Williams Role With Nets Goes Beyond Point Guard, Franchise Player
by Net Income on Dec 31, 2011 10:20 AM EST
in 2011 Free Agency
Email

A lot of pundits think that unless the Nets get Dwight Howard, their chances of keeping Deron Williams are between slim and none, with one "Dwightmare" scenario having them unite not in Brooklyn, but in Dallas. In fact, Mark Cuban seems to be planning on that. But Williams has said nothing to suggest he's gone without Howard. He's only said he wants to win.
Lost in daily "Dwightmare" speculation is Williams' string of positive comments about the city, the organization, the owner, the coach, the GM, matched by Nets' officials quotes about him. In a Nets Magazine program on YES and in articles by Colin Stephenson in The Star-Ledger and Jonathan Abrams in Grantland, there were telling quotes from Williams, Avery Johnson and Billy King about how D-Will is included in virtually every aspect of basketball operations, from practice ideas to free agency ... perhaps more than any other NBA superstar.
From the Star-Ledger:
"He comes to my office here and there before practice," Johnson said. "I might ask him about a practice idea — time frames. That’s what I did when I played for (San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg) Popovich and I’ve seen it happen with other teams."
Williams, who jokes with reporters that he is a "GM in training," said in a recent interview that despite being the star player for the Jazz for five-plus seasons, he never had this kind of influence in the Utah organization.
"It would have been nice," he said. "But you know, it’s (two) different organizations (that have) a different way of doing things. You’ve got to respect that."
From Grantland:
Deron Williams walks in with Bobby Marks, the assistant general manager. Williams, who often eats his lunch in King's office, carries a tray of a sandwich and chips. Williams and King are building a tight bond that will be crucial to retaining him. Williams often says that he will stay and headline the team's move to Brooklyn, as long as the team is capably built. He eschewed signing the contract extension offered to him in recent weeks. The most he could sign for now is an added two years and about $39 million. If he stays and signs with the Nets, his deal could be for five years and around $100 million. Before he signs, the roster needs major reconstructing, and Williams and King often discuss moves during their lunch.
"This is my lunch spot," Williams announces.
"I've got to get him an office, get him a phone, get him an assistant," King says.
"I've been waiting for my sign," Williams says with a laugh.
"That is my work station," Williams motions to the couch where Sussman sits. "That's the most comfortable couch. You should try laying down. I work from a laying-down position because the blood flows to the brain and you can think better. They did a study. You think better laying down. It's true. Try it."
From Nets Magazine:
King on Williams: He and I talk about it together. "Let's not sign guys that are going to cripple us going forward". He's competitive. he's the leader of the team, the franchise guy, but also a guy who doesn't want to take 20, 25 shots, so it's up to me to add some more guys who can take some the load off of him.
It's an era where superstars want influence commensurate with their status as franchise players. Not every organization is willing to go along. Utah wasn't and Orlando isn't. The Nets are. In particular, Williams saw during free agency what goes on during the process, being consulted every step of the way, say league sources.
It's a deliberate strategy, one that Mikhail Prokhorov not only endorses, but pushes. Remember it was Prokhorov who just after hiring King, wrote a letter to the editor of USA Today, congratulating LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for deciding among themselves to create a superteam in Miami. It's also a strategy they hope Williams can use in his recruiting of other players, like Howard.

Nets have certainly given him the keys to the franchise.
Making it as tough as possible for him to walk away.
Even if they don’t get Dwight, it seems pretty clear they want to do whatever possible to make a contender.
it's dwight or bust
unless there’s another top 15 player on the block or about to hit FA, it all comes down to this.

respectfully disagree
i’ve heard this from every knick fan. Knowing that deron has a say in personnel matters and having such a close relationship with Billy king and Avery helps. And now we got a guy like marshon who put together with Deron and Brook could make for a team on the rise.
We've only played a handful of games
lets not think Brooks is the second coming of MJ all of a sudden. He’s played good, but all have been losses. We’ve been down this road before with this team and young players, so I’ll wait until after the season to see how good he really is, if he is even on this team.

i think he's pointing out the whole MJ thing
I think Brooks moves during games…its very decisive…that alone says a lot about a player..he’s going to be a good player.
i only worry about the rookie wall and his confidence dropping from time to time.
it’ll be fun watching him develop though
I'm all for it
but when he has a bad game, and his shots isn’t falling, you will see how this board will go off lmao.

i'm in no way guaranteeing brooks winning multiple MVP's
But we all know this kid is going to be good. all the busts we’ve seen as nets fans never played with such confidence and aura. And think about how fun it could be to watch Brooks together with Dwill and Lopez.. Just sayin
Thats too logical
Avery would have them all on separate units… with
Dwill on the fist unit… as SG
Lopez on the second unit… as C
MarShon on the third unit… as waterboy
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
If Nets don't land DH, they will get someone else.
Maybe Gerald Wallace or trade for Rudy Gay.

