lol what?

I’ve been critical of the whole shoot for the sky plan since the start.

Build a team the right way. Not try to get a superstar every chance you get. The Nets’ desire to get a superstar at all costs was what landed us in this mess, and it started with the idiotic plan to clear our cap space for Lebron.

How did this happen?

by Blkswizz on Dec 22, 2011 1:44 PM EST reply actions

Some QUICK research

Fractures of the base of the foot’s fifth metatarsal bone are common fractures seen both in recreational and competitive athletes…This surgery may include the placing of an intramedullary screw (much like a long wood screw) into the bone’s shaft…..Due to the poor blood supply in this region, it is often difficult to get these fractures to heal…… Progressive weight bearing can often begin at 2 weeks after surgery and progress as tolerated. In some studies, the average time to heal was between six and eight weeks. Patients often return to play within three months of surgery. Screw removal may be necessary after healing if the patient develops symptoms related to the head of the screw.

Excuse me

Why this is one of the most unfortunate things that could happen – does this mean that Dwight still doesn’t make it to FA? Why are you saying ‘bye Dwight’? I mean, if Deron and Dwight had a plan to play together somewhere, why would this effect both of them going to Brooklyn? Even if Deron asks for a trade, he’s still going to want to test FA as well as Dwight.

There is still a shot att them teaming up together to play for our Nets.

Lets see them play a few games before you panic to this extent. The season has yet to start, and Derron Williams will have to step up and score and shoot more. Dwill can win games for us without Brook.

by chunk291 on Dec 22, 2011 1:52 PM EST reply actions

Yea he can win games. Not 35 which would probably get us a playoff spot.

We are screwed without Lopez. He was our scoring option and without him teams are just going to load up on deron and we really have no one to score. Hopefully Morrow, Brooks, and Shawne Williams can step up and maybe we can go a few games under .500 until Lopez can return.

We were in control for Dwight until this, and here's why

Otis obviously lied to Sager the other night, because he’s listening to the Lakers offer. Remember, he said he wasn’t listening to ANY offers. If the Lakers had turned it down, the Magic would have turned to us, considering how much they like Brook, since they want to sign him in FA. Now, we know why BK was smiling the other night, because Otis was a lying moiso. Here’s the thing, though: Fegan WILL NOT let Dwight lose that much money, and if the Lakers turn Otis down, it’s either trade him here or let him walk for nothing, and they ain’t letting him go for squat. It’s now up to BK to get at least 1 or 2 more teams involved. Maybe Millsap or Jefferson, Farmar, Wallace or something like that + draft picks. Fear not, Nets fan. Dwight will still be here, and we are still in control.

With severe stress fractures, surgery may be needed for proper healing. The procedure may involve pinning the fracture site, and rehabilitation can take up to a half year.

Dwight is NOT going to want to come to a Nets team that won't even make the playoffs

The only hope we have now is that he indeed walks as a free agent and we sign him then.

Or that the Magic trade him to us because of our great pick and expirings, and – ah whatever, I’m not even going to go on.

This is the worst possible news we could’ve ever gotten. I would’ve rather had Deron injured, because we aren’t showcasing him.

Now if you want to tell me this leads to a dominos falling to LAL deal then he resigns there and its over, ok. That could happen…But to suggest these guys are worrying about whether a roster WITHOUT DH and DWill will not make the playoffs….irrelevant!

I cant believe the majority of you gave his injury history as a positive to his game. I said time and time again that injuries are completely uncontrollable, and especially for a giant C like Lopez. On top of that, his brother already had injuries related to his size. It was only a matter of time.

I said it. I said it over and over. I knew this day would come and I wish it wasn’t right now. Worst possible timing.

But another sobering reminder to all of you who harp on how a guy is injury prone or injury free. A guy like Grant Hill can come back and play injury free for this many seasons now, dont sit here and tell me that ______(fill in any name) is going to fit any sort of mold. CHAOS THEORY!

Cap space means jack in this league...

…we’ve had the most cap space in the league in the last few years and the most losses to show for it.

The way to improve is to trade, and to stay competitive so free agents want to sign with us. All the cap space in the world won’t do you any good if there’s nobody to use it on.

Merry Christmas, Nets Nation

Only solution is to tank the season and keep the high draft pick(s). It sucks, but there’s really no other choice at this point.

