

Lopez 25 and 10?!
I’m hoping for 22 and 8 and I thought I was being optimistic.
Take a look at Brook's stats
after the Dwill trade.
Brooks needed a leader. Someone that was going to push him and get him the ball. Harris was never a leader. I dont know where Avery was going with his offensive schemes.
Lopez is only as good as he wants to be
he’s one of those rare C that can play in the post and any where within the 3 point arc.

Just as a reminder, if Nets are looking to sign Hump to 1 year contract ....
then they just need to maintain a 6.08 million cap hold.
Then Nets could go over the cap by any amount because they own his Bird Rights.
For say 12 million, I could definitely see Hump agreeing to a 1 yr contract, if that is what BK is up to.
Nets would have to Amnesty Outlaw and sign AK47 first.
It is possible that around 12-13 Million for 1 year would make AK a Nets player.
Then Hump’s signing would put them over the cap.
Jerry if we go over the cap, we only take back 125% of salary in a Dwight deal
Under cap means we can take back 150%.
If I have my CBA correct.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Forgot that.
Still, we may currently have about 18 million in cap space between Hump and AK.
Any team that gets Lopez should want Hump thrown in too, so maybe a multiyear deal is possible for Hump.
Incorrect
Under the cap you can use your cap space to take back as much extra salary as you can.
Over the cap, but under the tax = 150%
Over the tax threshold = 125%

At this point we need a decent starting PF though
Like Humphries or maybe if AK can play there. The problem with getting Humphries is that it will kinda take away from Lopez’s trade value. You know the way he rebounds the ball, Lopez will have low numbers again.
it would help if avery stops playing him at the top of the key or near the 3 point line
i mean how many games last season did we see lopez hanging around the top of the key and shooting 17-18 foot jumpshots. he needs to be down the post more.
the other issues is if we’re running and gunning more this year it will change lopez’s game dynamically, typically lopez needs a half court offense to set him up.

Just cause we signed these guys doesn’t mean we’re not getting Dwight. Its a condensed schedule where u play back-back-back games. We have to keep Deron and Brook healthy throughout. Brook healthy for when he gets traded. With a decent squad we can stay competitive @ .500 or betta till Dwight comes in. I think we’ll have a few upsets cause we’re still under the radar without DH. Its up and down with most u guys. I have barely flinched with these reports. I’m still @ 99.9% that we will have SUPERMAN in uniform.

King and Dwill know Dwight wants to come here.
Why would Dwight’s Agent tell Nene to sign back with DEN? Nene’s agent knew that Nets were no longer an option and needed Denver to up the money.

So are the lakers really an option. Does Dwight really want to go to the Lakers? or is that all BS to raise the stakes?
All these BSPN reporters claim that Dwight wants to be a Laker or is it just that he wants to be in movie and TV. of course when add the history, SHAQ, Magic and Lakers connection and Dwight want the same thing then the logical place for Dwight would be LA. But I work in Manhattan, every corner downtown there is a show, a movie or some amateur Youtube shows filming stuff and blocking sidewalks. Ignorance by these so called NBA connoisseurs is unbelievable.
Tim Legler wants Dwight on the Nets so does Stephen A.
Legler said he’s tired of reporting on the same teams. He would love to speak about the Nets and Clips more.
Magic Ownership
and the other aspect we may have going for us (not sure how much it’ll help) i’m hoping that magic doesn’t want to send dwight to LA to lose out like they did with Shaq. I understand that in a trade they will get pieces back, but it will still mean they never got a ring and gave LA the pieces they needed to potentially win another one.
We are now in what is known in aviation jargon as the Holding Pattern...
Probably the best course of action to take right now.
Contract is NON GUARANTEED
he has the same contract the three D-League kids have. No difference. He is a camp invite.