What other choice we have?
We have overwhelmed the swamps of jersey.
You have to think twice on pleasing stars! Dwight wanted big baby , Monta Ellis and Arenas 0_o
I for one would like for Deron to stay but if all he can do is put up 20&10(Marbury) then I don’t care for him and he can move on. Dude needs to show me he can help us win games before he gets a hughe contract. Paul did it, Dwight, LeBron , Wade …. Give us any one of those guys and our win/loss improve(obviously replace Deron with them.
Note; notice that Deron shot 45% for Utah but 35% for us, what’s the deal with this teams shooting %?

meadows and swamps are quite different things
Meadows are watery pastures with areas of dry land and areas of flowing water. Swamps are always either draining or filling. The Nets never played in a swamp.

no other scoring options
And lack of familiarity with teammates. You normally would need weeks of practice in order to get to that level of comfort. His % suffers as a result of taking more contested shots. Once he knows teammates tendencies his% will go up.

That’s quite a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario.
Players don’t know jack about what makes a player good.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
This = dream job with more money than anywhere else .... he will bring someone here.
That someone may very well be D12.
He’s not that grumpy after losses = he knows the plan.
if he's not that yafter losses
its probably because he and dwight are in collusion.
He seems positive after the games, during the games though his is visably frustrated. At times I understand when you have buffoons like petro and dj dropping passes and blowing easy looks but still you’ve gotta lead and push on while you may have a few bums you have dudes like Hump/MarShon/Gaines that come to play hard every night.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 10:55 AM EST up reply actions
I don't blame him for being grumpy
Some of the mistakes being made are just ridiculous – i.e. Petro almost every game.
Deron has never not been in the playoffs, correct? So he wants to win, I understand that.
However, if he expects to win, he needs to play like the Deron Williams we saw in the 2nd half last night, not the first three games.
Last season he wasn't in the playoffs
And I disagree with the last thing you said. I thought Deron played very well against the Wizards.

What will stop?
His influence? That will not change.
We shall see
I think this pampering is a desperate GM trying hard to keep a super star on the team. Sure he will always go to Deron for advice and input on ideas but i doubt it will continue to be as indepth as it is now.
I dont think so.
BK thinks of him as a leader. He wants to get players deron is comfortable with. I think he will be VERY involved with BK.

This is true
But there isn’t any talent around him other than Brooks. Everyone else = Role Players. Even Hump. Don’t get me wrong, Humphries is a double double machine and he’s great for us, but he lacks skill on the offensive end. He makes stupid fouls giving up too many 3 point plays.
We need to put talent around Dwill. Not necessarilly Dwight either. We have a bunch of scrubs around Deron that just aren’t good enough to get the job done. Deron needs players that can hit open shots, drive to the hole, be in the right spots, not pass the ball out of bounds to Petro on the bench, etc… etc… etc…
It will be an interesting desicion next offseason with what he does.
I have to disagree with you
Humphs not a stud defender but he’s good , we need a post defender that make guys scared to hit the paint!
My point though, players are letting their man drive on them leaving Humph to make the stop. Humph is not a great help defender, we are missing one or these guys have to be taught better team defense.
Are we a scoring team? A defensive team ? What do we do well? Let’s do it!
by Zartan on Dec 31, 2011 11:33 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Hump is in top ten
in rebounds, offensive rebounds and shooting percentage. and he is 26.
He averaged 14 and 14 after D-Will trade, averaging 13 and 11 this season. That should be the standard. No reason it shouldnt be.

I feel people, even some nets fans dont want to accept or admit that hump is a quality starting PF I this league
And would be on many teams.

"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Whats funny to me is that Noah gets all this respect for being a “garbage man” type of hustle player. Hump does the same thing and he’s a “role player” at best.
Noah is on the Bulls
and was a well known player coming out of college.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 12:25 PM EST up reply actions
Hump was reasonable well known
comming out of college got drafted the tail end of the lottery? But yeah Noah has played for a playoff team for the last 3 years and the team with the most wins last year. He’s also a much better help defender then the Hump and probably post/ one on one defender too.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Noah didn't wasn't getting close to this kind of respect
Before Rose arrived and the team was in the lottery. He too was role player and only an ok player. Now he’s considered one of the best post defenders in the nba, a great starter, should be given all star love. Best trade piece available for Howard or Melo etc. etc. Its all about winning.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King

If Lopez was on a winning team, his value would be through the roof. Same with Hump. It’s all perception
by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 1:28 PM EST up reply actions
Noah only played one year without Rose and they finished tenth in the lottery originally
and he was still the third productive player behind gordon and deng. he was instantly their best big man over Tyrus, Gooden, and Wallace

I know the point is its all perception.
Noah was viewed as roleplayer untill the bulls started winning. Besides he only put 6 point and 5 and 1/2 boards his rookie season in 20 minutes a game. He was the best big man on a team that had struggled for the last ten years. No one touted Noah untill the team made the playoffs and took boston to seven games. I’m not saying he’s not a good player I’m saying how its all about winning for the image. Although Noah is overrated by some people and underrated by other in my opinion.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
lets not forget the bulls had three coaches that year
and Neither Skiles nor VDN or renowned coaches especially not for their offensive mindsets

Not afraid to get physical, like when he shut down Griffen last year twice. But his rotation and help defense often leave a lot to be deisred.

