Would Nets Trade D-Will If They Failed In "Dwightmare"?

it all seems so speculative, reports about the latest permutations in the "Dwightmare." With the Nets doing so poorly, now there are discussions of what would happen if the Nets failed in their pursuit of Dwight Howard and then were faced with a Deron Williams trade request...not that there's any indication one is coming.

Marc Stein writes in the Weekend Dime about those prospects. He asks, is there any scenario where the Nets would consider dealing Deron Williams? Quoting "sources briefed on New Jersey's thinking", he answers his own question this way: "If Howard is traded to the Lakers before the deadline, sources say New Jersey would then be forced to explore its D-Will trade options, knowing that Williams would be a virtual lock to leave come July".

But if Howard goes to a team not on his preferred list, Stein speculates that the Nets would wait in hopes of bringing Howard on as a free agent.

Said it in another thread but....

When Stein quotes “sources briefed on New Jersey’s thinking”, couldn’t he have just as easily said “somebody who could imagine what the Nets would do gave somebody else a a quick synopsis and then that person told me”? Because that’s all this is. With that rationale, any one of us could be Stein’s source.

ESPN's reporters need to get the Axe....

I’m so tired of these “reports” and speculations, that are purely posted to drive internet traffic.

The reputable and factual reports are as follows:

Deron has said that he is 90% going to re-sign with the Nets.
Dwight Howard has listed the Nets as his preferred destination, with consideration also given to Dallas and LA.

Nothing else is fact! Everything else is speculation because there are no new reports with any traffic behind it. ESPN needs to keep the ratings up so they manufacture these reports.

We’re not trading D-Will. He may leave in Free Agency, but we’re not going to hit the panic button on this endeavor. If D-Will demands a trade, and tells the Nets he’s not re-signing that’s the only way he get’s traded, and he’s not going to do that.

With Lebron, Cleveland had 7 years to build a contender. With Dwight, Orlando had 7 years to build a contender. With Deron, we’ve had a lock out shortened off-season.

This season is irrelevant. Deron may leave us in Free Agency, but he’s not going to demand a trade. If we have a chance at re-signing him, which as of last REPORT was 90%, why would we deal him?

This is Marc Stein, generating page hits for ESPN, with some logical, yet completely contrived notion that our Front Office is panicking. In other words, it’s total horse manure.

Why?

Deron has never said it has to be Dwight. In fact he’s said Brook Lopez is a really good young player. He’s said Hump has game.

Throw in Brooks, who D-Will seems fond of, a potential draft class of Anthony Davis and Terrence Jones, and enough cap space to go after a player like Dwight, or at the very least a couple of players like AK-47, and you have a really exciting young team, heading to Brooklyn next year.

How much better is Dallas really, in that case? Dirk at 34 years old an who else? Maybe he’ll go to Philadelphia, if they amnesty Brand…but they already have a solid young PG in Jrue Holiday. They’d be much more interested in Dwight Howard (and as a basketball fan, I have to say, that if Dwight added Philly to his list, I’d be excited to see it).

There is no reason to trade D-Will. He’d have to move his family and take less money to go elsewhere, and the upside of our team is beyond that of just about any other team in the league.

D-Will see’s the big picture…Why can’t you?

The thing is, if Dwight is traded on march 15 at 3 pm, how would we be able to trade dwill if the deadline has pasted?

So the only way the nets “explore” there options on dwill trade is if Dwight is traded days before march 15

by GameTime on Jan 15, 2012 1:20 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

What Stein is saying is Nets only would consider trading DWill if Dwight is traded to LA

If he isn’t the dream will be still alive so they’ll have no reason to give up on it by giving DWill away.

The Nets di have some questionable managment

but I’m sure they would know before the last day of the deadline if they can get Howard or not.

And IF the Dwightmare falls through...

The only things we should entertain are another top 5 pick in this year’s draft besides our own. Otherwise, keep the cap space and start from square one. Any big name we could somehow swing in a trade for DWill won’t be good enough to make us a championship contender, so start young. And keep the ticket prices at Izod/Pru levels for those of us buying on stubhub!

by JohnFromLongIsland on Jan 15, 2012 1:21 PM EST reply actions  

Proky will not trade D-Will, even if D-Will tells him he's out !!!

His math is simple, Dwill has much more to lose than him (Proky).

Also, D-Will will not have that many options that will blow him away (comparing to Brooklyn) that includes Dallas scenario.

Think about it ….

- You will still have B-Lo (one of the better young centers in the league)
- MarSwag for whom D-Will acknowledged that will be special
- High pick(s)
- Plenty of space (players will become available … y ou better believe that).

