Welcome Back, New York Nets!
The Nets will be wearing New York Nets throwback uniforms February 6 vs. the Bulls and now, the NBA store is offering Deron Williams ABA Hardwood Classic jerseys online.
The NBA is honoring the anniversary of the founding of the ABA by permitting ABA teams to wear either their old colors on certain nights starting this week. The Pacer, the Nets' big ABA rival, were the first to wear the throwback jerseys this week. Of course, with the upcoming move to Brooklyn, the "New York Nets" theme was special meaning tor the Nets.

I can’t help but think of when JKidd wore the throwbacks and the team marched into the Finals. Good times.

Any word on when they might release our new logo/colors?
I remember NI hinted it would be February, which could be any day now. Perhaps All Star weekend?
I think these should be the new uniforms replacing 'New York' with 'Brooklyn'
I believe a lot of Nets fans share that sentiment. These unis are iconic.
WE WANT LOPEZ! clap clap clap clap clap
They are only wearing the blue jersey? Or the white ones as well.
I love the throwbacks. Most are very nice.

back to the original post...
Despite the ’72 Finals, Nets-Pacers was never much. But they both had huge playoff rivalries with the Kentucky Colonels. Colonels were a great franchise, too bad John Y. Brown took a payout instead of being part of the merger.
Opulence, I has it.
I think the new uniforms are going to wind up looking a lot like these throwbacks. I think the stars and stripes will be updated to a more subtle, modern feel.
No one’s very sure what the colors are going to be, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep the same colors since they’re keeping the same name, maybe swapping the Net blue for the Jay Z blue.

His jumpshot isn't the problem. I don't mind an occassional 15 footer from near the FT line.
The problem is why doesn’t he play more like Sheldon and stay near the basket on offense and stick to his man on defense.
Why doesn’t he just try to use 2 hands to get the ball firmly, instead of bobbling the ball or missing a putback. Does he think making 1 of 5 putbacks justifies not getting possession of ball first? He isn’t The Hump.
Can these jerseys
be personalized?
I have already invested in a Dwill jersey. I dont want to have two Dwill jerseys if there is a likelihood he be here.

I would have liked the Nets to call
New York Nets rather than Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn is one of the borough’s in NY and why would people in other boroughs support Nets. Should have been New York Nets with a nickname as Brooklyn Nets (or something) like Bronx Bombers.
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
I'm from Manhattan and
can’t wait to finally root for the Brooklyn Nets!
I felt the same way last year...
but it seems the name “Brooklyn” has a global reach and of course this is all about business and $$$.
People living in the other borough’s will either root for the Nets or not no matter if they called themselves the NY Nets or Brooklyn Nets…
I know. I'm from NJ so it really doesn't matter
but some people could look that way. New York is known almost all around the world but Brooklyn is limited though it is a nice name.
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
Team names are brands....
…and a brand is more than just recognition. Its about the meaning, what they stand for, and their appeal.
That’s why “Brooklyn” has global appeal. Its not necessarily recognized by common people in places like China and Russia, but once they do and they understand what it stands for, it can be easily as attractive as “New York”.
You could never beat out the Knicks in greater New York
But Brooklyn has equal outside cache and Brooklynites have crazy pride, so that’s the opportunity.

I actually think,
as a Brooklynite, that there is more than a little resentment of Manhattan in the outer boroughs. I could see a lot of people from Queens and the Bronx, for example, jumping on the Nets bandwagon. Some will be bothered by it but plenty won’t, in my opinion.
Why? What did sale do?

there is no Outlaw this year
the problem with Outlaw wasn’t just that he was he was bad, it was that contract. Petro is overpaid, but not Outlaw overpaid. And Shawne’s contract is reasonable and becoming a value as he gets his shot back.

There is no denying how sweet these jerseys are
But given that this is the last season in NJ, I want to see them start reselling some of the ones they used while in NJ. Like the ones from the Petro era. Or even the navy blue roads that said New Jersey across the front of the gray alternate jersey.

I think that’s significant. BK and Dan Fegan are chatting away like old sweethearts. How many more out-of-work clients of Dan Fegan will we be signing over the course of the year?
It's not that significant
1) The Nets needed veterans, Bogans was perfect regardless of who is agent is
2) If anything, it just shows that Fegan and BK talk about things. Does that surprise anyone, considering Howard and the Magic have already told the press that Fegan can talk to the Nets?

NBA agents can make a lot more money in players endorsement contracts...Hmmm ?
Sports agent generally receives between 4 and 10% of the athlete’s playing contract, and 10 to 20% of the athlete’s endorsement contract, though these figures vary. An NFL agent is not allowed to receive more than 3% of his client’s playing contract, and an NBA agent is not permitted to receive more than 4% of his client’s playing contract.
NBA agents are limited to 4% of a player contract.

