S-Jax, D-Will, D12 Brooklyn Bound?

PrintStefan Bondy talked to both Stephen Jackson and Deron Williams Sunday night and the two formed a mutual admiration society, minus only Dwight Howard.
"(Howard and Williams) is a championship contending team right there," Jackson said. "Of course I’d want to play on that team."
What team? The Brooklyn team. "I’m from the other side of Texas (far from Dallas). I don’t want to play there." Jackson, who has $10.1 million on his contract next season, even joked with Nets ballboys about whether they had his uniform ready.
D-Will was no less enthused about S-Jax. "I like his game. He’s very versatile. He’s the type of guy that’s 6-8, and he’s guarding the point guard. He has a lot of toughness."
In later tweets, Bondy guessed that "only way Jackson fits on a team w/ Deron and Dwight is if he's amnestied and picked up for much less than his salary next season of 10 mill." But last month, John Hollinger was able to work out separate trade proposals for both Jackson and Howard.
Said D-Will: 'We’ll see going forward. I’m sure it’s a possibility at some point'.”

Deron doesn't mention of course that Jackson's shooting 36% from the field this season and 28% from three
Sure the friction with Skiles has something to do with it, but his career averages aren’t a whole lot better: 41.6% from the field and 33.7% from three. Both barely passing marks
looks like
jackson would fit right in with us right now with those percentages

It is a little concerning that Dwight and Deron seem to not be the best talent evaluators, BUT
WE NEED DWIGHT. I don’t care if it means we have to take on this guy too. With what’s going on in the Garden right now, sell the farm to get Dwight and Deron together. Like the Knicks have showed, “if you build it, they will come.” Guys like J.R., Baron, and Tyson all were willing to take smaller roles to play with a solid core. I’m sure guys like Allen/Garnett/AK would all consider coming to Brooklyn on the cheap if we get Dwight/Deron together.

Chandler got an insane amount of $$$ from the Knicks
That is why he went there. It had nothing to do with their core.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...

that is true about Chandler
But Garnett and Allen are more hungry about Championships than Dollars so it wont be a problem with them about this thing
There's no doubt the Nets FO sees what's goin on.
They will sell the farm and all Nets fans shouldnt complain. I want to be like the Knicks! I want the headlines, the national TV games, the cheap but good free agents and most importantly the Wins. I believe we will get this done and I’m never and I mean never this positive about anything. We will get it done, whatever it takes!

You must not be watching what he's been doing off the bench in ATL
He’s a bum on his standards but for a bench player making 2mil a season he is far from a bum.
Well, right now it's gonna be what Dwight and Deron wants, Dwight and Deron gets
Even if it means doing things like Orlando did by signing Big Baby and getting Arenas
Why would he come to a roster
that he even said is not a championship contender.

This is going to be a superfriends team.
“He has a lot of toughness.”
This worries me. They are looking at friends with a perceived toughness quality. Let’s ignore the face that Jackson has been playing like crap. If Dwight is here by March 15th him and Deron will be calling the shots from there on out. And somehow Billy will have to find a way to get Jackson on this team. Now both Deron and Dwight have praised him, and Jackson the two of them. I don’t know how much more obvious the plan can be.
But who cares, it’s Linsanity right now.
I think it's fine.
Man
Dwight and Deron can demand that King brings in Adam Morrison for all I care, just get those two together so we can stop being pathetic. I’m tired of the Nets and their ignorance

I’m only half joking when I say I’d kinda like to see us bring in Morrison. He put up 16 ppg in in the same league Jan Vesely only averaged 10 ppg in and just put up 19 ppg and won a championship with… Besiktas. He’s bulked up significantly…. and what am I saying? Am I really trying to talk myself into Adam Morrison?

Honestly, who cares at this point though?
Anything is better than what we have right now. I just want to see playoff basketball again. If it means giving too much control to Dwill/Dwight, so be it. We absolutely need Dwight, even more than ever before, ASAP. Lin is making the entire basketball world turn their heads around towards the Knicks and we must have a great player like Howard (who is also one of the 3 or 4 most popular player in the league) and Deron to match the hype of the Knicks. The franchise kind of depends on it at this point.

This is not happening
Jackson, who has $10.1 million on his contract next season, even joked with Nets ballboys about whether they had his uniform ready.
Its nice that Jax wants back in if we make the trade, but it’s not happening unless Milwaukee takes some of our garbage off of our hands and we’ll already be tied up absorbing Dwight and Hedo

Stefan Bondy @NYDNInterNets Reply Retweet Favorite · Open
The Nets have the expiring contracts — including Mehmet Okur or Kris Humphries — to match S Jax’s salary in a trade, but only way Jackson fits on a team w/ Deron and Dwight is if he’s amnestied and picked up for much less than his salary next season of 10 mill