It is a dangerous line to tread
It the long run it might help them resign D-Will, it even might help them sign or trade for Dwight, but what happens when things break down?
How does it effect the team when a player has to look at D-Will and know that he is not wanted or that he will be traded because a player has recommended it. It doesn’t seem like the right way to run a franchise, but it may be necessary. As long as King and Marks are making the final decisions.
You make a great point
But i think it’s important not only to keep Deron a Net but to rebuild the team. We have a horrible team! lol Use Deron’s abilities, likeness, contacts, influence to improve the team. I don’t think 5 years from now he will have this much say in what goes on with the franchise.
we're not far off
D-Will
Brooks
Lottery Pick
Hump
Lopez
that’s a pretty good team. We could possibly get a veteran SF to start, and bring in the lottery pick off the bench
JJ for 3!
I think we are better than we play
Compare our team to most 7-8th seed teams and I think you may like our players more.
It’s coming down to poor coaching again and it’s sad because I was a big Avery advocate.

great point
and in some ways that may already have a negative impact on the team

by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 10:49 AM EST up reply actions
doesn't seem like D-Will wants to be liked which is good
I think from a chemistry standpoint that is why Howard and D-Will will be good together. D-Will is the team leader, while Howard is the marketing leader.
It's a new world
Stars want to win, want to play in a big market AND want to influence in the way the team is built.
It started with KG, Ray Allen and Pierce, continued through James, Wade and Bosh and Stoudemire and Anthony.

I think by the end of that meal they both knew each others plans and are on the same page. I also strongly believe BK has a plan which Deron knows and so does D12. Just my gut.

I am tired of hearing that you do anything for Dwight
it’s not going to be worth it, IF we can keep D-Will here without him.
We’re talking about 4 first rounders (so we can’t trade a 1st rd pick for the next 7 or so years- remember when we laughed at the Knicks for that?), a future All-Star in Brook Lopez, a ROY candidate, and taking on 2 awful contracts, including probably the worst remaining one in the league.
Williams and Dwight will not get us to the Finals. We’ll end up where the Magic do, and kick ourselves for years,

I at least hope
that IF Marshon Brooks keeps looking like a future HOF member through March, we don’t send him and Lopez. Just 1. Billy King has to stop bidding against his imaginary friend.
JJ for 3!
The ORL owner doesn't want draft picks. He wants to win NOW.
Nets have to use those picks to get a 3 or 4 team trade going.
If BK fails, he can still proceed with part of the trade, to make the Nets better.
there's no way the Nets facilitate Howard to another team
they prob should be willing to, but they won’t
JJ for 3!
I am not suggesting that.
But if DH goes to say the Lakers, and agrees to exercise his option year, BK will already have other options at the trade deadline.
Since when does anyone care what the magic want?
They are losing their franchise player, potentially for nothing if they don’t snap out of this over-privileged, spoiled child mentality.
If within reach, what team wouldn’t want to win now? It’s such a common goal throughout all sports. The teams that are not in “win now” mode are there because they have no choice. If they want to win now, what exactly were they trying to do when they had an all-world center for the last seven seasons? Even if we don’t get Dwight, I hope he leaves in FA, because Orlando refuses to learn from the past.
Their owner is 85.
He literally can’t wait to rebuild.
He’d rather go to his grave without seeing his team miss the playoffs.
If not for their owner, DH might have already been on the Nets (as Otis apparently approved of the trade a few weeks ago).
I don't care about this old man's wishes
The NBA is a business. Teams’ FOs aren’t going to just cater to the Orlando owner because he’s got less time left then their owner.
I hope that there is more than just a Plan B
if Dwight does not become a Net. Deron needs to stay, Dwight or no Dwight.
I think it's fine.
It would be a very smart move by this FO
To come out an say MarShon is off the table! If nothing else, it firmly puts the ball in our court for future negotiations. It also let’s Orlando know that we are interested in doing them the favor of actually trading for Dwight, versus simply swiping him up in free agency
but billy king gave them a deadline of 2 weeks ago already.
he says something and then caves. Didn’t we go back to the bargaining table after saying we were pulling out of Melo talks?
JJ for 3!
I expect the same situation this season with Dwight
It wouldn’t hurt to help raise the value of our tradable assets. Lopez’s health is suddenly a question mark.
he did?

