Arena Schedule Tightens Up

The corner of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues in Brooklyn could be quite the scene in the days just before Jay-Z opens Barclays Center on September 28. According to the latest construction report by the bondholders' consultants, final touches, like landscaping, trees, sidewalks, bollards, might still be added as late as September 25.
The arena's "substantial completion date" is now August 30, three days later than previous reports had it. At that point, the arena would be ready, with the final touches and "shakedown" operations taking up a month. There might even be a local event or two scheduled to see how things work before the Jay-Z concerts.
Still no word on how the shutdown of ASI Limited, the manufacturer of facade panels, will effect the schedule. Some panels are at the site, but Forest City and Nets spokesmen have declined comment on the story.
- New report: for three months, arena has been (slightly) behind schedule; completion date for arena nudged back - Norman Oder - Atlantic Yards Report

But best case is D12 and Deron KEEP their pact to play together, and they join in the offseason as free agents and we keep our entire team PLUS have the 2012 lottery draft pick + cap space to sign bandwagon championship seekers.
Then we’re talking championship contender suddenly.

What? Never
The ONLY reason Dwight wants to be a Net (and apparently only a Net) is because of Deron Williams.
That trade has the potential to totally change the future of the franchise. Devin Harris & Derrick Favors weren’t going to do it.

Maybe not...
Favors has played fairly well and we would’ve had the number three overall pick last year as well.

this would be Derons best situation
Would have Dwight, Lopez, Morrow, Brooks, our picks which will be pretty good, plus we bring over Bogs, that is deadly right there.
imagine if in the end we end up with
Deron\ Arenas
Brooks\ Morrow
T. Jones\ Bogs
Lopez\ Davis
Howard
This would have to all rely on the nets getting a top 2 pick and the rockets sneaking into the playoffs
yeah, that’s the best case scenario imo, Dwight coming here via FA.
Orlando is looking good right now though.

Question is would Orlando trade him during the season anyway?
if not then I see him coming to NJ, not Dallas and not resiging with Orlando. If Orlando falls anything short of a championship he bolts and lets face it no one is getting by the heat.

Look at the line of assistant coaches we have had, the amount of scouts, the money we have spent in the last 2 and a half years and still cant at least get a competitive team on the floor. I am all aboard the Dwight train but I totally agree that is a very risky move. in spite all that, I have faith that BK will deliver one way or another.
I cant believe that he will allow DWill to leave on FA.. Dwill will not do that to us based on these premises:
*we gave up our future for him
*We all giving him the kids for our future.
BK has done everything he has asked and has developed a bond with him that will guarantees us (its my hope at least!) that in the event that he will leave us, to give the opportunity to get something for him. maybe I am naive but I am expecting that BK is much ..much smarter than that to allow Dwill to play him and leave us empty handed.
yeah
it seems like nothing changes at all
poor defensive effort
and now this year, guys like Morrow and Shawne Williams, who were 3pt experts last year, CANNOT SHOOT

How is it possible that we are so bad defensively is crazy.. there are not adjustments all on a regular basis… People that have killed us over the years keep killing us (Bass, DJones, Jamison and list goes on and on) I cant understand if Every is so good we are still not showing good fundamentals. how long before they learn?
I know a lot of people will say that you need players and I agree. But effort should not be something we miss, fundamental should not be missed.
On a site note, have you notice that all the players that used to play for other teams had a tendency to make all the shots against us and once they put our uniform on they cant heat the ocean. Just crazy!!!.

