Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

Butler Signs With Clippers for $24M; Prince Signs With Pistons for $30M

The Nets have lost another two of their top free agent targets and again the price tag is a lot higher than expected. Caron Butler has reached an agreement with the Clippers for three years and $24 million, tweets David Aldridge. Also, Tayshaun Prince has re-signed with the Pistons for four years and $30 million, Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.

Rich Bucher reports that the Nets bid $30 million over four years but the preferred the Clippers' bid whose annual salaries were higher.

The Clipper agreement means Butler will get more than the $7 million that the Nets were rumored to be offering, but which team officials had hinted yesterday was inaccurate. Butler, 31, is coming off a ruptured patella tendon. Butler was in New Jersey the past two days.

Prince signed with Detroit at what is considered a high price for a 31-year-old who's had difficulties the last two seasons. That leaves, as of 4 p.m., ET Thursday, only of the Nets four top targets, Nene Hilario, still unsigned. Nene is still being pursued by the Nets, Pacers, Warriors, Jazz and Nuggets.

Things aren’t looking so bright, and Nene might get his max in my opinion from the Nets. At least we have a new arena and billionaire owner right? and D-Willz.

We're a bad team, we MUST overpay

for who ever we want. Prince might be gone, Butler is gone, Chandler might be gone, Nene might re-sign with the Nuggets. This is unfolding exactly how I told you guys months back that its not given that a good player will commit here.

I'm sorry but this team is not a 24 win team currently constructed

They’re better than that with Deron Williams and Lopez alone.

$8M for Butler is insane.

So far the score board is in my favor

I’ve heard how pessimistic i was and how I might not even be a Nets fan, but you guys aren’t even coming close to proving me wrong. Talk to me when we sign a good big man or SF. Told you guys that billionaire owner, new arena, Brooklyn, and D-Willz wasn’t worth much.

If i'm OKC

I’m not trading Westbrook for anyone. He’ll never be some sort of pure point guard, but they can win despite that. He’s so young, Tony Parker wasn’t some finished product early on, but he turned out just fine as a scoring guard on a successful team.

I don't get it

What’s with all of you continuing on and on about the “don’t overpay A or B”, realize that we think we’re good because we’re fans. The rest of the country and the NBA do NOT see us that way. If we want people to come here to play, we have to overpay or pay MAX. Do we not have the richest owner in sports? Did he not say he’s willing to shell out the millions to make us a championship contender? What is the point of being under the salary cap for season after season if we don’t SPEND any of it. You all want Dwight howard, well so do I and he’s not coming here if we can’t even keep Deron Williams here.

A new “renegotiation and extension” provision allows an existing contract to be renegotiated so the player is paid a smaller amount over a longer period, but the player’s salary cannot decrease by more than 40 percent. Renegotiations previously could only increase a player’s salary.

We played a rigged game and lost

by MrDollarBills on Dec 8, 2011 3:57 PM EST reply actions  

Relax, Knicks can't take advantage

1) Why would any of their players take a lower annual salary, and lock in at said lower annual salary for more years?

2) I believe the rule is only 3 or 4 total years on an extension. That would mean all 3 of their current guys would be ineligible or at most get one more year.

Bucks have got to let Mbah a Moute go now right?

Super great defender

What makes LRMAM’s defense great isn’t his length, speed, strength or any other physical attribute. It’s his mind. LRMAM reads individuals and teams like a children’s book. He knows what you’re doing and where your teammates are going. He never bites on pump-fakes and makes it difficult for anyone to get the spot they want on the floor. He bites just hard enough on PNRs to give his teammate time to recover, but not let his man get away.

It's not Billy King's fault...

What is happening here, and what people are refusing to realize, is the Nets’ stigma. Just like the Clippers, the Nets are a joke in most players’ eyes due to lack of historical success. Players are illogically hesitant to join the Nets. Players also have notoriously bad basketball IQ. Chandler would find much more success playing with Deron Williams than Carmelo Anthony, yet he chooses the Knicks due to brand name recognition.

I am sure Billy King is doing whatever he can to make something happen. But you cannot expect him to change 35 years of negative perception overnight.

