Humphries Switches Agents

PrintBusy off-season for Kris Humphries. He got engaged and became part of reality TV's biggest family. Now, the Nets forward is switching agents, tweets Al Iannazzone. "Kris Humphries no longer represented by Dan Fegan according to sources. Nets will be negotiating with Marc Cornstein for Humphries," he writes.
Later, Iannazzone wrote that Humphries is unlikely to get a better deal than with the Nets, noting not just the minutes and presence of Deron Williams, but also the endorsement opportunities that playing in New York (aka Brooklyn) will provide him.
He also noted the future Mrs. Humphries has already said they will be house-hunting in New Jersey.
Cornstein's Pinnacle Hoops made its mark representing Eastern European players including Darko Milicic, Beno Udrih and four former Nets, Nenad Krstic, Zoran Planinic, Bostjan Nachbar and Mile Ilic. Over the past two seasons, Fegan's firm represented nine different Nets at one point or another: Humphries, Troy Murphy, Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston, Yi Jianlian, Jarvis Hayes, Quinton Ross, Eduardo Najera and Stephen Graham. He was close to the Nets former GM, Kiki Vandeweghe.

i'm looking at this
udrih, darko, and boki we can all say are overpaid for doing nothing more than being solid role players. well not for boki since he’s not in the league anymore.
i dont care what anyone says. you cannot overlook the contract year onus. i want hump to be rewarded but i dont want him become a mini version of peja or erick dampier(get paid for the past or promise from the past that “led up” to the contract year spike)
if we are going to throw more than 7 mil a year at him might as well let him test the market and see how much it can take to get nene and chuck hayes(together) to better compliment brooks defeciencies

i like Hump but he just isnt worth more than 5-6mil
Nene and Lopez or Dwight would be a monster inside out combo
Nene is a decent shooter from 15 feet
First read through I thought the opposite
agent is heavily connected to the nets and should help deal get done

Let the front office deal with it. Proky has the money to spend. he’s smart with his money n knows wat to do with it. ya’ll act like ur paying the players!

because of the salary cap
this isnt baseball with no cap.

wow how does fegan still have a job
there’s ony one guy that will be playing decent minutes next year and expecting a pay raise when his contract is up
then i look at cornstein and all those guys save for krstic(due to his acl injury) all have something in common. they were all bench scrubs at a point and became overpaid(boki taking his talents to europe)

I dont see him getting more than 7yr. He wants to be in the area and loves the team and knows what they are trying to do. This is a good case where front loading will come in handy.
i wish they could "roller coaster" the contract
front load next year to help match salaries for a certain center
rescind the pay scale the next year just in case brook take his QO
up it again the next year

hump or nene?
lets be real
if hump wants more than amir johnson and nene wants 15 mil a year. what do you do?
then all it comes down to is dumping salary to get marcus thortnon and derons closest roaddog cj miles
besides nene’s proven track record makes otis more willing to pick up the phone and his salary makes it easier to throw in less pieces just to match salaries.
if you were an orlando fan and you knew dwight was gone and they were trading with the nets. what do you react to better:
Lopez and Hump or Lopez and Nene?

depends..it would be great if we could wait on negotiations with hump til da end of offseason
with Orlando continued statements of not trading howard and looking at who we sign this offseason, if we dont do much we could frontline his contract
I don't buy Otis
one bit with his statement of, “we’re not trading Howard”. And the reason I say this is because they will look to get atleast some value in return, otherwise, there franchise will be in a HUGE HOLE.
BEASLEY'S on the block
we made the mistake of not grabbing him a few years ago…..what can we do to get him???? Draft picks and what…..james or farmar (lol they dont really need more pgs), or morrow?

You gotta ask yourself...
why is Beasley on the block ? When another team wants to get rid of their own player, a red flag should immediately go up.
" I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin', My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, If I only had a brain"
he's obviously a head case
but a talented one……they clearly want to draft dwilliams #2 so they know beaseys got some value after a good year

Sorry but..
Humphries isn’t getting the money that waste of space player Outlaw got. What I would do is wait and see if Howard becomes available. In this case, if he is, Otis and King can work out a deal where the Nets sign and trade Humphries along with Lopez, picks, James, and Farmar.
Fegan is Howard's agent
At first I thought it was a good thing to loosen up our ties to Fegan, but then I found out that he represents Dwight. I guess we should pick up Graham’s second year option :(
Critical Success!
This may be a good thing
If Howard somehow becomes available and we can sign Humphries a nice sized deal and then trade him, it takes less of burden on us to get rid of so many players. Humphries, Lopez, picks, James, cash considerations, and TPE should do it.
and it wouldnt even be that much
4 years for 24 mil with an option for 5th.
nets dump atrocious player and save a million on much better player

