PrintThe Nets next face the Bucks, one of the four teams in front of them in their elusive playoff hunt. The two are separated by three and a half games, three in the loss column. At the beginning of the season, the Bucks were seen as a playoff team, even a team that could advance. Now, after another run of injuries and some underwhelming play, their only hope for redemption is a late playoff push. Problem is that they have lost three straight, six of their last ten and looked miserable offensively.
Milwaukee, however, has won seven consecutive games against New Jersey and is seeking to sweep the season series for the second year in a row. The Bucks won, 115-92, in Newark on Jan. 8 and posted a 91-81 victory on Jan. 29 at the Bradley Center. Drew Gooden (left foot plantar fasciitis) and Ersan Ilyasova (concussion) are out. Chris Douglas-Roberts (right ankle) is day-to-day. Of course, they still have Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut.
For the Nets, the game can be a statement, showing that after a reverse they can rebound. Same goes for Deron Williams who had his worst game as a Net vs. the Bulls, obviously still bothered by his sore right wrist.

it smells like outlaw
Knicks 2, Nets 0. There's not much Prokhorov can do about it now. Maybe put up another billboard ~Mitch Lawrence
Yeah, about that... Don't ever doubt The Prokhorov.
coud've used
his points last night
If I can just hide, the sinner inside, and keep him denied.
How sweet life would be, if I could be free, from the sinner in me.
He is??????
He is scoring 8.6 PPG in March (6 games), on .386 shooting in 26 minutes per game. That’s TERRIBLE. Not “decent”
The only thing you can say for Outlaw is that he is playing somewhat better than his absolutely horrific February, when he scored 7.3 PPG (11 games), on .348 shooting in 24 minutes per game.

but the alternative
is playing Brandan Wright and his career .547 shooting %. Clearly that is just not acceptable to our braintrust.
by calling all toasters on Mar 18, 2011 1:08 PM EDT up reply actions
That should be "braintrust"
because we all know that Avery is determined for some reason to keep playing players who have repeatedly shown they don’t deserve playing time.
I have no idea how they can possibly try to justify only playing Wright 7 minutes so far.
but if bogut is. we wont
if you thought noah and asik punked lopez. bogut will ike and lopez will be tina tonight

This is the test.
It would have been great to beat the Bulls, but the real test is whether this team can bounce back after a tough loss and beat a team they are supposed to beat.
they were running
incredibly hard against the Bulls. I hope they have enough left.

Gotta win this game
The Bucks are not a good team. Last year they had a spark to them, this year their lifeless and have no identity. Jennings hasn’t improved, Bogut’s regressed due to injuries, and they’ve been riddled with injuries and selfish players. Playoffs aren’t realistic but we need to separate ourselves from these type of teams.
Gotta admit, I’m kinda worried about our offense going into this. Bucks play the same type of scrappy defense/slow pace that the Bulls play. We might get lulled into playing that sort of ugly game.
Must Win Game.
Yeah, I said it. I was at the game yesterday. It wasn’t for lack of effort that we lost to Chicago. Our D was solid. Unfortunately we couldn’t hit the side of a barn with our shots if our lives depended on it. Usually if you hold a team to 80 something points your going to win the game. Tonight’s game vs Milwaukee will give us an idea of how far we’ve improved, especially with it being a road game where the Nets have a record that rivals my high school freshman team. Yeah, we were bad. Our point guards could barely get the ball past half court without turning it over smh.

Notables from last night's game vs. Chi
1. I HATE FRONTRUNNERS. People give it up MJ is long gone. DRose is a great player no doubt, but where were you a few years back. I didn’t see people reppin Hinrich and Chris Duhon jerseys.
2. Kyle Korver. The new Danny Ferry?
3. Big Fat Kid in the pink shirt was in the building. Cameras during timeouts kept panning to him. Crowd was fired up everytime he was on the screen. Are the Nets paying him now?
by Brendan Byrne on Mar 18, 2011 6:50 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
How is it frontrunning?
That’s like yelling at all thousands of Nets fans that are now coming to the game because we got Deron Williams.
Rose is an MVP player. That makes Bulls fans (who normally would’ve stayed home at their apartment in NYC than see Hinrich & Duhon) come out and pay money to watch a star.
Star driven league in every way imaginable.