Not trading those guys to get Jax. Need them to get Howard - at least Memo anyway.
I keep saying we should offer Shawne and Petro – a shooter off the bench,(Jax isn’t playing anywway) and another big body for the injured big men Mil has, maybe offer a futrue second rounder to go with it.
That would be great
Petro and shawne! Give them a second or 2 just for being nice guys
Exactly
Of course you only make the deal after a Howard trade. I think James or Gaines would also have to be included for salary matching purposes, but for Milwaukee, it’s addition by subtraction.
Make it happen
Ill take S-Jax at the 3

To be fair the only way he goes anywhere is if he's amnestied
Nobody is trading for him awful contract with another $10million due next season. It would explain him playing up about wanting out and basically being a complete cry baby moaning about everything.
He’s praying they amnesty him so he can go join Orlando or us in the offseason. He’s a crap basketball player who even at his best wasn’t exactly a star, add in the fact he is only getting worse due to already being 33 means we cant and shouldnt touch him with a barge pole.
The whole thing changes though if he’s amnestied then we could pick him up for a vet min which i would do no problem.
by N.Ireland Nets Fan on Feb 20, 2012 9:32 AM EST reply actions
No reality is I think they keep him
Even if they leave him at home so they get the $10million cleared off their cap in the summer of 2013.
Lets be real here, Jackson is bringing back nothing, his trade value is negative
by N.Ireland Nets Fan on Feb 20, 2012 10:04 AM EST up reply actions
The Bucks are not financially solid
amnestying him makes good business sense, and every day Scott Skiles refuses to play him, his market value shrinks.
I will say this: next year, the year before the restrictive CBA rules take effect, expiring deals should be valuable.

If they amnesty him, they still have to pay him though. Even from a financial standpoint, where’s the benefit?
Dwight Howard wouldn't start over Johan Petro
okay how does the bid goes again?
if the Wizards bid on him for only 3 mil but the Bulls bid 7 million would he go to the Wizards because they get first dibs or the Bulls because they bid higher?
and if he goes to Wizards if two teams with same records bid does tiebreaker go to whoever bid most money?

First things first, has anyone figured out if a Stephen Jackson trade is even possible, or would doing it leave the Nets with no contract to match with Dwight's in case of a trade or no cap space to sign him with?
Stephen Jackson’s gonna get traded no doubt, but don’t know if it’s even possible to get him to the Nets unless they’re gonna wait for next year
not happening
unless he’s amnestied. There is no way that we can trade for him.

If it did happen in July
I take it that the same rules would apply as the last round of amnesties ie that teams bid for the the contract and highest bidder gets the player for the bid made for the remainder of the contract (just a 1 year deal for Jackson then). So therefore IF Jackson was amnestied we might struggle to have cap room to offer much at all due to either having traded for Howard or saving cap for Howard.
Could be way overthinking this lol

jackson and the bucks can negotiate a buyout if he really wants out?
yeah that was obvious by his effort last night
Jax is a veteran player, and even though he was only on the floor last night for like 5 minutes it was abundantly clear he was giving no effort. Was surprised nobody on YES alluded to this.
Yeah, it is no secret that he wants out, and so do the Bucks.

but if it gets you dwight and deron you gotta do it. he expires after next year anyway. we have enough expiring contracts, and ballast on the books: farmar, shawne, petro, morrow…to make it work

i dont want to deal morrow at all.
that’s why i threw in the little disclaimer. i feel morrow and farmar make the other luxury and because deron handles the ball and so do shon and yatta, i prefer morrow alot (also a much better shooter).
just sayin this is workable capwise.

I also want him…..heck if they want grahamvp then i want grahamvp. Its that simple lol

I know net income and netsdaily aren't trade machine fans...
But I used it, solely to see if things work for jax and they do
-farmar petro or farmar shawne
-farmar james jordan gaines if they want to look at some kids. even a big expirer (though we need those for a dwight deal)
*they may not deal him and wait to give him the amnesty hook at the end of the season…in which case we’d put the claim in.
all im saying is there’s a slew of workable trade options that don’t kill our assets chasing howard, and that may even make sense for milwaukee if it prefers filling his cap hold with assets to wiping his salary.
thats fine
but if you do that, you lose chips for Howard.
IF the Magic want to keep Howard, then you can do it, but why do it? If he’s amnestied, you get him next year at a reduced price.
Also, who’s a better get…him or AK-47 and the Nets interest in Kirilenko continues.
Finally, if the Nets were thinking of trading for SJax before the deadline, why would they be willing to sign Balkman, and they are.

i think it's ok if it doesn't hurt assets for the howard deal..
and i don’t know what the assets for howard are.
good chance as you believe: with his big cap # and talking himself out of town, he seems like an amnesty candidate
I think a combo of Shawne, Petro and James should get it done.
Shawne gives them a shooter off the bench (Jax doesn’t play anyway), petro gives them another big body to cover for the injuries, James gives them a nother salary they can drop or see if he recovers and keep him.
Balkman
because of the three day weekend, Balkman clears waivers on Wednesday. Same day, Emmett’s 10-day runs out.
Get my drift?

Would the Bucks be willing to do Turkoglu for SJax?
Probably not but it would be great if they were. SJax’s has 2 years (including this one) left, instead of Hedo’s 3 years.
If not, the only way we should get SJax is if Bucks amnesty him and he signs for the minimum.
He is 35!
If he is 8 years younger I would love him on the team.