Wouldn't be about that I think
But outside things Proky can make Hump a lot of money in other aspects.
"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."
Plus, when you're in The City you don't NEED a massive contract
Hump already has the exposure necessary to sign the big endorsement deals.
i mean besides udonis haslem for obvious reasons
how many players take paycuts in their prime to stay?
gilbert arenas. GSW offered him 70 mil. but he leaves for the 100 mil washington gave even though he was loved in the oakland communtiy and GSW organization and seemed poised for a playoff run the next year
steve nash. all the great years he had in dallas and he still bolts for phoenix because he was going to get at least 15 mill less
elton brand: coming off torn achilles, baron davis comes down after his all-star year and he still bolts for philly
kenyon martin- although there were other complications with that
this list can go on forever. players chase the money. its just the gm’s dont force them to take what they are truly worth

What 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."
I still think he is TBH
And don’t put so much on the Kardashian thing. The family are famewhores, but if Kim is already talking about where she’s gonna live in the NY/NJ area then it sounds like their mind is made up.
Obviously things can happen, but they are planning to be here.
This Kris Humphries situation...
is going to be very interesting. I honestly don’t know what we should. So many variables involved at this point in time.
" I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin', My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, If I only had a brain"
It'll be interesting on which teams would overpay to get Hump. :)
Brooklyn, Where Nets Basketball Happen.
http://twitter.com/#!/jamesisahero07
hump will be overpaid someone
let him walk imo and try to sell kim on living in phoenix
deron williams is better than kyrie irving
Kim already announced that they will be get a place to live in New Jersey soon.
Kim and Kris ain’t going anywhere.
Besides, Phoenix already has 53 million committed to next season.
Why are you always trying to send Hump somewhere he doesn’t want to go to?
Hump’s Net Worth is estimated to be $8 million, mostly from his Burger chain of stores with his dad in Minny.
He would make more additional endorsement money by staying with Kim and Nets in Brooklyn than by getting a bigger contract elsewhere.
Besides, no other team could possibly be in both a better situation 1. cap wise, 2. in terms of playing time, and 3. having DWill to make him look better. And those 3 factors don’t even consider the most important reason – Kim Humphries.
Hump will be a Net next season.
I WANT NENE!!!!
Whether we keep hump or not!!! He’s the perfect pick and pop player for Dwill and he has a smooth 15 foot J and is an intimidating defender….how many 4’s can hit that midrange jumper consistently?

Karl wants him back and is planning on talking with Nene soon.
He may accept the extension being discussed, ahead of the new CBA.
And even if he opts out, Denver is willing to pay top dollar, which the Nets can’t afford before Dwight Howard is settled.
Nets can’t get greedy and risk blowing everything. They have to lock up Hump and DWill (by getting a team good enough to make playoffs, with DWill included in the mix).
Maybe Hump feared that Fegan could push to include him in a trade for Howard.
Hump clearly wants only to stay in NYC and play for Nets.
He will have to take a discount. Otherwise Billy King should be fired.
I have to think this is good news for getting Hump at better terms, and keeping him with the Nets.
Besides, I would rather trade Lopez+Morrow than Lopez+Hump for Howard.
What does anyone think farmar and some draft picks could snatch us in a trade?

Kirilenko knows D-Will very well and vice-a-versa.

Kirilenko can play SF/PF…

Still think the smartest course of action at PF is trading for Josh Smith
(as if it were that simple)…
2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.

