Nets May Get Brooks Back Friday, Expect Lopez After Break

The Nets had previously said that MarShon Brooks' broken toe would keep him out through this weekend's games against the Pistons and Spurs. But on Friday morning, the team said that Brooks is a game-time decision for Friday night's game in Detroit, possibly giving the Nets 10 healthy bodies, a luxury lately.

Brooks has missed the last six games with the broken toe, which he suffered after returning from a three-game absence with a sore Achilles. In total, the Nets are 4-6 without him, 4-13 with him, and 3-6 with him in the starting lineup.

Talking to reporters Friday morning, Billy King indicated that he expects Brook Lopez back after the All-Star break. "I know in Dallas," King said, "God willing, without any more injuries, we'll have all our guys playing except for the ones out for the season." King also defended Deron Williams selection as an All-Star reserve, contending the team's record is a function of all the injuries, not his play or leadership.

The Nets are in Dallas on Tuesday, Feb. 28 for their first game after the break.

I look our full squad.
Deron/Farmer/Gaines
Morrow/Stevenson
Marshon/Shawne
Hump/Sheldon
Brook/OkurPetro
I think this is pretty solid barring a blockbuster trade. I think Marshon plays small forward for the rest of the season. We are big enough down low to give him help and he is too good to keep out of the staring lineup. Lopez changes everything.

It is solid

Unfortunately when you lose a 20PPG scorer and an emerging scorer like Brooks, the whole dynamic changes.

It is solid, but would rather have a true SF and slide Marshon back to starting at the two

So Far, the Best Article Analyzing Dwight's Option and the MYTH of leaving $30 million on the Table to sign with the Nets as Free Agent

http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-am-setting-it-straight-on-howards-options?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nba-am-setting-it-straight-on-howards-options&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Article correctly concludes the decision for Dwight is really about $3.5 million dollars difference to leave as a free agent “One thing is clear, in NBA money $3,419,344 over four years isn’t much of a deterrent, especially if its moving from Orlando to the top media market in the world.”

So this really comes down to the following comparison (in Dwight’s head). If Orlando doesn’t trade him, should he:

A) Re-sign with Orlando because he can get a five year deal and 7.5% raises; or

B) Sign with the team of his choice (eg: NJ or Dallas) for a four year deal and 4.5% raises.

So it’s a matter of choosing between the team and the money. But how much money? Let’s look at the years first. People like to say "he’s giving up $20 million," but that’s not accurate. That’s because they’re comparing a four year contract to a five year contract. The comparison is only valid if this is the last contract he’s ever going to sign. Unless something catastrophic happens, he’s going to sign another contract or extension eventually, so he’ll eventually get paid for that fifth year. What we’re really talking about is locking in that money now, as protection against a catastrophic injury in the next three years that would prevent him from signing that next contract. I don’t think he chooses his teams on the basis of what amounts to an insurance policy.

The other factor is the raises. Let’s compare apples to apples — a four year deal in either case. With 7.5% raises he gets $84,533,793 over four years (his starting salary is $18,996,358 whether he re-signs or changes teams). With 4.5% raises it’s $81,114,449 over four years — a difference of $3,419,344 over four years, or an average of about $855K per year.

So the REAL question is, which choice does Dwight make:
A) Re-sign with Orlando to get an extra $855K per year and insurance for that fifth year; or
B) Sign with the team of his choice for $855K less per year, and waiting 3 years for the opportunity to lock in the salary for year 5.

so he's actually only leaving

$3.4MM on the table.

$3.4MM+5th year Guaranteed Insurance Policy which would be irrelevant unless Howard suffers a career ending injury in next couple of years

If I am Howard the risk is minimal enough given the unlimited potential benefits in moving to the #1 market in NBA and playing with a proven all-star point guard+solid role players, including possibly Lopez and MKG! I do hope Orlando calls his bluff and don’t trade him…..Stakes are High!

Should Marshon start at SF again?

Morrow locked up that starting SG spot alongside DWill but should we go with the old DWill-Morrow-Brooks or keep DWill-Morrow-Shawne (until Stevenson returns) to start and bring Marshon off the bench as 6th man (alongside Farmar though)?

Farmar and Brooks do not play well together

Marshon needs to be in the starting rotation. He’s undersized but what we give up in size he could make up in scoring.

“He’s been following the same rehab and increasing a little more movement and doing a little more,” King said. “I think he’ll take part in the morning shootaround [Friday], and then we’ll see how he goes, but his progression is still the same.”

How do people feel about picking up Garnett in the offseason

If we trade for Dwight We are going to need a PF. Hump might want more money then we are going to have availible and might not be the best fit next to D12.

Garnett on the otherhand is prob not in the Celtics rebuilding plans. He would prob be availible for a vet min contract to play with a contender. He also would fit very nicely next to Howard with his preference for playing offense on the perimeter. Add to it his ability to play very strong defense, especaly vs pick and roll and a KG/D12/SWAG/DWILL pairing might be unstopable.

