PrintShawne Williams admits it will be weird Saturday afternoon when takes the floor at the Prudential Center and looks down the other end of the court and sees the team that gave him a second chance last season. Less than 48 hours after agreeing to terms with the Nets, he will be facing his old team, the Knicks.
The 6'9" combo forward with the sweet stroke and 7'3" wingspan won't be starting but he is expected to play. And when he does, it will be all business just as his decision to join New Jersey was. "It was a career decision, and mostly a business decision," Williams said. "It was a hard decision to make, but I feel like I made the right decision. I did it for me, my family and my career, basically."

I'm hyped up already from watchin these preseason games.
The Cavs and Pistons game was pretty good.
you can't tell me he wasn't a signing to compliment dwight if he comes
he has a rashard lewis quality… minus the 20 million dollar contract
Tbh he's had one "good" season where he shot 40% 1.3 for 3.3 Per game,
Can he really repeat that or was it a product of the Knicks hi-tempo offense the nets are trying to copy?
im not saying he'll repeat those numbers but it spreads the court
which is what you need to clear the lane for a dominant big guy
Shawne's 1.3 of 3.3 40% 3PT he put up in around 21 minutes
Favorably compares with Morrow’s 1.9 of 4.5 42% in 32 minutes.
Williams’ 3.7 rebounds and 0.8 block in just under 21 minutes are also pretty good numbers.
If?
When he comes

Sign Hump and Ike Diogu at PF.
Sign Hump and give Ike Diogu the minimum and you have three PFs with Sheldon Wiliiams and can afford Jordan Williams to play at Springfield.
Shawne Williams and Damion James can also play PF in a pinch.

Interesting find is that Denver is paying Nene in decreasing salary, starting at 15 million and decreasing to 11 million by year 5.

from rotoworld - pre fantasy draft
New Jersey Nets
A starting lineup on opening night should look like Deron Williams, Anthony Morrow, Damion James, Shelden Williams and Brook Lopez. Actually, Shelden Williams will hopefully not be starting for the Nets, but they’re so thin at PF right now it’s a possibility. They’re still talking to Kris Humphries, so we’ll see. Travis Outlaw was waived and Shawne Williams was signed from the Knicks, and Williams will likely challenge James for the starting SF job. I have James winning it for now. Deron should be in great shape after playing during the lockout, Morrow and James are sleepers if they can stay healthy and hang onto starting jobs, while Lopez will hopefully improve on his six rebounds per game. There’s still a lot of talk out there about Dwight Howard going to the Nets, but that’s not worth worrying about until something actually happens. Draft results: Deron 9th, Lopez 24th and Humphries 96th.

Question
If Dwight isn’t traded by the Jan. deadline I know he cannot sign for as much money, but if it goes past that deadline does Dwight stand to lose more if he is not traded at the deadline or would he get the same contract as an honest-to-goodness free agent.
because Orlando loses leverage after that date
Dwight could say that he not committing to any team because he is going to become a free agent regardless and weigh his options then. The Nets could retain their assets and Dwight and Deron would walk into Brooklyn with a much better team. Right now the Nets have all the leverage.
Brooklyn
PG: Williams
SG: Morrow/ Brooks/Bogdanovic
SF: S. Williams/ James
PF: Lopez/ Williams
C: Howard/Petro
Now I think Petro would be easy to trade and would still have Bird rights of some of their free agents. The draft is deep where they would be able to add two more pieces (say McAdoo at PF and A. Thomas at SF) in the first round. Not sure all the pieces fit but you would have tons of flexibility if they didn’t.
one more time, that is WRONG
January 1 is relevant ONLY if the player wants an extension on his current contract. Neither Howard nor D-Will is seeking an extension. They plan opt out of the final year of their contracts and become free agents. If they are both on the Nets, the Nets will retain their Bird Rights and be able to sign Williams to five years and $101 million, Howard to five years and $109 million.

and how much if Howard becomes a free agent?
4 years at average salary of ?
$78 million roughly

now the new CBA allows for different rules on extensions
I know I read that they can lower the salary in beginning years on an extention. Would it be possible to extend Dwight after a set time and increase his salary? How does that work?
No

There is still hope
At least I hope that Dwight could be convinced to wait out free agency under the premise that Deron would be the captain, but Dwight would be the figurehead in the marketing campaign. I would think that they could convince Dwight’s people that he would make more than enough money to compensate for lost salary and grow his brand tremendously.
The longer Smith waits, the more arena is built and the excitement behind Brooklyn as well as the lure will grow.

what I expect today
Knicks may have more talent on the floor today but I believe the Net will have a conditioning advantage, led by D-Will and Farmar, who I expect to see on the court together.
This will not be a real game. Johnson has said he will give the three D-Leaguers significant time at the end of the game. Horner is probably the best prospect of the three of them, but he is seen as more than a year and a lot of strength away.
James will get a lot of touches. Nets like the idea of him and Williams playing both positions up front.
The Nets will run, run, run.
Lopez will score a lot of points.
More rumors tonight.