NENE...
Nene would be a nice addition, but he is looking to get paid and he is already 11.6 million if he picks up the option and stays with Denver, so i’m not sure if he realistic for us. In order for us to be major players we have to find some way to rid ourselves of Outlol contract, that contract has got to be a thorn in BK’s side. I could see us trading for a wing (I.E. Granger, Rudy Gay, iguadala) if that is the case, i dont see us going after Nene, Josh Smith maybe, but who can know, there are so many loop holes and possibilities with the Nets it’s tough trying to speculate what we can actually do and what we will do. So, it’s really up in the air and i think BK and Proky know it.
Anyone have any link to a rumor mentioned by AndresB about following trade?
Outlaw+Morrow for Artest + Steve Blake?
If Lakers really like Morrow and dislike Artest going forward, it would be possible.
i dont want artest
if we dont want earl why would we want artest….he’s on the downside of his career anyway and totally cant create his own shot

Outlaw sucks, but he’s not a headcase
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.

his play is a detriment to the team
i think he is a headcase.
i’m pretty sure there was a point last season for every other nets player where they wanted to slap outlaw silly for being garbage

When you consider...
That we will need a back up center, you guys dont think Wilcox would be a better option that petro? You guys dont like Miles over Morrow?? you guys dont like Wilson Chandler over what we have right now at the SF spot????
We already have 3 million a year committed to Petro. While we definitely need to upgrade, how much more money can we really afford to waste on the backup center spot?
As for Miles, I don’t see him as an upgrade as Morrow and he also appears to have less upside.
As for Chandler, he’s got injury concerns and probably going to be overpaid

Miles has more upside than Morrow tho
Bigger can play defense, way more athletic, and can create for himself.

As lukewarm as I am about most of the list
I guess I could be receptive to Jamal Crawford. He’s a better scorer than JR Smith and I hate JR Smith. Plus, he’s very good off the dribble, and seeing how The Heat close out on spot up shooters, we need someone who can knock down a few shots off the dribble.

Crawford probably isn’t the long term answer. He’s going to make a lot of money and is already 31.

As far as Trades are concerned, what do ya’ll think BK has up his sleave? if any…
BK sneaks up to #2 somehow
drafts derrick williams as the Nets PF of the future, and destroys hump’s leverage. then signs hump for a reasonable contract to platoon in what will become a very formidable front court.

trade up to the mid-first round and grab chris singleton, and then pay hump a little more.

How is Thad Young's defense
because if we are going to get him at SF, he will need to be able to defend Lebron at least adequately.
I have no problem getting him because he’s athletic but he seems more like a small ball four
That's the thing tho
He’s already had a taste this playoff season.
He’s only 22 or 23, he’s going to get better. His great athleticism and length and motor will make him a very good defensive player. Hopefully, under Mr. Johnson’s tutelage, he can become that.

Andres:
Your analysis that Thad Young has no position in this league is purely false. He is a SF who plays some 4 when need be. He has an outside game, showing it off throughout his career when placed at the 3 position, making 1 three per game in more than one season. You can never draw comparisions to Outlaw because of this; Outlaw had never previuosly had the type of success in this league that Young has had, young is 22 years old, and their situations were completely different – Outlaw thrived in his role with Portland: a guy who was not relied upon to score, someone who need to set up for his jumper and do other things besides try to create his own shot like we have seen with the Nets. Young is a PROVEN guy. He is a former 15 ppg scorer when he was 20 years old. If he continued on that track, he would have been a garunteed all-star CANDIDATE (i did not say all-star), and a prolific scorer in this league with great defense capapbilities. Instead, Andre iguodala took over his position at the 3, he was forced to play backup 4 and therefore never fully developed or used his jumper.
We know that you want Kirilenko. A guy who is turning 31, way past his prime of 3 blocks and steals per night, has not played more than 67 games in each of the last 3 years including 64 last year, avergaed 11.7 ppg with 5 reb, 1 stl and 1 blk, shot 46.7% and made 0.6 threes per game. When you compare this to Young, Thad averaged 12.7 ppg, 5 reb, shot 54%, and got 1 stl per game.
We can either go with Andrei Kirilenko for a couple years, hoping that hes knees hold up and the 31 year old can still get up and down blocking shots and playing defense, or we could go for a 22 year old who has averaged 15 ppg before, a great wing defender who will help us for years to come. Remember that the team to beat for years to come is the Heat.Deron wants vets but he also wants guys athletic enough to keep up with the heat. If Kirilenko would take the MLE, and we can sign Young I would do it, but if Kirilenko is going to want big money that will count against our cap space, there is no way I want him.