I admire the Bulls
It took them awhile to rebuild but they did it and have constructed a solid team around their young superstar PG
We have two of the top 3 players at their respective positions. There’s no need to be jealous. I’m eager to get this roster properly assembled so that we can clash with them on their level.
It was good experience to lose to them, and the fact that we fought hard against them speaks volumes. They play excellent defense. What they showed me defensively is championship caliber intensity on the end where it counts the most. This is why I don’t really care for signing guys like David West.
Instead of worrying about the Knicks, who are a joke, and the Heat, who god knows if they’ll be able to last 3 years without killing one another, lets look at the Bulls, who IMO will be the team to beat over the next few years because of how elite Rose is, how well built their roster is(Noah/Boozer/Deng is a solid frontline), and how well coached they are.

What the Bulls and Thunder have in common is
They were able to take advantage of big time pieces like Rose and Noah or Durant and Westbrook being on rookie contracts to be able to fit more expensive pieces around them while they’re still cheap. Too bad for us we’re getting towards the end of Brook’s rookie contract
this is the hand that we have been dealt
Billy King will have to make it work. That’s all that you can really say about it
If the previous GM didn’t waste draft picks, maybe we’d be a bit better off.

or actually think tim floyd got a raw deal and tyson chandler, elton brand, jamal crawford, eddy curry, and ron artest werent good back then?

and they had artest, curry, chandler, crawford, and brad miller along with jalen rose, greg athony, ron mercer, travis best, our 12-70 own trenton hassel and the worst draft pick this decade marcus fizer and only won 21 games and rose was just in the finals with the pacers in 99. greg anthony spent several years on the 90’s knicks teams and the rest of those young guys i would say panned out pretty good save for a fight in auburn hills and a heart arrythimia

Elusive is a charitable way to describe the Nets playoff run..
http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NBA/Eastern/Atlantic/Nets.html
Basically its hopeless unless we run off a 14-2 record from here in..
The playoff dream was nothing more
than a dream to begin with. With Indy taking 2 in a row over the Knicks and us basically having to play perfect basketball with a roster that just isn’t that good, it’s not really anything to be concerned about
A strong, over. 500 finish is what the Nets must accomplish.

Agreed, forget the playoffs
We have to play to win every game, not a series of games. Each game is its own. If the teams ahead of us suffer epic failures and we get in, fine.
But we don’t deserve it the way we’ve played all year long. Lopez was a cream puff for most of the year, and whether Deron had helped or not, that’s all on Lopez for being so soft.

So this "NetsDaily" section at the Rock is beginning to show some promise
There’s a great chance, I’m told, of April 5 against Minnesota being the game for a test run. Good choice considering the opponent (Minnesota) and that it’s a Tuesday night.
The question is, if they give me a bunch of tickets to distribute, how do I select the right people? Have to be loud and animated most of the game! That’s a tough thing to find in Nets fans lol…
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Do you know what section they would be?
I go to most of the games anyway maybe I can buysome in the same section.
I know they are looking at lower level
Ideally corner, and starting with the last row and going downwards from there (to prevent the group from standing up in front of people with seats already).
You wouldn’t need to buy, the test run would likely be free. But it’s still in the early stages, so who knows. Of course they’d rather sell the tickets…

I’m interested to see how many people would actually be down, especially if it was free.

we are headed in a new direction
why worry about players from that team? Good luck to all of them. Out of all of the 12-70ers, I have nothing against CDR because despite his brashness, the kid showed a competitive fire and I admire that trait in athletes. Where he went wrong was when he let Kiki throw him off of his game. He should have kept his chin up when his minutes got cut, and when he got into the game he should have played hard instead of sulking.
Either way, I think that he will still be able to hold a job in the NBA if he keeps working hard. I can’t say the same for Terrence, who is 1000x more talented yet 100000000000x more immature/stupid

TWill: Dnt shake your head too much #Pause
He had the nerves to bash the L’Vill kids and say they didn’t have the same passion he had

What are our thoughts on TWill & CDR vs. Morrow & Vujacic?
I’m taking TWill and CDR and it’s not close for me. Thoughts?
The Token Black-Jew
Can you at least explain why you would
before people start flaming you?
Why would you want to keep those players? Both have terrible attitudes and honestly, Morrow is more productive than Williams despite Williams being a better ball handler, rebounder, and passer.
Morrow plays within himself, he doesn’t distract the team with immature behavior. T-Will has tons of talent, yet can’t put it together while Morrow works hard and is great at shooting the ball. You’d seriously take T-Will over him, right now? LOL

Hes gone and has done absolutely NADA in Houston.
That being said we need a signficant increase at the 2 and the 3.
But Twill nor CDR were the answers either.