There is only person that can really lock down Lopez
and that’s the person we might trade him for. Lopez raped the Knicks last season not 100%, I see no reason why he doesn’t average more PPG and a high FG%. Which Hump was here though, Knicks have have that HUGE front court waiting for rebounds on both ends.

He is gonna be a very good player……………….Although , they will probably end up trading him for an older , washed up player……..They need a back up center…..I say we send Petro for Shupert…..
Why is no one concerned that Stephen Graham may still be on the team after Christmas?
That $1 million could be better served going after Kris Humphries.

Just listened to it last night actually, very impressive. I’m still not sure where to place it. On a normal year it would probably easily be top 5 (have to give it a few more listens to say for sure), but I’m guessing after a few more listens it will still settle in somewhere around 6 after Together/Apart, Undun, Oneiroloy, All 6s and 7s, and maybe Adventures in Counter-Culture.

I don't know if is "fat" but I think it had to do more with his cardio............
like McKnight with the Jets. Remember he was “about” to go play overseas when the lockout ended so he really never played like some others(Dwill/Gaines/Farmer etc) and now it seems like he didn’t even workout over the summer either which that falls on him. We read about Brooks working out, Lopez training with “The Dream” and some others but never JWilll.
I think this is spot on
he looked like Sean May when I saw him and though the same thing minus weight issues, but I was wrong about the second part.

Its going to be hard for him to crack this rotation then
If last season showed any thing about the General, his player rotations are usually set, unless there’s a trade.

Will Howard resign with the Lakers, though?
It’s not really a good situation aside from the fact that he’s in Los Angeles and that the jersey has ‘Lakers’ on the front.

Yup.
I’ll stick with my original guess — which a lot of people took issue with — that Howard will join the Nets as a free agent in the off-season.
That would require unprecedented levels of incompetency from Otis Smith that we haven’t seen since the days of Isaiah Thomas.

That would truly create a dynasty.
As we would not lose Brook, picks or the rooks.
Well, I would trade Lopez, but yeah.
It’s the best possible situation for the Nets.
That’s why I was celebrating when the Magic took Howard off the table while everyone else was writing their suicide note.
He's not off the table
Did you read Al’s article on the other thread?
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
I don't think BK will let that happen
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
Haha
I never flip-flop. I may be wrong, but at least i’m consistent.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
I see you improved your grammar, Will.
You been reading more?
;)
Seriously, though.
When did I “flip-flop?”
We were in agreement
at first when we both thought he would be a Clipper and we were also in agreement as recently as today since we both thought he would be a Laker. Your now think he will be a Net. Happy to hear it.
Your predictions seem to always be on track so im hoping the trend continues and Dwight ends up a Net. I personally think Otos is enamored with Bynum and Gasol. I think Otis is firmly against rebuilding and when push becomes shove, the Lakers will eventually cave and give up Gasol and Bynum.
Well, I'm not a psychic.
I utilize all of the evidence that’s in front of me and make a general assessment of how I expect the situation to turn out. As a result, my ‘predictions’ are subject to (relative) change.
It’s not in my nature to stick by a conclusion just for the sake of it — I’m not Killa or Lupo — if there’s new information that would indicate a change, then my opinion adjusts along with it.
I’ve been saying Howard would be a Net since the Nets decided not to use up their cap-space (so whenever Nene resigned with the Nuggets). I crossed the Clippers off when they resigned DeAndre Jordan to that contract. Still don’t think the Lakers are a good situation for Howard.
I also think — and I’ve been ‘consistent’ with this — that the Nets won’t get him until March (or later).
Ya
Once a huge threat im not looking at the Clippers anymore. I agree with your points. I however cannot see Otis making the right move by rebuilding. I feel this way based on his signings. He will try to stay competitive so its really up to the Lakers. If they give up both Gasol and Bynum then Otis will trade Dwight there. Will Dwight resign? Prolly not. I agree that the situation in LA is getting ugly and Dwight might prefer us come 2012
BK's working on it
I read Al’s column from the other thread, and he still says we have a chance to get him now. He also said ’’don’t believe trade talks have ended’’. I see why you guys love Al so much.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
im happy we didnt get melo
we got deron whos clearly a much better player and now have a great chance at dwight. Its the perfect situation. Not to mention we gave up less for deron than we were going to for melo

If Damion James doesn't prove to have a consistant outside shot he will
lost his job at SF to Shawne Williams more than likely

Mr. Candace Parker
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
Avery seems to like having a shooter off the bench
With Morrow likely starting at SG, James could be the token SF starter but Shawne getting lots of minutes as a sub.
BTW, I now think AK stays in Russia until we can trade for Dwight (he doesn’t want to be a contract shipped to Orlando) so James-Shawne could man our SF spot for now.
Shelden can be the starting PF
until, or if, we get Hump. If we can’t get Hump, I’d just get a cheap vet back-up PF.
Easy on the cap space, March is only a few months away.
If we have Dwight
I don’t care who the PF is.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
This is how I see our lineup by Jan 1 or 2
PF-Insert someone here
SF-Turk or D James
C-Obviously
PG-Deron
SG-Morrow
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
if we get dwight at the deadline or
after the rookies are available in trades I think they will want marshon also, he can only improve a deal, ideal a nice sg like him would work very well with dwight and deron, especially since he has shown he can play some defense, would make us much better with the two d’s getting all the hype and he being an unsung piece.

