Brooks at "85 Per Cent" for Hawks

Deron Williams was happy to see MarShon Brooks on the court Saturday but said he knew the rookie wasn't at full strength despite his solid play.

"I could tell he was a little – walking a little gingerly the last game, didn’t have all his explosiveness,'' Williams said at shootaround Monday. "So it’ll be good to get him back at full strength.''

Brooks admits that his teammate's assessment may be on the high side. He told reporters his ankle is "about 85 percent,'' adding, "I've played on worse before.'' Two of his teammates are out vs. the Hawks: Mehmet Okur and Damion James.

With Marvin Williams out, starting deshawn and putting him covering joe johnson will be good. Hump can defend josh smith and sheldon vs horford and marshon defend probably mcgrady

He loked like he didn't have his explosiveness last game

But its still impressive going at Battier like that on the bum ankle.

Morrow has been shooting a little better but Brooks plays hard on both ends of the floor.

by MrDollarBills on Jan 9, 2012 3:17 PM EST reply actions  

Morrow is a better SG with Deron on the floor

If Ammo is knocking down shots, DWill can find him very easily. So they make for a good combo. When we have our dull second unit on the floor, I like that we have someone we can go to to create their own shot.

Swag's defense on LBJ was really good...

Caused two turnovers and was frustrating him. Remember that he scored 22 in the first and 29 for the entire games with Swag doing most of the second half defense.

He also made several nice passes and would have had at least 3 more assist if his teammates could hit open 8 foot shots.

I think this guys potential is so high

He has the ability to score at will and I seen flashes that he can become a very good passer for the SG position. If he adds muscle and progresses each year hell be a All-star type player. I know it’s way to early but he just seems so confident and determined that goes a long ways. IMO Vince Carter could have been a all time great but he was lazy and didnt seem as determined and that’s what held him back, MarShon has all the tools and WANTS to be great thats what gets me excited

"If it’s just Dwight and D-Will, he’s better off just staying in Orlando. You want to go to a team that’s championship caliber, and just him and D-Will won’t get it done. There’s got to be other pieces around to make it look sweet."

new DWill concern?

It concerns me a little that DWill may have a little of the Marbury attitude. DWill was the only super-star caliber player to actually play overseas for what…a 5 million contract? Maybe Utah was more concerned about his attitude as a player more than whether he’d leave or not. Utah may have known he was going to take the money to stay but they just didn’t want to have a cancer on their team. C’mon man…Sam Cassel, having won a championship, got here and played like a leader way back when. Maybe we shouldn’t be so concerned about DWill leaving but maybe we should think about if we have a possible head case in the making.

by Versifiervt on Jan 9, 2012 4:04 PM EST reply actions  

I have thought the same thing

I am very down on him and I definitely thought that he was going to be better than what he has been. I know its still early but he seems to be too moody and mostly upset. I also know we should not read too much into body language but he is not projecting (at least on the outside) the best of the attitudes.

I you guys have not noticed without the man on the floor everyone else looks worse than they already look, and yes, even Marshon has looked better with our star on the floor.
How can his effort be questioned when he attacks the basket the way he does. His ribs got killed and he sucked it up and continued to play. He will play better as time goes by, I promiss you this

Unless more bad luck hurts this organization

DWill is staying for the money. Just a feeling. He’ll then force a trade after giving a Brooklyn a try if he has to. And this, to me, is why the Nets are D12’s #1 option, not cuz of the Brooklyn thing…just cuz of DWill and he already knows DWill is taking the money to stay, so D12 to the Nets is likely going to happen at the trade deadline too.

by Versifiervt on Jan 9, 2012 4:18 PM EST up reply actions  

AND Dallas may be in the picture

but my thinking is they’re going after Westbrook. If not, they’ll spend money to build a similar team to the one they had that won the championship…a group of really good players, but not super stars.

DWill/D12 in Dallas is a possibility but I think people are misreading that situation just cuz of the money both players would have to give up to go there.

I dont see Dwill bolting the nets to sign with Dallas as he is the assistant Gm here and will lose out on a lot of money.

More so, Brooklyn is ahead of Dallas on dwights wishlist. I cant see Dwill leaving and teaming up with Dwight on a different team, when they could form a superteam on a team that one of them plays for.

Disagree

Otis already agreed to a trade that by the deadline will now be much better (assuming Lopez regains some form of his self).

Lakers can offer Bynum but no cap relief + miserable picks.

