Billy King's Master Trade

That was a good trade for me. That was a trade you had to do. There are only so many times in history that you can get a top caliber NBA player. We have a very decent shot at keeping him. If an opportunity like that presented itself, and your GM who is the GM of sub-20 win team didn’t take it, then I’d think that was incredibly stupid.

It’s unfortunate that Courtny Lee (aka VC and Ryan Anderson) became Gadzuric and Wright but that was still a good trade at the time. Everyone thought Murph could contribute and legitimately make the Nets better.

The Twill trade was great: Vujacic was better this year and now you have Brooks plus a future pick. Twill’s done nothing, what are you complaining about?

The Dwill trade will always be a win for the Nets because of the instant cred he has brought. You think the media would be so excited about Barclays if Derrick Favors was touring it?! Even if Dwill leaves Brooklyn has been established as an NBA destination. But of course he ain’t going to leave.

who really cares about the warriors trade other than the fact that it was a concession that the courtney lee trade was a failure. moreover, it was an epic fail to trade both courtney lee and terrence williams.

+1000000000.

As for the DWill trade, I agree that it would be a disaster if he left, but I’m pretty confident he won’t go anywhere… his options will be limited in 2012. King and Johnson (not that I trust them anyway) would have to really screw up to make that guy leave. Just do what Deron tells you to do. I think we can get it done.

this is absolutely ridiculous.

-Courtney Lee did NOT WANT TO BE HERE.

-Terrence Williams is an insubordinate jackass

You tell me how trading a malcontent guard and a headcase that can’t shoot for draft picks is a fail??

Honestly, some of this stuff

because stevenson does not get in a lot of trouble off the court

and on the court? i guess if you want to call frustrating lebron james and knocking down open threes when d-wade cheats on help defense poor decisions yeah.

who told him to play like an all-world defender and 3 point specialist in the finals?

Their own first rounder, the Rockets first rounder, protected 1-14, and the Heat
second rounder.

Thank god you are not a GM, LOL

I don’t agree with NI most of the time, but his previous analysis was 100% correct. Sasha+Brooks+future pick >Twill and dinosaur smith. Until twill proves that he can play at a high level, there’s no reason for this discussion. Ive always liked Twill’s potential, but he doesnt have “it” to become a good player.
Time will tell.

and zero brains or drive to make himself better

you cannot sit here after I watched Williams shy away from contact, turn the ball over trying to make some kind of highlight pass, or settle for jumpshots that he cannot hit and tell me that this kid was playing great. He wasn’t.

We have not been told fully about what happend with him.

but not the courtney lee for muprhy for nothing trade or the GS pick King threw in..when he prob could’ve gotten the deal done without it…IMO

Hard to judge all the players based on the situation the Nets franchise put them in. Things got much better with Proky and his investment in the support infrastructure. Things will get even better with Brooklyn. I doubt Courtney Lee (as one example) would have wanted out today like he did two years ago. Leadership would have been found…….and remember our leader blew up the Jazz and forced out a legendary coach….because the situation changed.

And do not underestimate the effort it takes to be as bad as the twolves franchise. This does not just happen. It takes planning and yes…..it takes leadership. Long live KAAAAAAAHHHHHNNN.

So the comparison between Williams and Brooks is not exactly parallel. We have a somewhat better idea about where Williams is going as an NBA player than we do Brooks.

This is obviously true.

This is why I said let’s see if Brooks can have the type of an impact Williams had as a rookie when he finally got his act together and played at a very good level during the last third of the season. Last season was a waste for Williams and of course a lot of Williams’ problems came off the court, at least here with the Nets, with the Rockets he was never given a chance. I mean, it’s not like if he sucked despite given every opportunity and tons of minutes, he played mainly garbage time minutes and appeared in very few games. I mean, there are players like Yi or Outlaw, who have been around for 4 and 8 years respectively, who were given plenty of minutes as Nets and they were awful, and there were/ are people here who thought/ think they could/ can turn it around. well, why can’t I think that Williams can still be good? I think he can be special if he wants to and if he’s given a chance. He still has plenty of time, he’s played just under 100 games as a pro.

Regardless of what happens with TWill, I hope Brooks turns out to be good, because I am a Nets fan, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to change my opinion on him because he was selected by my team, as I stated many times before the draft I never liked him, hopefully the kid will prove me wrong.

Number 16: Troy Bell
Number 17: Zarko Cabarkapa

Number 43: Keith Bogans
Number 47: Mo Williams
Number 51: Kyle Korver

best trade Thorn ever made for the Nets, was trading himself for King…(LOL)

David West’s agent, Lance Young, just informed Hornets GM Dell Demps that his client will opt out of his contract, Demps tells Y! Sports.

Somebody will give hm 10 / 3

they don’t need a Lopez clone at the PF position.

Agreed. David West’s game reminds me a lot of Lopez.

Hump is a better rebounder, but West has much better footwork and shooting ability than the Hump.

i thought NI said, Monday @ 10:30 am.

They just traded for another wingman, they got AA and Gallinari. I think he would thrive with someone like Dwill. Young, athletic and can defend. Also multi dimensional can play the 2 and the 3. And if you sign AK47 to come off the bench AJ will have a TON of flexibility.