But imagine this diabolical scheme: Deron and Dwight agree that they want to team up in Brooklyn in 2012, so they secretly agree to sign as free agents in the summer. In the meantime, we trade Deron for assets he and Dwight both like for next year, plus draft pick(s). We tank the season, increasing the value of our own draft pick. In the draft, we have at least 1 very high pick, plus the Rockets pick, plus whatever pick(s) we get in a Deron trade. We draft 2-3 future all-stars. Then Deron and Dwight both sign as free agents, and we take over the NBA world for a decade. Boom.

In the most amazing scenario in the history of professional sports, Deron and Dwight team up with the players they choose in the DWill trade, a healthy Lopez, MarShon, and three 1st round picks from the most stocked draft since 2003.

Imagine.

Please people before you start fearing Deron and Dwight run to the Mavs, they cant do it..

Dirk alone is owed 20 mill, then there is the 8 mill from haywood or marion, can amnesty one but not both, then there is another 3.5 locked into beaubois and jones. That leaves only 29 mill in cap if they increase it to 60 mill. Dwight and DWill would be around 34mill.

by BEBESTER on Dec 22, 2011 2:21 PM EST reply actions

few things to consider

1. Just cuz Brook went down doesn’t mean it’s automatic Deron is gone. the Nets were doing the right things, and Deron knows it, so he’s not going to just say jump ship because a player got hurt, it happens.

2. Nets have $9.5mil in cap space because they made smart moves

3. unfortunately, they will have to use some of it, which means a trade for an expiring, or unfortunately, a bad contract. Farmar is a trade piece that a team might look into. Farmar for Okur’s expiring or gulp Al Jefferson’s horrible contract (may need to add a pick).

I don’t think it’s panic time yet, it sucks BIG TIME. but there is still time to make some moves. Nets are lucky they didn’t spend and kept open the cap needed

People relax

Yes it sucks that we lost our second best player…and I’m pissed because I have tickets for the heat game…but

We are going to get a top 5 pick out of this injury….even if D-Will leaves (which I don’t think he will) we will have a new guy to build around (whoever we draft). Plus we still have Houston’s pick as well (lottery protected though). And if we don’t get Dwight in Free Agency (realistically the only way at this point unless they are dumb enough to trade for Lopez’s broken foot) then we re-sign Lopez and hope the injury is not reoccurring.

Not the best situation…but I guess it could be worse

I'm a nurse (Murse = male nurse)

and also a massage therapist. I’ve worked in rehab clinics, and medsurg units. More often than not, from what I’ve seen, people normally start walking again without a cast after 5-6 weeks, and start playing sports again after about 8. I’m assuming that with round-the-clock care and top-notch medical facilities and athletic trainers, Brook will probably be ready to play again in 8-10weeks, though, he won’t be back up to speed for more like 3-4months.

Of course there are a lot of variables, but let’s not forget how this kind of injury has impacted other players, namely Tyson Chandler.

Horrible News

Nets can’t compete w/o Lopez – wasn’t even sure they could w/him. Team will have a poor record, this probably devalues Lopez’s trade value as well, and Williams will likely become increasingly disenchanted.

This franchise just can’t catch a break. With Kobe out for a while w/that wrist injury and Bynum suspended for the first 5 games, look for LA to bite the bullet and offer up Bynum and Pau for D12. Not sure why Howard would want to join an aging Kobe in LA over DWilliams in his prime in Brooklyn, but that’s the best package Orlando can hope for, and it trumps the Nets offer. What a horrible day for the Nets.

The Magic don't want a suspended player any more than an injured player,

No chance in the firey pits of hell dwight leaves 30 million on the table and doesnt take a trade to LA!!!! I was an advocate of signing Nene…..things would look a lot less scary now with a big man go to guy of his skillset…..now what are we left with…..Sheldon/Petro at the 5!!!

King's Dicey Game of Chicken w/Magic Will Haunt Us Now

If Howard is dealt elsewhere, what would compel Williams to stay? I think King needs to at least explore what he can get for Williams. Man, if we could have got that package for the Clippers got for Paul, that would have been ideal. I can’t imagine the other contenders having assets nearly as desirable as Gordon, Kaman, the kid from Wake Forrest and the T’Wolves unprotected pick. Would rather have that haul than Williams anyways.

Now what are we going to get? Some overhyped role players from Dallas or LA and some bottom of the draft picks? What a nightmare. The NBA is a joke.