Nets can offer Lopez + tons of cap relief + Marshon Brooks + 2012 lottery pick.

I think we should make a push for a SF.

Even if we do get Dwight at the deadline, it will be tough to make the playoffs. With a SF, it could make us tread water until atleast brook gets back. Trail blazers don’t need both Gerald Wallace and Batum, so one of them could be the answer.

My two cents on trading Marshon...

The ONLY way we include this guy in a trade for Dwight is if the Lakers are willing to trade Gasol and Bynum (a package we know the Magic want) and for some reason Otis demands Brooks in a trade to give us the advantage.

But if the Lakers arent willing to trade those guys and the Mavs have nothing to trade and theres no other team we know Dwight would sign with, then why bid against ourselves and include Marshon.

I dont care how good Dwight is, I dont want to give up “more” than we need to for a player that WANTS to come here and and who we can sign in the off season.

Why do people think that Dwight (or deron) give a flying moiso what the team's record is

Prior to them teaming up? Obviously the record will be poor. I think any player in the league could deal with missing the playoffs ONCE if it meant being a perennial contender for the next 5-10 years

I only wish..

That Both Deron and Dwight could realize that neither the Nets or Magic are winning a title this year regardless of a trade or not.

if johnson and smith can’t hit their shots, the hawks business model is way less effective. we’ll need energy across the board (humphries and sheldon on the boards and in the defensive paint, swag igniting some offense, our three-point corps hitting their open shots) to win.

A healthy Bynum is an all around much better player than Brook...it's that simple

And as of the moment Bynum is healthy and Brook is not.

I did say Brooks showing true all-star potential changes the game, especially if Wallace can still be part of our package. There will be no top five pick if Dwight is with us for more than 1/3 of the season.

Bynum's per minute number have always been excellent...

He is now just staying on the floor for longer stretches.

Bynum plays defense and rebounds like a fiend. Both of which are not Lopez’s strong suit.

Lopez, Brooks and 4 #1 picks or Wallace is better than Bynum but maybe not for an 85-year old owner with a new arena.

I’ll say it again…Brooks is the key.

Even if we can't get wallace anymore BK will get someone else

The man is a genius when it comes to trades.
Bynum is really good but those knee injuries really bring his value down
The man is 24 and has had multiple knee surgeries, this has probably reduced his career by a few years or is an injury away from retirement a la brandon roy. They would be taking a huge chance on him.
I think it’s all up to how Brook comes back from injury and if he is fine and producing.
If the lakers only offer bynum then a package of Brook, wallace or another significant player, and a pick is just as good or better than just bynum. They stay competitive and build for the future at the same time.

by sipitioking on Jan 9, 2012 6:34 PM EST up reply actions

Considering the chemistry that is already their and the way he’s been playing. Also the fact that the Buss’s love him and drafted him makes another reason why they don’t want to trade him.

All Brooks has to beat out ( So far) is Rubio and Kyrie, if he continues to score at a high rate why not?

DWIGHT SAID HE DOESN'T THINK HE'S GONNA GET TRADED THIS YEAR!

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/218173/Howard_Could_Postpone_Free_Agency_For_2013

Quote frome Dwight “EVEN IF THIS IS THE LAST SEASON, let’s go out hard, regardless”.
Article says he could postpone his free agency by one year and become a FA in 2013, though, if he believes the Magic have a legit shot at contending. Doesn’t sound like it though, sounds like he knows this is his last year and he’s gonna become a FA in 2012.

Those hints could be seen as PR on his part

Or distortion of isolated quotes by ORL to use as leverage in trades.

It’s in ORL’s best interest to keep him around (until the deadline, at least), for more reasons than that it might convince him to stay: it improves the quality of our draft pick, it helps to sell more tickets, and improves their record among other things.

If their chemistry was collapsing because of the rumors, it’d be another story. But they seem to be clinking their forks at the dinner table in silence, as if it were business as usual.

just read the article

the guy doesn’t list any sources or anything. just says devos said they can trade him. wouldn’t be surprised if devos has given the ok but nothing there to really suggest he has

Actually I have no problems with anyone joking around

better than reading the usual “Farmer and a pick for _” and Dwight is this, that, and a 3rd.

I see that Norman Oder revealed NI's real identity

It is like unmasking batman. Just another reason to hate Oder and his cronies. It must kill them to see the arena growing before their eyes.

Very impressive resume...Never knew he was such a heavy hitter.

"hate" and accountability
