James To Start...While Nets Wait

PrintShawne Williams was in camp Friday and the Nets continue their recruiting of Andrei Kirilenko, but on Saturday afternoon, the starting small forward for the Nets will be 24-year-old second year player, Damion James and he's not giving it up easily.
"To be honest, I came into camp expecting to be the starting three,'' James said. "Because last year, I was starting before I broke my foot; my first game back off my broken foot I started. So I expected that spot to be mine, man."
Shawne Williams was shooting around but his availability for Saturday is still up in the air. Although the Nets are both privately and publicly recruiting Kirilenko (as well as Kris Humphries), there's nothing new to report.
Fred Kerber reports there's been "little movement" on the Kirilenko front. The big competition for AK-47, it appears, is not the Kings, but CSKA Moscow, Mikhail Prokhorov's old team. Kirilenko signed a three-year deal with an "NBA" out in the summer and moved his wife and family to Moscow, much as Deron Williams did to Istanbul.

Worst Case...For Opening Day
Dwill/Farmar/Gaines
Morrow/Brooks/Udoka
DJames/Shawne/Horner
Humphries/Kirilenko/Jordan
Lopez/Shelden/Petro
But, you can’t rule out a trade.

Worsr case is Humphries and AK sign elsewhere….
Also, AK would be starting over James with Shawne as the bench 4

If AK and Hump go somewhere else
that’s the best case scenario. It means BK is closing in on Dwight. I honestly don’t think BK would let them go, and leave the team THIS short, no matter how much cap space he’s trying to reserve, without getting Dwight here NOW.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
“If Kirilenko comes in… I don’t want to just hand him that spot… Coach is going to make him earn it, and I’m going to make him earn it.”
I absolutely love James’ attitude

AK might not be a bad 4 with james at the 3 considering his rebounding toughness
but the bigger question is can either of them stay healthy in this 66 game season….
It seems like we will have a logjam at forward if we sign both AK and Humphries so if we do get AK i wouldn’t be surprised if Reggie Evans ends up being the other pickup barring a trade or late night amnesty…..
Well James has only one year in the league
and is only 24. So lets hope last year with his foot etc. was just freak injury’s and he can be healthy this year.

LOL!!!!
Only way there will be good news about Hump is if he signs a ONE YEAR DEAL.
After that IMO there is no such thing as Good News with Hump. He is damaged goods.
Damn, I'm feeling sorry the dude now
10-10-1 and not even a rumored offer. Maybe he’s looking for a starting job AND good salary. You got to think he’s playing with a chip on his shoulder now.

Give Hump a front loaded 3 year deal and let’s go!
He’ll be needed off the bench even if they get Dwight Howard (long shot)
"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
True. Front load both Hump and AK - give them both 10 mil a piece this year
and the next two years, 6 mil a piece. 22 mil over 3 years, nothing to sneeze at. Depth this year and future, also trade pieces with reasonable cap #, if needed.
Carl Landry is the best PF available, but it's not what the Nets need SMH.

It seems like the D12 is going through March. I really though it will happen before 1/1, but that was misunderstood.
Someone mentioned that the 1/1 will not lose D12 the 5th year, rather the percentage increases. Any truth/source for that!?!?
Naw, he loses neither
Whatever team he is on 3/15, he is eligible to sign the 5/109M max deal
the 1/1 deadline is only for extensions….Dwight will be opting out and signing a new deal entirely. Net Income has posted on this a few times in the comments of articles.
I hope we just have to hear him and not see him

He never got a fair shot last year with all the injuries and everybody is freaking out about how we don’t have a 3 (myself included). I’m looking forward to him getting a chance. He has the right attitude, he’s tough, plays D, and showed some scoring ability before last season in the summer leagues.

