Nets Hoping to Free Up Bogdanovic for Brooklyn Debut, Says King
by Net Income on Jun 27, 2011 5:18 PM EDT
in 2011 NBA Draft
Email
PrintThe big news out of the Nets' press conference Monday morning was that while Bojan Bogdanovic has a three year deal with Euroleague powerhouse Fenerbahce -- and a two year player out -- Billy King said the Nets will try to get him out of his deal after next season...and into Brooklyn as a Net.
Bogdanovic, whose rights the Nets bought on Draft Night, appeared before the Nets media along with MarShon Brooks, acquired in a switch of first round picks with Boston, and Jordan Williams, taken at #36. Williams made a little news himself. He asked for and received No. 15, last worn in 2008-09 by Vince Carter, one of the team's most popular players ever.
First thing on Brooks' mind when he was drafted by the Nets? Deron Williams. "I think it's going to make life a lot easier for a guy like me." The three were expected to meet Jay-Z later Monday and after that, Bogdanovic heads home while Brooks and Williams travel to Santa Barbara for the same Peak Performance Project training the team's vets underwent earlier in the month.
It's uncertain when they will sign their Nets contracts. Although the Nets have their rights, they can't sign them to rookie contracts until a new collective bargaining agreement is negotiated. Under the current rookie salary scale, Brooks would be paid a little less than a million dollars excluding a signing bonus while Williams would get league minimum, less than $500,000, as second rounder.

What type of role does Bogs (is that sticking as a nickname or am I the only one using that?) project into? Starter down the line? 6th man?
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.

backup Guard/Forward most likely.

i dont expect him to ever be a starter but i think he can become a decent 15 mpg bench guy

Fun fact about Brooks...
I stole this from the guys at NAS…
MarShon Brooks measured 6’5.25″ in shoes, with a 7’1″ wingspan. That’s the longest wingspan of any prospect in the history of the draft that measured 6’5.25″ or shorter, according to DraftExpress’s database.
Well i would share that record with him if i was in the draft and i'm 6'3

was only on the team for 5 years, when you look at the credentials and other outstanding achievements/circumstances of other retired nets numbers and realize the nets dont have the outstanding history and championship pedigree of other teams like the yankees you will realize the number should not be retired because oh the guy scored alot of pts one year and I like him.

Agreed
There was really no historical significance to what VC brought to this franchise. If you want to retire numbers based on stats … then you might as well retire Jayson Williams number too.
The only recent Net that deserves to have his number retired is J-Kidd.

VC was once the most popular player in the league, can’t say the same for Petrovic .

2nd leading scorer in team history
As for the team achievements, again, did the Nets get any farther with Petrovic or Buck leading them? With VC leading the team in 2005-06, the Nets won a franchise tying 2nd best record. That’s as many wins as in 2002-2003, difference being the EC was much weaker back in 2003.
Carter to me is the 2nd best player the Nets have ever had in their NBA history.

This is ridiculous. He should NOT get his jersey retired
Petrovic opened the door for Europeans to break into the league and be recognized as competitive players outside of the un-athletic roles they might have been pigeonholed into.
Carter was great, and I was glad to have him, but you can’t just retire someone’s number because he had a great season or two statistically with no real outcome. Kendall Gill once led the Nets in scoring but we won’t retire his number. VC was a great Net, but he was on the team during a dark, unsuccessful time. If anything, he should be retired in Toronto for making people care about Raptor basketball.

VC is expected to receive NUMEROUS offers… hopefully one of them will be from the Nets.
wow i racked two warnings in two days
but you guys are pushing it. how can you disgrace petrovic like that?
VC brought the honey dip to the game
Petrovic was an international star in the middle of mass international conflicts. Watch the 30 for 30 with Vlade Divac and that doesn’t even tell half the story.
PETROVIC was a star on some of the great Yugoslavia teams and no one could deny before he passed away he was a budding NBA all-star
like i said VC: honey dip, knee surgery, multiple playoff chokes. He does not deserve his jersey retired anywhere: Toronto, new jersey, Orlando, phoenix

I became a Netsfan during the Drazen days and I love him as much as anybody
but he was nowhere near the player Carter was in his years with the Nets.
For those of you talking about VC not leading us deep enough into the postseason, well the Nets never got passed the 1st rd when Drazen was on the team. Drazen spent 2 and a half seasons in New Jersey, and after his last season here he was a free agent and was about to leave the team, he criticized his teammates and was angry at the team for not signign him an extension yet, he was actually strongly considering going back to Europe. In fact, it was said he had agreed to join a Greek team.
Based on their respective contributions to the Nets Petrovic didn’t deserve to get his jersey retired more than Carter does, not by any stretch of the imagination.
And again I love Drazen, but come on.

they must REALLY like Bogdanovic
1. they bought his rights from the TWolves who had previously traded for them with Miami. Based on previous price tags for first picks in second round, that cost them $3 million.
2. they are now saying they will try to make a deal with Fenerbahce to move his player out up a year. That will cost money too, probably seven figures as well.
3. as a second round pick, he can ask for more than the rookie minimum which is currently $473,000. He will want more than that to leave Europe where he has a 3 year, $4.5 million deal.
Can a NBA team pay more than $500000 for a player buyout???
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
currently no
but in the last CBA, the buyout limit went from $300K to $500K, so it will probably go up again.
does anyone know why there is a limit at all?
seems like every year excited fans of some team have to wait for a promising Euro b/c of the buyout limit

Did Billy King say the other day that they would of drafted Bojan #27 if the Brooks deal didn’t go down ?
Do you believe that’s true, because if it is, the Nets must really, really, really like Bojan.
I think Al reported that.