I’m not trying to argue that acquiring Deron wasn’t worth it, just that he doesn’t have some magical ability to make the good free agents want to come here (Butler, Chandler, etc.). They have to see a good team before they are willing to sign the dotted line.
Obviously, Howard would go a long way, all 100 yards down the field.
I think you are blind as a bat
Chandler wanted to be a Net, didn’t even think the Knicks was an option
Dwight Howard wants to be a Net OVER A LAKER

You just criticized Deron’s recruiting skill despite apparently convincing Howard to want to play for the Nets.
And guess what, Dwight didn’t even need to see “a good team”, he wanted to play with Deron now and take up the Nets.

I'm not concerned about the head to head much.
We all know that He’s the best center. Lopez has to prove he’s the 2nd best. This brings up his value for the trade. We’d say keep Turk. Take Lopez and 1 draft pick just cause you made these Nets fans wait.
The waiting game begins
if it doesn’t happen by January 1st, it will happen at the deadline in March.
This team is ass, yes, but the thing is that you can clearly see that King is maintaining cap flexibility to accomodate a Howard trade
There is a plan in place, so there’s nothing left to do but wait and see how things unfold.
AT LEAST there is a PLAN. That’s a lot better than wandering along aimlessly and locking ourselves into long term deals.

My goodness
People on this board are sounding like a bunch of Outlawing children today. These are decent to good signings until proven otherwise. These are depth players on minimum to two year salaries. The end game is D12, point blank. These signings do not hinder that in the grand scheme of things. We still need to add talent at the 3 and 4, but we also still have cap space, draft picks, time and a few assets to get it done. Yes everyone wants to see a championship squad from day 1, but unfortunately it’s not happening. Let the front office do what they have to do, while remaining flexible to either trade or sign D12 next year. Can it all blow up and Dwill leaves? Absolutely, but at the end of the day thats life. Outlawing and complaining isn’t gonna change that. Sit back, watch the Nets, wait for Dwight or go jump on the Knicks/Lakers/Heat and Outlaw yourself… Have a nice day

Big Picture is not the only picture
Stay in the hunt for Howard and not get him? Keep being the bridesmaid but never the bride? This is a risky strategy b/c Howard has said Nets and Lakers and Mav’s. If he just said Nets, great strategy or if DWill were signed long term, great strategy, but this risks it all and all the Lakers have to do is outbid us even a little. King needs to diversify his strategy and find some players. I doubt AK47 is signing a one year deal as he will have other suitors and the same may be said for Hump.
right but if we don't go for dwight we'll be mediocre
most analysts and fans know, you either want to be bad or great. not in the middle.
no dwight means we won’t be contenders, thereby always in the middle and this franchise will only slightly change it’s image.
don’t get me wrong, i really wanted nene if dwight trade was delayed. we got screwed on that deal because of magic ownership.

Clippers wouldn’t have done the deal without CP3 opting in. Clippers don’t do the deal, where is he going to go? Stern wasn’t going to let him go to LAL and Paul likely would have had to stick around in New Orleans, lose his bird rights, and sign somewhere else at a much lower price. By opting into that deal, he’ll be able to get more money, just he’ll have to wait another year for it.

But getting D12 is not overrated at all. Somebody said before that its a superstar driven league. This ain’t just about wins. Dwight and his brand legitimizes Brooklyn and the new Barclays Center. Not only does he add wins, he alongside Deron Williams brings about a culture change to the organization. We can finally be among the “big boys” and I think you are seriously underestimating how important that is in terms of financial opportunity and marketing, attracting other players (look at the lakers and bulls!) and bringing in and widening the fanbase.

I really think the key lies with Damion James
If we compare the Paul trade, Brook is equivalent to Gordon, our TE would be the same as Kaman (actually a little better), we have the draft picks, and the added bonus of taking on Turk (in case you wanna say Howard is more valuable than Paul).
The key is that 2nd young player. Like Aminu. If James can play at a high level, and show that he is a good young prospect.. I think we got a deal.
I say start him, and let him play through his mistakes. We have the advantage of Dwill being his PG, and Outaw being his back up (as of now). Both those factors have the capability of making him look better than he really is.
is shawne williams more of a 3 or does he play the 4 as well?