You guys are funny

Yes it stinks Brook is out through Feb but if Otis doesn’t trade Dwight before the trade deadline, then we’ll be fine. It’s easy to be a Nets fan and think we’re cursed or whatever, but we got the upper hand here. What if the Magic don’t even want Brook? We got other trade pieces and can get Dwight still and could end up having Brook play backup center for Dwight… come on now!. If not, Dwight wants to play with Deron so still, he wants to be here and we got the upper hand there too. Brook’s a big guy, I’m surprised he hasn’t had other injuries, Robin Lopez was out with tons of injuries for Pheonix. So what do the Magic have? A guy that doesnt want to play there and a short list of teams he’s willing to go to (top of it – the Nets). Who are they going to trade with? LAL? Unless they’re giving up Bynum and Gasol – no happening? Mavs? No cap space.. we’ve still go an up on anyone in the Dwightmare – and maybe we’re a little cursed but I’m choosing to look at it as the glass is half full.

Bottomline – we got one thing Dwight wants – play with Deron Williams.

Plus now that we got Hump back, we don’t need to worry about the rebounds. Anyone remember last year? Who did most of the dirty work at the net anyway? Not worried yet…

kobe is not the one being traded for Dwight

Bynum has harped that he could contribute more if given more touches. well last night with no kobe and just Pau and scrubs he did more than handle his own and step up to the task.

you dont think everyone is hoping Kobe doesnt return for at least a couple games after Bynums suspension is over?

Deron
Brooks
James
Sullnger
Dwight

or something like that

or sign and trade Brook and James for a better SF than James

3) Worst case scenario, we lose Deron.. and play the lottery for a few years.. for the true Nets fans,. that is our bread and butter.. we are good at cheering for a loser.. and it is still fun

You guys are hilarious.

I am disappointed that Lopez got hurt, but it isnt for the same reasons you guys are.

Magic DONT want Lopez. They didnt want him and they dont value him as we do. If they did along with the cap space for Turk and draft picks. we would have Dwight right now. Even if Lopez was health, including him in a deal for Dwight at the trade deadline should have been questionable.

The Magic are the idiots in all this. They are alienating their STAR player. Yeah he has a contract he must fulfill, but clearly he isnt happy and the Magic know it.

Yes I know this is blow but IMO this doesnt effect us getting Dwight. Otis and Magic FO know what they want to make money. So lopez being in a deal for Dwight didnt happen before and for all we know would never have happened but not because of this injury but because of Otis and Magic FO stupidity.

It's not a blessing in disguise

But the best way to look at it is that it doesn’t effect Dwight and Deron’s free agency plans. They are both going to make it to free agency in all likelihood.

Get that top 5 pick in order to draft a Perry Jones or Sullinger is nice I guess but this still sucks. But if that happens and they both come:
Deron – MarShon – Perry Jones/James – Sullinger/Hump – Howard is not a bad five. Would be one or the other of Perry or Sullinger or someone with solid NBA potential obviously.

Idk about you guys

But I am a big believer that everything happens for a reason. As for it happening to the Nets – look we didn’t get Melo, got Deron (win). Maybe now we can’t trade Brook and Dwight is willing to come here in the off-season (huge win! why? no hedo contract, get to keep picks, Brook., etc.).

And at the end of the day, we still have Deron. DeShawn, Shawne and Hump will definitely help, and we will be semi-compettive. All we need now is to add a nice center, and there are plenty of options available.

So just relax!

they were gonna wait til the deadline to deal him anyway. If Lopez comes back before then, our deal can be just as good as before. anything can happen. LA can refuse to part with their two bigs (I would deal them in a second for Howard, but who knows), Howard could pull the ultimatum, and really our package could increase in value cause our lottery pick will get more valuable.

No.

I understand you are down, but your logic isn’t sound.

Making or not making playoffs means jack moiso this year… it’s all about BK.

The lakers ALWAYS had the best deal for Howard, and they still do even more today.

Howard has made it crystal clear that we are his first option 1-Nets 2-Mavs 3-Lakers

The Magic will FORCE him to stay, making him DECIDE between staying in Orlando, getting that 5th year + more money or going somewhere else and losing 30 mill… that is their play. They do not want to trade him.

The only thing that changes now is that before we had a SLIM shot at trading for Howard this year, and now we don’t.

Not ready to panic yet

Yes, this sucks. Lopez was entering his most important season yet with a franchise PG to boot and is now out at least 4-6 weeks. Avery will have to get creative maybe putting Shawne Will in at the 4 and some combo of Hump and Sheldon at the 5. This also means James will probably have to play more at the 4. Good thing we signed Stevenson cause he can move between the 2 and the 3.

As for the Dwight front, fellas we knew from the beginning that if LA said yes to Bynum and Gasol, Dwight would probably head there. But LA has there own problems. Kobe’s injured (they say day-to-day, but I think it’s more week to week), Bynum’s out the first 5 games and they really don’t have much of a bench. I’ll take and wait and see approach before I jump to any conclusions.

