Humphries Shoulder Only Sprained
by Net Income on Jan 3, 2012 3:27 PM EST
Email
PrintBefore Monday night's game, Avery Johnson gave a dire assessment of Kris Humphries left shoulder injury, saying "it doesn't look good", that he couldn't raise his arm and announcing that he would have an MRI Tuesday. Visions of another catastrophic injury danced in fans' heads.
Well, the MRI came back and there's good news. Stefan Bondy tweets, "Good news for Nets: Humphries only has sprained shoulder, day-to-day and traveling to Boston." Humphries has not yet been ruled out of Wednesday's game in Boston and should face the Raptors on Thursday. Originally, the team didn't even expect the team's leading rebounder could travel.

where can I find DEFENSE on this team
worst in the NBA right now
"It's as sweet as it ever was, I'll tell you. Now, hopefully, we started something and we can win some more championships, but we're going to enjoy this one right now. Have a little champagne." --Julius Erving, May 12, 1976, ABA champion Nets locker room.
Agreed...
Everyone says the Nets can’t score but they are playing worse on D then O.
Paul George went 5/5 from three, and he wasn’t even making tough shots he was WIDE OPEN.
13/21 from three for the Pacers in total…61.9%. How do you allow that to happen?
Only one guy actually plays good D and that’s DeShawn Stevenson. Morrow and James played awful on D yesterday, and Gaines got beat alot too. And D-Will and MarShon aren’t defensive stoppers either.
Can't do either
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Disagree
The offense is horrible, D-Will should stop passing to Shelden Williams but Morrow and Shawne WIlliams will eventually start knocking down three’s. And add some starters minutes for MarShon and the offense is too bad.
yes it is
a lot of those threes come from the offense taking bad long jumpers which lead to long rebounds and easy breakouts or no one in the post being able to make a shot so the guards are constantly forcing shots around the rim and the wings do not cycle back to stop the fastbreak
too many times they screw up rotations on delayed transitions because big man does not want to cover george hill on the perimeter. if they could rebound or make post shots this would all be moot
the one gripe i do have with the defense is that they foul way too much. I think the nets have given up about 70 free throws the last two games

Offense is much worse than the defense right now
Defense is merely bad. Offense is horrifically awful.
they were playing
aggressive defense against Pacers.
Pacers hit a ton of threes which came at the end of long possessions.
Nets had a lot of blocks that night.

or start with a 3 guard lineup of D-Will Brooks Stevenson, put stevenson on the better SG/SF of the opposing team
Hmm, the nets are gonna be a bottom dweller either way from the looks of it.
Its ealry adn the team haven’t played much yet but who knows getting a higher pick might be better.

Now back to our regularly scheduled Nets complaints! The season is lost without Brook! Trade Deron Now! Howard’s never going to come here! Fire Avery! Fire Billy!
Do you think Sacto would trade us Outlaw for Shawne Williams?
Shawne Williams is the only SF with a smaller PER than Outlaw at this point, I think.
Fire Avery.

Best offensive center in the nba, two solid years of rebouding. Likes to shoot? Hits near 50% from the field vs the woeful shooting of every net minus Hump and Marshon. Plays more D then the rest of the nets bigs as is evident by the total lack of help D since he went Down.

Now that Hump’s return is imminent, it is time to turn on the afterburners and win the next 60 in a row. Prohorov has just put down his entire fortune on the Nets going all the way at 1000 to 1, and his elaborate ruse of acquiring players who appear to be mentally and physically challenged can now be revealed. They have all been hiding their Jordan-esque talents for years in preparation for this moment. After the championship is ours, Prohkorov will own the world. Well, at least Las Vegas. He’ll be like the new Moe Green—hopefully it ends better for him. The time is now because I’m getting sick of changing my signature after every game.

Twain was a huge Nets fan. The Mississppi River is the Nets season. Huck Finn and Jim are BK and Avery, and they are steering us down through this treacherous season. The Nets are camped out on an island in the middle of the river right now. Will they steer their way to freedom and the playoffs? Or will they end up painting the Orlando Magic’s fence? Stay tuned.

It's not over yet Mr.$
If Dwight ends up in L,A by march then yes it’s over in the Dwight front.
From there we would have to ask Dwill if he’d still like to continue with us, if he says NO, we will look to trade him.
Nothing is DONE yet.
Look at how AB is playing out there in LA. Look at Lopez’s foot in a boot
yeah, it’s over, and it’s been over we’re just deluding ourselves. I’m looking forward to see what we can get from Williams and out of this draft. Far more reasonable to do imo.