-Feburary 23, 10:54 am.
None of the guys on our roster at the 2 and the 3
are suited to be starters today.
Perhaps Damion James down the road, but not today- NOT if we want Dwill here in 2 years.
But if Twill was here he would not be the answer either. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective and NO way would he have it with Dwill in town.
Nets 2011- looking forward to the lottery- again
TWill’s a far better passer than Vujacic; I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at.
The Token Black-Jew
Because he's a better passer he's not a street baller?
he’s flashy. He’ll throw a nehindthe back pass….. Right out of bounds
yep
Morrow is a one dimensional shooter that will prove to be valuable when we add more talent to open things up for him.
If T-Will was so goddamn awesome, he would have cracked Houston’s rotation. He can’t, because he does the same garbage down there that he was doing up here

We don't win Toronto without him
We’re not in the game last night in the 4th without him.
Get over your hatred. The kid can shoot, plays defense better than TWill ever cared to, and has a TON of passion and energy that fuels the Nets.
I watched him in timeouts talking to everyone, trying to get them amped up, patting on the shoulders, supporting his teammates.
The kid wants to win, and he brings it every night.
TWill failed at every single one of those intangibles.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
It is not hatred
If anything it’s you the one who needs to get over his hatred.
Vujacic cannot shoot. Dude shoots 39% from the field, for god’s sake.
He is not a better defender than Williams, he is a matador defender. He is a fake hustle guy.
Vujacic shoots 39%, so does TWill, so you lose your argument there
Fake hustle? The guy is flying around like a manic all game long. I’m not sure what you call “fake” hustle, but it’s pretty ridiculous.
Once again, we don’t win a number of games this year without him.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Yeah, but TWill isn’t a “shooter.” He also has to play on limited time so he’s not playing within himself.
Obviously, you can counter with: well why isn’t he getting playing-time? That, I can’t answer.

not only that
he became the first players in Nets franchise HISTORY to ever put up a TD coming off the bench.
According to BBall reference, he is also the only player in NBA history between ages 19 and 23 to ever record a TD (with pts, rebs and asst) coming off the bench in a win.
No he didn't
he played awful this year, and other than a two month stretch where he was allowed to dominate the ball(which is the only way that he can be productive), he hasn’t shown anything worth a damn in his NBA career other than the fact that he’s soft, insubordinate, and possibly uncoachable.

Williams also played well last year under Frank, he averaged 10 and 6 over the first 17 games last season, not great but decent for a rookie who had just arrived to the league.
funny how you downplay Williams’ play last game and deify guys like Morrow, Williams’ level of play over the last 2 months of the season was insane and it’s a level Morrow has never reached and never could.

Good Try
If I recollect You specifically said that Twill would thrive playing for a ‘players coach’ like Adelman.
Now Adelman doesnt have a clue because Twill cant get the splinters out of his u know what.
Or he had no training camp which is why he wasnt playing, yet guys they traded for Goran Dragic, YES, Goran Dragic has been getting more PT.
Lets face it, hes not as good as many people thought. He had a good 20 game stretch last year. So did Harold Baby Jordan Miner, Walter Berry, Pearl Washington- infinite amount of players who tease u with a glimpse- and then never become the player u expect.
Nets 2011- looking forward to the lottery- again
I never said
Adelman was a player’s coach.
I’m surprised Adelman is so stubborn. I don’t care, he’s about to retire so who cares about him. Morey says he thinks TWill can play at an All-Star level he and Rick are obviously not in the same page. Adelman complained about the Brooks and Battier trades. He said there wasn’t a spot for TWill when they traded for him. He’s gone so who cares about this guy, it’s not like he hasn’t been wrong before (Again GWallace, Drazen HAHAHAHA).
And so what if Adelman doesn’t think Williams is not a pg.
Hes not a PG, SG or SF
Hes a tweener.
Right now T will is a back of the bench player.
All star- now thats laughable!
Nets 2011- looking forward to the lottery- again
Whats he supposed to say?
Hi Im Darryl Morey and I just traded my 2012 1st round pick for a guy who cant get off the bench because my senile coach wont play him.
Do u think if he said the truth it would fly well. Hey Media, heres how I really feel…..Terrence Williams, who I think has all star abilities, has been an utter disappointment since he has been here. We think these are some areas of improvement for him
1- hes athletic like MJ but doesnt go to the hole
2-hes an adept passer like Magic, but turns it over way too much
3- hes improving his 3pt game to be like Ray Allen but right now shoots it like Tony Allen.
His job as GM is not to devalue his players, in case they dont work out there, he can deal them elsewhere.
Nets 2011- looking forward to the lottery- again
And I always liked Adelman
but let’s be honest here: he hasn’t been fair. AARON BROOKS had been playing like absolute CRPA this season, and at one point left the game and went home during the 4th quarter of a game because he was mad at Adelman for not playing him. Now, that’s a HEADCASE, that’s POOR ATTITUDE and that’s being SELFISH. Imagina if TWill did that. Yet Adelman kept playing and then complained when Morey traded him. And you’re trying to tell me Williams is being benched because he is a headcase and his attitude stinks?
Aaron Brooks is Williams' boy
shocking behavior
they’re really raising em right out there in Seattle. Brandon Roy is like the only guy that seems to have his head screwed on straight