I like the idea of getting Fesenko. D-Will has some familiarity with him as well which is huge. The guy is still young, and I’m sure the playing time he will receive here in NJ is something that should appeal to him.

I think we shouldnt look to replace Brook's offense in the time being

but simply look to push the tempo more. Brook’s offensive skillset allows us to be effective in the half court, but fact is Deron running the floor can make anyone look good. Not saying Petro will turn into a 20 ppg scorer, but if we change our style of play (which Avery already alluded to happening) we can try to cover up what’s missing and make that weakness less of a weakness and more of an intentional choice of style. or at least fake it that way

not saying the loss doesn’t suck, but if we roll with it we can maybe hold the fort down until Brook gets back, while hoping for a quick recovery.

THERE IS NO CURSE

we have a way better team history than MANY of the franchises in this league. (Sacramento, Clippers, Toronto, Minnesota, Charlotte, New Orleans, Denver…) This is an unfortunate and bad timed injury to our 2nd best player, that while certainly handicaps us pretty well for the time being, was not all that unlikely to have occurred given Lopez’s incredible lack of injury history up to this point and the craziness of the post-lockout rush back to the courts.

this certainly changes things and makes them harder for the time being but christ, this doesn’t make us a doomed franchise, give me a break. poor ownership was responsible for that, which we’ve escaped now more than we ever have in the past.

Is it ok to wish an injury on Bynum now that we already used up our bad karma? What else could go wrong? For the record, I won’t do that and will not do that and did not do that, but if you believe in karma, then it seems to me worth it to try now…

Hope that Orlando holds onto Dwight and he’s willing to give up money next summer to sign with us. Top draft pick + Dwight + Brook Lopez returning would be awesome, pretty please.

Teams seem to underestimate the timetables for return of stars injured at the start of seasons. For example, Clippers didn’t tell fans that Blake Griffin was going to be out for the season because they didn’t want to lose season ticket sales.

Nets might be underestimating Brooks’ return from injury so as not to scare off ticket buyers.

Seriously, this is bad for the on-the-court product and off.

Synergy Stats, meanwhile, rated Fesenko as the second-best defender in the entire league among players who faced at least 150 opponent plays

+ Enormous center whose size makes him a major defensive presence.

+ Hugely foul-prone and mistake-prone offensively. Horrid foul shooter.

+ Professionalism needs improvement. Also struggles to finish around rim.

The best-kept secret in the NBA right now is Fesenko’s monstrous defensive stats. It’s not that one or two metrics point out his defensive value; it’s that all of them do, without any pointing to the contrary.

Last season the Jazz were an eye-popping 11.91 points per 100 possessions better on defense with Fesenko on the floor, and this is not a new trend. The season before it was 8.67; in limited minutes his first two seasons he also had a strong differential.

Synergy Stats, meanwhile, rated Fesenko as the second-best defender in the entire league among players who faced at least 150 opponent plays; the season before he was first. And according to 82games.com, opposing centers had a PER of just 10.4 against him; the season before it was 12.9.

Despite his size, Fesenko doesn’t block a ton of shots or dominate the boards. He just uglies up the game for opponents with his sheer hugeness, especially since he moves his feet fairly well for his size. And he can still get better — he wasn’t always fully engaged in Utah and needs to step up his commitment.

Now for the bad news. Fesenko has been fairly disastrous offensively. He tends to bring balls back into shot-blockers when finishing at the rim, he’s a 39.8 percent career foul shooter, he’s clumsy, and he has no shooting range or ball skills.

Additionally, his towering foul rate limits his impact — Fesenko commits one every 4.94 minutes for his career, making it virtually impossible for him to play extended minutes. Nonetheless, he can be a very effective, low-cost backup center, and if he can make a few more plays offensively he’ll have real value.

And even though this has been mentioned already

the irony here is astounding. You have a young center who has yet to miss a quarter in his entire career and the one year you need him to look like a high value trade asset he gets injured. And of course the competition is a young center in LA who has been injured for much of his career, and will proceed to have a career year.

Time for D-Will to prove what he has...

Look at our 2002 NBA Final team…

PG. Kidd
SG. Kittles
SF. A rookie Richard Jefferson
PF. Kenyon Martin
C. Todd MacCulloch

vs.
PG. D-Will
SG. Morrow
SF. Damion James
PF. Hump
C. ?