I think Brooks injury was a blessing in disguise
Don’t get me wrong, I want the big man to be back and healthy and playing.
But if he wasn’t injured I don’t think Marshon would’ve gotten as many touches as he does now, which gives us a better gauge of what the rook can do.
I think by giving the rook more minutes and touches now, it will boost his confidence and play even better when our big man comes back.

Depends on if Brook comes back 100%

Lets continue to root against Dallas, even more so than the Lakers.
If fact, it may be better for the Lakers to do well, as long as Bynum isn’t a big part of the Lakers success.
Best Option
Howard waits until free agency and signs with us as a free agent.
Howard receives a donation from a random Russian that says “thanks for waiting”
I don't think it has been mentioned yet, but with Deron being essentially a Nets Asst. GM ...
he must now know more than other stars about the new CBA and the details of the Cap situations around the league.
This means that when DWill sits down with Howard, he can prove to DH that the Nets are his best option, and that all he has to do is refuse to agree to an extension with any other team.
Hopefully its only a matter of time
before dwight says that.

because id prefer that over him being traded to the lakers, im more confident he would resign with LA over say the bobcats (just an example of a team that he would not likely resign with) because it keeps him in place until he hits free agency rather then eliminates free agency by going to the lakers.

I don't think its Dwight or bust for Deron.
Deron won’t be quick to leave the Nets like that. What star wouldn’t like to have a lot of input on the players that come and go and also adding plays to the book? Lets just say we don’t get D12 (99.9% sure we are). I can see Deron talking to other big name players and selling the whole BK idea. It would be easy to pull away a player like Rudy Gay away next season if they lose in the early rounds of the playoffs this year. They will blame him for lack of chemistry. They wouldn’t mind getting rid of his contract. Also we can throw money @ K-Love and keep Hump as a back up. With a healthy Lopez this team can be a 3-5 team in the East. Deron just wants to play in the post season every year. He knows a ring is not always guaranteed. Just feels good to have a chance to play for one. Sure you can say that he can go back home to Dallas. Seriously who really likes to be around family like that when your rich? So many distractions and many hands out. Thats what the summer is for. Plus that will be Dirks team not his. His opinions comes last in Dallas.
you make a ton of assumptions
You don’t know what Deron has in mind, and it may not be so easy to get Rudy Gay from Memphis. They are a legit threat in the west imo

A Dangerous Path
Does anyone believe it is not healthy to have a player “literally in bed with management.”
The Nets are a marginal team. Winning teams need good managers and good players. How difficult will it be for Deron Williams to maintain his perpective as a player while he has head his mind muddied with management and personnel issues? Will he be able to concentrate on his role as a play maker if he’s more concerned with being a deal maker?
Play or manage………. but do not do both at 50 % .
The Nets have to decide who is going to run the show and play the game or the team will remain half way competent.
Derrick Rose may have input and Blake Griffin might make suggestions but neither has a reputation for managing their teams. Those guys are on the court making plays and running for their lives. Their teams rally for them and they work together.
Deron………take a hint and play at 100%. Fans will love you for that!

losing is a team fault
a players individual talent (especially in his first year) cannot be correlated to team wins—especially in the negative sense. However, if you have a rookie like Tim Duncan who obviously influence the teams wins positively you can assume that you have a very very very special rookie. You cant really deduct individual player talent from a team’s losses. Right?
meaning, you cant say
Chris Webber is a bum cause he was on a terrible team starting out. Or that Jason Kidd was one for being on a terrible team in Dallas his rookie year. etc…

yea def
and the only way you trade the greatest center of all time (arguably) is if your other, younger, MJ-esgue superstar is in the drivers seat. Lakers made the decision to make the Lakers’ Kobe’s team. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t consult Kobe on the Odom, Butler trade… Anyway, today its totally different for Kobe and Lakers, as it should be. Would be kinda weird if Kobe ends up disliking the direction of the Lakers so much he demands a trade.. wouldn;t even know if thats possible with his salary.. but its not totally out of the realm of possibilities—that Kobe just might want to finish his career with one last shot to get another championship. And if the Lakers cant do it for him, he could bounce.
I've said it before
Kobe would retire rather than play for a mediocre Lakers team. I doubt he pushes for a trade, and if he does, I lose all respect for him. He started with them, and it should end with them. He’s had a great career, no reason for him to force his way out.

There is no way he goes to the Clippers lol
If he does, holy hell is his rep going down the drain. I can see people even calling him great if he helps the Clippers win a championship because he brought LA teams both Championships lol.

I agree he will have a good year this year
I agree the Lakers will be lucky to have a top seed. I think they barely make the playoffs. No point guard in a condensed schedule and no stretch four defender/rebounder/playmaker in Odom is a big blow.
I don;t think that his rep would be damaged if he went to the Clippers. I think it all depends on PR. And if the Lakers are failing miserably, fans would be sympathetic to his venture to… the Staples center lol. Seriously, most LA fans just want to watch the winning team. With Lob city happening today, the shift is already occurring. I think it would be classy if Kobe tries to give LA another championship opposed to going elsewhere…
Alas, that means nothing if that team cant take a 28mil contract.. Not saying its probable, I def know that his contract is a huge issue; just saying that I can see him wanting to get another championship elsewhere if the Lakers crash and burn this season.

