Bored Broussard Tries Hand at GM

Chris Broussard is bored like the rest of us. So he came up with a proposal that would reignite the Mavericks title hopes. What he came up with was a four-team, nine-player, one-pick trade that would send Deron Williams to Dallas and Brook Lopez to Milwaukee in return for Brandon Jennings, Paul Millsap and Tyson Chandler.
It's all based on a scenario where "the Nets' plan to lure Dwight Howard to the Northeast failed, so D-Will, faced with the prospect of playing lottery-ball for the rest of his career, began looking elsewhere. Enter the Mavericks, who think (rightly) that D-Will and Dirk can keep them in title contention."
Broussard's starting line-up: Jennings, Marshon Brooks, Millsap, Kris Humphries, Chandler.

this is the WORST deal ever
So we lose Lopez and D-Will for Jennings, Chandler, and Millsap? HA! If we are trading D-Will to rebuild, why trade Lopez? Its like we are giving away our player to make other teams better….
Chris must be really busy listening to his old Wailers CD's during this lockout...

I'm not sure why you guys are upset.
The article is aptly named — “How Mavs (not Nets) Can Remain Contenders.”
I think Deron Williams’ dream scenario would be to play in Dallas, but it seems near impossible for them to generate the cap-space necessary to surround him with a championship-level team.
I will still be surprised if the Nets begin their 2012 season without Dwight Howard in uniform.
If you're interested, you can follow me @TokenNBR.
I think everyone understands that,
but for us to include Brook in that deal to a completely separate team makes 0 sense.
One could make a better argument that D Will is worth those three players alone.

Of course it's a horrible deal, but it's one in which the Mavericks could semi-realistically -- from fans' minds, not from that of a rational human being -- obtain Deron Williams.
Plus: Didn’t you title this thread “Bored Broussard Tries Hand at GM” for a reason?

others trade proposal made by others ESPN writers in this asinine series of trade ideas
include LeBron for Dwight.
Part of the deal...
is that the Nets must also extended Outlaw’s contract to 2018 with a pay increase…

Broussard fails to realize there wont be an NBA this season
so its moot, very likely Deron and Dwight opt out after new CBA is finally negotiated sometime in 2012
really dont understand some people that actually expect basketball this season, i dont see it happening at all
If the season is cancelled
it’s possible that the owners and players could agree to push back all the contracts one year.
really?? i hope so but i havent read that anywhere

Coon points out to that as one of the possibilities if the entire season is wiped out in his lockout FAQ on ESPN, Makes sense to me, but it depends on the negotiations, if the entire season is canceled and the players have to cave to the owners’ demands I think they could at least get that. we’ll see.

Besides how ridiculous this trade idea is...
Broussard originally wrote that Milwaukee should ship out John Salmons…who is already on the kings. SMH. How did he get hired by ESPN?
NBA-TV had a segment last night
Where they discussed the lockout and contract negotiations, and pulled up footage from the lockout in the 90’s that was almost IDENTICAL to what we are hearing now in August.
Players don’t want hard cap! The league offended us with their proposal. Nobody is being serious! We thought we made a good offer!
Gives me some hope we’ll have a season, but at this point, it’s gotta be a half of one.

Wasn't he the one who said that Dwill genuinely wanted to stay om the Nets?
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
Here's a real way that Dallas would remain title contenders. But it would take a year of strategic moves
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=3n7gm5h
Fill out the roster with scrubs for a year/nobody more than a 1 year contract.
They would then have 29 million committed committed in salary going into the 2012 offseason so depending on what we’ve heard about the new salary cap (anywhere from 45 million to 62 million), they would have anywhere between 16 to 35 million in cap space (31 if the cap remains at 58 million) meaning they could definitely sign Deron Williams and possibly sign Dwight Howard to pair with Dirk.
I know this is a Nets blog and you’re probably not interested in hearing about how Dallas could possibly get Williams, but I feel like what I’ve just posted is a lot more realistic than what Broussard posted, because it doesn’t require Billy King or any other GM to be completely retarded.
That said, I think that Williams will pick up his player option in 2012-13, there’s no way he leaves nearly 19 million in guaranteed money on the table, especially when it looks like there will be salary reductions for players.
The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
Bring Back Dre.
wow really i'll violate espn for PHX fans for free!
How come PHX will give up expiring contract for 25+mills Marion contract and Heywood 46+mill contract and they would have 3 centers that cant shoot properly? i think PHX looking for future draft picks Nash and VC friendly contracts just like Murphy’s.