The problem is

every aspect of this team is horrible and has been bad for the longest. There are a few luminous spots, but I wouldn’t call it bright spots. This team heads into Brooklyn with a bad team, its no less different than playing at The Brick in NJ. Same name, same franchise, same history, might even be same or worse results.

OK ... lets look back!

Team was not that bad until Rat took over (we know the rest), but even when they made finals twice ( they were still viewed as bad. Why? cause of weak support by fans, and Swamp location). That will change in Brooklyn!

Franchise is brand new, when you have a new ownership with bottomless pockets and willing to invest from top to bottom (see recent mgmt additions and other perks that Nets have as an organization).

Some monkeys need a change of place to excel. There are many smart and talented people that can’t do jack on their current place. Once they move somewhere else they excel. You can find many examples in various fields.

I do agree, with most points but

if this team was so bad for there entire franchise. Outside of the Kidd Era, how we we’re contracted is beyond me. And if the Finals team was viewed as “bad” wait until you see how we are going to be viewed when we are bad. There is no denying that many and I mean many outside of anything or anyone associated with the Nets think that #8 won’t leave. No matter how nice the factors look with the move to Brooklyn, it looks more and more if people are trying to convince themselves more than others.

D-Will will not be traded nowhere, even if he tells them that he’s leaving 100%.

You might have to get more familiar of how people like Proky think.

He does not get involved in day to day as he stated, but major decision have a foundation that is set by him.

In my opinion he told BK, Dwill is going nowhere as far as trades whether he stays or leaves at the end.

You're right, this isn't like Orlando.

Cause Deron has no true connection with this team.

If Dwight is dealt to LAL, believe Deron will let Billy know if Dwight is going to extend with them and we’ll trade him somewhere if we can get big value that makes sense if Deron is likely out.

That is the doomsday scenario though and I honestly doubt it comes to that.

Why do people assume that even if we don't land Dwight Nets can't do anything to top what DAL or any other team can offer DWill from a bbal standpoint?

We still have plenty of assets to get another good player in here, not a superstar as Dwight, but with our young core and a solid vet addition (ie GWallace) we would look better when committing long term than a declining Dirk and nothing else. See what numbers he’s putting up. If you think he’s gonna magically beat father time for the period of time a max free agent like DWill would have to sign there you’re kidding yourself.

yea

but at the same time, while Favors has moments, there’s no guarantee either of them will become legit NBA starters. They’re probably holding onto Jefferson and Millsap to see how their young picks will pan, and like most rookies, they’d rather not throw in the fire of starters minutes right away.

Jefferson wasn’t as good on the Celtics nor was Millsap that good coming off the bench even though he had moments as well. I don’t think there playoff bound in the West, so I think there big men are just trade bait. Too much money invested into those guys to be a lottery team.

You know what....

The heck with it…Go for Smith! Okur, Farmar, and the Rockets Pick and Miami’s pick.

At the very least that leaves us our 1st rounder and this starting line up going into next season, and I’ll get to the cap space…

1 – Deron Williams! He re-signs if we land Smith I think.
- $18.5 Million
2 – MarShon Brooks
- $1.231 Million
3 – Harrison Barnes (Smith+Lopez/Howard means no Davis)
- $3.2 Million
4 – Josh Smith
- $13.2 Million
5 – Brook Lopez
- $9.23 Million (cap hold)

Total starting line up salary: $45.4 Million

Bench:
Morrow – $4 Million
Extra E – $3.135 Million
Petro – $3.5 Million

Total committed cap with Lopez and Smith is: $56 million

That’s a nice team, not counting additions made, to fill out the roster and MLE type adds. We’d have about $3 million available as well. So if we have a shot at Dwight in Free Agency, we S&T Lopez with whatever team wants him and force Petro and Extra E on them as part of the S&T. That allows us to free up another $15.8 Million. Add that to $3 Million or so available and you have enough for D-Howard and D-Will maxed out.

Use a MLE on a starting small forward and throw a few veteran Minimums at a back up PG and back up bigs. And your 2012 Nets look like the beast of the East!

Howa baout a center and expiring in Okur, a bench sharp shooter in Morrow, and a pick?

Salaries close to matching.

If we can have a lineup that includes Deron, Marshon and Smith

I would play
Deron/Farmar
Marsh/Stevenson
Smith/Stevenson/James
Hump/Shawne
Petro/Shelly/JWill

Disgraceful

Can anyone think of a top 10 player playing with a bunch of role players? I can’t. It is disgraceful to surround such a good player with nothing. DHoward wants to leave and they have put real players around him every year. Melo wanted to leave and he had much, much more than this with Billups, JR and Nene and KMart. Cpaul wanted to leave and he had West, Ariza, Okur, others. Lebron even had more than this. Even with Lebron they went out and got players: Jamison, Z, Verajao, etc. What has king got? Hump? He struck out this year. I think given the talent, he’d have to leave. I suppose only the amazon Nash comes close to laboring with so little.