LeBron left CLE for a team that was worst than the Cavs, so what?

excellent point Andres
The Cavs were VASTLY superior to that depleted HEAT team… but Lebron saw the “vision”
If DH12 sees the “vision”, our record means very little.
a team that was worse than the Cavs?
no, the Heat were a team that had Dwayne Wade and a plan in place for over two years to sign Lebron.
They cleared that room because it was a given that he would come.

Mr.$
I am sure BK WILL look to trade Dwill if dwill tells him he starting to doubt our plans and will probably want out.
Remember that they have GREAT communication.
regarding their great relationship: I don't believe a word out of Deron's mouth
or BK’s to be honest. I like King, but I’ll believe it when I see it
IMO, Deron is looking at the Nets as suckers who are willing to kiss his ass, so he’ll sit around for a sec, see what they can do, and when/if they fail, he’ll just haul ass to Dallas like he was probably going to do anyway regardless of the Nets trading for him or not.
Him being in the Mavs locker room after they won the championship was damning evidence imo. You know that Cuban sent a message to him via proxy. Cuban is clearing space now because he knows he has Deron in the bag.

well if he "plays us as suckers" and leaves in the summer
then he will also lose 27 million dollars and an extra year of security.

work a way to get another pick and go after Kidd-Gilchrist

we’ll need a PG of course, but hell that can be addressed in the 2013 draft

you could get a nice young PG for him as well as another pick or 2

Great to Know Hump Only Has a Sprain
As for the rest of the Coach/Team news…………nauseating.
I'd be happy if we end up with a top 5 pick this year
It’s unrealistic to expect playoffs and a good record with Brook being out for at least the first half of the season, hump now beat up, Dwill playing SG and our other players under performing.
Best case scenario= Dwill + DH12 + maybe Lopez/SWAG/TOP 5 pick
Worst case scenario= Lopez+MarSHon+Dwill+ Top 5 pick(Davis,Drummond,Kidd-Gilchrist, Barnes, Perry Jones, Sully, Robinson, Henson, etc)
You really
think that D-Will is going to stay here in that worst case scenario?
really???

Dwill seems money driven
- I DOUBT he will leave 27million dollars on the table PLUS an extra year of security
- He seems to love NY.
-Bk and Dwill have a great relationship which makes me feel confident on how we will deal with his situation.
If dwill tells BK, “Hey man, I think Im out!” then BK will immediately start looking for the best package possible. Dwill would not do us like that IMO.

MKG will be a top 3 pick for sure IMO.
Davis seems to be the “John Wall” of the year so he will go 1st unless he really stinks up the place.

To all the Naysayers or Nyeters
Guys, it’s 6 games into the season. We’re not doing very well at all and with Lopez out I can understand the doom and gloom when it comes to Deron. But the whole put him in the D-league or trade him in a few months is what I find nauseating, more so than the team’s performance. I say that because I personally feel we shouldn’t even think about trading Deron Williams. Without Deron Williams there is definitely no Dwight Howard and without either this franchise is done. You can say what you want about finding young talent and becoming a rebuilding franchise but if we can’t go into Brooklyn with a banger, we’re not going to be relevant for YEARS to come. That’s 3-5 at the very least. Nobody is going to join the Brooklyn Nets with Lopez, some D-leagues, a rookie Brooks and no Dwill or Dwight. I don’t care how much cap space we have, we’ve had a huge capsule for YEARS. It hasn’t really gotten us anywhere because we can’t get anyone to sign. Trading Dwill for an ok PG and some picks isn’t really any help either.
I just want to remind you that the draft AND the FA this summer is going to be crazy. That includes our Dwill. That means if we keep him until then, at the very least we have SOME advantage into getting people to sign to NJ. We may not get all the top, but we may snag one or two that will hopefully have Dwill sign at least another year or even stay (assuming we don’t get Dwight). We no longer have to give up Lopez, Brooks, or any of our picks.
You guys see all the gloom and doom, but I’m going to look for best case scenario. Because if we don’t get it, we’re done anyway. I’ll always be a fan, dwight or dwill or not. But just saying 5-6 games in and you guys are giving up?
I don’t even want to call you guys nets fans.