I have lost every ounce of respect I have ever had for Chris Broussard. This is perhaps by far the dumbest trade idea anyone has ever come up with in the history of basketball. Fine the article address how the Dallas mavericks will remain in contention and sure Deron Williams will make them contenders but to believe any GM in there right mind will consider approving such a deal is just utmostly stupid and dumb.not only is deron going to the Mavericks but also the Nets will trade Brook Lopez to Millwakue? Seriously Mr. Broussard you were on the Sarah palin pill when u wrote the article….

It doesn’t take much talent to get on the ESPN airwaves and BLOW HARD.
This is the
worst proposed trade I have ever seen.
You would think that since this guy covers the NBA he would have more sense.
Dwill and Lopez for Jennings. That is what this trade comes down to.
All the other pieces are garbage.

I predict
—Dwight Howard will be traded right after the lockout ends….not saying where.
—MarShon Brooks will turn out to be a better pick than either of the Jazz picks at #3 and #12.
—Ricky Rubio will be rookie of the year and it won’t be close (well, assuming there is a season).
—Bojan Bogdanovic will be traded before he ever plays for the Nets.
—Deron Williams will sign an extension soon after the lockout ends and with the Nets.
—David Stern won’t be commissioner in 2014.
—Nene will be a Net.
—Someone who goes overseas will be hurt.
—Yi will play in the NBA and not in China and there will be reports the Nets are interested in him.
—Landry Fields will be traded by the Knicks for something of little value.
I am exhausted.
what?!?!?!?!?
Yi will play in the NBA and not in China and there will be reports the Nets are interested in him.
Could you imagine it?
Outlaw, Petro and Yi on the same team.
Yeah, I guess if the Nets wanted Deron to leave they’d bring Yi back.
Yi is a valuable marketing commodity
with Yao, Sun Yue gone, he is only Chinese player likely to put in time in the NBA this season.
Not saying the Nets will sign him or that they will be interested, just that it’s a natural.
And if Yi had given up on NBA, he would have already signed with a Chinese team. He hasn’t.
Okay.
On Dwight, I’d venture the reason you aren’t saying where he’d be traded to is because there is a good chance it isn’t to us. And I would agree with that. I still think that if he’s traded it’s going to be the Lakers.
As for Marshon, I think he’ll be about as good as Kanter. I’d love to see him do better of course.
Assuming there is a season, I think Rubio makes a lot of sense as ROY, but watch out for Irving.
I’ve got nothing on Bojan. Makes sense considering he won’t play for us for at least year, if at all.
On Deron, I hope you’re right, and I do not think that’s out of the question at all, which others would disagree with.
I barely see anyone who likes Stern, so yeah, I doubt he is around much longer.
As for Nene, another thing I would hope for. I the Nets have been taking a good look at him this summer.
Better not be Deron who gets hurt.
Yi? Really? That makes me think you have info about the Nets keeping an eye on him. I’d like to know why you think the Nets would ever be interested in Yi again.
I don’t think anyone is too high on Fields after that playoff performance. So yeah, I bet the Knicks will try to get him off their hands. Don’t know who will do it though.

yes but then he says
Bojan Bogdanovic will be traded before he ever plays for the Nets.
after saying
Dwight Howard will be traded right after the lockout ends….not saying where.
Maybe he means Bojan will go in a package for Dwight and never play a game with the Nets, because what other reason is there for us to trade him?
I would think that maybe the Magic would be interested in Bojan.
I think a package would be like Brook, Morrow or MarShon, Bojan, at least 2 picks and someone else.