Morrow is better than Kittles; Jefferson was just a rookie, MacCulloch is going to be as good as whatever center we get, and Martin wasn’t that much better than Hump……BUT Kidd MADE them BETTER. That’s what D-Will has to do, take these scrubs and make them better, if D-Will is an elite-PG he will do that…

And also, why does this affect D-Will? Cause he see’s the teaming losing for two months? It’s all about improving the team for the future and D-WILL will 100% NOT BE traded UNLESS Dwight is traded to the Lakers…..AND I STILL DON"T SEE HIM GETTING TRADED

Your right…Kidd made them a lot better…because he could hit them with passes. But they still were scorers…both of them…

Hump and Morrow are not even close to the skill level of Martin and Kittles.

Kittles could make his shots but could drive to the basket too…plus he was super fast and played pretty good d.

Kenyon Martin was just a flat out beast and my favorite player…he started picking up injuries in Denver and his game declined…comparing him to Hump is not even fair…its not close

Morrow is NOT better then Kittles. Morrow is a better 3pt shooter then kittles, but Morrow cant defend(steals), run the floor and finish around the basket.

As much as I hate k-mart’s game, hump is not better then healthy K-mart.

I agree that Dwill like Kidd can make everyone better. I actually think that with the new offensive plays that Avery has created they can possible survive a few months without lopez. the only thing with that the defense has to be unbelievable because they wont out score other teams.

As long as he’s ready by March, just in time to ship him out south, we are ok!

As far as playoffs, you never know. Look who made the playoffs last year.

We used to contend with MacCulloch and Jason Collins. We can still sneak in the 8th spot.

When you have a superstar PG, things happen. Season is long, and tight. THere are gonna be many injuries on the teams we’ll compete with as well.

Enjoy the ride guys ….!!!

It’s not that we lost the championship this year… its that we lost our trade chip for Dwight this year, hence losing the Deron + D12 championship in the future =/

by ap3604 on Dec 22, 2011 3:46 PM EST up reply actions

Easy bro, he will be back by March deadline!!!

Also, B-Lo was a part of the trade, but ORL was not drooling over him. The trade will take more than him. If D12 really wants to come here, ORL will accept whatever best we can offer, whether it’s B-Lo or not.

Im a fan of the Okur/Kaman…maybe Jefferson rout for Replacement center.

Jefferson would be costly.

Okur/Kaman would be cheap.

Kamans game is similar to Lopez’s…so naturally a good fit.

Okur slightly more up tempo.

The bonus of this…going forward is you get one of those three guys and you still have Lopez.going into the trade deadline. Like I said blessing in disguise. It wont be pretty for a lil bit but I believe in BK.

Brook was able to continue playing. Noone even knew he was injured.

Do people recall that when Damion had the same injury, he was limping off the court in pain?
If true then the recovery period could be mostly recovery from the surgery itself.

Do people recall Albert Pujois’ 2 wk recovery? It was a wrist, not a foot, but still took only 2 weeks.

Nets finish with the 4th worst record and end up with a top 3 pick. Magic never trade Dwight and he signs with the Nets without losing lopez!

All these complaints and “we’re gonna be the worst team”, “tank now”, “No Dwill” just goes to show how valuable Brook really is to our team right now. You cll can not deny that Brook has an ENORMOUS impact on our game, whether you think he’s soft or lazy or w/e. You are all proving it right here and now.

DWill probably doesn't care what happens to this season (if we make the post-season or not)

Most likely, what he wants to see is HOW we’re trying to improve the team.
If he’s on board with the strategy, he’ll re-sign.

Remember, he even laid down to think better during a brainstorm meeting with the Nets.

i thought dwill morrow shawne(?) hump and lopez for an entire season would be a lower seed playoff team, would encourage dwight to pick us and dwill to stay. but as it is now, there are only so many scenarios. if we just keep losing (despite trying) dwill gets increasingly frustrated, and we are left at the mercy of dwights inner thoughts, which are as conspicuous as ever. the more time goes by, the less chance we can still get something good for dwill.

Bondy wrote that Nets still have 9.5 M cap space (I thought it might be less).

That should be enough to get AK for 1 yr. and then get near the cap, which would allow us to use the trade exceptions.
Maybe we could pay Stevenson with a exception (he is paid 2.5 million), freeing up the cap space.

For about 1.9 or 2.5 million (for 1 year) we should be able to get a BIG from Europe.
Proky can pay $500,000 to buy out contract, without affecting cap space.