What?
If he continued on that track, he would have been a garunteed all-star CANDIDATE (i did not say all-star)
No. Not even close.
Yeah, he had a 15 ppg season while playing 35 mpg, solid but nothing special, certainly far away from an All-Star candidate if he had continued “on that track”… he regressed after that year and magically plays well on a contract season this year. Um, yeah.
He has proved that he can’t be a starter. The last thing we need to do is overspend on a guy who is clearly NOT a starter, let alone on the position which is not his primary position.
As for comparing his perimeter shot with Outlaw, Outlaw actually has a better 3 pt % in his career than Young.
AK is a clearly superior player, way better ballhandler and passer and way more complete. Young has no passing skills at all, which is something we need to stay away from. No to guys with such tunnel vision. AK is the better and more versailte defender and the way better shotblocker. Who cares about age? AK is the way better fit and the superior player and Deron said he wants veterans who are proven, that is the bottom line.
Players like Young (and Davis, Greeen, JR) are exactly the kind of players we need to stay away from.

Like it or not?
You’re talking about the same people who also liked Travis Outlaw?
Young doesn’t fit into the description of the type of players Deron said we need to sign, that’s the bottom line.
And I don’t see Young’s defensive greatness… He will never be as versatile a defender as AK is, AK is the much more versatile defender, as he can possibly guard up to 4 different positions… he’s also a much better shotblocker… way more complete defender overall, no doubt.
You can’t each how to pass the basketball… AK is one of the best assers among frontcourt players in the league… Young can’t pass, simple as that, kid has complete tunnel vision… we need smarter and more complete players, IMO… AK is also the superior ballhandler…
If our FO is dumb enough to try to overpay for him, I really hope Rod saves us again and matches our offer.
Also, Kirilenko is not 31 and will not be 31 until Feb 2012.
And Young is not a “great” defender, let alone a wing one, he is a combo forwaord/ tweener, 3/4 whatever you prefer… certinaly not a wing.
Deron doesn’t care about age, and in fact age would be a reason why we could get AK for less years and money… we would be getting the better players while spending less, where’s the problem?
I dont care how old Kirilenko's age is

Hump is the best available PF in the market right now(Not including trades)
Nene would have to opt out of 12 mill which means he will want more than 12 mill which is WAY too much for him. I like Nene but not for that much $$. David West is solid but got injured and is not very good on D. Lopez/West would be a terrible front court on D. Someone like Josh Smith would be perfect for us but we can’t get him without giving up Lopez, so no. AK47 and Thad Young Look like will be our targets in this offseason. I like those 2 player because they are versatile. Young can play 2/3/4 and ak47 3/4.
Williams/Farmar/Yatta
Young/Morrow
AK47/James
Hump/?
Lopez/?
Also there are some solid players in the draft that could really help us.

A few things:
Just because he’s opting out of the $12 million he’ll receive this season does not mean that he’ll want more than $12 million a year. It could indicate two things: either he no longer wants to play in Denver, or he wants to have more security (in terms of a longer contract) and feels this is the time to cash-out, or a combination of both. Of course he’ll want as much as he can get, but opting out doesn’t signal that he’s going to refuse a salary close to $12 million.
I like Nene.
You do? I remember you saying he was overrated and nothing special. Interesting.
$12 million is not too much for Nene. We’ve gone over this before.
I like him as a player, but not at 12+ million dollars per year.
I think him and Dwill would thrive together. Especially if you add in Lopez to the mix.
If what you say is true that mnaybe he wants a long time commitment rather than 12 mill per, I’d rather have him over hump, but that’s just me. The problem here is we don’t know what he wants. An amnesty on Outlaw’s contract would really help us here since we’d be able to get 4 good players. Hump, Nene + 2 Wing players(AK47 AND T Young for example)
Williams/Farmar/Yatta
Young/Morrow
AK47/James
Nene/Hump
Lopez/ Petro
And that’s not including the draft.

What the Nets really need to do is improve their DEFENSE. When Dwill played for us offense was not the issue, but our D was horrendous. This is why getting guys like JR smith makes no sense. We need athletic wings that can most importantly defense and of course not be a liability on O and score if they need to. Brook and Dwill when healthy can give you 20+ each. And guys like Morrow/James/Farmar/Hump can always chip in especially having Dwill running the team and setting them up.
Nets needs:
- Lopez hit the gym and improve his defense and rebounding.
- Dwill needs to heal and learn the playbooks.
- Get athletic wings that can defend.
- Resign the Hump at a solid price
- Have a good draft.
If they can do this, 50 wins and a strong playoffs push is not out of the question.