Face it people. We are fans of a secondary franchise. Get used to player not wanting to come here be it NJ or Brooklyn, new arena or not.

Everyone RELAX

So we missed out on Chandler, big deal. He had ONE good playoffs and everyone’s treating him like he’s an NBA All-Star. Butler? Yeah, I’ll pass on him. Prince? Another guy is overrated. So our top guy Nene is still on the board. Plus if Lakers get CP3, a package of Bynum and trash does not beat our package. Everyone relax and remember what Billy said no leaks. Bondy also said Nets have close lid on everything. That means they might be close on a few signings or such but aren’t gonna announce anything till it’s DONE. Not “close”, but done.

Attractive destination

For Butler/Prince? They go where the money goes. Chandler is the only guy, but I guess he felt NYK was more attractive than the Nets. That’s it…really. And if we overpay all these guys for D-Will to stay we’ll be like the Cavs, a team stuck with mediocre talent in cap trouble, if D-Will leaves

The Nets were left for dead near the trade deadline last season after failing to close the deal on Carmelo Anthony. And yet they ended up upstaging the Knicks by coming out of nowhere and landing Deron Williams.

Overpaying

I’m glad we aren’t over paying don’t get me wrong, but whats the point of holding back and maintaining our cap space if we can’t use it. I don’t know if any of you realize this but if we sign nobody this FA class then I highly doubt anyone will sign with us next year either. Unless come next year the first thing we do is sign Deron Williams to a 5 year max deal, I doubt we’d be a place where players want to come play.

however if we go into next year with a solid FA signing (say Nene @ 15 mil for 4 years) along with Deron Williams I think we would be that much better off. Of course that limits our cap space for next year but we need to hit step 1 before we go to step 2 or 3.

Keep cap space, have the best deal for Dwight in March.

I said this before and perhaps i'm blowing this out of proportion...

But it will be interesting to see how good Chandler is when he’s forced to be the Dwight Howard of an awful (and indifferent) defensive team.

I could see Chandler in foul trouble most nights. The sheer volume of penetrators he’s going to see on a nightly basis will be staggering compared to what he saw in Dallas.

A healthy Butler (and seeing as how he was close in June), was easily one of the best SF options out there

Give me Butler at 8 mil a year for the next 4 than Outlaw at 7. I’m just terrified that we don’t drop Outlaw at this point.

Outlaw was replacement-level last year.

He makes anyone look good by comparison.

Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!

by TWilliAM on Dec 8, 2011 5:32 PM EST up reply actions  

Not really

He’s been far less productive the last few years and he was never good defensively.

Below-average offense + Below-average defense + knee injury + age 32 (March 2012) + three year contract = DO NOT WANT

Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!

Never said he was a great option, or even worth the money, just that he was one of the best options out there.

AK47 is much better

And he’s still available. And he’ll probably require less money.

did we offer Bulter more and still lose him to the Clippers!?!?

Caron Butler taking LAC’s 3yrs, $24m over NJ’s 4yr, $30m has to be a franchise landmark of sorts. Clips usually don’t get nod.

Uncle from Dallas called said

that Mavs fans are going crazy on 1310. Saying that fans are pissed saying Cuban has basically given up this year.

Still he says they are reassuring the fans the Cuban must have plan. Saying he has always been about improving.

Saying his quote to me “Deron Williams is the prize” and Dallas did do this screw us

their team just won a championship and Cuban is “destroying” it. Not even trying to compete for a repeat

If the Lakers get CP3 for Pau

they still could offer Bynum and Odom for Dwight, if we are waiting for 2012 and Dwight gets traded to LA we would look like a joke

SPEND NOW

Give Nene an OUTLAW’ING max contract!

by Andres B on Dec 8, 2011 5:33 PM EST reply actions   1 recs

agreed

seems like Stern will let the Lakers get anyone they want. if they get Paul you better believe Howard will want to go there. Our package of Lopez+cap space won’t mean a thing if Howard has his sights set

this.

How many more off seasons of “we’re not focused on this off season” are we going to endure, and yet we fall for it each time. “Oh it’s not about this year, it’s about next year when we can get Lebron/Melo/Dwight/CP3/……”