No what I am saying
is that if his attitude is great and hes not a headcase in Houston then the reason hes not playing is either a) the players in front of him are GREAT or b) hes really not that good

It was a smart basketball move. They don't have to be excused.
We got two first round picks and a guy who has been a positive influence on a team for a guy who is a headcase that had devalued himself and squandered his talent.

yup
that’s why he’s playing big minutes for them
it’s called having tact by not devaluing a player in public so that maybe they can pawn him off on another team, since Morey realizes that the Nets ripped him off

Drazne was a established enough player, he had a resume coming from Europe. And Drexler and Petro could have played together. Easily. Did Phil Jackson not play Toni Kukoc because he had Scottie Pippen? And Drazne was arguably the better player in Europe. It’s not like he was an unknown.
And Adelman played bums like Lawrence Funderburke ahead of Wallace in Sacramento.

I don't care
about those particular formulas, if it says Williams is worse than Outlaw or that Martin is as bad a defender as ZBo it’s trash.
+- is a stat indicative of the team.
If a team loses 105-104 and a member on the losing team played the entire night, he would have a 1 + even if he put up all 104 points.
Win shares focuses on the player.
James did not allow for the possibility of negative Win Shares. In his system, the fewest number of Win Shares a player can have is zero. In my system, a player can have negative Win Shares. I justify this by thinking about it in the following way: a player with negative Win Shares was so poor that he essentially took away wins that his teammates had generated

it’s not a 100% objective formula and it doesn’t take into account all the factors, it’s actually impossible, and it’s ridiculous to bring Williams’ WS since he has played so little and since he’s in Houston he basically has played nothing but garbage time minutes of blowout games.

Love has accounted for 11.5 of the TWolves meager wins which is fair, IMO, the reason the team does not have more is because he does not raise the game of others.

Yeah not only behind Peja
But that Sacramento team was LOADED. CWebb at the 4, Hedo, Jimmy Jackson came off the bench for them- all guys who could play the 3 or the 4.
Wallace was a raw athlete. Shoot, he only averaged 11 ppg the following year he left the Kings for an expansion team. He made himself into the player he is today and deserves a lot of credit.

ANSWER MY QUESTIONS
Did Phil Jackson not play Toni Kukoc because he had Scottie Pippen?
Was Drazen an unknown when he came to the NBA?
Of course Phil played Toni, your point?
No he wasn’t. Drazen was also playing behind a hall of famer, and frankly, the fact that you’re trying to invoke Drazen’s name while making a case for this clown is shameful.
Toni Kukoc, Drazen, Gerald Wallace….all players that worked hard and didn’t act like clowns. Guys that didn’t shy away from contact, or disrupt the team with their antics. You are really comparing that a-hole Terrence Williams to these MEN?
Your obsession with him is disturbing. Williams did not give a damn about the Nets, or his fans. I question if he even gives a damn about his two children .

It doesn't mean Williams can be that good
It jsut proves Adelman has a track record about being WRONG with talented guys. So it’d be great if some of you here tried to stop pretending te fact he doesn’t play TWill means he sucks.
You excused Adelman
for not playing Petrovic because they had Drexler. That’s why I brought the Kukoc example.
I think he missed on Petro
But, once again that Portland team was loaded. Clyde at the 2, Big Jerome Kersey at the 3. Danny Ainge coming off the bench. Cliff Robinson who could play the 3.
And they were a championship contender.
Nets 2011- looking forward to the lottery- again
they could have used a 20ppg scorer and a guy who became one of the best shooter in the history of the game.
I agree
I think he missed on that one. And we ended up as the beneficiary.
But watching Twill- even last year when he played extremely well for a stretch- I see significant holes in his game- and I dont think hes has fixed them.
Nets 2011- looking forward to the lottery- again
and dont forget terry porter
they got rid of john paxson and passed up on mj because the backcourt was loaded
drazen had no chance playing in portland. he got drafted to the worse possible scenario