Even If they rather have the pick it’s better than just Bynum
If Lakers don’t offer Gasol, there is NOWAY NOWAY in my mind the Nets dnt have te better package. Lopez,MarShon top 10 pick, shed salary and get rid of Turk . Before the season MarShon was t as valuable now he looks as if he can be A 20 PPG scorer
Trade isn't close to going down until Lopez comes back

Well actually when you take a step away You still see that:
•Dwight has asked to be traded here
•It’s apparent he and Deron have a pact
•The plan this year is to ensure the Nets will have cap room to sign them both to max deals next summer (or expirings for Orlando)
•The team is going to struggle to win 12 games this season
•That Prokhorov seems to be losing interest, and doesn’t seem to care much about the team
•The Brooklyn Arena will be one of the best in the country
•Deron likes the organization and wants to stay here
•Marshon is the steal of the draft
•Nets will have a lottery pick next year
•Billy King has made nothing but great moves as the GM and has a close relationship with Deron
•We are perceived by the media as a bad situation, because we have a losing culture
•Winning changes everything, and we aren’t doing that
•Nets have a fanbase that remains loyal to the team despite the losing culture
•Knicks have 1 more win than our terrible terrible team

Hollinger on Swag
Justin (New Jersey) – Thoughts on MarShon Brooks? The kid can score. Doc was doubling him the whole second half last night.
John Hollinger - Saw a lot of Nets while I was seeing family this last week. Brooks is soooo long, he can get his shot off on anyone, but he has near-total tunnel vision. I like his length as much on boards and defense if he applies himself there. Offensively, he’s great getting points for a bad team but I worry whether he can do it efficiently, and whether he’ll ever record an assist.

Well he's wrong in that case
I’ve been very very surprised as how well he found open guys from baseline moves. I can count about 5 times last night WIDE open jumpers missed off of his drives that he passed out.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Agreed.. my biggest worry with Marshon is that he doesn’t have elite speed to go against some of the better defenders in the league. We’ll see.
Yeah noticed that too
But he’s long enough to get his shot over anyone. See the Joe Johnson turnaround move.
The double team is where he’ll have to learn quickly. Other teams scouting can see he’s out of sorts when that happens. Rookie stuff.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Speed shouldn't worry you.
Just look at the same game. P.Pierce looks slow as a turtle but he can get his shot off. MarShon is smart and knows how to manipulate a defense to ER his shot off, he’s also long so of he can’t attack the basket against a certain defender he can post them up. He’s not limited on offense he can score anyway you want him to, that’s what I think is going to make him special.
Tunnel vision
I do think Brooks suffers from it just a bit.
However I don’t believe it’s not borne out of selfishness at all — it’s pretty clear the kid is trying his best to help the team. I think he trusts his ability to score more than most of his teammates (and rightly so). After all, they have blown a couple of nifty passes.
I know he’s been asked to score and not create for other guys. But once he starts trying to create a bit more, he’ll actually become a much more dangerous scorer.
All that being said, I’m not worried about his development at all — I’m really high on him.
That's the way I see it as well
Offensively, he’s great getting points for a bad team but I worry whether he can do it efficiently, and whether he’ll ever record an assist.

He’s a rookie and was ranked 11th yesterday in the LEAGUE, and today 22nd behind Dirk after dropping 15 in the first half on a good shooting percentage.
Needs other guys around him, which is why he’ll play better when Deron is on the floor.

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
I think its more about how he scores as well
his FTA are pretty low thus far, which is really the biggest difference in scores. Even though I think its ridiculous when a player averages 10+ FTA per game, Brooks should try attack the rim more as well. He’s young which is why I don’t say anything negative about him, because its now baby steps, and he can ONLY get better from this season.

but the ball tends to find the hands of Shelden Williams so of course he isn’t going to record an assist.
This
And I thought he has handled double teams rather well for a player with less than 10 games experience.
As for efficiency.. he’s been efficient so far and should only get better.

An assist?
That would require someone else to both catch a pass and make a shot. Both things. That’s not happening.