i meant that are we going to get him or not? I want him back personally, at the right price
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
It may be benificial for him to accept a bloated one year deal
more so than AK mainly due to the fact that he has to prove his off court issues are behind him…. With the Kings looking to give AK a multiyear deal at big money we may be on the outside looking in……
A lot of people, they don’t know my name, but they’ll say, “Oh yeah, the guy with the dreads.” I think whatever people can attach to you and identify with you, they do. My hair’s a spiritual thing for me. I don’t know from day to day if I’ll cut them, if I won’t cut them. It’s been 22 years at this point. I just take it day by day.
while i understand what is going on here.....
do you guys think we havent signed anyone at the 3 and 4 cause BK thinks theres still a shot at DH now, or do you think he is aiming for the trading deadline and doesnt wanna fill up any of that capspace……if we are waiting for the trading deadline, playing with this roster and a maybe a fringe player added would be walking down a slippery slope

Nah. Maybe.
Amnesty deadline is at midnight but today’s been pretty quiet.
I think Monday at the earliest
48 hours after amnesty
There are a few people I would like to get if
AK and Hump dont want one year deals.
1) A. Jameson – Start him or have him come of the bench for Offense. But his expiring can help us down the road.
2) Go all out and get Josh Smith – Dwight’s buddy – as long as it doesnt hurt us to trade or sign Howard
3) Diaw – not my first choice but in the right system he can be an all around player that fits Bk’s mantra and is an expiring contract.
Dont think its goign to happen
These are all quality players who will not come cheaply. Cavs will want young talent and picks for jameson. There is no way we get Josh Smith unless we offer Brook. With Diaw you have Jordan who isnt looking to take on any contract and is looking forward to Diaw coming off the books so we would have to entice him with someone with a larger expiring contract
by bettacalltyrone on Dec 16, 2011 3:08 PM EST up reply actions
not that i want diaw
but if Jordan is looking to get him off the books, Nets can pretty much take him for nothing since they have the cap space to absorb his contract. Bobcats would get a TPE.

I like that they’ve hired a classy voice for the Barclay’s Center- now can we please get an assurance that the games won’t be pumped full of bad pop and hip hop like all the other awful arenas in the NBA?
I want to be able to go to an arena and have the fans providing the background noise, not a digital organ over speakers or a Chris Brown song while my team is bringing the ball up the court.
Why a one year deal makes sense for HUMP
The dude may want a multi-year deal, but he was in the NBA for five years produced nada. Yes, he was behind KG and Dirk, but his numbers and reputation was awful. One good year does not rate a multi-year deal. But if he can replicate what he did last year with us, then he has a shot at a great contract, with us or elsewhere. And he gets the Kardashian stink off of him. We can pay him $8-9mm, which is more than he will get a multi-year deal to start at. So if he produces, it is a win-win. We keep our cap space and he gets the multi-year deal he wants next year somewhere else.
agreed
if last year was the product of a contract year, then, well, he’d be in a contract year again, so he can put up big numbers again!

So who else has interest in Hump?
I still don’t understand the logic to trying to sign up to a large 1 year contract.
Nets can sign him for less, by offering 5 years (Start at 5 million with 7.5% increases).
He couldn’t do better by getting 4 years from another team.
If ORL was to trade for Lopez, surely they would want Hump too, for long term.
Makes no sense to me, because I don’t see Howard being a Free Agent this summer, as long as he threatens not to sign an extension (or player option) with any other team.
He either will be traded in the coming few weeks or after the All Star game.
AK may be a different story because he might not be as ideal for a rebuilding team as is Hump, besides the injury history,
Would AK agree to 10 million for 1 year, knowing that he might get traded before the deadline or he would have to negotiate a new deal at the end of the season? He could get a full MLE of 20 million for 4 years elsewhere, which may not be as attractive, as long as he expects to be healthy for a few more years.
If Nets paid him 21 million over 3 years, I think he might agree, but his contract would be harder to move to clear cap space.
I would think his contract could be swapped with Turk?
The the Presidental Candidate and Most Interesting Man in the World on the phone.
He would have signed with Sac. already if he didn’t prefer the Nets organization.
He might not ever see Brooklyn though, if he only gets a 1 year contract.