I don’t get why people act like Houston has no guards and T-Will still can’t crack their rotation. Houston’s SG rotation is Kevin Martin, Courtney Lee, and Chase Budinger. No matter what your opinion is of those players, they’re all starting caliber SGs (one nearly all star) and they’ve all been with the team since training camp. Don’t pretend that TWill isn’t getting burn over scrubs, these are legit guys.
and up until the trade deadline add shane battier to that list
people act like t-will sucks compared to morrow ad vujacic and outlaw.
i’ll take t-will’s point forward skills any day. he ran sets better than harris did and is the most athletic player since VC

When you take “everything” into account you have a player who is a malcontent, poor shooter, turnover prone, hyper athletic, ego filled player who thinks too highly of himself.
Vujacic is a teammates driven, equally poor shooter but makes big shots, less turnover prone, hyper energy, ego filled player who thinks too highly of himself.
One wants to be a part of the team and make other people better. The other wants to be a one man show and blames everyone else for his problems.

Morrow is one of my favourite
In terms of talent the T Will trade is awful. The dude doesn’t seem to care to put it together. AJ obviously not the couch to handle headcases. When we were rebuilding a team and chasing some Melo fantasy I had a problem with it. Since we had no star in site and the team kept dumping an young talent we had.
Now he have a star though it might be best he’s off the roster.

I griped about losing CDR for nothing.
I also complained about Morrow’s (lack of) D when he was signed. That said, his 3’s and ability to open the paint makes up for a lot.
My rankings of the wings:
~Morrow (Nets haven’t had a shot like his since KK)
~TWill (even tho he doesn’t play and is a head case, still the most athletic of this bunch… by far!)
~CLee (decent starters on most teams)
~CDR (would be a decent starter if, like Twill he checked his head)
~Sasha (clear bench player but I still like his shot more than most on this board)
~Tal, Killer, Jax, Muwu, just about anyone on this board.

What is so funny?
I like Morrow but he is overrated by most Nets fans, his average in points is nothing special for a guy who plays that many minutes, any player who some decent offensive game could put up that ppg average, and his assist numbers are ridiculous for a guy who gets that many minutes. Dude is ridiculously one-dimensional. His defense is downright atrocious. His FG % is nothing special for a spot up shooter. He is a great 3 pt shooter, but that’s about it.
exactly. He is a borderline starter…he’s in the league to shoot the 3 and nothing else.

what makes him better than say Kyle Korver? KK actually has some nice post up game and is a better passer (not that he is Magic Johnson, but you don’t need to be him to be a superior passer to Ammo).
Look at yesterday´s game: Morrow scores 8 pts in the first 2-3 minutes of the game, then he does NOTHING, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING the rest of the game, not a single point more
I like him but he is what he is, some fans here overrate him like crazy.

because tha’s one of the guys we brought in his place and one of our wings who gets the most minutes, so I think it’s at least understandable that some of us complain about it since in your post you implied you don’t understand why some of us complain about letting him go for nothing .
Yeah, so what is he doing that 80% of other shooting guards can't do?
I mean, we gave him away for nothing, it’s no big deal to me. What makes him different from any other average shooting guard out there? Giving away a common commodity for nothing isn’t exactly terrible

Zach Randolph is not better than Hump
Hump is a better rebounder, defender, and shot blocker. Randolph scores more points, but that’s only because he takes more shots – Hump is a more efficient scorer.
Not to mention that Randolph will already be 30 years old by the time next season begins. And so Randolph’s numbers will only get worse from now on.
Nets should definitely NOT sign Randolph. They should sign Hump, start him at the PF, and spend the money they save on better wing players.
what are you talking about
rebound rate hump-21.9% z-bo-20.5
True shooting hump-.559% z-bo-.543%
turnover rate hump-11.8% z-bo-8.9%
minutes hump 27 mpg z-bo 36.7 mpg
PER hump 17.85 z-bo-22.36
Wins Added hump 5.6 z-bo 12.7
it doesnt take that many stats to show that z-bo eclispes hump as a player by good stretch. sure hump makes a couple of blocks but as an overall player randolph is far superior. as you can see hump commits more turnovers in less time and how efficient can you be scoring 10 points a game versus 22?
not to mention humps terrible free throw shooting. like i said hump is a great energy guy on an elite team coming off the bench and a starter on bad teams with flaws.
and randolph plays under the rim his style will not worsen as rapid as you think. he doesnt live off athleticism. if the money is right they need randolph. a big time scorer in the paint something lopez seems to want no part of. and if hump comes at the right price he can back z-bo up.
but this will be mikki moore part 2 and if ump demands more than 6 mil a year he has got to go justlik if sasha wants more than 2 mil a year

