The Nets announced Thursday morning that they have waived Quinton Ross, the little used swingman acquired in last year's Yi Jianlian salary dump. Ross, 29 with an expiring contract, suffered a herniated disc recently and is done for the season. A defensive specialist, he averaged 1.6 points and 0.8 rebounds in 36 games.
A few hours later, they announced that they have signed Mario West, a 6'5" defensive specialist, a 10-day contract. He spent the previous three seasons with the Hawks and was with the Celtics in the preseason. West, 26, has career averages of 0.8 points and 0.8 rebounds in 156 NBA games. He has played the last two seasons with the Maine Red Claws of the D-League, averaging 13.7 points and 3.1 assists. He was waived by Maine last week to be with an ailing family member. West and Anthony Morrow were teammates at Georgia Tech and share the same agent. He will be the 22nd player to wear the Nets uniform this season.

seriously ross was actually a decent role player but he is one of the many more players that have to go within the next two years
graham – a career bum, shouldnt even be on the cavs inactive list. no reason for him to be here now. jarvis hayes, larry hughes, they would have actually made a positive impact
farmar – with d-will and jordans consistency to stay inconsistent his 4 mil salary needs to go. gaines and uzoh can equal his performance for a combined 1.5 million. send him away for a high second round pick
vujacic – 7 years in and what has he contributed? two free throws in the finals? how many 30 point games sasha had this year? morrow has outplayed him all season. let his 5 mil salary expire and replace him with a starting wing so morrow or james or both can come off the bench. i’d prefer having james white or gerald green over him: at least they can dunk. you a high percentage shot?
petro – why this year he is making triple what he made the previous three years combined, i dont know? he is a 10th-12th man that should be getting 5 mpg instead he is logging huge 6th man minutes and is a serious detriment to the growth of our team. send him away for anything. please plenty teams want big bodies but he cant stay here.
wright this kid continues to live up to his lazy, heartles, uninspired approached to the game. is he happy he isnt getting PT? does he care? on a roster this bad and depleted he cant get consistent minutes. He can go. dont need lazy bums around ruining the growth of our winning attitude
and you know i saved the best for last:
TRAVESTY “MR. 10th QUARTER” OUTLAW" this guy is a 9th man and should only get around 15 minutes a game. he only looked good because he was playing with roy, aldrdge, oden, rudy, bayless, miller, webster, batum, and camby. we’ll never have that depth because this fool cant do anything without a loaded roster and his cap hit will destroy our chances of building an elite team unless we trade him. i dont even want to waste time talking bout him. you seen him play. he plays like he can talk the talk and walk the walk but when you see his production and contract this MF must be mute and paralyzed
a list of players i would trade for the bum:
marvin williams
stephen jackson
brendan haywood
oj mayo
drew gooden
john salmons
trevor ariza
josh childress
greg oden
beno udrih
francisco garcia
leandro barbosa
please just get him out of here

yes he can
D-League is the equivalent of a second rate international league.
I believe the Julius Hodge Coefficient proves this. Hodge played three years ago in both the D-League and the Australian NBL…same season. His numbers were virtually identical, leading me to believe that the two leagues are equal.
That means that all the other international leagues like the Spanish, Italian, Russian, Greek, etc leagues are MUCH better than the D-League.
Stephen Graham would dominate in the D-League…and tell me why respected NBA coaches like Larry Brown and Avery Johnson chose Graham over Curtis Stinson? I am not a big fan of Graham’s but you guys have this exalted view of D-League players who have spent YEARS down there without a callup.

Nets had real interest in Adam Morrison
but he hurt his ankle in pick up game. Never heard they had any interest in Joe Alexander. Doesnt mean they didn’t. Just never heard.
Alexander looked OK in DLeage All Star game

Why Morrison?

Graham is listed as partially guaranteed.
So does that me he really is fully a team option for 2011??
The news came a few days late. I was hoping for this the moment I heard he had a heriated disc and was in lots of pain.
Hopefully before waiving Ross, they got permission from Proky to pay for another 10 d contract. (At least 50K, more if we keep him).
Before Gaines was brought up, out of necessity at PG, they were probably looking at SF.
Now we should find out who that is? Joe Alexander? Alexander has bulked up and may be more of a PF.
He was Avery's defensive boy.
But Avery isn’t calling the shots like he was before the DWill trade.
BKing with consultation from DWill (and Avery) probably make the player decisions.
Avery has to admit, though, that he has made some bad player decisions.
For Avery to let DWill play for nearly the whole game without any hard practice in 2 weeks, shows how things have changed.
Avery knows when to make an exception, which is why he will get along fine with DWill.
For a player who thought Jerry Freakin Sloan was not doing his job right...
Avery Johnson has reason to be very very afraid.
by jirohkanzaki on Mar 31, 2011 9:48 AM EDT up reply actions
The evidence comes from the facts - Never happened before this year that a player returned from injury (although DWill is still injured!) without practice.
I bet you don’t disagree that DWill and Avery will get along fine, because Avery will treat him special.
yeah
if he knows what’s good for him, he’d offer to shine Deron’s shoes for him.

so soon?
i’ve only gotten the chance to make 3 pink floyd references… but i couldn’t be happier if sasha is on his way out. there are some players, that even when they’re on your team, they’re still the most annoying person on the court. its been obvious frm Day 1 that sasha had no intention of adapting his game to fit his new situation.