He was getting killed. I Think it was against Boston.
just on ND for the first time today and I cant believe the amount of people jumping off the cliff already
Udoka and the Williams brothers (not really) are low risk-low reward signings people need to stop flipping out about them. Theres a chance we will add Hump and AK by the end of the day and then all of a sudden our roster looks pretty solid and theres always the chance of a Dwight trade mid-season. This team is going to improve significantly from last year simply from a full year of a healthy DWill and a likely improved Lopez. Lets actually allow everything to take shape and see some game action before we start saying this team sucks.

D-Willz is a great PG, but he’s no one to take over he game like the great SG’s and SF’s in the league and throughout history. This team isn’t a playoff team as is, and everything fans bring up here is based on potential. In the end, no matter how godo they look on paper, you must go out there on the court and PROVE that you are that good. Nets have failed every time period, no excuse is needed or should be used. If I’m wrong I’m wrong, if I’m right, I’m right, but I’ll wait til the end of the season to see if I really am a pessimistic person.

You weren’t right because we had a deal in place to acquire Dwight Howard.
@eLone:
You’re crazy- please, find me some evidence that there was ever a deal. Otis and the Magic have been down on this Lopez trade package since the beginning.
ok, hear you go
The Magic’s decision came Wednesday after the Nets assembled a multiteam trade proposal for Howard that would have sent the Magic center Brook Lopez, Portland Trail Blazers forward Gerald Wallace, point guard Jordan Farmar and a first-round draft pick. The Nets also would have taken on Chris Duhon and Hedo Turkoglu. The Blazers would have received four draft picks for Wallace.
With the framework of a deal in place, talks had reached the ownership level in Orlando, league sources said. Nevertheless, Magic ownership did not approve of the trade, and general manager Otis Smith then informed teams Howard had been removed from the market.

tries to stretch this thing to the trade deadline, I would remove Lopez from this deal.
If you didnt want him then, here are some expiring contracts and picks OR we will wait for Dwight to be a FA. Thanks

Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
Has Opt-Out
Marc Berman
Source: Nets offer was better than #Knicks offer. Nets went two years, 6M with optout after first year. Knicks could only go 2 years at 5M
His option or team's option?
With all the minutes and DWil…he could get a nice contract in the offseason.
its a player option
Hopefully he does well and gets more money elsewhere. This contract could be a blessing for him and us.
All that matters
Is how he does with Jameer Nelson.

Oh Damn This was a bad Idea to join you guys
It will be the first comment from me on this forum and I didnt think it would be in Ime Udoka thread. But as a rare Nets fan from Russia I can tell you these recent news arent even near the last season which was as cruel to watch from Russia as it is only can be (for example – to wake up as early as 3am to watch Nets get beaten by knicks – that is some kind of exotic torture) But still I can see the future which is gonna be bright.

At the end of the day, Travis Outlaw was a TERRIBLE fit in New Jersey. He’s definitely not a great player but there were a lot of fans in Portland who appreciated what he did for their team.. maybe some team takes a chance on Travis
someone definitely will

he is also terrible in 2k12 – dont try to dribble with him at all
but that's all he is

Just my opinion no actual fact but I think Here in Russia our major sports site has some insider inside Prohorov organization – we knew that he would buy Nets like months before the actual buy. And the melo trade to NY was leaked the same way. The bad thing is that for this time there is no hints of Howard becoming a net – a sourse tells on this site that Howard would definetely start the season as Magic

For Jamal Crawford
They needed to shed salary immediately in order to offer him a full MLE.
Hmm he comes off the books in a year anyway, hope they don't sign any more bad deals in the mean time.
Obviously for Crawford also bad news for the nets, Wallace will prob be off the table for the deal that ain’t going to happen anyway.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
That makes no sense
He medically retired. His salary will come off their books NEXT year. He still counts for this season but next year and beyond (he just signed a long term big contract a year ago) he is off the books.
What? No. This is the most obvious move in the history of the Nets franchise. I would trust even the most insane NetsDaily member to make this simple move.
So how much cap space do we now have?