Not excusing who does that, cause I don't agree with any speculation that comes from opinions, but

D12 has requested a trade, D-Will has NOT (yet).

D-Will is playing with the team whose best player (after himself) is a 25th round pick rookie.

Do you blame him. Wade went through the motions in Miami pre-trio deal.

He get emotional IMO, but then he chills once he remembers that this is a process at least through trade deadline.

I swear Nets Daily bloggers could do better writing articles then Bill Ingram
New Jersey’s best-case scenario, as with other teams that have faced this situation, is to find a team with which Williams would agree to sign an extension and put together a deal with that team.

DWill has been on record multiple times that he will not sign an extention because he can make more money by opting out. No team is going to offfer us jack for a 2 month rental. What a momo.

He has a 7-1 wingspan and averaged 7.1 rebounds in the Big East. He will be one of the top players when we look back on this draft 3 years from now. DWILL-of-the-GODZ June 3, 2011

that's BS

We did not come into this season thinking about “Tanking”

We were looking at Dwill/Morrow/AK47/Hump/Lopez with farmar/SWag/James, etc off the bench.

Then injuries happened which FORCED BK to trade for okur and eat up our cap space we could have used on ak47.

Bottom line= We ALL thought this team could have been a 6-8 seed, including the Nets but things have NOT gone our way.

Nobody is tanking, we just suck.

We are asking players to do things they can’t do and put them in situations they are not comfortable in like for example:
- Petro Starting.
- Hump posting up.
- Morrow creating off the dribble and play D.

Last year we were almost a 300 team (24-58).

If we get better this year it’s an improvement. Especially since we’re still in transition.

To beat the record of last year, we have to win 20 games.

Which means anything over 20 games is an improvement.

With B-Lo and/or D12 (after deadline) we can certainly top that.

Once in Brooklyn, it’s a new ballgame. I will be happy with anything over 20 wins.

I would love to make the playoffs, but it will be a sweep 1st round in the best case scenario. So it doesn’t mean much anyway. See Nix last year.

That’s not what Dirk wants (I’m sure he would not mind), but that is what Dirk is!

All depends on what Deron tells the Nets management

If Deron says he wants to leave, of course we’d entertain trade offers. Problem is, likely if he leaves, Dallas is his desination and they have little to trade. Would a team take Deron as a rental, knowing he’d opt out? Maybe.. but can’t imagine a great return in the trade…

by orangeeater on Jan 15, 2012 3:01 PM EST reply actions  

If Deron isn't happy, he won't stay

Is he happy? Will he be happy in March? No idea. King and Avery talk to him. If he has “checked out” in March we may try to trade him…

He can be traded in a one-for-one trade.

If the Nets were really willing to sign Butler to that deal then I lose a lot of faith in King. I hope it was some sort of bluff (although I don’t see the benefit in such a tactic).

I don't really see an issue with that

Dwight isn’t exactly a certainty, and Deron could leave. Clips have a lot going for them, especially now with CP3. It’ll be his loss if (hopefully when) D12 becomes a Net.

Great Post -- agreed 100% - they want to be a championship team in a year

but a slower 3-6 year build may be appropriate, and would probably work out well. Trade Deron for Westbook and let him extend with Durant.

by benjamin411 on Jan 15, 2012 4:41 PM EST up reply actions  

Hoopsworld article is actually comical.
New Jersey’s best-case scenario, as with other teams that have faced this situation, is to find a team with which Williams would agree to sign an extension and put together a deal with that team.

In other words, the Nets are about to start aggressively shopping their All-Star point guard.

I think it's fine.

Kind of think we have a double standard in our thinking here

We’re saying there’s no way Orlando lets Dwight walk in free agency, that they’ll trade him for sure, but when it comes to DWill there’s no way the Nets will trade him, even if Dwight is gone?

I think it’s completely rational to trade DWill if Dwight gets traded to a team he’d extend with this season. Name me one person in the 2012 FA class who is not an RFA that will get DWill to stay

And No One will be surprised

If twe lose him, the whole league kind of expects that. No surprise. Who are we at 3 – 10 coming off a 20 win season and getting absolutely nothing over the offseason, who are we to think he’d stay. Loyalty! He Loves Billy! He’s said nothing to indicate…. REally. He said he hates losing. Who stays when they can go to a place that wins consistenly and then feel happy! This is a miserable place to play. They are soft inside and can’t defend anything. He’d only destroy his legacy here, ruin his reputation. Why wait on a promise: what has King done to show Deron he can build a winner?
