Brooklyn Kids Go Wild Over Nets

Photo

Although the visit was announced and publicized, the arrival of three Nets players made students at the Brooklyn High School for Leadership and Community Service scream, cheer and even cry. Deron Williams, Kris Humphries and DeShawn Stevenson ran a basketball clinic at the school but also had a lot of fun.

One male student said of the visit, "I'm excited to see Deron Williams. I'm not excited about seeing anyone else because Deron Williams is my favorite player." while a female student, finding it hard to control herself called Humphries her favorite because "he's so tall and scrumptious." It's part of a big week for Nets community efforts, with three other Nets visiting pediatric patients in Hackensack Monday and three others running a clinic in Warren, N.J. Tuesday.

Brooklyn is goona be so good for this franchise

This is why Dwight wants to be here and the NBA will see.. Brooklyn will be so alive for the Nets. That whole borough will be behind the Nets.

Dwight always talks about needing the fans to stay behind the team… well.. welcome to Brooklyn Dwight.. what jewels would you like on your new crown to match your cape…

wait, here's the best part
What if at the end of next year Deron Williams is fed up of being in Jew Jersey and we
pick him up as a free agent? Then our team would look like this:


C: Dwight Howard
PF: Ryan Anderson
SF: Kevin Durant
SG: JJ Redick
PG Deron Williams

never mind the salary cap, it can happen in my head!!

Wanna see something funny?
As a rookie, Johan showed incredible promise, starting in half the team’s 82 games while averaging over five points and four rebounds in just 18 minutes a night. It was clear there was nowhere to go for the Sonics’ first-round pick but up.

Proof that Thorn was trying to eliminate any promising near future for us
"[He’s] a young player with a defensive presence who should fit well into our frontcourt rotation," said former Nets GM Rod Thorn, who initiated the signing. "We’ve been looking at him for a few years."

soooo...

…if Nets have no choice but to give up all the talent on their squad to get Dwight; is it possible to take back most of the ‘important’ talent from the Magic squad? If we’re going to be in cap hell by taking on Turk’s contract; might as well get as much talent from that trade then. Gimme Turk, JRich, Ryan Anderson and Big Baby with Dwight. I don’t see anything wrong with DWill, JRich, Turk, Anderson, and Dwight as our starting lineup.
