Nets Discussing J-Will Recall

PrintAvery Johnson said Friday that recalling rookie Jordan Williams from the D-League was "something we've discussed." No wonder. The Nets dressed 10 players against the Cavaliers and although Shelden Williams played well, he's troubled by a sore wrist. Bringing Williams back would seem simple. He's only 150 miles away.
He said all the right things to a reporter for the Torrington (CT) Register-Citizen, his local paper, this week. "I’m just trying to work hard, listen to the coaches, and do whatever I can to work my way back up," Williams said. He's played in five games so far and is scheduled to play again Saturday night. He's averaging 12.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 34 minutes with the Armor.

I was wondering why he wasn't there last night.
Sheldon can’t do it all himself and we want to minimize Petro.
call him up if he gets minutes...
Shelden actually played pretty good. Hes a bigger body in the paint than J will.
I read somewhere that the Hornets' asking price for Kaman is cap space + draft picks + young player.
In addition to that, they are not going to take on more salary.
How about we offer them Okur + J-Will + picks for Kaman?
I think it’s a good deal for both sides.
no

i don't think so
i would’ve liked to have gotten Kaman instead of Okur at the outset of the season. But at this point, to give up on JWill (I’m not convinced he’ll ever amount to anything but I’m not ready to give up on him) and to give up a draft pick for Kaman doesn’t make sense. I think Kaman is a quality player and if the Nets were in a position where adding Kaman would help us contend for a championship, then I’d be for it.
other reasons...
1. he makes $14 million. Okur makes $11 million.
2. he can’t be traded for two months except in a 1-for-1 after a deal is consummated.
3. preserve your picks for three team deal re Howard.

NI, do the Nets still plan on revealing the Brooklyn logo

That's an awful deal.
Both are expiring and you want to throw in Jwill AND picks? Are you serious?
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...

Wouldn't even offer Okur and J Will but of course I'd be fine with it
Since J Will has shown nothing. But I don’t see the point in trading any prospects never mind picks for him. No point giving up much for a rental and acquiring one only makes sense for a team making a playoff push. Don’t see the sense in it for the nets. If the nets don’t make the playoffs which is likely all Kaman would do is make our pick worse. If we did we would need Lopez to come back strong to make a push for the playoffs and in this situation Kaman wouldn’t get too much minutes playing behind Lopez and Hump. While I am a big believer in having a good big off the bench to have at least a good three man rotation Kaman only gives you what Lopez already does well to a lesser extent in limited minutes. I’d argue in the spot minutes of the short term Okur would be more valuable since he can step out and shoot the three and has played with D Will before.
Even if the nets made the playoffs don’t see Kaman making much difference no reason to rent him. Besides need to be able to trade players for a Dwight trade which Kaman wouldn’t be. There asking price is over the top.

When we thought everything is again working in our favor,
now Magic is unraveling fast. Now there is a very good chance that Magic would deal DH12 before the trade deadline. I still hope that they figure this out and start winning.
Yesterday was a good win and now Raptors are without Italian and Pacers are without Hibbert. We should try to win both games and keep momentum going. Brook will be back in couple of weeks and if you have noticed, he looks bigger than last season.
BTW, I am really impressed by Irwin. Another Rose, CP3 in the making.

I already got a warning for a post about a “Fear the Sword” argument for naming a fellow poster so I will not go beyond this.

It wouldn't surprise me to see them deal him in the near future
that situation is getting uglier and uglier by the minute, the Magic at some point have to realize for the sake of the fans, the city, and the franchise, this problem has to be solved. He literally told his team to stay in the lockeroom if they won’t play hard, I cannot imagine everything being swell behind closed doors.

I like his work ethic.
Doesn’t look like a head-case a-la Sean and Terrence.
If he’s in condition to contribute there’s no reason he wouldn’t be called back into the action, looking forward to it.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...

OT
For fantasy
I give: Nene and Monroe
I get: CP3 and KG
Whaddya think?
That millisecond you're sure you're going to die when you lean back in your chair a little too far.
Great trade for you.
KG still putting up decent stats CP3 is stat stuffer. Nene’s stats aren’t great or weren’t haven’t followed in a while and Monroe has done well but KG should do just as well.
Note I haven’t played fantasy in quite a while so…

? I wish I could ask Woj
Does Brook Lopez’s injury hurt his trade value. As we know, he is a RFA. Whichever team gets him will only have a few months to testdrive him, to see if they want him long term. For example, if Orlando gets him and he plays so so.. would they be willing to match a 4 year/48 million dollar offer?
WOuld Lopez scare some front offices (not scare because of his injury status or if he can play.. more is he someone they want to make a long term investment in?)

This is a quick reply to WR3 fan post about Lopez for some dumb reasons comment are closed.
Typed it up so I’m posting it somewhere.
1. Dwight will guard the best big man on the other team no matter what.
2. He can play help D just as well at the 4 unless he’s guarding Dirk not very often.
3. Lopez’s offesne is perfect beside Dwight.
4. It is not that easy to just trade Lopez he is a Free Agent and would have to agree to a sign and trade somewhere. Plus the nets look like dicks if they tried to force something on a guy that stuck it out for four years.
5. Won’t get that much for Lopez in sign and trade vs getting more when actually plays on your team if the experiment fails you can trade him for more. Sign and Trades do not bring back a lot of value. Lopez also doesn’t get his bird right so not much incentive for him unless he likes the destination.
6.Our cap sapce will get eaten up very quickly with Deron and Dwight max not retaining Lopez doesn’t give us a full max cotract equivilent to work with. So your point about all this cap space is moot. We are in a unique position to add to max player and play Lopez thanks to his bird right and coming off his rookie contract we should take advanatage of it we will not have the same money to put into other players and will not get the same return Lopez will offer.
7. We will have depth when Billy King adds in potentially two draft picks in a stacked draft.

I know it’s wrong but watching people fall while Ice skating is really entertaining! As long as they don’t get hurt of course.
Kinda like when he crosses Toney Douglas up on 2/4?

If we continue playing like we have been the last 3 games
we arent getting any of them. And we sure as hell arent getting Davis.
I think it's fine.

i dont want to give up any picks or jordan williams in a kaman trade
we can’t make deals that help this year’s team but hurt down the road.
if anything, deal farmar or something for flexibility
forget kaman
no need to mess up the chemistry we are building.. hold it down till Lopez comes back. Keep winning make ourselves more attractive to D-12 to the point hwere it;s Nets or no one then make a deadline deal and ejoy the playoffs!!!

Kaman cant be traded except in a one for one
until 60 days after the trade. You would lose flexibility in that deal.

I just checked NBA 2K12...
…And Deron Williams’ overall is 87, Lopez is next at 76, and Brooks is 72. They underrate D-Will so much. When I first got the game, Deron was 92, he has been playing great lately. And does anyone know why Larry Owens isn’t in the game? Do any of you think Lopez and Deron’s overall is low too?
Jersey Strong, Brooklyn Ready
Yeah they keep lowering Deron
but MarShon was a 67 two days ago, now a 72 so that’s great! As Deron continues to play like the Deron of old, he will be back to a 90+
Brook needs to prove himself this season. If he plays like he has in the past, he’s an 80!

Than Low on Petro, and his action in the D league will only help in his development, so his call up might give him the spark he needs to get things right, because we could use a beasting J-Whiz!!!
