Williams And Humphries Will Play, Nets Concerned About James' Foot

The update from shootaround in Toronto on Friday is a mix of good and bad news. The good news is that Deron Williams (ribs) and Kris Humphries (shoulder) will play Friday night. The bad news is that the Nets are concerned about the status of Damion James' right foot. James will undergo an MRI on Saturday after the Nets return home.
The TBD news is that Marshon Brooks (ankle) is a game-time decision. If he can't play, Anthony Morrow will start at shooting guard. At small forward, DeShawn Stevenson will become the 10th different Net to start a game this season.
- Deron Williams, Kris Humphries will return tonight for Nets - Colin Stephenson - Star-Ledger
- Damion James out tonight, examination tomorrow - Andy Vasquez - NJ Nets Nation

If we can win Today and at Miami I'm sure we can get back on the road to post season.
I was hoping we could maintain a -5 record till brook comes back and than mame a run.
Maybe no Wade and Lebron, but they still owned the hawks
Which means we will lose by 30

they didn't own the hawks
A bosh three kept them in the game, and the hawks would’ve won if Joe Johnson hit his shots late

It will be tough to beat them if they had
Wade and Lebron back in the lineup but we have a good shot at winning if they both sit out.

What's worse is that he's proven to be a below-replacement level player so far.
And his skillset doesn’t bode well for his future.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
he hasnt evn played the equivalent of half an nba season yet
we should have patience
by mightymosdefinition on Jan 6, 2012 2:17 PM EST up reply actions
so that is good then.
we have a player who is below average that got hurt. A spot opens up for someone else to step up. I’m done with James.
We certainly can't count on him going forward, imo.
No matter how long he’s on our team. He can’t seem to stay on the floor, so we can’t pencil him in as a rotation player in the long run, imo.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
He's never projected as a start, more a rotation guy off the bench
He just has to start now. Remember, Kirilenko would be starting if not for Lopez being down.

Good point
Maybe if he played less minutes, he wouldn’t get injured so much. At least that would be our hope.

And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
Eh
If he was any good, we’d find a place for him.
But not talented and injury prone? That’s a bad combination.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
He has some talent as a role player
Plays good, physical, aggressive defense. He’s blocked a lot of jumpshots this year with both hands. He has terrible hands and handle but at least he attacks the basket and runs on transition. His energy is plus and he’s a well above average rebounder for his position. He has little offensive game right now but should become more adequate with some hard work. Positive presence and work ethic.
He’s just not a starter or a pure 3.
His production has been awful.
He’s not particularly young for someone with so little experience, so you can’t project him to improve very much (if at all) and his defense isn’t good enough to make up for it. He’s not some kind of Tony Allen level defender.
He’s a guy who plays sparingly for winning teams. Though I can see his rebounding, competent defense and effort level keeping him in the league for a while.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Yes his production has been awful
He’s not particularly young for someone with so little experience, so you can’t project him to improve very much
He’s not too old to improve his jump shot, which is his biggest offensive weakness. And on a team with so little talent, he’s been a bright spot worth following. I know he will never be a great player, but he’s worth watching develop. I feel awful for him that he has had another setback.
He's worth playing on this Nets team
Because there are so few others worth playing.
Fun Fact: James hasn’t made a three in his career.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
a lot of us talked about wanting Bynum to get hurt

In a decent team he would be a first off bench, borderline starter. As much as I like the kid, it is actually sad to have him as our “go-to person”. Hopefully he learns a lot from the experience and develop faster.

He has very real and very obvious flaws
BUT, again, so do many of the lottery picks in this draft. I’m pretty happy with his performance so far.
He may not pass the ball as well as i’d like, but he doesn’t turn it over either. 6 TO in 163 minutes while handling the ball as often as he has is impressive. He needs to have better shot selection and do a better job on the defensive end, where he often gets lost on screens.

and lets not forget
he was a twice traded pick. The Nets had acquired #27 in the TWill trade and then moved up by dealing the #27 pick and 2014 second rounder to Boston.

