Armor Happy With Nets as "Parent"

There's been a lot written about how advantageous the Springfield Armor affiliation is for the Nets. Now, a Springfield writer looks at the arrangement from the Armor's side of the deal and thinks it's a win-win situation.
The Armor are owned by Michael Savit, who also owns six minor league baseball teams. Having the Nets take control of basketball operations will free up money, just as major league baseball teams do for his minor league clubs. The situation is now quite the same, but as Savit's GM explains, the change should allow the Armor to spend more on promoting the team in the community and at the MassMutual Center, the 39-year-old arena that seats 7,600 fans for basketball games.
Not to mention that the Nets scouting operation will help them draft better players and the Nets affiliation will make the Armor coaching jobs more attractive to prospects.

Utterly Ridiculous
This is going to cripple the local economy in Springfield. Watch the documentary “The Darkness of Development.” It’s all about how these professional organizations who have minor league development teams are simply schemes to evade taxes and salaries due to young players, who then can’t afford to contribute to the local economies. These underpaid players single-handedly destroy the communities in which they play as they do something irrevocable that brings in cancerous elements from gangs to drugs to public urinators. If the THIEVES responsible aren’t brought to justice this thievery will only spread to more towns.

Excellent

$100 bet
I just had a heated argument with my friend over next year which resulted in a $100 bet of who goes further next year in the playoffs..nets or knicks. If they both lose in round one it goes to better regular season record. He called me an optimistic delusional nets fan. I’m obviously an underdog in the eyes of everyone but nets fans. Where do you think I stand?

good to make it now
because after the Billups MRI comes out, no one would take that bet.

thanks for the vote of confidence.
He may turn into nets troy Murphy. I’ve said it before, and ill say it again, I cannot wait till this team takes the floor again. I also believe in billy king. This team couldn’t have a bigger greener arrow pointed upward. As soon as my friend chuckled that deron might leave next summer i knew that every knick fan will not see the light until its flashed in their face. We will have the last laugh. Sucks we have to wait so long.

About what?
About D-will resigning?
Weren’t you like 97% just a couple of days ago?

after reading netsdaily everyday
How can you not be optimistic? Forget about billups and the knicks for a sec, but if the cap space is used wisely this year, if we continue to make good trades before dwills contract expires, if we get Dwight (game over), if dwill actually signs early, if we resign hump for a slight bargain, if we get AK47 for the vet minimum and a suitcase full of rubles in grandma’s siberian mansion, we are in great shape. Not to mention a healthy dwill and lopez. I dunno I might have blown a hundo cuz I think the knicks are nothin more than a hype machine, but I expect an above .500 year for the nets this year with or without Dwight Howard. Or maybe I’m still riding the high from the morning of dwill to nets. Regardless, I’m ready for this team to break out next season and it seems as if billy and deron are goin for the same goal.

because its not that easy
a majority of people here talk like they know this trade will be made, this free agent will come here, the nets will optimize their assets to the max, d-will is staying, hump is staying
its a business for a reason and with the upcoming lockout and new trend of big market superteams versus homegrown smaller market powers. there is a lot of uncertainty in the future
nothing is set in stone but i dont expect the worst to happen but all the stuff you listed unless it was a joke will unlikely happen.
its going to take a whole lot more than hump and ak to get this team to derons liking. they basically have to eclispe the hawks and magic in the east power chain by the first year in brooklyn pending no major league-changing moves which will be spontaneous and unexpected that people arent and really cant account for

We are about to be a big market super team.
Half jokes / half hopes.
I’m hoping for 4/5/6 seed for the Nets before we move to Brooklyn, that will satisfy Deron’s liking, and Billy and Prok know it.
I didn’t mention this in my previous posts, but the X-Factor in all of this is Mikhail Prokorov. Net Income, I just realized that this is where all my optimism comes from. He has upgraded this franchise to mythical proportions, and even WE dont know how big this is going to be. Don’t think that James Dolan is droppin 500M to put up two bridges for no reason. This is his way to combat us. Hell, I wanna walk around those bridges, that ish will be awesome. This New York Rivalry is the best thing to happen to basketball in our area EVER. And I’m so ready for it.

you are referring to billups and not d-will?
yeah unless he has torn tendons or some other extreme condition i dont expect much falloff in production. it will just make him less tradeable unless someone really wants his expiring deal
murphy- his sudden decline is of collosal proportions. no one expected a guy who averaged a double-double a majority of his career to become washed up in one summer

Thunder need some new Jerseys

I like them too.
But they need an alternative one.