Did you even read the stats you posted???
“rebound rate hump-21.9% z-bo-20.5”
“True shooting hump-.559% z-bo-.543%”
In other words, this confirms exactly what I wrote. Hump is a better rebounder and a more efficient scorer.
As I said, Randolph takes more shots, so he scores more points. And those things lead to the differences in the metrics like PER. But it doesn’t make Randolph a better player.
Randolph’s offensive game duplicates Brook’s, while Hump’s offensive game compliment’s Brook. I’d much rather have Hump than Randolph, especially since you will have to pay a fortune for Randolph even though he is on the down-side of his career, while Hump can be signed for less and is still improving.
ZBo wants about 10 million.
Lets just keep Hump and build on him.
Hump wants to remain a Nets player.
Kim wants to stay in NYC.
Hump and Kim would both benefit by his re-signing for what BKing is willing to offer.
They would make a fortune in new endorsements, once Kris re-signs and then gets engaged.
BKing could just make his offer and wait for Kris to accept, even if other teams might offer a little more.
1. Kris isn’t going to get more starting PT elsewhere.
2. Kris isn’t going to get more rebounds elsewhere (thanks to Brook).
3. Kris isn’t going to get better passes (from DWill) elsewhere.
4. Kris isn’t going to be more appreciated by the fans elsewhere.
5. Kris’ relationship with Kim is more likely to succeed by staying in NYC.
Therefore Hump would be happier, and wealthier in the long term, by accepting a little less to stay with Nets.
Quite right
Although when you get agents in the room, they usually don’t like “accepting a little less”. Quote Hump a fair price today and sign him before the season ends.
several teams depending on who they let walk
what if denver lets jr smith and kenyon martin walk, re-sign nene and chandler, still have gallinari, felton, lawson, and birdman, who would you take hump to start over al harrington or afflalo to come off the bench?
the pacers could use that expiring money from ford, tinsley, foster, and dunleavy and bring hump in to pair up with hansborough
golden state, lacking big men, may throw money at him
the hornets may lose west and landry to other teams and throw money at kris
the wizards will likely let Yi and josh howard go and could toss money at hump to back up mcgee and blatche
hump is going to have money tossed at him. especially if there is an MLE still contenders like the spurs and thunder will toss money at him.
does hump value money over this team? would he bail for a contender? would he go to a team that would overpay him to start or come off the bench whether in a good or bad situation? who knows
welcome to mikki moore 2.0. i like hump but anything more than 6 mil annually is too much and another team will offer him some ridiculous 5 year 55 million deal based on this year alone.
if hump chases big money i dont blame him. i dont want him here eating up the cap and how do we know that he is only playing this good because of his contract year. before the last half of last season he showed noting the 5-6 years he was in the league but selfishness and team killing ways
i wouldnt mind replacing hump with randolph or with a combo of landry, big baby, hayes, evans, mcroberts, mbah a moute

Denver has the bad contracts of Birdman and Harrington so I don't think they want to pay much for a large Hump contract. They are trying to keep Nene with their limited budget..
Most contenders already have a set PF and he wouldn’t get the PT he deserves.
Hump was on contenders before. He is much happier now.
And how could many contenders have the cap space to get Hump?
There probably won’t be a MLE.
Teams that are way over the cap should suffer with the new CBA.
Golden State with David Lee (his competition)? No chance.
The UNSTABLE Hornets?
To be a backup to Blatche in Washington?
You just make it more clear:
HUMP WILL BE A NJ NET. You can Hump on that!
alright first of all if nene opts out and afflalo and chandler became UFA's then denver has a team payroll of 24 million
nene picks up 11 mil option and signs extension team payroll up to 33 mil
sign chandler for 9 mil team payroll up to 42 mil
sign afflalo for 6 mil team payroll up to 48 mil
hump for 7-10 mill a year. why cant it happen?
the OLD HUMP was on contenders before. new hump would be able to get PT on those teams
there may not be an MLE but good chance there is. this lockout wont focus on teams payrolls but owner profits and player max salaries
david lee can play center, biedrens and udoh have been underwhelming and golden state has a better core than us. think about how inflated humps stats would be in golden state
hornets are unstable but they arent stupid. if they lost landry and west they would have plenty of money to throw at hump. plus CP3 is still down there.
the wshington thing is unrealistic but its a scenario if hump was chasing money.
dont rule out indy: hump and hansborough can be a deadly PF combo
and teams like the spurs and thunder can still use another big dirty work guy. also if the grizzlis list randolph what if hump went to memphis.
If you think all nice guys put loyalty over money and opportunity then yu are crazy. Have you not seen what has transpired in the league since last summer?