It's funny the bias that the media shows to the Nets and their players.
1-Every media outlet acts like Brook Lopez is a scrub.
2-Its obvious Brooks is the best rookie so far this season but all you see is negative criticism about how he plays. It’s especially commical coming from John Hollinger since Brooks has one of the highest PER’s in the NBA. Ive always thought Hollingers stats were crap anyway but he sounds like a hater when he says negative things about Brooks and he is killing it as far Hollingers metrics are concerned

no he's not

So… it all depends on who you ask.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
players on good teams are overrated, players on bad teams are underrated
I’ve heard JJ Hickson’s name 10x more in the media, like he’s the next Karl Malone, just b/c he played with Lebron. The same goes for Taj Gibson. They’re popular b/c they play on good teams and only look good b/c of the teams around them.
Yes Lopez is a joke around the league b/c he had 1 bad year rebounding and plays for the Nets. We will show EVERYONE wrong soon enough…
I don't care about the media
It’s not about them. It’s about the scouts and personnel inside each organization. They all know Lopez is a stud, just some like him less or more than others, and that’s to be expected.
The whole Melodrama showed how little the media really knows. I’ve lost faith in sports journalism and it’s accuracy since.

If it wasn’t for Scott’s inept coaching, I honestly believe we could have beaten the Spurs.
There are so, many factors to consider why that team was able to blow by the East
and get smacked in the Finals. One main reason, they lacked a true scorer, something the Spurs and Lakers had. Don’t for a second think the East wasn’t abysmal back then, and its not even funny how bad the East was. You assemle that same next team, with the same age and coach, they don’t even get out of the 2nd round in todays East.

Those things are cyclical. I would go as far as to say that within two years today’s West will be as bad as that era’s East.
That’s not the point though. We did not get smacked by the Spurs in the Finals. Losing in 6 isn’t getting smacked, especially when we blew multiple 4th quarter leads due to Coach Roboto’s silly substitution patterns.
Fine they got smacked in one
and looked questionable in the other. There also many factors into why we lost to the Spurs, especially since they should have won that series and our failure to close out games.

hard to win games
when your supporting cast is missing wide open jumpers and dropping passes that hit them in the hands. Deron isn’t a Rose or Lebron that can score at will. He’s best when he can set up his teammates, which in turns opens up his game because he see’s less pressure and double teams. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have that luxury right now which leads to his game in decline.

Because there’s no expectations to live up to. Every win is gravy as long as you get the occasional glimpse of potential from a young player. No expectations = no disappointment
<-I’m being 100% sarcastic
There's a lot of if's in those players (especially bynum in my mind)
All I’m saying is Howard is more of a sure thing, he takes care of scoring, defending, rebounding, blocking shots, and most of all an intimidating force like none other in the league by far.
I will say this though if Dwight or bust fails those players are certainly not plan B even if you take Bynum out of there.
It's really not
I would think Bynum would chose to come home instead of staying in Orlando.
I dont want a team full of mercenaries.
Lopez is a real Net.
So is Brooks.
Jones would also be a true Net.

so the Nets will have to up their offer to Orlando.
Revenge for Melo
lol that's very true
I was thinking that the nets were doing that on purpose because there really was no indication that melo wanted jersey haha.
The brightside on losing out on D12/DWill
is that Lopez, Marshon, #1 pick will at least be something to work with
if we trade Williams out before the deadline, we’ll have even more tools to work with
Truth
As much as every nets fan including myself want a Howard/Dwill combo I wouldn’t be against having a good pick Lopez and brooks… Wouldn’t be ALL that bad
oh it will be bad
but at least we will have some players to build up with for the future.

i meant first rd pick, but great point.
I do believe whole heartedly that if our pick is in the 1-3 range, King will draft the right guy and he may become a star

Off the top of my head we can make a play to trade him for :