I just read an article that said Kobe Bryant will make 53 million dollars this year...
LeBron about 49 million and Howard a distant 3rd at 29 according to Forbes…Agents can get a nice chunk of change from those endorsement deals…up to 20% according too Wiki…

Obviously there are other factors here...especially Deron Williams' influence
The Bulls could be a better team for Dwight long-term. And with a coach like Thibodeau, Chiacgo could be amazing. It’s debatable and I actually think Chicago could be a better fit for him than the Nets. We all know Dwight prefers the Nets and it is what it is.

I agree. I think Farmar has been playing at a high level this year.
Some of the Farmar bashing on here is unwarranted and we shouldn’t expect a top tier point guard play out of him. He has been great at hitting shots from the outside this year and providing a spark.
He does have a tendency to force the issue and just wildly run in the paint; however more often than not he’s making the better play.
MarShon the Creator!
To compare Farmar to Brooks doesn't compute in my mind
Very few players can create like Brooks can. And you’re comparing him to Farmar? He’s been good, but not Marshon good.

'The way Farmar is playing...I don't miss Marshon one bit'
I can easily imply from that that you believe Farmar is and can replace Marshon’s production. Which is a comparison of talent and skill between the two players. I don’t know how it’s not a comparison.

All i trying to say is that Farmar has done a nice job stepping up during MarShon’s absence.

by ZR on Feb 2, 2012 3:18 PM EST up reply actions
yeah it's getting pointless. LOL
But, let me just tell you.
I really miss Brook because no other big we have even comes close to putting up 20PPG. Many thought Okur would, but he just hasn’t.
Marshon puts up 15-20 PPG. Farmar has done that and Morrow has picked it up also. Hence, why I don’t miss Marshon as much.
But, yeah we’re done.
"Beware the Ides of March."
I for one never thought Okur would do that
He’s a role player and should be off the bench. He’s clearly not a starter anymore. I too miss Lopez.

I was simply stating that Farmar has been playing the best ball of his career.
Brooks is my favorite Nets player at the moment. He cannot be replaced
MarShon the Creator!
ok. I'm just sharing my opinion and it's disrespectful for you to laugh.
IMO, Farmar has been doing a great job replacing MarShon, during his injury. Essentially, what does MarShon do? He provides offense.
Farmar has been doing just that.
Nets beat Philly and Cavs without MarShon.

Reading comprehension buddy.
You are just making assumptions on what people are writing.
Its like if someone said, “I don’t have any apples (Marshon) at the moment, but oranges (Farmar) are tasting pretty good right now” and you say, “OMG. Are you saying oranges taste better than apples?”
Put it in simple terms and then you can understand your error in comprehension.

Speaking of the ABA and Kentucky...
when young Nets fans get depressed they should read some past Nets history.
1968: The Playoff Game That Never Happened
New Jersey’s 36-42 finish earned the team a tie with the Kentucky Colonels for the fourth and final playoff spot in the ABA’s Eastern Division. A single-game playoff was scheduled to determine which team would advance to face the Minnesota Muskies in the first round of postseason play. Unfortunately for the Americans, the Teaneck Armory was booked for a circus on the scheduled date. Owner Arthur Brown scrambled to find an alternate site and managed to reserve Commack Arena in the Long Island, New York, town of the same name.
When the teams showed up for the game, however, they found that the court was in unplayable condition, with floorboards loose, bolts unscrewed, and basket stanchions unpadded. The Colonels refused to play. ABA commissioner George Mikan ruled the game a forfeit, with Kentucky the winner. The Americans’ first taste of postseason action had ended without so much as an opening jump ball.

Watching the Kentucky Colonels play was when I first fell in love with the game of basketball. It’s good to see the NBA honoring the ABA. Especially when you consider all of the great ABA players that went on to have stellar careers in the NBA.