Do you guys really think that Marshon without a game yet is better than Morrow.
Are you serious? I would not mind to give either for D12, but c’mon.
Marshon was picked late, and no he’s not Kobe without even a game played.
I love the kid, but he’s not a major piece.
We don't have to give Marshon up
if we trade for Dwight now.

I play H2H
but yeah it probably sucks for rot

H2h points
and by the way…people are saying Lopez ranked 26th overall is too high….how do they figure? He’s not affected by mononucleosis and he’s got Deron. He’s going to be like 25/8 this year

Key matchup today..
Melo was 30&10 in 4 games against our two defensive specialists in Travis outlaw and Stephan Graham. I want to see how he will match up against an unproven Damion James and Shawne Williams.
The one thing I like tho, is the fact that Melo will have to play defense against us this season cause James is a slasher and Shawne can shoot.
Gunna be fun having morrow Shawne and D-will around the perimeter. Gives Lopez and hopefully Hump 1on1 opportunities.
game day and our headline is about shawne williams??
lol… whatever… LETS GOOOOOOO
dwill to howard -> kidd to kmart 2.0
lol

It would be el harsho
but at least we’d have that flexibility for a trade. Even if not Howard, a wing…Howard will be ours in FA anyhow. If we trade for a wing he’ll just want to come here more….might not even talk to other teams come FA.

We better make a trade, and sign AK + Hump.
This is saddening.
D-Will/Farmar/Gaines/Smith
Morrow/Brooks/Curry
James/Shawne Williams/Udoka
Sheldon/J-Will/Horner
Lopez/Petro
Jersey Strong. Brooklyn Ready. 2012 Nets.

Semi-skeptical of Shawne though
His rookie year: 19/52 threes (36.5%)
2nd year: 43/137 threes (31.4%)
3rd year: 1/17 threes (5.9%)
Then suddenly, 4th year, 85/212 (40.1%)
Draftexpress on Shawne, 2009
Displays a quick release on his jumper, but isn’t always consistent with his form or rhythm. Will take some shots from beyond the arc, but proves erratic at best. A mediocre catch and shoot option, especially since with a hand in his face.
flu-like symptoms. Oh well.
It’s preseason anyway.
Got a theory as to why Dwight wants to come to Brooklyn...
My Father is a old head. He played pro ball in the negro leagues for Memphis. His first love was baseball although he lettered in everything (Baseball, Football, Basketball, Track and Tennis – I may have forgotten something). Anyway, Dude has a real affinity for Brooklyn because he used to go to Ebbets Field as a teenager. Why, Jackie Robinson. That guy was a role model for most young black boys of that era. (should’a seen my Dad’s face decades later when he saw the huge project building sitting where Ebbet’s Field use to be – kinda sad for me actually)
Well if you take a look at Dwight Sr. you’ll see that Dudes gotta be pressing 60 or more. That would mean that he was up and around in the 50’s/ 60’s probably as a small child in South Georgia and he had to know who Jackie Robinson was. My assessment is that D12’s pop’s opinion is much more in play than anybody has stated. He made the one quick statement when this all started and you haven’t heard a peep from his since. Dwight is only 26. Guarantee you Daddio is knee deep in it…..and my guess is his Pop’s an old head like my old man and he also has an affinity for Brooklyn. I mean there was no black professional athlete before Brooklyn and Jackie Robinson (unless we’re talking Thomas Molineaux – look him up). Bottomline, Dwight’s coming.
Meantime, let me get the salsa and chips warmed up for 2pm.
Shawne Williams OUT today?
Avery on Shawne Williams: “I guess we worked him 2 hard yesterday.” Williams will rest today and tomorrow, hope is to bring him back Monday.

How much was Green's contract that was voided?
Dont be surprised if the Celtics pick up Dalembert to replace him

Deron on Brook and Dwight
Ledger_Nets Colin Stephenson
Williams said he never said he wants to play with Dwight Howard, and he thinks Brook Lopez "can get the job done.’’
I’d be fine with that if we pick up a better PF/SF combo
who has to day that? hell even i want to play with dwight
excuse my bad english please
wonder if theyre saving the game so you can watch it another time..
if anyone knows a site dat does that EMAIL ME PLEASE!!!! GOT CALLED IN TO WORK =/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JLIVE002@FIU.EDU
Lopez was the only starter to play the entire first quarter...
wouldn’t be surprised if they are showcasing him for the magic