He can still get $20+ more from the Nets than anyone else

There's no brightside if DWill walks
If there’s a feeling that he may not return, you have to trade him to get back some value. Even if it’s a craptastic package of late firsts & expiring deals that sheds salary.
How do you know, unless Dwight is traded?
If Dwight isn’t traded, they’ll both be FA’s.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
I don't disagree
However, King has to have something lined up. The second Howard is traded to the Lakers, King has to be ready to pull the trigger on a DWill trade.
totally agree
If we don’t land Dwight, who else is going to convince Deron to leave?
At the end of the season, we’ll still have Lopez and Brooks, a high draft pick, ability to give him max money, AND cap room for a max FA. And front loading a MAX contract to a RFA on a poor team could land us a big name. Anyone else remember Utah needing to take out a loan to cover a front-loaded MLE offer for Millsap?
In Dallas, all Deron would get would be an aging Dirk
You gotta believe our pick getting better
must help our case, too.
I’m not even saying this because ORL may want it since they want to win now, but we could flip it to a 3rd team ready to rebuild and that could unload some proven talent on the Magic.
Our picks is looking great right now
And so is MarShon.
Both those help our cause if we do a trade. Of course Brook being injured doesn’t… at all.

It’s about maintaining cap flexibility and assets to make that second big move to get a superstar. This team, on paper, should be at around .500 if:
1) Lopez doesn’t go down, which a) lost a 20PPG scorer and b) lost Andrei Kirilenko to start at the SF
2) Deron Williams, Humphries and Brooks don’t get banged up as much
3) The Nets actually have a training camp to get a system in place
They just do suck with what they have right now. Plain and simple. It’s not like they’re doing it on purpose, haha.

IDK I think ive done OK before
Draft evaluation
Top Teir – All stars
1. DWill- If Odom isnt getting him then neither is Farmar, Morrow and a prayer
2. Valanciunas – Might be the best player out of this class in 2 years. Lopez + Vala Holla
3. Irving- Will never be a top 5 PG but will always be good.
4. Kanter- Al Horford comparisons are legit
5. Leonard – Would look real good in NJ.
6. Klay Thompson – one of the best prospects. Might go as high as 4
2nd Teir Solid Starters
7. B Knight
8. Singleton – Defensive stud. He would be an ideal target to trade up for for NJ
9. Vesely – Solid player but Upside is limited
10. Vucevic – Krstic before Krstic hurt his knee which is pretty good
11. Hamilton – might be the only 20 ppg guy in this draft. Undervalued
12. Burks – Mixed feeling on him. depends on where he goes
Teir 3 Rotational player
13. Fredette – Good scoring backup who comes off the bench ala Ben Gordon
14. Brooks – I like Brooks upside alot. Most realistic player Nets should be able to trade for
14. Motiejunas – Will be good on the right team. Would look good next to D12
15. Faried – Size scares me but high energy play is infectious. Makes any team play harder
16. J Harper – Will be a good rotational player in the NBA. I like him alot
17. Shumpert – Best guard defender in the draft. Has athletic ability to be good
18. J Johnson – Will be a solid backup for 10 years
19. N Smith – Like him alot better at 36. Solid if not spectactuar
Sleepers
Bertans – Worth the wait. Has a picture perfect J
N Cole – the enigma of this draft. I think he will sneak into the 1st round
Parsons – Will be one of the biggest sleepers in this Draft. Think Tony Kuckoc
C Jenkins- I like this guys Hustle. I think he is going to make it in the NBA
Bust
T Thompson – Classic tweener
Walker – Dejuan Wagner part 2
Biyombo – His offense is too bad to make up for his stellar D. 4 on 5 is hard to win
Marc Morris – poor man’s Al Harington is code word for BUST
Mark Morris – Here is hoping the Knicks take him
T Harris
J Williams
Singler
Reggie Jackson – Not sharing medical records. aka STAY AWAY BK
Undecided
Tyler – even if he sucks 6 fouls from his big body is worth having on the bench
Butler – Everyone is pulling for this kid
Mirotic – see you in 3 years.
Selby – Has potential but hasnt produced yet. should have stayed in school

A few things...
You don’t like Tristan Thompson because he’s a tweener, but you like Derrick Williams? Williams isn’t going to rebound, defend or score efficiently enough to be a PF and I don’t see him as a SF. Future role player. I see him in the mold of Thaddeus Young. Thompson, on the other hand, can defend PF and will at least be solid there.
If I recall correctly, Brandon Knight’s defensive numbers in college were terrible. Very few PG prospects with a steal rate as low as Knight’s ever became productive NBA players.
It’s one thing to have opinions. It’s another thing to have opinions backed up with some kind of statisical evidence.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I think Lamb will be a top 10 SG in the league …. I’m not real sure about the other guys at their positions. Not as sure with the rest of them.