We need someone who won't be pushed around by Carmela...
BTW, as strong as Amare is, he was pushed around like a ragdoll by Hump underneath and couldn’t get a rebound…
I think that
James would have banged with Melo last night. He’s not a coward.
I cannot stand watching players let people push them around. I don’t care if he’s physically bigger. FIGHT BACK
Put him on his ass if he tries to muscle you to the basket
Did anyone see footage of the Cavs/MIA game? The Cavs played a physical game and took Miami out of theirs.
Hump was beating the HELL out of STAT last night. That’s why Hump will be paid well and retained by the Nets.
Man up. It’s sickening. Melo wants to muscle you? Drop him, and tell him to do something about it.
This wussy behavior has to end. Deron is not a coward. Hump is not a coward. Morrow is not a coward. Everyone else needs to get their stuff together or find another place to waste everyone’s time

and no Sasha either, guy never met a shot he didn’t like. On a side note, I like Earl Clark as an upside signing this offseason. Don’t think he’ll cost too much, can defend multiple positions, still young, and a Newark guy.
I like Farmar and Vujacic myself...
They are both streaky but when they got their game on both can’t miss…
Farmar had multiple games of 10+ assists…
and Vujacic is always a pest and hits some big threes late

Sasha had a role before we got Deron. When the team was desperate for any kind of offense at all, his chucking was acceptable. He’s served his purpose, but we don’t need him any more.

couldn't agree more...
for all his “championship experience” he hasn’t been much of a leader to this team. he usually sets a good example of what NOT to do… so i guess that helps
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
It's all about the size of their contracts
Are you telling me you wouldn’t bring back Vujacic for $2M?
True
For $2m, yea i guess, but he’s too run-and-gun i feel. He has his moments, but sometimes gets too out of control and starts chucking too much. But for $2m, you’re prob right
Don't think he'll command big money.

Definitely
100% agree.
If Sasha could be had for cheap and help with depth, I’m all for it.
Farmer is not as bad.
But Sasha is a chucker. He doesn’t pass up shots and shoots you out of more games then he helps you with. Farmer at least will pass if his shot isn’t going. And can do a alright job of running the point.

Farmar's a good backup pg
but that $3, or is it 4, mil/year to play behind one of the best PGs in the game could be used elsewhere
if there is a training camp
expect a lot of effort to getting the two of them to play together.
Kid is 24 years old and a lot of people here (who dont understand the game) think that a back up point guard must be perfect. His pay is about the same as most backups other than those who are on rookie contracts or vets minimum.
He is capable of scoring 28 points or handing out 17 assists. How many other teams have a backup who can do that?
by Net Income on Mar 31, 2011 9:59 AM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
No doubt
definitely think Farmar can play, just think that the team has other more pressing needs, that exploring ways to either clear that space for a FA wing/backup big or a direct trade. I think Gaines is more than capable at a lesser price tag.
I personally think Farmar is overpaid by about $2M—not necessarily in terms of his talent, but in terms of what the Nets need from a backup PG. When Devin was the starting PG, Farmar would play 20 minutes a night and start occassionally whenever Devin was injured. Now, his playing time will be cut in half.
The salary cap is a killer. There’s no need to pay someone $4M who will play around 8-10 minutes a night. From a cap perspective, that makes his contract worse than Petro’s, who everyone rags on.
However, Farmar is decent enough a player that you don’t have to just dump him for nothing to get rid of his contract. he is actually a positive-value asset! Thus, you can potentially trade him for a player that could help the Nets more. For example, some people are high on Marcus Thornton, who I think will be a restricted free agent. We may be able to swap them straight up.

What interests me is you say there no way Gaines could be the backup.
Yet you just said the backup doesn’t need to be perfect. Whoever it is won’t get major minutes either way. Nothing against Farmer but he’s not that much above average and we have big holes to fill with cap cloggers Like Outlaw in the way.
I have no problem going ahead with Gaines or somone else thats willing to work for scraps if it means a much need upgrade elsewhere.

ridiculous
Sundiata Gaines has played in a handful of NBA games and yet you believe that qualifies him to the backup to an all-Star (not to mention that a fractured hip is SERIOUS).
He is a fine third string PG…period.
I agree
Gaines provides a nice 6-10 minutes at best.
Farmar is a championship backup PG, finally breaking out of the triangle offense for the first time in his career. He should only improve.
Farmar can also play the two, and he could be a great weapon spotting up outside after Deron drives.
If Deron is injured, who would rather have backing him up Farmar or Gaines?
Farmar should be the correct answer. Gaines has barely made NBA teams.

the team screwed themselves by giving Outlaw that god awful contract, and now we have to sacrifice something to get where we need to be.