He probably didn’t have a say in the Odom move, because management knew he would be opposed to it, so why bother ya know.
nah, Kobe was pissed
I think that management is just changing direction on how things are run. They know Kobe isn’t getting any younger and need to make decisions for the future as well as hope to make a run in the playoffs this year. Its a tightrope walk they are making, unless they have something up their sleeves (i.e. a DH trade etc.).
I doubt if Kobe could have swayed Odom
Odom felt disrespected by him being included in a fail trade. Odom Ego got the best of him as well, and Kobe could have easily convinced him to stay if he wanted to, but its really Odom who wanted out.

They didn't want him for the money.
Phoenix offered him big money and only a few hours to decide. Nash was 30 with back problems so it was possibly his last contract he had to take it. Gave Cuban a chance to match but he wasn’t interest in givng Nash that money. Nash said recently Cuban thought he was going to break down from injury and that was a deciding factor.

Cuban is a genius, lol. During Nash’s first year in PHX they elminated the Mavs in the playoffs and Nash had a 48 point game in Dallas in the game that clinched PHX’s final victory in that series.
05?
In the second round or was it 04 still one of my favourite series ever. Up there with Indy Nets or VC vs Iverson in 01.

Short term?
Nash is still playing well at age 37. He brought a title because he realised after losing Nash the value of a great playmaker. I’ll give him credit for taking the risk on Kidd though. And also finaly put a good post defender beside Dirk which wasn’t exaclty rocket science even though Cuban spent years stacking up on wings and chasing an big name that was out there or on the trading blocks.

problem was the Mavs lacked so much girth in the middle when the game slowed down in the playoffs they often got wrecked by the Spurs, Lakers, or T’Wolves

it took Cuban 6 years after that move
Nash also collected Two MVP’s in that stretch and it also lead to the firing of Don Nelson who went on to embarrass the Mavs in 07 after Shaq and Zo embarrassed the Dampier, the guy they paid over Nash, the year before
Also lets not forget the bad luck Phoenix had in the playoffs
2006- Amare microfracture
2007- Horry decks Nash leading to those bogus suspensions
2009 – Artest explodes(for his standards) in Game 6 and Game 7 of the WCF
compounded by the fact Robert Sarver is likely the most frugal, frequently cost-cutting GM in the league. Put Dirk on Phoenix’s teams with Nash and swap Cuban with Sarver and they would have won way earlier than 2011

they played basically the same system in Dallas under Nellie

you are 40% correct
but still undervaluing Nash. I agree he was somewhat over hyped his two MVP seasons, but he is a great player. If anything, Nash made Diantoni’s system work. Diantoni has really had any success anywhere else. NYKs? Not really, not yet…
Disagree, anyone decent PG can thrive in a Dantoni system
Felton did last year, and was nice trade bait. And Suns was always a playoff team and were a high scoring team, but LACKED defense, which is one reason why there stats were inflated. Take this for example, Nash averaged the same amount of assist when Amare was there and they made a playoff run, and last season when he wasn’t and they became a lottery team. I’ve always viewed Nash as an overrated player with two MVP’s, and probably the only person to win a MVP without ever going to the NBA Finals.

J Kidd may be the best PG in the history of the nba.
Or if he’d worked on his jump shot when he was younger he would be for sure imo. There was nothing else that guy couldn’t do.

Its hard to say.
Johnson is a very strange PG, I’m not sure how well he’d defender some of the quicker points in today’s nba. Magic is definately the better player if Kidd learned to shoot when he was younger I think he could have been the better. point.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
well to be objective
he couldn’t really create his OWN shot in a half court set.. not consistently at least. Which is amazing he is considered one of the best without this skill—shows how amazingly talented he was in every other area (well, and besides shooting, like you mentioned). But D, handle, awareness, speed, size, passing, rebounding etc.. Outstanding.
Yeah creating his shot was an issue.
Which goes hand in hand with his woeful shooting. You can’t have a Pull up jumper or a mid range J or floater etc if your not a good shooter. He could drive hard to the rim and dish,get the lay up or draw a foul. Great driver but not that creative offensively for himself. If he shot the ball better that would have helped a lot.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
And of course as mention bellow Kidd could post up
smaller guards would’ve been better again with a better J.