So you're saying that J.R. Smith can't be a good defender?
He certainly has the physical tools; he just needs to be coached. One would hope that Avery Johnson is the type of coach who can take a player with tools and translate them into production.
Remember LeBron James used to be a below average defender? Now look at him.
I just don't think the Nets realistically would give him a chance.
They want a top classy organization from the players, coaches to the top. JR Smith doesn’t exactly fit in. This is why guys like Twill and CDR are not here anymore. The Twill trade was a joke and terrible trade BTW.

Jr has bettere tools though.

What gives you the impression that the Nets "want a top class organization?"
Aside from King’s quick quote about brining in high IQ and character players.
He's not a guy you want to be next to in the fox hole. Can't trust him in a big spot.
Pass.
2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.
i agree with most of your concepts
Idk about you but i dont like my point guard needing to average 20 pts a game; we’ll be a really good team if Dwill can average it without any effort
Dwill also need someone with him in the backcourt dat is super althetic, handle the ball and score at will, which would warn off double teams
I agree we need a solid 3rd option
but it’s not a necessity,

Wait, what?
The Nets need something, but it’s not a necessity?
Please explain.
sorry I had a brain fart.
What I mean to say is that it would be nice to have a 3rd option but is not necessary.

Necessary for what?
Is it necessary to capture the 7th or 8th seed? Probably not. But is it necessary if the Nets hope to be in the upper-half of the East? I’d say so.

I understand what you mean when you say

but this isnt the same as Harris scoring 20 pts. I was always against Harris scoring 20pt, but Dwill makes other around him better. he also is a better 3pt shooter then Harris. So Dwill wont be driving to the basket and putting up bricks when he is triple teamed and three guys are open.

so if we are signing hump for sure
and we need both a 2 and a 3….if we have to frontload an offer to get one….which would u guys think is the more pressing need……..is it the 2 cause morrow cant create or defend, or is it the 3 because basically outlaw is there?
Where is the more pressing need

historically in the NBA
when a conference power takes shape (miami now), the smart teams in the same conference start building their teams specifically to match up and exploit the reigning power.
so my guess is that billy king is looking for a strong, athletic lock down defender who can guard multiple postions to match up w/ lebron/wade. i’m hoping damion james develops into a player like this also.
obviously we need more scoring too, but a lot of great regular season scoring teams were shut down by miami and weren’t able to match up w/ lebron and wade
imagine something extremely witty here
wade's the real problem, not lebron
put your team in a scenario where lebron is the only guy who can do something. why? lebron’s resume already proven that he cannot carry the load alone, wade on da other hand have no problem with being the only option
i think wade's got 2-3 yrs maximum
at this level. lebron might have 5.
but the thing that makes the tandem so dangerous is that at any moment either one can explode and put the game out of reach.
and if you put a travis outlaw level defender on lebron, you’ve got absolutely no shot.

Later, Iannazzone wrote that Humphries is unlikely to get a better deal than with the Nets, noting not just the minutes and presence of Deron Williams, but also the endorsement opportunities that playing in New York (aka Brooklyn) will provide him. He also noted the future Mrs. Humphries has already said they will be house-hunting in New Jersey.
Innazzone didn’t write any of that. JERRY however did when he commented on what Al wrote.
Oh, Net Income…LOL
I thought it souded familiar (LOL)
Net Income is slipping.
I love the North Jersey.com format.
It makes the comments look as significant as the article itself.
NI must agree though with my thoughts. But Zzone would never be so bold to say what I did.
No agent would talk to him again if he said:
Cornstein will still get 5% of a smaller figure than he would prefer, but he won’t be complaining on the way to his bank.
BK negotiating Humphries contract
BK – “Mark, we’re ready to offer Kris a front-loaded contract worth 30 mill over 5 years”
Mark – “Kris’ market value is well over 30 mill, you don’t get many PFs averaging a double-double these days. Plus, you get the added benefit of Mrs. Humphries presence courtside for years to come.”
BK – “Hmm …yes (salivating) … we’re going off topic. Bottomline is we think the offer is very competitive.”
Mark – “Tell you what, you up the offer to 40 mill over 5 … plus I’ll arrange a night with you and Kim and we’ll call it a deal”
BK – “Ooh … yeah”

I wouldn't mind Young, the Hump and Thorton as our 2,3,4 with Brook and Deron
Also, get a decent player in the draft, perhaps Brooks. That would be a successful offseason for this team.
We would still need a backup power forward
Deron, Farmar, Gaines
Thorton, Morrow, Brooks
Young, James, Outlaw
Hump, ( )
Brook, Petro