Farmar's contract is not the problem here.
And people saying that paying Farmar 4 mill per year to be our back up is NOT good are delusional. YOU ALWAYS NEED A SOLID BACK-UP PG NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR STARTING PG IS. Injury happens.
The only problem the Nets have is Petro/Outlaw make 10 million dollars together.
Morrow and Farmar are fine IMO.

Nobody denies Morrow, but people deny Farmar's value
There is huge void when Deron Williams is on the floor, I understand.
But if he goes down, the Nets are a more competent team.
What the Nets really need to do, like Claud said, is dump Outlaw and Petro. Even dumping Vujacic will make things easier.
Petro could be had for a 2nd rounder looking for size.
Outlaw is the problem.
Thats not how you do it
Jordans a keeper. In the NBA you win with depth and Jordan is a quality back up. With better wings he would also be better.
Better wings makes everyone better. A Jordan Farmar is something quality teams have. If we want to be a quality team we don’t do it by getting rid of the decent parts we do have to take chances on guys who may or may not fit.
How much did the celtics pay Nate Robinson? How much is Steve Blake making? Shannon Brown? All the Laker point guards make what Farmar is making and better. He is not the problem. All energy should be devoted to getting rid of Outlaw. Lol.

I even hit reply, but ended up way down here.
Probably cos I’m behind the topic by a few hours.
i agree NI, a lot of guys are getting carried
Away by the present, backup PG was the biggest weakness in the Kidd era, farmar is absolutely essential, we know what he can do if we put the effort in coaching him to our game it would be great next year.
Last year was the worst year a team can have, it set the team back several years,
I did not realize the impacts until the after effects u notice.
For this I blame thorn, he wanted to put kiki under the bus but chose wrong approach,
We blame brook but basket ball wise he lost 1 year could be even more for the damage it might have done in terms of bad habits. That season and the fact that Thorn announced his retirement when he did made us overpay heavily.
That said having Deron shoud change all that, if luck sticks with us and we pull of some trades or deals that none of us hear dreamed about it would be great.
Kidd era should be used as a determining factor in everything we do

Farmar probably isn't going anywhere this summer because first we have to be sure that Gaines is fully recovered and see what he can do.
Farmar because of his $4 million salary, can be valuable in a big trade before next year’s trade deadline. He is desirable plus Nets would need some salary to help match a player coming in. Hopefully Gaines will be up to speed by then.
Well if Farmar could bring someone like Marcus Thornton to the Nets this summer, I hope Nets would consider moving him ...
and not waiting to see that Gaines is up to speed.

Looked them up in the dleague site, looks to be great scorers and rebounders and gives size at the foward positions, though not entirely sure about their attitude etc…
all these guys are in the D-League for a reason...
or they’re NOT in the NBA for a reason. its highly unlikely that anyone we sign at this point is going to be an impact player now, or any time into the future.
we all the know the games are essentially meaningless now, so for the organization to be going through the motions and filling that last roster spot, seems a little odd.

the real question is this:
are the Nets shutting down Deron Williams for the rest of the season?
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
orien green, perhaps zoubeck, or morrison if he's feeling better
are my 3 guesses. why green? as Chakroot said, what if the Nets shut down D-Will for the season?
What's the problem with Vujacic?
I like the guy. He exudes positive energy at all times. I would imagine he’s a good addition to practices as well. If we can get him on a good deal, why not? He’s a perfect bench player. Ray Allen is not going to be our 8th man any time soon.
the problem is when vujacic starts... or gets starters minutes
he plays his own style, even when better ball-handlers and shooters are on the court with him… can’t play a lick of defense (especially against the 3)…
he chucks…. and chucks… and chucks…
barely ever gets to the stripe
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
I don't think Vujacic had a choice
Who else was going to score?
Not his fault. Really.
are you referring to a specific incident?
i’m not really not sure what you’re trying to say here
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
Morrow is a much more advanced version of Vujacic.
We don’t need him.

Mario West?
West went to Georgia Tech and joined as a walk on his freshman year and red-shirted. He was named a team captain just before his senior season started. While at Georgia Tech, West won the 2007 college slam dunk championship. West also earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Economics.