"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
Lakers' Master Plan courtesy of B. Simmons??
Along those same lines: Since they know the Rockets are hot for Gasol, why wouldn’t they tinker with that same Rockets package from last week’s vetoed three-teamer (Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic and a 2012 o. 1 pick), see if they can dump Walton’s contract in the deal (and maybe take back Hasheem Thabeet’s expiring deal), then see if they can flip Martin to Milwaukee (for Stephen Jackson and a draft pick), Denver (in a sign-and-trade for Arron Afflalo) or Phoenix (for Jared Dudley, Mickael Pietrus’ expiring deal and a future pick)? If their ultimate play is Dwight Howard, wouldn’t it make more sense to deal Gasol for multiple pieces, then make a run at Howard with Bynum plus some of those pieces? Let’s say they made that Houston deal (Gasol for Scola, Martin, Dragic and a 2012 no. 1 pick), then quickly flipped Bynum, Martin, Dragic, their 2012 no. 1 pick and Houston’s no. 1 pick for Howard and J.J. Redick (and kept Scola for themselves). Now you’re looking at Howard, Scola (such an underrated offensive player), Metta World Peace, Kobe and Fisher as starters, with McRoberts, Blake and Redick off the bench. That’s a pretty good outcome, right?
Dwight has to say NO to LA
otherwise I’m very fearful we are not getting him
I love the optimists on here, but i dont see our package closing the deal now, and if they want him later…its trouble for us
I'm pretty sure...
That they (Houston) aren’t going to just do Gasol for Martin, Dragic, Scola and 2012 no 1 pick….they’d have to be getting some guys back too…and wouldn’t Orlando demand Scola too?
Don’t see that working out..
ya - I agree Orlando would want Scola
that part is dumb by Simmons
But I think the overall premise may be right, if we lose Dwight…its going to be in this manner IMO
Houston has hard-on for Gasol
If Brook lights it up this season, ORL will take our deal.
If not, DH goes to LAL as a rental and joins us in the summer.

I think he’s a great writer.. sure he’s biased but he’s a lot of fun to read.
Why do you think he’s such an idiot?
It’s really not that different from the current proposed Lopez trade. A few 1st rounders that will never amount to anything, an up and coming center, Martin and Dragic.
He has no good reason for thinking Simmons is an idiot.
I’ve tried to engage him in this conversation before and nothing productive came of it.
He’s just a hater. It is what it is.
sooo Bynum and Kevin Martin for Howard
and Redick? And they keep Scola too?
They think 5 late picks, or Gerald Wallace and a pick, is nothing but 2 late picks are worth talking about?
Nice. For the Lakers.
Only thing that is missing here
Is that Magic want to move Turkoglu as well. Lakers cant absorb him. And if Rockets are ask to absorb him (which i doubt that they would) they would not be willing to give up so much for Gasol at that point

The question is can we endure that long with a team only meant to meet the salary floor.
By preserving cap space yeah it could mean not even getting Hump or AK, just minimum guys to round out the roster. Crazy, scary thought but that’s what preserving most of the remaining 19 million cap space would mean.

I think we're gonna see Morrow average about 15 pts with DWill finding him outside.
What the nets should have done is hire Reggie to teach him how to move with out the ball – tire our his defender, create lanes for his PG.
Lopez scoring numbers will be up more
better shape, new moves, killer jump shot….there is no reasoning for him to not score more point on this team.

Question about the new CBA:
How does the new stretch exception work?
One of the key points in the Howard trade saga is that the Magic are going to want some team to take Turkoglu back. Why can’t the Magic use the stretch on Turkoglu and pay him less money over more seasons, instead of accepting a worse deal for Howard?
Bleieve I read teams can only "stretch" contracts...
… signed under the new CBA.
What is up with all this
“What is going on with HUMP?” Talk
Hump and his AGENT doesnt want a ONE YEAR DEAL.
That is what is going on.
Where's the Humphries interest...
… from the rest of the league?
I would like Hump back
but Hump needs to get off his high horse. All other teams are set at PF, especially starting PF. No one’s going to pay him starter money like he may be seeking. IMO, after this weekend, Hump will realize that the only place he’s going to get a chance to play a prove himself again, is the Nets. Take it or leave it buddy.