We will even without those guys...
After the 1st quarter Miami will rest it’s big three and the rest of the game will be garbage time.
Jordan Williams will probably score 25…
I don’t know if I can bring myself to watch.
Which is a shame because I’ve really enjoyed watching the Heat this season. I hated Lebron last season but now that he’s dropped this ridiculous notion that he should be a “villian” we can get back to enjoying the Lebron who just loves playing basketball.
Sorry guys, I want to hate the Heat, but I just CAN’T. They just play basketball too well to hate them.
I know i'm the same way
I was the biggest LeBron hater for years, way before the Decision. but now that they’ve decided to just shut up and play good basketball, I ain’t even mad anymore. they’ve stopped being divas and the center of the attention, since then I don’t mind them as much.
I think we can beat any team
if all of our shots are fallen lol. We’re 110% now a perimeter team, so if players can hit there shot AND defensive stops, any team has a chance. The problem is, relying on this team to do both or either, happens every 4 years like a leap year.

Avery needs to have a sit down with Shawne
and tell him every time he’s open, he needs to shoot. Thats one of his main priorities on the court. Not sure why he shows such hesitance every single time he’s open and rather opts to drive in and make a mistake.
While on the Knicks last season he shot the ball even with defenders covering him, not sure what has changed since crossing the river.

My biggest concern with Brooks so far, besides his speed, is his chemistry with Williams.
Of course, Deron’s chemistry with the entire team is an issue (the way he was pouting on the bench yesterday made me SICK) but can these two find a way to maximize their offensive skills?
This is going to sound ridiculous to everybody but what I see on the floor with Brooks and Williams reminds me of last year with Wade and Lebron. Deron and Marsh are new teammates who both like to have the ball in their hand at the start of a possession. They want to initiate whatever goes on. They are going to have to find a rhythm where one or the other is comfortable finding a way to get involved when the other is running the offense.
I understand what you are saying but
I disagree.
You need Balance. Brooks cant have the ball on every possession ala double him and get the ball out of his hand.
Lets say we have everyone health.
Dwill is driving and hitting jump shots, Brooks is driving and hitting jump shots, Lopez is posting up and hitting 15 footers. Eventually they are going to have to double someone. You want to have players that will create these double situations so the other players can get open shots. So you want as many players on your team that can do this.
PG and Coach will determine what play to call and who gets the ball. If the offense is balanced out, all your Offensive Weapons should get a lot of touches to throw that Defense OFF Balance.
So DWill and Brooks can work and they should be in the starting line up together. This idea of Dwill with another PG was stupid and should be TRASHED. Dwill is a Passing PG(Kidd) that can score. Now a Shooting PG that can pass sometimes(Harris).
we might have the same problem as MIA
Marshon can play in the post while DWill sits @ the 3pt line

Yeah i don't know if i would call it pouting
He just seemed like he was really concentrating. Which is good.
D-Will strikes me as the kind of guy who won’t accept any missed opportunities. He is probably just studying his teammates moves. To see how they operate, so as a point guard he can play off them better. Or maybe offer them suggestions.

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Yeah he can't be happy. I doubt many are.

It seems like the whole team is trying to stay real positive.
I like that. People on this board need to adopt that attitude.
Brook-Brooks-Brooklyn

Exactly, and he's been laughing and joking with reporters
He’s upbeat about the plan in place, and annoyed by his personal performances that have contributed to the loss.
But he really hasn’t seemed like a guy who is on the verge of throwing chairs across the locker room at Petro (who would be unable to block it).
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Let's try to be fair.
DWill is used to winning and this is new to him. He is not VC type of guy who smiles all the time. The “big picture” is what keeping him in this state. Otherwise he would have clashed with Avery and BK by now. Guy is a different animal all together, very unpredictable and independent. He would not just follow a trend.
So we have to be happy that he is still on board with all this losing for a better day.

People who love STAT because he signed here last season need to GTFO. Wake up, we PAYED the man 100 million dollars. We guaranteed his ENTIRE contract. No other team would do that, that’s why he signed here.
He’s a waste on this team right now… useless without a PG. Worst defensive forward (player?) in the entire NBA. Oh and his knees are a ticking time bomb.
Seriously I’d trade him to a team like the Rockets if they’d give us Scola and Lowry or something like that.