As far as trading Lopez in March

no way Orlando or anyone trades for Lopez this season. A 7 footer coming off a stress fracture, no sane person will trade for that. I wonder had a trade gone down a couple of week ago, it would have been voided anyway because upon a more stringent physical, the Magic would have caught some abnormalities. A stress fracture is often a wear and tear injury, some signs may have already been there a couple of weeks ago.

Only hope now is that Howard flat out refuses to sign an extension with the Lakers, with only an aging Kobe left, its not that attractive a team. If he really wants to win a title, he’ll leave some $ on the table (LeBron DID take less to go to his superteam after all), go free agency and then it’ll be between Nets and Mavs. Then have to hope Deron does the opposite, re-sign with Nets for maximum money (although a Dirk-Dwight-Deron team with a guy like Odom would be pretty tempting…plus Deron’s hometown but Deron and King’s relationship seems good). Blind optimism maybe but goes with the territory.

Deron's not leaving

He’s about to be THE marquee player on a brand new team in NYC in a brand new area. As we all read today, he is very close with Billy King already and has a direct hand in personnel decisions. He said he’s always wanted to live in New York, his wife has always wanted to live in New York.

Now you have guys like Dwight Howard, Gilbert Arenas, etc – guys who we would never even be TALKING about 2 years ago – showing confirmed interest in coming here. Every big free agent is interested in us and if we lose Brook for two months it all crumbles and Deron leaves?

He has a great situation here. He is being given everything he wants within reason. I have no fear.

How many of us thought JKidd was going to spurn us when we were on the decline and sign with the Spurs? Tons of us! But guess what, he resigned in full, and to play at the Meadowlands no less! We got Deron, don’t worry everybody.

Deron is gone after this season. Dwight won’t get here since Otis will trade him to the Lakers. Why not ship everyone out of town for draft picks? Deron-rental, injured-Brook, Morrow, Farmar for a few firsts in a STACKED class sounds good to me.

hilarious the same people who said that no way will Orlando let Dwight walk away are now saying Otis should keep him???

Come on man Otis is going to trade him. People weren’t high on Lopez any way and now you add this??

I mean it’s whatever to me but Bynum was always the better center and player. Come March if it’s between a healthy Bynum and Gasol or Brook. The Lakers package win.

Deron starts complaining or whining go ahead and trade him to Dallas tell them to work out a three team deal or something.

I been the person saying Westbrook but they will likely not move him unless he turns down their extension.

If we get Westbrook try to get Eric Gordon in the off season and hope Brook recovers.

either way it’s whatever.

I mean lets be real so the nets suck for another year how is that any different from the last three years.

Will be on High Five line Opening Night

was hoping to high five Brook. Guess not. Worst part of all this is that Brook’s having surgery 2 days before Christmas – that sucks. i just think everyone should relax; we can’t lose something we never had; and we never had DH. So the Nets are the same team we rooted for last yr. And then we got Dwill who was injured and ended up only playing 15 games with us. I think we’ll be OK; we’re Nets fans for god’s sake – we should be used to the roller coaster. Remember when KMart & KK were kicked to the curb and JKidd was out recovering from surgery and RJ was left carrying the team. Then we got VC and he and RJ played a few games before RJ went down. Eventually everyone got healthy and the result was the Big 3. So good can come from all of this – we just have to hang in there!

You guys throw in the towel way too easy.

Yes, we may have to go through a rough season, but I GUARANTEE you that something good will happen for us soon. You guys are worse than my gf going through PMS. Every little thing makes her just want to end it all. Come on, we’re better than that. Really, wishing for a Bynum injury was just really bad on our part and we got what we deserved. We just have to keep our heads up high and stay positive. We will end up with Dwight and D-Will, it will happen. If it doesn’t, then oh well, we pick our selfs the moiso up and keep on going. I will ALWAYS be a Nets fan through thick and thin. I will never give up on this team. Ever since I came to America I have been watching them and I certainly will not stop now. LETS GO NETS!

some ideas

do you trade assets for an older player like Kamen or Okur, knowing they are probably only seven weeks rental, giving up an asset or two and pick?

or

do you sign one of the two 24-year-old centers for next to nothing and hope they can help and that they might have value down the road: Fesenko or Yi.

or

do you just see what you can do for seven weeks with Petro and Williams.

they did not say that

they said missing 2-3 months in this season is basically the whole season(exaggerated but still he’s going to miss almost half the season before he’s in any type of game shape again) and they said this dramatically helps Dallas and LA assuming:

Lopez stocks drops even lower now since the injury-free thing was his main chip over Bynum

Deron does not want to sit around and lose and the Magic dont deal Dwight to NJ now based on Dwight not putting his foot down like Melo and AI and he is somewhere else long term next summer

by MrDollarBills on Dec 22, 2011 5:53 PM EST up reply actions

Deron Williams on bottom

It’s likely that Humphries could see a fair amount of time at center in a small lineup that would force the team into a more up-tempo offense. Humphries signed a one-year with the team last week and scrimmaged with the team for the first time Thursday. He said it would take some time before he is in full game-shape.