"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
Which Net is everybody’s favorite PRE-Jason Kidd?
Mine was Sam Cassell (I’m also a Sam). The Houston Rockets were my first favorite basketball team and when Sam I Am came to the Nets it just cemented by love of the team, even though I’m from Westchester.
Childs was on the team with Kenny for a season or two if I remember...
…then they traded Kenny.
Those were the days.. I remember seeing the Nets beat Jordan and the Bulls, not during the 72-10 season but the season afterwards. I’ll never forget that game because it seemed like the most impossible thing in the world.
The Nets had pretty much sealed the game, 99-95, and the crowd was going crazy. With only a few seconds left, Jordan knew he’d lost. So what did he do? He dribbled down court and drained a 3- even when he lost he did so in an intimidating way.
Kenny Anderson, Derrick Coleman, and Drazen Petrovic made me the Net fan I am today.

Ditto...
92-93 season is where it all began for me. Petro was and will always be my favorite NBA player.
I know you’re joking but you even failed at picking a player before Jason Kidd, let alone choosing the worst player :P

I actually registered on this website the day that I found out the Arm N’ Hammer passed so that I could “pay my respects”.
Too bad that it takes 24 hours for the account to activate.
Been a fan so long
since ‘76-77 so there are many. Super John, Bernard, Buck, Birdsong, Dawkins, Sugar Ray, Drazen, Mookie, Kittles, KVH but probably if I had to choose one, it’s Buck. Guy was a workhorse and while it was a sad day that he got traded to Portland (on my birthday no less) but glad he had a chance for a title.
Favorite Nets team was ‘83-84 even moreso than the Kidd led teams…Buck at PF, Albert King at SF, Dawkins at C, Birdsong at SG and Micheal Ray at the point (stil my favorite Nets PG, even more than Kidd), guys like G-Man and O’Koren off the bench…very solid and fun to watch (even though back then, could only watch road games on WOR but use to listen to the games on WNBC radio…predecessor to WFAN). Those early 90’s team had a lot of promise but it was the only time I felt a bit embarrassed by the team as DC, Anderson and Morris weren’t that likeable
I might be going to tomorrows game...
Lets give MarShon a warm welcome even if he doesn’t play that well.
A Knicks friend of mine wants to take me, he’s paying. He’s pumped about his Knicks team and wants to rub it in.
So if you see a guy with a Nets cap on beating the heck out of a big white goofy Knick fan…don’t worry…he probably had it coming.
LETS GO NETS…

Not a joke but also not something they seriously expect Humphries to consider. It’s just a publicity stunt
yeah probably
or Hump plays hockey and the team is dumb enough to think he’ll quit basketball for them
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
Simmons article is outrageous...
…he’s so funny, but so biased and SO wrong about sports. He makes much better points about movies.
Can someone clear this up for me:
If a team (LAL) trades a good player (gasol) right now, for a bunch of mediocre player (k-mart, scola), how soon can that team trade those mediocre players?
I really don’t think you can just trade for a player and “flip” them immediately.
Am I wrong?
yes
but what if its a two-team deal?
how soon before you can trade them again?
So confusing
Why are people acting like Shawne Williams is going to be our starting 3 or that he only played “a little four” for the Knicks? I would love to see the stats or talk to Knick fans but I’m almost positive Williams played the majority of his minutes at the 4 or 5. He’s no post player but he doesn’t have the handles or speed to the play the 3. He’s big enough to play the 4 and 5 and he stretches the floor at those spots like few big men can.
I’d love to see him play alongside Brook, Deron and Morrow. So much shooting, the floors going to be incredibly spread out.