Not sure if we can sign him now, if we are over the cap. Maybe King can talk now, and sign late?
I wonder what the first date is, that we could sign him?
I hope in worst case that it can get done before free agency, and even before the draft.
If it happens before July 1, there wouldn’t be any formal offers to compete with.
Who is Hump’s agent anyway? What other players does he represent.
Don't the Nets have his Bird rights?
They can go over the cap to resign a player if they have Bird rights, I believe.
Surely the reason they aren’t doing so is the expiring CBA…
no humps limited minutes allows his stats to be higher
per 48 humphries 17.2 ppg, .531 fg%, .657 FT%, 17.8 rpg, 1.88 bpg, 2.3 TO, .79 AST/TO, 29.26 efficency rating
per 48 randolph 26.4 ppg, .494 fg%, .189 3pt%, .759 FT%, 16.5 rpg, .45 bpg, 2.6 TO, .94 AST/TO, 31.87 efficiency rating
double doubles- humphries 24 randolph 47
i’ll take 26 and 17 at the right price(ie less than 11 million a year). if hump wants more than 6 mil a year he has to go. randolph has been playing like this for years now. hump has been doin it for almost 1 year now.
if we could get both i would be happy but z-bo at market value price>>>>>> hump at above market value price

We can probably get both Hump and AK47 for about what Z-bo wants.
But I don’t mind using the fear of signing Z-bo to get Hump to agree sooner.
This is completely wrong
Have you even watched the last 6 games?
As we’ve seen over the last 6 games, if you give Hump 30+ minutes, he will continue to produce big numbers on a per minute basis, no different than when he was sharing time with Favors.
I will take better rebounding, more efficient scoring, more blocks, better defense, 4 years younger, AND several million dollars cheaper EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.
yeah 6 games and i just brought out stats for the year
and z-bo has been doing this for at least two years. i’m done with this landslide victory

Tonight would be a good win because
The Bucks completely own us for some reason, we just can’t hang with them and Bogut always abuses us, injuries or not he will score at least thirty on the Nets.
We can get this
We should win this game.
We were stopped winning by Bulls already, so we need to return it.
Bucks have great defence team in the league, but they have not good offence.
Lopez have to focus on Bogut.
This is a MUST WIN game.
Yeah Bucks are in the way, but We need to get back on a Winning Streak.
MUST WIN.
Lopez needs to DUNK on everyone in his way. No more of the Soft Stuff.

no he said wing men
and bigs.
He made no mention, specifically, about a 2 guard.
Think Kenneth Faried and Kyle Singler, although both will likely go higher.
Williams Buford
and JeJuan Johnson maybe.

Kemba?

What I'm thinking, it will also be interesting if Jimmer falls do the Nets like him or would they take him as trade bait.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Jimmer Fredette
PG, BYU, senior, 6-2, 195 pounds – Scout’s take: "Most dynamic scorer in college. Has the ultimate green light and is in range after crossing half court. … Comparisons to Stephen Curry are fairly accurate. He can play the point guard position. He can run the pick and roll. On the next level when you put him in pick and rolls, do you go to him to take the ball out of his hands or let him shoot? … He’s pretty crafty like Steve Nash. He’s more stocky, taller and stronger than Nash and Curry. He’s not as short as a lot of people think." NBA comparison: Stephen Curry, Mark Price.
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
Rather have Marshon Brooks.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
He's taller than Nash and Curry? Thought they were 6'3
But he is more stocky than them both and stronger will help him out in the pro’s. I would take him then turn Uzoh into a backup do everything combo guard that can guard bigger guards like Rose and trade Farmar save money front load Chandler and Nene.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Not mentioned is that Fredette only commits about 1 foul per game...
and that often is from a “charge” call.
That is, the guy doesn’t even try to play any defense.
That is why there is no D in Jimmer Fredette.

its amazing how much backlash this team is getting from ONE LOSS
to a highly ranked team with the probable-MVP running the show…
when there are arguments about CDR + Twill > anyone + travis outlaw, its obvious how spoiled we became by the win streak.

yes
and the team shot horribly. If Deron made half his shots it would have been a different game. We can start a new streak tonight.