-The Heat would also make sense.

Not only that

Garnett can stretch the floor. He has range from about 18-20 feet. That’s great playing alongside someone like Howard. He’s a perfect fit for the Nets on and off the court. If he can be had for nothing, after acquiring Howard, I do the deal.

He’s also a fan favorite. He can help sell tickets.

D12 and Hump= we will get 90% of rebounds

We dont need 90% of the rebounds. We need to have floor spacing. Hump would congest the paint for Howard.

I understand this argument

Garnett can command more attention and stretch the floor, something Hump cannot.

It would be tough to get around Hump and Howard defensively though. Just a question of fit and cost-effectiveness. Neither is a bad option.

I hate KG but every team needs a crazy but good player like Ron Artest...

They’re like wildcards in the game… keeps the other team second-guessing themselves…

Look at Reggie Evans, after he lost his “craziness”, he became a non-factor in games because teams now know what to expect from him and sadly it’s mostly not much…

Unless we can lock up the Hump for much less for multiple years…
Garnett will be a much better compliment to Howard (medium-range shot; smart defender and communicates with teammates constantly on the floor) for the right price…

But definitely i want to see Howard/Lopez/MKG or Harrison Barnes/Brooks/D-Will take the floor! :)

"My response to that is, all right, let’s — you pick a team, you wanna pick the Lakers or Oklahoma? You pick ‘em. Pick a team. Oklahoma? Ok, all right. Let’s say Deron is Kevin Durant. OK? Who’s Oklahoma’s second best player, probably Westbrook? We don’t have our Westbrook. OK? We don’t have. Who’s their best defender? Sefolosha? We don’t have our Sefolosha. Who’s their backup center, Mohammed? We don’t have him. And I can keep going on and on down the line. “So even if Kevin Durant puts up big numbers and his team has a sub .500 record, without all of those guys, he still would probably be deserving of an All-Star appearance. So considering what Deron’s been through this year — what was he shooting 34 percent through the first 10 games and we were 2-8 and then he turned it up? Considering what he’s been through, he’s an All-Star.”

From DWill:
"That’s how it goes some times. I think it’s unfortunate because there’s a lot of people that could have been all-stars. You look at Rondo, Brandon Jennings, they’re having great seasons. So but I can’t control that. I just go out and play every night. Like I said, you can have the All-Star appearance and give me five more wins right now because we’ll be in contention for a playoff spot."

What is the clamore for Jennings making the Allstar team over DWill?

DWill is 2 points a game better scoring and 3.3 assist a game better.

When you compare the teams scoring efficiencies the Nets score 1.17 points per shot compared to the Bucks 1.14. Take DWill’s 8.6 assists X 1.17 = 10.06 points scored from assist. Jennings is 5.3 assists X 1.14 = 6.04 points scored from assist.

DWill is responsible for 30.96 Points per game in the Nets offense
Jennings is responsible for 24.94 Points per game in the Bucks offense

That’s a 6.02 difference in favor of DWill. These “so called experts” need to sell those Wolf tickets somewhere else. Jennings isnt even close to DWill.

I hope

but it’s a whole different type of offense. We sucked games 1-5 at the very least because we were preparing for a halfcourt trap type offense led by Lopez with Deron and Morrow but ended up having to change to a run and gun 3 point shooting team. Since we’re pretty decent at shooting 3 point shots now i’m hoping lopez can just pop into that offense but i doubt it. not only will he have to work back up to game shape but he’ll probably be very rusty.

same with brooks tonight. I’m hoping he plays ONLY if he’s truly ready to come back. Although…Rose came back from a broken BIG toe in like 8 days. i’m assuming a pinky toe for our rookie should be no issue after i think the 2nd week he’s not played a single game?

No.

We may not need him against detroit if we don’t embarrass ourselves again.

He's healthy

he’ll play a little bit. Doctors said there is no risk of re-injury.

Are you kidding me?

Orlando is the greatest city in America. Which is why I attended college in NYC.

I think it's pretty great looking

FAR better than anyone has done around here with Dwight and a Nets jersey.

That's the last straw...

We don’t need no fake photo of Dwight in a Nets jersey.

We will have the real deal soon.

lol

kinda glad no one is getting trolled by this. That poor fanbase in Orlando is delusional. Nice photoshop though.

Dwill Howard and Lopez?

How are we going to make this happen? Maybe Billy King has something in mind that we don’t know about…

I grabbed 19 rebounds in my first professional game, and somehow found a way to score 20 points. I felt real good about it. I felt that this was the beginning of something good.

Depends if the Nets are "win now" or win in 2015

if its win now, then its all three plus dleaguers, this year’s rookies and whoever is under contract. If not, trade lopez for affordable pieces, bring Boogey over and build up promising rookies from this years draft. That’s the foundations of a dynasty even after dh and dwill show some age.