"Renegotiation," "renegotiate," or "renegotiated" means Contract amendment that provides for an increase in Salary and/or Unlikely Bonuses." And in the section regarding renegotiations and extensions, we read this: "In no event shall a Team and player negotiate a decrease in Salary or in any Incentive
But the act of players lowering their salaries in the near term, to help their team’s cap, doesn’t exist.
"You’ve got it right,’’ Cuban tells DallasBasketball.com. "I don’t know if the fans and the media understand it, but the teams do. There is no ‘provision’ to cover this circumstance.
In the specific case of the Mavs, there are a number of tools available to them to create cap space. (DB.com is working right now on what we believe will be the definite piece on what Dallas can do to attempt to team Dwight and Deron with Dirk.) But a reworking of Dirk’s contract in order to lower his cap impact next summer and create room for another superstar or two won’t be among them.

Marshon's PER is higher than Kobe's right now
but I don’t know anything about fantasy basketball.
Except for the Nets will get Dwight Howard kind of fantasy basketball. Very familiar with that..
I'm all in. Go Nets!

THIS IS SARCASM
STUDY IT SO U WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS AGAIN…
Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...
Even if we learn D-Will isn't staying and we have to trade him
Who takes him? What can Dallas or LA give us? Those are about the only options, and I doubt we’ll get a whole lot considering they KNOW they’re our only options. We’ll get a handful of worthless draft picks because wherever we trade him to will get Dwight and be an instant Championship contender. Some expiring contracts so that we can overspend on more mediocre players, maybe. Look how much trouble NO had trading Chris Paul. They got a great deal in the end, but teams in the market for a PG combined with teams who will actually get something out of trading for D-Will doesn’t present a whole lot of promise for us.
i wouldn't worry about Deron right now...
So many things can happen from here to July….and so many things can change.
I’m worried the Brook injury was the only change we’re getting since mid-December. I’m not sure I regret going all in for Dwight—Chandler or Nene don’t make us title contenders in the slightest, so what’s the point of committing the next few years to being a low-end playoff team? But I don’t know…Orlando pulls the trigger on Dwight to LA, and I highly doubt Dwight says no to a contract there. Sigh.

Nets ownership was/is going all in for Howard...
no matter what you wanted to do.
So don’t worry about it too much.
Times are tough right now but try to stay positive. Negativity is a killer…
And assuming Lopez comes back healthy
we now have Brooks(becoming more attractive) and a potential top 5 pick to send to ORL.
Nothing has changed and people are jumping ship. Oh well.
I guess I’m most worried about the fact that, with our luck, Bynum stays healthy, puts up monster numbers, and is the clear superior to Lopez. I’m trying to hold out hope about the fact that I really don’t see why Howard would want to go to LA. I’m not sure they can afford D-Will and Dwight with Kobe and even if they do, they’d have to be completely broke before the rest of the roster fills out. I’m hoping he’s thinking the same way.
I’m trying to stay positive about Brooks because he’s been a high point so far, but Damion James has been pretty disappointing.

Funny how someone from ND who trolled MarShon everytime he was on the court was one of the first to heap praise when Dwill posted this on FB lol
"I love my Ducks (wait 'til you see my O)"
Well after tonight the Nets will be 2-5...
From now on any day we don’t lose a game I’m counting it as a win…

The Basketball Jones mentions the Nets as one of their biggest losers of the season so far:

Not very glowing analysis but hard to disagree with anything they’re saying. They do give MarShon Brooks a brief shoutout though.
OT but did anyone see this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcV7oCDksmQ
Dwill sure looks annoyed when someone in the background wanted his signature during the beginning of the video..
oh wow
not sure how i feel about that as a fan.
but i wasnt there. Im just gonna hope that that fan was yelling obscenities at deron
which prompted him to do what he did
wolves never rest
Read the comments on that video...
lol she was screaming his name over nd over again so loud pissin everyone off haha… ur not even supposed to go on that side any way. thanks
deron did end up signing for that lady tho haha thanks for watching
Hahaha
I thought that was pretty funny, how he looks at her and then turns around
I think it's fine.

lmao @ deshawn stevenson's signature
you can tell who’s used to signing signatures and who’s not, the rookies were soo slow
I don't like Deron's attitude
It seems like he’s quit on this team and is acting like CDR. Im surprised more of us aren’t upset with his play. Replace Deron with any superstar and this team would be better. He has been disappointing,
You must not be watching the game, my friend
I just don’t see you how you can possibly believe Deron is trying his hardest. It’s clear he’s waiting for Superman, just like the rest of us. However, that’s no excuse to not play 100%. Honestly, he hasn’t been an all star through these first 6 games.
CDR really?
"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."