"I think it definitely helps that we have Hump here now," Deron Williams said. "And Petro and Shelden will have to fill in for Brook but they’re not going to be able to score like Brook. I don’t think that’s a secret, so we’re going to have to be a lot more guard-oriented. We’re going to have to get up and down the floor more. We’re going to have to score quick."

by CStanley028 on Dec 22, 2011 5:40 PM EST reply actions

Well that's our only choice really

I think DJ is gonna play very well this year with him seeing a lot of time at PF

by muwu on Dec 22, 2011 5:42 PM EST up reply actions

completely change the style of play to compensate. of course if Hump is out of shape who knows how well that’ll work…

by sheepareevil on Dec 22, 2011 5:42 PM EST up reply actions

And of course he has to deal with all the boos too

but he looked pretty winded in the 5 minutes he played last night. not holding my breath (HAH)

by sheepareevil on Dec 22, 2011 5:44 PM EST up reply actions

At the very least...

…the team might be a bit more fun to watch. Watching Brook iso his way to the basket definitely wasn’t exciting basketball, and the team just doesn’t look good playing half court.

Deron has wanted an up-tempo offense since the time he was in Utah (and apparently was one of the reasons why he was upset with Sloan back then), so he gets his wish too.

by Proballxx on Dec 22, 2011 5:55 PM EST up reply actions

speak for yourself, I love watching Brook operate

and I’m bummed I once again won’t get the chance to se him D-Will together in person.

by sheepareevil on Dec 22, 2011 5:59 PM EST up reply actions

IMO...

….never thought Brook fit well with a star PG like DWill. He’s an iso guy who stops the ball. Can’t pass well or move the ball well. Not that good at catch-and-shoot.

With a PG like DWill we need a faster-pace and more of a pick-and-roll offense.

by Proballxx on Dec 22, 2011 6:04 PM EST up reply actions

true i'll give you that

which is obviously why Howard would be the most perfect situation. but Brook isn’t necessary clashing with Deron just because he can post up and create his own offense. remember that in the playoffs this style of play is almost mandatory, the run and gun has never proven to work as far as a title.

One of the worst days in Nets history?

1. Dwight and Orlando have an epic comeback against Heat in a game where starters played until the horn.

2. Brook hurt, with an injury that will have him more riskier than Bynum because stress fractures hang around more than any other injury.

3. Bynum blows up, and with Kobe out he’ll continue to put up great numbers in the event they want to trade before Jan 1 for bird rights.

by cosmic convict on Dec 22, 2011 5:50 PM EST reply actions

yep

Bynum had 26 and 11 last night without Kobe

it was fun while it lasted.

by MrDollarBills on Dec 22, 2011 5:50 PM EST up reply actions

Bynum will have a worst injury when he starts playing back to backs.

And Brook may not be out as long as people think.

Robin may have had a worse fracture and it never re-occurred.

by jerry25 on Dec 22, 2011 5:55 PM EST up reply actions

you are assuming

Bynum could play a whole 66 games this year.

so now what to do

chuck hayes is not coming on a one year deal, so lets disregard that notion

there are still some free agent centers out there because almost anyone is better than Petro. Hilton Armstrong, Joel Pryzbilla, and Krylo Fesenko who has been getting looks by several teams including the Heat

as for any centers/bigs on expiring deals that a farmar package could/maybe entice:
(note all centers are better than Petro)

Ryan Hollins
Antawn Jamison
Hamed Haddadi
Ersan Ilyasova
Chris Kaman
Nazr Mohammed
Spencer Hawes
Mareesse Speights
JJ Hickson
Memhet Okur
Paul Millsap
Al Jefferson
Jason Maxiell

I know optimism is going to be a stretch today

but..

Assuming nothing goes wrong with Brook’s rehab, he may be able to play for about a month before the deadline AND, since we will likely be awful, our draft pick becomes VERY valuable.

Just gotta hope Brook has no setbacks.

Do you believe in Draft curses akin to Madden curses?

A friend of mine drafted 3 Nets players last year (Devin Harris, Damion James, etc) and they got injured within 2 days of him drafting the players. I begged him to never draft a Nets player again.