True though he did win one in the end.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
top 5 imo
at least from players I’ve seen.
Magic, Isiah and Stockton should defintely be ranked higher than JKidd in my book. Nash is arguable.
He wasn't a shooter, but he could score in a way PG's can't
he was great on the fastbreak, and was the rare type of PG that could post up and score. He was pretty fast as well, for a muscular guy, and his rebounding was unheard of for his size. Magic was a good PG, but the guy was freaking 6’8 playing PG back then when there weren’t as many big players as there are today lol. He even played C when Kareem was out. Kidd is Top 5 for sure, but I’m not ranking where.

it was ridiculous for Magic to just be plugged in basically anywhere and be productive. He took understanding the fundamentals and just being aware to heightened levels and to be able to engineer the Showtime movement

But the dude could run an offense before he got there. We could go back and forth with this. I’d say Nash made Antoni see his lack of sucess so far with the knicks. And you could just point out how stacked with talent PHX were which is true with a young amare, prime marion, joe johnson and a ton of other talented players. At the end I still won’t think Nash is overrated but he definately plays in the right system. There are legit point on both sides.

Dwill and Assassin Mentality
MJ, Kobe, Wade, and JKidd in terms of will. These are guys that would take on the entire opposing team all game if they had to. Then there is the next tier of supremely talented players who generate that in moments but ultimately need to be ‘in it’. Deron seems to be in this latter group. I think Marshon gave him a reason to elevate his game. Brook would do the same.

the idea is mainly that JKidd's will was the difference maker
and the question is whether DWill has that same will. We know what effect that can have to lift his teammates.
I get that its only 4 games, the team has new parts, few practices, and Deron’s shot was off. Still, I feel like Deron had higher hopes for better surrounding pieces to start the season and he has been deflated with the teams results, particularly in the home opener. Lastly, I’m saying that Marshon’s spark may have lit his fire too.
'Will' can only go so far
JKidd has not had the misfortune with playing with the level of our team of mostly scrubs.
Even Kobe was whining for more when he already had Odom and Bynum. Wade has had to recruit LBJ and Bosh because he hasn’t won anything without Shaq. MJ had to wait several years too until he had a good supporting cast around him. The list goes on.
I think that the way Brooks played really D-Will up he was outplayedby a rookie.
D-will has been trying his best though, it’s not like he needs Brooks to try, but it gave him an extra push…after all D-Will is a competitor

without him he avaraged 20, so it’s only logical to think that number will go up, not to mention that Lopez is a beast on offence.

Dude, I’m good if the kid keeps his average between 13-16 pts to be honest.

Surprised that folks havent
Realized a possible reason for DWills sub all-star/erratic play so far.
We all know the rest of current lineup is bottom tier. It’s easy to for other teams to key on DWill and disrupt him.
Also it’s especially tough for a true PG to look good with sub standard players.
To judge the team as it is right now is to completely miss the script

by Gminski on Dec 31, 2011 12:39 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Big problem is this team has not really played together...
Deron has only played 20 games with the Nets and with all the new faces added recently… this team probably has the least experience playing as a unit as any team in the NBA…
Also have to remember Morrow and James missed many games last year.
With so many games and less chance for practices it might take sometime until everybody gets used to their roles and playing together.
Agreed
That’s why im trying not to hold my breath, but i think that D-Will will have an MVP type year
Also I think that he’ll be a better player than he ever was by the end of the season

Brook's injury might actually be a good thing.
I’m not really convinced the MarShon would get much playing time if we weren’t as hard up for scoring as we are right now. Brook’s injury actually gives the Nets a chance to evaluate what all their players are really capable of.
If he comes back and looks good, and MarShon continues his progression, Magic might be salivating for our package at the deadline.
And then...
We take them out while having the Upper Hand.
by Ccrules2791 on Dec 31, 2011 12:46 PM EST up reply actions
You might be right...
Marshon is getting an opportunity to play because the Nets lack offense…
If Brook Lopez comes back 100% maybe the injury might of turned out to be not so bad after all.
Brook's injury is still a bad bad thing
Marshon has shone as an offensive spark off the bench, so there would’ve really been no conflict with Lopez because by that time our starting center would be sitting.
it is horrible from any vantage point

Farmar for Nocioni
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7ecnm37
Philly saves 2.6M this year and they haven’t played him at all. I know they have Williams and Holiday, but Williams is more of a combo guard.
i'm fine with that if only because Nocioni is an expiring contract
if he’s usable too, then great
was playing around with the TM and thought of this also haha
it makes sense for both sides, Philly barely even plays him. But is he expiring, or does he have a TO/PO for the 12-13 season?

I feel D- Will will pick up the pace real soon, and get on track, and also, even though i like Ammo, I’d rather see him moved, rather than Marshine, Ammo is a huge liability on defense, and way too up and down on offense, so along with James, Petro, Farmar, he’s also one i don’t mind seeing moved, So Marshon can flourish into a starter, and also these Knick fans on this board who keep Net Hatin, need to be " Poof Pow" be Gone, For 2012!!