How do I do that sarcasm font?
“That’s why we play the game, to win a championship. Shaq obviously felt that, with his personality, he didn’t fit down there. So he wanted to go to Hollywood, which worked out for him. Dwight is kind of on that same cusp with the same personality. He wants to be Hollywood. He’s just that type of dude.”
Someone needs to tell Howard that sports stars don’t make very good Hollywood actors. If he wants to be in the spotlight he’ll be better off playing in Brooklyn and being an East Coast TV star.
He’ll be able to host Saturday Night Live, make cameos on 30 Rock, there’s plenty of room for him to be in the spotlight here.
At the end of the day McGrady is just speculating. I don’t think his opinion is going to matter very much to Howard.

Everyone shutup with this Lopez playing the 4 theory.
He is slow as molasses, clumsy, and sucks on defense. No way he can compete with the 4’s in this league let alone our division. Amare would tear him apart, old KG would still dominate him, and Lopez wouldn’t be able to defend bargnani’s outside and midrange game. If Dwight comes via free agency, Lopez is gone.

C don’t have to guard C. Lopez game is similar to a PF the way he scored and the way he plays D. Plus the guy use to average 2 blocks per game, so he must have been doing something right.

The ideal 4 next to Howard
PFs with more athleticism & shooting range than Lopez. Guys like Kevin Love, Derrick Williams, etc. If he wasn’t so old, I’d say Jamison is a perfect fit. I’d throw a small, short offer at him if we landed Dwight, even if he only gives us 20 minutes per game.
precisely
sorry to say, but if it did ever come to this, id rather trade lopez for a
stud small forward.
if dwight were on our roster, im actually comfortable with him playing alongside
humphries and shelden as the backup 4.
it would be amazing if we could somehow also keep okur to back up dwight.
that’s a great 4-man post rotation methinks

He has to become a free agent to sign a new contract. So does it sign it right away instantly?

Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Should've been clearer
No matter where Dwight or Deron end up or stay, they both WILL become free agents – even if it’s just for the 30 seconds of time it takes to opt out to free agency and then to sign a new 5 year contract with the Nets.
Just thinking under the circumstance he gets traded to the Lakers and opts out as a free agent. Does Dwight then take a listen from a few teams trying to convince him to take a year less?

Howard has told Orlando management that he would sign extensions with three teams – the Dallas Mavericks, Lakers and New Jersey Nets – but the Nets and Mavericks aren’t in strong position to make deals for Howard.
Orlando has been iffy on Nets center Brook Lopez, who has been lost for several weeks with a broken foot.
Not accurate. You haven't been paying attention,
DH & DW are not signing extensions. They will become free agents and then sign new contracts. If they sign with the team they were last on, they will get the most money. If they sign with a new team, they will still get buckets of money. If they sign extensions, they give up millions.

I love How everyone says Lopez cant guard Quick 4's
which happens to be true, but really how many of them are there???
1)Josh Smith usually does a good job of guarding himself on a nightly basis
2)I dont know if i’d consider Amare a quick 4 anymore. for some reason he thinks he’s dirk now
3) Blake griffin i’ll give you that but no one can guard him.
but everyone here seems to be forgetting that these guys would have to guard him, which none of them would be capable of doing
Ahem to #3
Hump can guard him.

true true.... but we could use DH12 on those quicker PFs and Lopez to the slow ones...
but on the other side we would simply destroy teams. No way can they ANY team handle Lopez/Howard
Disagree.
The two don’t fit well offensively.
If Lopez is playing to his strengths, he’s operating down on the blocks. Having Howard and Lopez both down there would clog up the paint and neither would be able to be as effective. The counter is: well, Lopez has a great mid-range game; he could just roam the perimeter and let Howard operate down-low. To me, that’s a waste. You’re effectively neutralizing Lopez’s greatest strength to allow for Howard to be comfortable — it’s a waste. Also: Lopez has yet to become an effective (and consistent) pick-n-roll player.
Lopez ain't re-signing to be trade bait
I would go off on this team if I was him