“the season is already over for us” and “the remaining games are meaningless”
there are a ton of guys that are still trying earn spots on this team… guys like humphries are going to be playing their hearts out down the stretch even though its a foregone conclusion. some of these guys will never get the chance to play with the caliber PG they have right now

It’s a me-a, useless end of the bench player with no real upside. Why not just sign a guy like a Scottie Reynolds or something and see what he can do?

Younger, hasn’t really been given an opportunity yet. We’re not exactly winning anything this year so if we’re going to bring in a d-leaguer, makes more sense to me to audition the players who have higher upside. And maybe the Nets brass decided that West is that higher upside player, who knows, but if this is a move to help win games this year, that makes no sense at all because it’s just not going to help.

You just don’t know for sure. Pretty much no significant difference in their probabilities for NBA success
I’m just saying West has been given several opportunities and has done nothing. I understand you have guys like Sundiata Gaines for example, who don’t always succeed the first try (or three) and eventually prove themselves, but I still think you’ve got a better chance at getting lucky with the younger guy who hasn’t really had the chance yet. Also, let’s not forget Reynolds was a first team all-American. Not that college success necessarily translates, but we know he could not only play, but dominate at that level, it’s worth seeing what he can do at the higher level.

If the Nets had better defensive players there would be less layups and dunks which are the main contributors to a high FG%

there would be less fast break points. the fast break is nearly impossible to defend well, especially considering who is running the court for that team.
every team gets beat by the fast break. our goal as a defense should be to play against a half-court offense.
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
Not if you have the proper defensive scheme
The Spurs all but forget about offensive rebounding in favor of getting back on the other end to play defense
thats true...
and they forfeit second chance points and back-to-back possessions in doing so… but bad shots, early in the clock are the leading cause of fast break points, tired defenses and offenses, and the gum disease gingivitis
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
did you see how well the Nets played in the first half last night?
4 turnovers
10 point lead at the half
8 turnovers in the 3rd q
Knicks took the lead
When players get the ball in easy positions to score they are more motivated on D
Brook for example had a great .comqst half on O and D cuz he was scoring

We werent’t going to go get Wilson Chandler, this doesn’t matter that much, whoever we would have picked up wasn’t going to be a difference maker. The draft is when our real moves will start. But it does continue to show money isn’t an issue finally and the front office is awake. But West is a really good wing defender and strong, looked athletic when I used to see him with Atlanta.

What's lost in the chatter last night is the fact that
The Knicks 3 stars had to combine for
95 points on 54% shooting to beat us by a measly 4 points. They all topped their season averages in points & FG% (except Amare who scored 2 less than his average, made up by Billups who doubled his average)
A gimpy wristed D-Will, a mono-weaked Lopez, and a non-existent SF almost beat them.
Correct. And if we had a minor upgrade of Kirilenko, we win easily.
Knicks aren’t going to be able to improve much in off season. They have to focus on center position and re-signing Billups to some HUGE multi-year contract.
Minor upgrade? I’m not even hyping up Kirilenko when I say hes much more than a minor upgrade over Outlaw.
On June 29th, 2001, the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a trade involving Stephon Marbury and Jason Kidd.
On February 23rd, 2011, the New Jersey Nets and the Utah Jazz agreed to a trade involving Devin Harris and Deron Williams.
A new beginning. LETS GO NETS!

ahhh, you get the point.

I say minor, because some people here are thinking Nets wouldn't be able to make any other off season moves if we got AK.
Getting Chandler, for example, would be more costly.
Getting AK would leave open the possibility to get another SF type All Star wing later on.
We wouldn’t expect big minutes from AK, but he could always be used at PF.
Either way, AK would take away Outlaws useless minutes.
Since AK is injury prone (getting reduced minutes with Utah at present) his pricetag should be less.
BTW, AK just turned 30 last month. Most people think he is older.
Does anyone have any impressive footage of Mario West?
I recall the name, but I am wondering if Nets took him, instead of a SF, because they plan to shut down DWill (use Uzoh at the point more).
I wonder if they would be considering extending West or Uzoh for next season, thus cutting into the 18+ million of cap space now projected.

People talking about this "pointless" signing...
Ross was a pointless player. There are barely any games left. We’re not making the playoffs. This guy was a gutsy player on his other teams, if offensively limited.
People said “Gaines who!?” When we signed him, and he ended up being solid. This guy could end up being a nice rotation player if he performs. It’s a tryout, just like Orien Greene. We didn’t like Greene, we dropped him. We liked Gaines, we kept him.
these few games that we have left
are going to still be important, like you said, as a tryout for a few guys. as a team we’re still showcasing deron williams for all to see. individual players are still playing for new contracts or to raise their own value in free agency.

Mario West's agent is Wallace Prather
he has four clients: West, Anthony Morrow, Derrick Favors and….Josh Smith.

Anyway welcome Mario., and good luck Ross.