He is one of the reasons why we have been behind in all these games.
If he, Morrow, and ShaWill can play like they did in the second half then maybe we can win some games. Drive and Kick to Morrow and ShaWill is key. All this forced shots nonsense needs to stop.
AVERY IS GETTING CLOSE TO THE FIRE AVERY POSTS. Wake up Avery START BROOKS. SMFH!!!!!!!!!
So many reasons.
Mainly because you bball IQ is in the Yi range. Honestly if I was as tall and athletic as Petro I’d be a better player based on smart alone.

Don't know top 10 but ..
he flashed some terrific moves and his shots fell in the second half.
Might just be about spacing, which comes from people making shots and knowing the plays.
He's more like Jason Kidd...
Not a superstar in the traditional sense but an excellent player to have especially at the PG position.
Kidd's his mentor who knew?
"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
I just posted this
If Dwill wises up, he will see the potential of having a line up of
Dwill, Brooks, Defensive SF/Top Pick SF, Lopez, Howard.
All Dwill has to do is say
1) BKing I really like MarShon and coming from Utah that let Matthews, Brewer and korver go. I dont want you to trade him
2) I will tell Dwight I am staying here and ask him to sign in the offseason.
3) Hey Dwight I know you are going to lose money but look at the endorsements I have here now your agent could probably get more $$$$ for you. Sorry about the $25+ mil.
thats just the "guaranteed" money he will lose
not the potential money he will lose since he will likely never get a career ending injury. I think the bigger money factor is moving from Florida to NY. Florida has no income tax. Thats huge for a player making 20 millions of dollars a year.
but it evens out with endorsements
the ideal situation financially would be to play in a non-tax state AND in a big market… dare i say, Dallas Texas….
WHAT?? no way really?
They aren’t residents of the other states though… they don’t pay individual taxes to each state they play in? Is this for real?
simply untrue

That’s a lot of money to lose.
Could Dwight make up that lost money?

He has the tools to be the total package at SG.
after four games, I'm not worried about anything
he was the 25th pick in the draft.

—Los Angeles Lakers receive from New Jersey: Joe Smith, two second round picks: the Warriors second rounder in 2011 (from Marcus Williams trade) which became Darius Morris and the Bulls second rounder in 2012 (from the Chris Douglas Roberts trade).
—Rockets receive from New Jersey: Terrence Williams.
the Draft Night trade was:
—Celtics receive from New Jersey the draft rights to JaJuan Johnson and the Nets second-round pick in 2014.
—Nets receive from Boston the draft rights to MarShon Brooks.

At the rate he's playing
only if Dwight says he won’t sign an extension w/ anyone but Nets and is willing to play the season out with Orlando can we keep him.
Or maybe Otis is stupid enough to see him as a “rebuilding” piece and would rather have proven talent.
That is actually my guess: I think ORL willl STILL pass over MarSwag cause he doesn't have name draw...

If the Nets could get
Deron, MarShon, and Dwight on the same roster, I would lose it.
Magic can have anyone and anything else we have to offer.
I might be a little too high on Swag atm, but it’s not just his scoring ability. It’s his poise, and it seems that he just has the superior mentality that makes players into stars. He seems to be pretty smart, too, and a hard worker, and takes responsibility for himself. He just seems to have all of the telltale signs of a star in the making.
You're not too high on Marshon
The kid is going to be something special. He is our third super star. I have 100% confidence that Brooks is going to be a star in the NBA. It will take this season’s growing pains but i would put money on him being a star in the near future. Imagine if this kid was able to practice and correct some of his mistakes? lol
by the time the deadline comes Orlando fans are going to be licking their chops to get this guy.
he will put fans in the stance with his exiting play
There is no way i would approve
of giving Brook and Marshon for Dwight.
Just wait it out and he will most likely come here in the summer.
Brook-Brooks-Brooklyn
LET'S DO THIS!
It all depends on the Lakers.
If they don’t try to acquire Dwight and are satisfied with Pau and Bynum, there is no reason for the Nets to trade for him. The only benefit of a trade is keeping him away from the Lakers.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
I gotta think that Dwight will make his decision based on how famous he can get
on the Lakers, he will be the next player to root for. An All-star, but still a member of the team.
In Brooklyn, he will be the team. He will be the face. He will have started an era in Brooklyn. Personally, if I were Dwight, there is no way i could walk away from that opportunity. Not just because i am a Nets fan.
Brook-Brooks-Brooklyn
LET'S DO THIS!
damion james for kenneth faried
then have at the 2 morrow/brooks, at the 3 shawne williams/stevenson, at the 4 humphries/ faried, and at the 5 okur/sheldan williams
Sure
But what is the point to your post? Where is the logic? I’m getting so tired of these stupid trade ideas. Post about trades that are actually being discussed or have at least a little life to it. There are no rumours of a trade for Faried.