What is most important is to extend Deron before the start of next season.
Deron has to blame himself for the loss. That should help prove to him that we are good enough to compete with the best team in the East, with the present team (if he was healthy), not to mention when we make upgrades.
all this stuff
about how worthless the Lakers and Rockets picks are…
Over the past two years, there have been three wingmen taken either in the second round who are solid rotation players: Budinger, Jerebko and Fields.
I would take any of them…happily…and all fit into King’s description of the kind of player you can find at the end of the first/beginning of the second: third or fourth year college players (or similarly experienced Euros) who can step into the rotation.
I think Singler could be…
but he wont be available with the laker pick IMO

I think we will move up if we have to tho buy a second rounder or use our own
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Faried killed my Cards yesterday with the blocked shot at the end of the game.
He had 17 rebounds in that game. Rick Pitino prasised him highly after the game was over. He compared Faried’s rebounding skills to that of Dennis Rodman.
"That's life...I tell ya, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting baby...But my heart just ain't gonna buy it"
that block
will make it impossible for us to get him with the Laker pick. It’s a lose-lose!

Well if he's taken means someone else falls and vice versa heard some foreign kid might go 2 or 3

But what are the chances of getting lucky and picking one of those type of rotation players?
Relatively low.
What you didn’t show are how many non-lottery wings taken in the past 2 years who are NOT rotation players — the vast majority of them.
Why is
Marshoon Brooks going in the second round.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
because he is a less efficient gilbert arenas
i mean providence was downright terrible this year. he got his but that was it. he’s a senior for a reason and it isnt to get his education. before these outburts how many people knew him. i didnt even know him.
i knew sharaud curry and efejuku who were much better than him but brooks was nothing until late last year

again thats what the normal fan sees
the scouts see him not cracking the rotation on decent providence teams and having minimal impact until all the talent leaves and he becomes the college kevin love of shooting guards(big stats no wins)
remember how good adam morrison looked and where is he now. jj reddick and how long it took him to mold. brooks doesnt have any of the college credentials they do. basically he’s a risk that shouldnt be taken until all the proven talent is off the draft board

lets stop the cdr and twill arguments unless they make the all star team or something
cdr and twill needed a new start somewhere else, so good luck to them, and lets move on
After watching the game last night it is so obvious
We really need a SG or SF or a few that can get to the rack.

But we need to be patient and make only smart moves that maintain flexibility.
A Rudy Gay good become available, if Memphis is in even worse financial shape than believe.
That is my point.
I’d rather wait for the “star” player that Proky has promised, than make rash decision for a good, but not great player, who ties us up for years.
I am confident that Proky/King won’t do as you suggest.
King said there are lots of scoring Wings that you can get from the draft.
I'm hoping we do good in the draft.
the draft is the most important IMO because we can’t keep over paying we now have a superstar and Lopez are going to demand money and outlaw demanding money for a while. We need guys who perform at a level that proves they deserve more than what they are getting paid (rookie contracts)
The Bucks Team Report lists Bogut as "day-to-day" (due to migraine). I doubt we would be so lucky to have Bogut's migraine continue to keep him out of lineup.
Medical Watch:
• C Andrew Bogut (migraine) didn’t play against the Magic on Wednesday night in Milwaukee. He is listed as day-to-day.
• F Ersan Ilyasova(notes) (concussion) sat out his 10th straight game Wednesday night against the Magic. Bucks officials said there isn’t any timetable for Ilyasova’s return.
• F Drew Gooden(notes) (plantar fasciitis and bruised heel) is working out with the team and hopes to play in just over a week.
• G Michael Redd(notes) (knee surgery in March 2010) has rejoined the team but said he doesn’t expect to play until later this month.
Rotation:
Starters:
• Point guard Brandon Jennings
• Shooting guard John Salmons
• Small forward Carlos Delfino(notes)
• Power forward Luc Mbah a Moute
• Center Larry Sanders
Bench:
• Center Jon Brockman
• Forward Corey Maggette(notes)
• Guard Keyon Dooling
• Guard Earl Boykins(notes)
• Center Earl Barren
=====
Fortunately Illyasova is out, because as I recall he killed us the last time Bogut was out.
I don’t recall who was their center when Bogut didn’t play last time?
It doesn’t list CDR as “day to day”, but then if he is out of the rotation, since he isn’t listed here, so hopefully he won’t play.
We better win tonight.
won’t be able to watch will be at a hiphop gathering hopefully meet some dope producers. Looks liken game we are suppose to win.
ilyasova was the center when the bucks destroyed us
and i believe cd-r is injured or just out the rotation because scott skiles would rather have salmons, delfino, and maggette chuck up shots
hump can handle mbah-a-moute but larry sanders is an athletic big like jj hickson who has given lopez problems this season.
there is no reason for either team to score more than 100 point tonights. the bucks are one of the few teams worse offensively than us. problem is they have an elite pace-adjusted defense while the nets have a below-average defense