He is basically that.
I don’t know how he is offense but he can clean up around the basket. It is for when Hump is on the bench he can fill in and not lose the rebounding we need. Great pick up. This is why we need to resign Hump. Especially if we are planning to keep Brook Lopez. He compliments him best. If we are going for Howard then that is a different story.

I already warned the newest Nets about Outlaw.
I bet they were ROTFL when they saw Outlaw being taken away by law enforcement – DWill and BLopez.
The latest storytellers shows Marshon's 1st year salary only counting $954,000 against the cap.
http://www.storytellerscontracts.com/
And I believe Jordan Williams and the bonuses can be finalized AFTER Nets sign their free agents.
Therefore that income wouldn’t restrict the Nets from signing free agents.
I really don't get it... what are they waiting for?

The Nets extended the deadline for deciding whether to guarantee Stephen Graham’s contract for 2011-12 to the day before the start of the season
my only guess...
is that theyre keeping his contract around to include him in a trade as filler if they need to, he’s essentially an expiring contract

Yeah, if he was included in a trade, the team that received him could save some money by waiving him, it’s a very low figure anyway, so I don’t know how much of a help that could be.

Almost as scary as Outlaw's contract.

"We'll be the first really global team in the NBA. For me, being the first foreign owner, I want to do my best to invite all the fans for the team all over the world. I think the NBA is worldwide. But other teams [possess a] more local mentality. We are going to create and to build a global franchise to sell all around the world. I think I have a competitive advantage compared to other owners." - Mikhail Prokhorov

He really sounds like he might be crazy/delusional though. But if he got humbled, I’d be interested.
Listen to this interview…says he wants to be the best player in the league and be picked in the lottery, he went un-drafted…

But from this article, he looks like he might be learning that he isn’t a superstar.

Anyway, he is 6-7 and can score, so I’m interested.
is there a link to video from the press conference today?

Here is a Plan
1) Trade Brook + Outlaw to Atlanta for Josh Smith
2) Sign Chandler
3) With Outlaw gone, use flexibility to sign a good 2 or 3 this year or in 2012
Chandler + Josh on D would be great
and then we have zero post offense
fail

I dunno about that
Here is the question:
Would you rather have DWill, Lopez and Hump
or
Dwill, JSmith, and Tyson?
Also, remember, you still have cap space to acquire a 2 or 3 this year or next
D-will Lopez and Hump
With money left to sign D-howard.
"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."
Hmm
So i guess the hope now is to sign Dwight Howard outright.. man I can only wish, but i really doubt it
No through a trade
J-smooth and Chandler will be owed to much money.
"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."
Also
Josh isn’t a stiff on offense…
16.5 points, 48% FG, and 33% from 3
Tell that to the Hawks fans that ridicule his jump shot

Lopez is a legitimate scorer in the NBA
and this has been established while he had to play alongside hot garbage, being swarmed on a nightly basis. His game improved post all star break when he started making quicker decisions when he received the ball in the post.
now he will have one of the league’s elite players setting him up.
As long as he improves his rebounding, give me Lopez any day over Smith
the only player I trade Lopez for is Dwight Howard. Period.
Josh Smith is not a low post scorer.

Exactly
There is not a player in this league i would trade Lopez for besides Howard or maybe Love. It’s not worth it.

Blake Griffin says hi.
So does LaMarcus Alridge.
If you're interested, you can follow me @TokenNBR.
Blake Griffin will never ever be available
Howard will be at some point, and theres a possibility of Love, too. Oh, and i’ll pass on LaMarcus

Fun Facts: Bojan Bogdanovic
Summary on World Championship Game against Team USA on August 2010:
1. Bogdanovic scored 17 points.
2. Bogdanovic was the leading scorer on BOTH teams which included Durant, MVP Derrick Rose, etc.
3. He was guarded by Top Defender A. Iguodala for most of the game.
4. He was an efficient scorer 6-11 2pts shot and 5-8 on three point shots.
5. Funny last note, Zoran Planicic came off the bench in the same game only played 7 minutes but scored a grand total of ZERO points…LOL
Small sample but a good sign…..BK have it your WAY!

You know
I think it’s great how these guys are putting in their all even though they can easily be relaxing, taking time off, etc. You hear about people seeing these NBA players lounging around going fishing (Amar’e/Melo), getting citations in South Beach (J.R.), clubbing, getting arrested. etc., but as a fan, it feels good to know your favorite team isn’t slacking and is working hard to be the best they can possibly be.
And as a fan, I respect these men and hope they play strong whenever basketball resumes.