Bynum is such a knucklehead
http://eye-on-basketball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/34107455
This is getting ridicuous. TMZ reports that Andrew Bynum was pulled over in early December for “crossing a divider and driving on the wrong side of the road” while trying to pass a car.
Oh, good grief. This happened, in TMZ’s words, “JUST DAYS BEFORE” Bynum was pulled over and ticketed for having illegally tinted tail lights and no license plate… wait for it, and then after that pulled over going over 80 MPH in his Porsche. This is after double-parking in a handicapped spot last July, and Bynum was ticketed for going 110 MPH in November of 2010.
So to review.
Two speeding tickets.
Parked in a handicapped spot.
Illegally tinted tail lights.
No license plate.
Drove on the wrong side of the road.
Mentally checked out on Lakers
Can you blame him? Pau’s skill makes him look like Kwame, they have the worst PG in the league, they dumped Odom to sign Troy Murphy, Jason Kapono, Josh McRoberts, and Whitey McWhitewhite, and Kobe has gotta be the worst teammate what with all the chucking and parading his “will to win” in everyone’s face. Metta World Peace is a bright spot on that team. And the cheerleaders.

Yea, he looked like Kwame today as well

Take out injuries if you want.
Lopez’s rebounding numbers still beat Bynum’s/ Lopez’s scores more. Lopez can shoot his FT, Lopez is not immature like Bynum. Why would you ever choose Bynum over Lopez?
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
not sure where you see this, raw stats yes
but bynums per 36 is way better and he doesnt play close to 36 mpg.
also in the three years Lopez played his rebound rate only graded out better than bynum(by the slimmest of margins) his rookie year. Lopez has been trending downward while Bynum seems poised to take on the larger load with Odom gone
even Hollingers Rebound rate shows that Bynum is the more significant rebounder. and for everyone who says Hump stole his rebounds, its not like Pau and Odom sat around and averaged 4 rebounds apiece next to Bynum

okay he got him but what has all that scoring got lopez
and that was because the game was finally close. the other 3 times they got blown out. not blaming that on Lopez but you have to put in context
we’ve seen scoring big men that come off as passive put up points and go nowhere(Bargnani, Lopez, Gasol in Memphis, Bosh in Toronto) and big men who anchor the middle with limited offensive skills help carry trash further than they should have(Chandler, Howard, Bogut) Perkins and Bynum were fortunate to play on quality teams and helped anchor them to the trophy

When Brook Lopez is on
he is on as well, just like any other player.
Brook Lopez is eons ahead of Bynum in terms of offensive polish. Defensively he’s a step behind and a step behind in rebounding, but all Bynum has proven is that he can be a good 5th option.
Its because Lopez is more of a PF than a C
His game is more similar to PF than a C as well.

He will be a free agent so he should be able to decide where he wants to go. He doesnt have to cave into 2nd options, like the lakers.
Maybe he don't like Kobe ?
Maybe Howard likes Deron and likes the whole Brooklyn Nets scenario more…

there are just so many things why this whole bynum-lopez debate just sucks so hard
rebounding: brook lost 25 punds in the last offseason so its no wonder his rebound rate went down! brook had kris humphries as a reboundbeast on his side. in the two preseason games brook had 10 rebounds in 27.5 minutes so he’s also capable of rebounding.
offensively: c’mon!(brook first option, bynum 3 or 4th! that draws the attention away from bynum and makes it easier to score)

When push comes to shove the Mavs will find someone..
I mean that young French kid they got looks solid but what if they offer him as an incentive to taker on Marion? I dont think it will take that much but lets pretend the Mavs dgaf and wold trade assets to get rid of Marion who is NOT a scrub like Petro.. plenty of teams would jump at the chance.
Dallas is sitting very pretty right now. Our only hope is that Lopez comes back strong from his injury and hits the ground running (doubtful) and that Bynum slows down cuz he is beasting in LA.
Right now i see it as:
LA: 50% chance of getting Dwight at the deadline
NJ: 25% chance of getting Dwight at the deadline
DAL: 40% of signing Dwight AND Deron in free agency
If ORL keeps Dwight in hopes of convincing him to stay i say:
DAL: 75% chance of signing Deron and Dwight
NJ: 25% chance of signing Deron and Dwight
BTW these percentages are mad random i know but im just going with my gut xD

answer me this:
Who were his coaches while he was here?
What leaders did we have on the court for him?
Who helped his transition and made it easier for him with his language barrier?
What player in the level of Deron did we have to help him be better?
What type of role was he given on the team and was it to his strength?
Would he be beter than our current back up bigs?
How would he play with a guy like Deron and an actual coach (i didnt say great coach)?
Would he attract Dwight who has a following in China and would he compliment Dwight on the court?
Yi is a heavily misunderstood player and surprisingly still a relative unknown in this league. We dont know what he can do yet cuz he has been a part of nothing but losing teams.
Lets see what he can do with the Mavs. I wouldnt be shocked if he plays well.