One thing that tells me Dwight is ready to leave
is the fact that he left the extension offer on the table. Melo wanted his money badly and wanted it prior to the lockout. Dwight didn’t care and left it on the table. But thing is, which team will be able to afford him that is a threat for ORL? We’ll have to wait and see how the new CBA looks like, but for isntance if there’s a season and we spend on free agents we aren’t going to have enough cap room for him in 2012, neither will Dallas, NY and of course the Lakers. So if that is the case and you’re Otis, why trade him? If I’m Otis and Dwight tells me he is leaving, I’d tell him well enjoy making the MLE in LA.
you also said Dwight would be traded before June 30th, =)

Other than Nene signing with the Nets and DWill extending with us (provided we bring the players he wants) I doubt any of your predictions will happen. I find the Rubio and Brooks ones truly far-fetched.
Read Pruiti's analysis of Kanter's performance in Europe
and I found numerous reports of Brooks outplaying Alec Burks in workouts with at least one respected writer saying Brooks killed him.
Rubio in a running game will be Kidd II.
Well, according to a Bulls beatwriter Jimmy Butler dominated Brooks in a workout in Chicago and that doesn’t mean he will be better than him.
I know Kanter is an enigma because he couldn’t play with Kentucky last year. But I’ve watched footage of him in international junior competitions and I believe he has some serious potential. But he was playing against kids so that may mean little, I have to admit that.
We’ve gone through the Rubio debate before, I will just say comparing him Kidd is sacrilege, especially after he had such a terrible, horrible season this year.
Can you post the link to Pruiti's analysis?
Thanx.
Btw, Sebastian is going to work with an NBDL team, I’m happing for him.
—Dwight Howard will be traded right after the lockout ends….not saying where.
I agree on this one. I think magic are screwed and they know they are.
—MarShon Brooks will turn out to be a better pick than either of the Jazz picks at #3 and #12.
I think he will be good but that is maybe a stretch.
—Ricky Rubio will be rookie of the year and it won’t be close (well, assuming there is a season).
this a bold prediction. When was the last time a ROY won avg less then 10 points and 8+ assists per game.
—Bojan Bogdanovic will be traded before he ever plays for the Nets.
I like this kid, but if it is for Howard, bye bye Bojan.
—Deron Williams will sign an extension soon after the lockout ends and with the Nets.
NI, I dont think this is a prediction. Hasnt Dwill said that he wants to deal with his extension as soon as the lockout is done.
—David Stern won’t be commissioner in 2014.
If he gets a deal done to save the season, I think he is there until the next CBA expires.
—Nene will be a Net.
Maybe but what if your first prediction comes true and the Nets are in the running to get Howard.
—Someone who goes overseas will be hurt.
That can happen here too.
—Yi will play in the NBA and not in China and there will be reports the Nets are interested in him.
I agree with you. I actually think he might be a Net. As bad as he was and as much as people hate Yi on this board, I think he can be a serviceable and cheap back up PF/C. He was never a starter. This coaching staff will not do what Frank/Kiki staff did. Yi will come off the bench NO pressure and score 8-9 points and 4-5 rbs in limited time.
—Landry Fields will be traded by the Knicks for something of little value.
NI, This will definitely happen. The Knicks will not be able to afford Fields especially if this season is cancelled.

2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star

Or trade Bogut but you can’t play both of them and Bogut is a far superior defender/rebounder so I guess that’s why I don’t make the deal, and Jennnings isn’t as bad as you say.

Breaking news ! China locks out NBA players...
http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/31396796
On Thursday morning, Eastern time, Chinese outlets started reporting that Kobe Bryant had signed a deal with the Shanxi Zhongyu of the CBA. The move would send ripples throughout the basketball world as the most iconic NBA player would be playing overseas in a lucrative market. Finally, a big star beyond Deron Williams has agreed to play overseas.
Or… not.
Sports 163 along with multiple outlets are now reporting that at the CBA meetings, the league approved a rule to block outright any NBA player currently under contract with the NBA from playing in the CBA. That gets around previously discussed loopholes to proposed rules to block opt-outs. If you say outright you can’t sign any player, no under-the-tables deals can be adopted.