He drafted Brook Lopez last night @ 8pm during his fantasy draft………

Said he spoke with a Dr. who works for the Lakers and he said Lopez will need 3 to 4 months or rehab. That’s the whole friggin season. I hope it’s just him saying that to increase the likelihood that D12 is traded to LA. Either way, we’re screwed.

actually if they used all the cap space before officially signing Stevenson they could offer AK 11 M

Bondy said Nets have 9.5 M cap, which may be enough for AK, with some persuasion from Proky.

by jerry25 on Dec 22, 2011 6:47 PM EST up reply actions

that's if they officially sign Stevenson first (which hasn't happened yet I believe)

by signing AK first we could offer him more since we could use the mle on Stevenson after inking AK

It is not coincidence that they signed Stevenson to a contract starting at the mle figure, I think that’s the plan

by Andres B on Dec 22, 2011 6:53 PM EST up reply actions

that's what I was thinking

is it coincidence that the contract he agreed to equals the mini mle?

if they spent the cap space before they sign DeShawn with the mini MLE thus having more cap space to spend on another free agent

by Andres B on Dec 22, 2011 6:44 PM EST up reply actions

Maybe it can be transferred, before the season starts.

And if the Nets only use one year of the mini-MLE, can they use the 2nd year later on?

Nets would also have a LLE of 1.9 million.

The injury to Brook may force BK to take on extra contracts, which means that Udoke is a goner once Shawne is determined to be Okay.

im hoping the good thing that comes of this

is the nets will NOT trade for howard, due to the magic being uncertain of how lopez has recovered from the injury and the magic will gamble that dwight will stay with the magic instead of leave via free agency and he will come here as a free agent and we can keep our trade assets.

by Andrew Flynn on Dec 22, 2011 6:58 PM EST up reply actions

If Orlando is competitive in the East, they might not trade Howard at the deadline.

They may figure Nets would have to give Lopez to ORL anyway in a S&T. Therefore they will convince themselves to keep Dwight for a Championship run.

by jerry25 on Dec 22, 2011 7:02 PM EST up reply actions

i don't see this as farfetched

whereas before we were rooting for Orlando to lose every game it plays, I think now we should hope for the opposite. if Dwight gets fed up and demands a trade now, he’s probably going to the Lakers. if he makes it to the playoffs with Orlando and gets bounced around by the Hawks or something, I’d say he ends up here.

However, this may sound crazy, but if I was Billy King, my original plan would have been trading Deron Williams, another PF or C, and draft picks for Dwight Howard. Then I would have traded Brook Lopez and picks to the Hornets for Chris Paul. And then would have signed Nene or Chandler.

Orlando's FO isn't very rational

say they’re a 4 seed going into the deadline. with all the craziness that happened last lockout during the playoffs, they might they think that’s good enough to make another run.

by sheepareevil on Dec 22, 2011 7:07 PM EST up reply actions

Injury

If Brook Lopez purely does have a stress fracture, then he should be back in 4 – 8 weeks if everything goes right. He is an elite athlete and good doctors and therapists. He should be back soon. The only thing I worry about is his height, weight, and the fact that basketball requires lots of running, there is a small chance he can re-injure.

In all honesty.....rewind to 12 months ago:

If there was no glimmer of Deron or Dwight in your mind….would you be entirely upset with rebuilding in one of the best drafts in the last decade, and moving into Brooklyn? Obviously we’re going to have cap space to sign a quality starter as well. Is that so bad?

by cosmic convict on Dec 22, 2011 7:17 PM EST up reply actions

it still kind of sucks

but I agree it’s not the end of the world. not “set the franchise back 10 years” bad if it all falls through.

the problem is we’ve been rebuilding since Kidd left and I think we’re all sick of it.

Bold predication.

We sign Fesenko and then trade Farmar + Petro for Kaman. We waive Udoka, and Horner makes roster.
PG: D-Will, Gaines
SG: Stephenson, Morrow, Brooks
SF: James, Shawne
PF: Hump, Shelden, Horner
C: Kaman, Fesenko
I also still believe we get Howard during the trade deadline.

This isnt that bad

With Lopez our #1 pick would have been somewhere between pick 10-20. Now it should be a top 7 pick.

At this point we need to showcase some of our young players to add into any D12 trades. We are better off starting Brooks instead of Morrow since we just lost 20 pts out of our starting lineup. Lets give James and Brooks play big minutes to show what they have. In a season where teams play 4 games in 5 nights, young players like DJ and Swag will have alot of fast break oppurtunities vs older teams.