Would anyone here consider dropping Elton Brand and adding Spencer Hawes? Hawes has taken over the interior for Philly and has been scoring efficiently. Has also been having a better season than Brand.
I think it's fine.
KG to Nets...
…didn’t Rod Thorn try hard to make this happen for a couple seasons before Garnett eventually ended up in Boston?
Can’t remember too well, but I think he was. And didn’t KG state in an article that he thought he was traded to the Nets when he was first informed about being traded?
Funny, it’s like we go through this more than just the past couple seasons.

…can’t find any reports having ever been written about KG to Nets trade. I guess it was just some talk in Netsdaily during that time maybe.

Jersey Strong, Brooklyn Ready
Wow guys. Read the ESPN article that rory posted.
There are so many similarities. Replace Thorn with King, Deron with Kidd, Garntt with Howard and it is nearly a mirror image.
“If we had could have gotten Garnett,” Thorn said, “I think that Jason definitely would have committed to us long term.”
Also, to those talking about not wanting the superstar model:
While not every move, other than Jordan, worked in Chicago for Thorn, he’s had the Midas touch in Jersey. Starting with his hiring of Byron Scott as coach. The two share the same view that it takes at least two marquee players, defense, rebounding and teamwork to win championships. Other than Kidd, that second marquee talent is still a problem. But of a more immediate concenr, Thorn admits he just doesn’t know how all the changes will work out.</blockquote
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
Didn't Rod Thorn, before leaving, tell Prokhorov...
esentially the same thing ? Get one superstar then the other will hopefully follow.
Sounds pretty lame to me…No wonder Thorn didn’t draft well. He was more concerned with his superstar theory on how to build a winning team then building one the old fashioned way with good drafting and smart trades.
I never thought Thorn was a grest G.M….If I recall Jason Kidd and Vince Carter were practically given to him as long as we would pick up the huge contracts from Dallas and Toronto…
Thorn’s biggest failure was finding another good big man to play along side those early and middle 2000’s teams especially aftter K-Mart left…
In Thorn I never trusted but he sure seemed liked a swell guy on camera…

that is a recap of HamBerger's BS article
and he is wrong, by amnestying Haywood and cutting Odom they won’t be close enought to 2 maxes, those 2 are moves they need to make to have room for ONE max.
I just can't stand the bias everyone in the media has against us
Dwight has the NETS as his preferred destination… no one cares, they just ignore that and think he’ll go to Dallas if he becomes a free agent.
Jim Buss basically hinted at Dwight not being willing to go there… no one cares, they just ignore it and assume he’ll end up there.
The Nets do have the cap space to sign both Deron and Dwight to max contracts, Dallas doesn’t… no one cares, they just assume they will.
The Nets suck with a gutted roster full of injured players (the few good we actually have), place holders, cap fillers and guys who won’t be here come summertime, and it means DWill is gone even if he says he sees the big picture. OTOH, Dallas, who was supposed to be title contenders, are receiving an embarrassing blow out after another, yet that won’t affect how attractive they look to free agents.

…can we win in a blowout for once? I know with the talent level we have, it’s unlikely. Still, a blowout win tonight would ease the blowout loss to the Heat this weekend.
NETS are going to take this one. D-Will is hungry for the win, and I think Humphries rebounding ability is going to allow Okur to follow Bargnani around on the perimeter.
Morrow is going to find his stroke, and so is Shawne Williams- I know Brook Lopez isn’t there but these guys are also missing some wide open shots, too, especially you, Shawne Williams.
Stevenson has shown the ability to hit the 3 so we are going to rely on him tonight. The only way the Nets win is with good defense. Go NETS!