He can play for his 1 year qualifying offer
Then at the end of that one year, he’d be an unrestricted free agent. It’s very rare that a player passes up a lot of guaranteed money to play on a relatively small 1 year deal just to become an unrestricted free agent.
RFA Process
Team X signs Lopez to an offer sheet, say 4 years, $52mil.
Nets have a couple of days to match the offer. If they match the offer he is a Net for that exact contract.
If the player’s original team exercises its right of first refusal by matching the principal terms of the offer sheet, the player is then under contract to his original team.

Andre Iguodala, Eric Gordon, James Harden or Kevin Martin. All would be attainable; assuming that Lopez comes back strong from the injury.
Gordon is the only one I would want
Harden isn’t leaving OKC, and the rest can kick rocks.

true true they are set with Gasol
but Harden and Gordon are doable IMO.
Only problem is they are both SGs…. What about Brooks?
Well, ideally, you would package Lopez and Brooks to get a wing (Martin, Gordon, etc.) and a big that fits well with Howard (Jordan Hill, for example).
And you could always trade Lopez for a lesser wing and a pick.
*Obviously, this all depends on how he bounces back from the foot injury.
woah
Lopez and Brooks for Martin!!!
martin plays no D and is fragile and is overpaid, i wouldnt trade either one of them straight up for Martin at this point…
I like gordon but lopez for Gordon straight up is a fair deal, and with our rook in tow shooting guard isnt really a need.
Seriously? Year after year day after day
majority here come up with ideas, trades, and signing that WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

i agree
i like gordon and i like Harden to an extent, however iguodala jumper is on par with Dwights and kevin martin plays no D whatsoever and is a chuck…
i disagree
they could work well on the court together and when either one needs a break we’d still have a low post presence on offense..
id compare them to Robinson/Duncan (on offense only) more so then Bynum/Gasol
They could work well on the court together.
Elaborate…
I’d compare them to Robinson/Duncan.
Don’t see it. Duncan has a high BBIQ; Lopez doesn’t.
here you go
Lopez Has a good mid range game, can play the pick and pop and obviously scores on the block
Howard could be used in the pick and roll and down low.
Lopez may not have duncans BBIQ but he has a solid Basketball IQ…
I never said that
I am just saying we should keep both because IMO it makes sense.
Lopez can play a stretch 4 and has a very good post game.
Question: When you look at Duncan, do you think he can guard PFs?
I dont think so but he PLAYS PF. I am not saying Lopez is Duncan. I am just saying they have similar games and Duncan considers himself a PF not a C.
Ok so you guys aren't leaving this team

In a twisted way
The best thing for the Nets is probably a Howard injury that extends past the trade deadline. No way LA sacrifices a big chunk of one of Kobe’s final seasons to trade for & wait on Howard. It also forces Orlando’s asking price way down. I’m not rooting for him to get hurt, but it would be almost comical if he sprained something in the allstar game, diminishing his “rental” trade value.

I was hyping this trade up 2 weeks ago!!
My argument then was Curry + Wright + Udoh + picks is the best deal Orlando would be able to get.
Now I think Orlando has to be paying a little bit more attention to the Nets after they see how Marshon Brooks has played. If I’m Orlando, I’m trying to get Brook Lopez and Marshon Brooks and our two from us at the deadline. If I’m Billy King, I say I’ll trade Lopez and the two picks but no way to Marshon.
The best case scenario, obviously, is that Dwight Howard decides not to screw over his future team and becomes a free agent, signing outright with the Nets in the summer.
I don’t see that happening. But keep Marshon, I think Howard/Williams/Brooks is a great core to start with and build around