Stephen A has Deron Williams the top PG in the league…great argument
Stephen A Smith has been saying all along that he loves Dwight with Deron in Brooklyn

Totally agree!!!
In Kurt rambis’s top five he had Dwill ranked 4th behind Westbrook (3rd), Rose (2nd) and of course Paul (1st). This is all misleading because if you look at the stats one could make a case for Dwill being the best PG in the league. 1. Considering the lack of talent he has had to play with this season he is averaging 20.5 ppg and 8.5 assists with 186 totals assists. Let’s look at. The PG’s ahead of him according to Kurt Rambis:
3. Westbrook-team is significantly better than the nets and has a superstar in Kevin Durant to play with and shoulder the load averages 21.9 ppg, 5.7 apg and has a total of 119 assists. He is not better than Dwill.
2. D-rose-again a better cast of characters around him than Dwill has and I think we all agree that he is a better overall player than he is a True PG. Rose averages 23.1 ppg, 7.7 apg and has 147 total assists. As far as true natural PG’s go Dwill is better!
1. Paul-like a broken record he too has a way better cast of teammates then Dwill has, Paul averages 19.2 ppg and 9.1 apg with 127 total assists. If I had to pick between these two Dwill 1A, Paul 1B, based off of the team each one plays for.
So in a nutshell Dwill is the best PG in the league!!!

They still need to get something back — right now he’s their fourth wing, and he’s better than anybody else’s fourth wing, and in a season like this your fourth wing is going to have to play major minutes on some nights. The contract is a problem too. But I have a feeling they can get something done.

Lopez is on a terrible team in NJ (the roster before or after Deron showed up), even Dwight (if you switch him with Lopez) around that cast and crew can’t get them to the playoffs either.

About Deron from Hollinger
Inevitable; by the way, he had a wicked throwdown on Hibbert two days ago that was completely obscured by Blakemania. More importantly, the Nets are grinding out some wins and leaving the door open for a playoff run if they can get Dwight at the deadline. Can you imagine Miami earning the top seed only to face a 31-35 Nets team with Deron and Dwight in Round 1?

There was mention of him not returning until around All Star game, so I can’t imagine why he would be SMH.
Shouldn’t be any option for surgery for that kind of fracture.
He should be able to play on it, as long as not swollen. But then you know Avery’s caution.
Not sure a broken pinky toe requires surgery just rest

On first blush, Williams has terrific numbers. But he is shooting 41 percent, leads the NBA in turnovers and pilots a lottery team. Irving and Jennings are more deserving.

Paul - Love the guy but I love the guy we got more.
Rondo - Like that he realized that he cant be a SG on that Boston team and likes to pass.
Westbrook - He would be below Rose but he HAS TO PASS THE BALL because of DURANT
Rose - People rank this guy high as a PG but he is just another Iverson – SG in a PG body- He is a Great Player but he isnt the BEST PG – Best Guard I can except but not PG

Let Patrick Ewings contract come off the books. Present a final contract for him to retire a Knick. If he didnt like it, then it wasnt your fault you tried to keep him. Then you would have had cap space to do whatever you wanted. Instead they got an overpaid Glenn Rice. SMH!!!!

Best Players playing PG
1. Derrick Rose
2. Deron Williams
3. Chris Paul
4. Russell Westbrook
5. Steve Nash/ Rajon Rondo
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
I never realized how MONSTROUS Jordan's '89 season was
2. Do you realize that LeBron is having one of the greatest statistical seasons of all time?
I always thought Jordan’s 1988-89 season (32.5 PPG, 8.0 APG, 8.0 RPG, 2.9 SPG, 53.8 percent FG, 85 percent FT, 31.1 PER) was the most impressive statistical season by a modern perimeter player … and yet, here’s LeBron averaging 29.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 55 percent shooting and a 33.38 PER (highest ever) during a condensed schedule. It’s impossible. How can someone have their greatest season during THIS season?

Don’t get me wrong, Lebron is having a great year, but considering:
1. The nature of the NBA (physicality)
2. Speaking of physicality, the body type difference between the two
3. More assists to lesser player for Jordan
4. Though this season is condensed, Jordan did all of that (higher numbers everywhere) consistently through 82 games.
Crazy
hah, nah man i dont think so. lol

“I’m just trying to get as many wins as possible,” Williams said. "Early on in the season, I was letting it effect me too much. I was getting too down, so I was trying to be positive.
“I know it’s a tough situation we’re in, with all of these guys going down and being hurt. I’ve got to take it upon myself, as a leader of this team, to try and step up and make plays at both ends of the court.”

Glad he's been stepping up and taking responsibility.

I wonder if Deron ever feels a bit uneazy and maybe even guility...
knowing that he may be one of the main reasons that so many of his current teammates might not be on this team next season or by March 15th ?

WoW!
Indiana going after Kaman.
I just checked Shamsports. They have cap space to take him without trading any big contracts.
Damn Indiana GM deserves Executive to the Year. Unless BKing gets Dwight and we make the Playoffs.
The DONT Trade MarShon Brooks Movement!!!!!!!
Yeah I saw that sure they would have to give up a pick and young player tho
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
THIS JUST IN!!!