OT but didnt anyone watch Heat-Magic yesterday?
Dwight literally gave ZERO effort. ESPN did a highlight package showing a few plays where he didnt even jump or put a hand up when Wade drove at him.
We all know he has one foot out the door but SVG must want to ring his neck.

if that's what gets the Knicks Howard, they'll trade Melo
Amare/Chandler won’t be enough for Orlando, but Melo will be. Orlando won’t even insist on dumping Hedo as long as they get another star to draw in the crowds.
In the game thread, before this one went up, I posted something about how the Knicks are now probably willing to trade Melo for Dwight without a re-sign guarantee.
Melo has become dispensable, especially for a shot at Howard. Replacing Melo with Howard now makes them legit contenders. Howard could be swayed by the bright lights at MSG and he’ll still be the face of the franchise.
If Howard doesn’t re-sign, they at least get rid of Melo’s contract and can sign somebody else who’s a better fit, somebody like Gerald Wallace, who’ll be a Marion-like SF in D’Antoni’s system. But Howard could re-sign too.
Chandler/Melo for Howard/Turk
That could happen! Don’t wanna think about it.
Him again? If it gets us Dwight, sure,

D12 rumors/reports = tease
I swear, the way some things are reported, like the SJax stuff, it’s as if we already have DWill and D12 in the fold.
Any news on how Brook Lopez is feeling today ?
Right now his health should be our main concern. A healthy Brook is vital for our future whether it’s with Orlando or ultimately with us…
Garden would be buzzing again
Don’t let their 3 point shooters alone. Novak and JR would light it up. Lin also hit some momentum changing 3s. Melo would be back so we’ll have our hands full given that this is the 3rd game in three nights. Hump and Sheldon need to dominate boards and DWill and Brooks need to score.. I hope we are not getting blown out though.
Why not play Brook for another 20+ minutes.

Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
It's going to be Melo for Dwight straight-up, no Chandler
A locked-in StarMelo will be enough for Orlando (maybe with some minor throw-ins like Shumper/Fields, late picks). The Knicks will keep Chandler in case Dwight doesn’t re-sign.
I know, it’s going to be really baaad if that happens.
i doubt orlando just takes Melo. plus any team that gets Dwight will have to take on Turk’s contract
by avilanets85 on Feb 20, 2012 12:19 PM EST up reply actions
Unfortunately I think Orlando will take even just Melo over the Lopez package or Bynum. That’s star power over sense.
The Knicks will hold on to Chandler for in case Dwight doesn’t re-sign. They’re not that desperate like us. At most, Orlando could insist NY take Big Baby. And Melo will still be more appealing to Orlando in terms of getting a star for a star no matter the supporting cast.

Stevenson sounds like he wants to be hereand, unfortunately, Shawne will more than likely pick up his option.
Don't want Memo back.
If Shawne is only playing badly because of his health, I’d be fine with him being back.
Memo is a good additon, with a healthy back, for 15 minutes a game.
can shoot and pass – super upgrade from Petro.
Anything is an upgrade over Petro

I don't

Not a single person on this board will be complaining about not having a draft pick or Marshon Brooks when Dwight Howard is holding up a Nets jersey in a press conference.

people are prolly gonna be like oh man marshon dropped 20 for the 4-22 magic next year. its crazy id rather have dwill and dwight right now and i could care less who we give up
Ummm...where's all this Melo to ORL coming from?
I mean…unless ORL missed what NYK was doing before Linsanity, the Melo version of Knicks weren’t looking too great.

Right, Melo's still a star
Didn’t fit with the Knicks but he’s still a 25-27 ppg scorer locked in to a contract.
look...a few weeks ago, I was coming up with multiple trade Scenerios that landed D12 in a Knick uni
It was paranoia. Could it happen? Yup. Knicks have had recent success in getting stars somehow….even if those stars have glaring flaws.
I can totally see the Knicks trying to destroy the Nets plans if they could and wouldn’t think twice about it even if it cost them their own success for one season.
We’ll see though. If NYK gets involved, it’ll be because ORL will be using them to strip the Nets of assets.

I'm sure he will put up the numbers if he was shipped to ORL and be "the man"
and his teammates will hate him. SVG will lose hair and forget about the voice.
This is an angle that's hard to argue
but there is an argument. Melo’s contract will downright ugly should he not be able to make that team a playoff squad. If Melo failed(which is more than just a slim possibility), now they’d be stuck in a similar situation with what they had done when they signed both TMac and Grant Hill. Two bad contracts that really wasn’t worth it. In this scenario they’d have 3 bad contracts…or 4 if you factor in Chandler into the trade — Melo, JRich, Big Baby, and Chandler.

I think it at least gives them status quo of 1st/2nd rd exit in the PO
alternative can be much uglier. remember, the owner wants something NOW
also, Melo will be a good future trade piece for Orlando if it doesn't work out
See the goodies Denver got
I think Melo's trade value is way down
based on NYK’s failures early on and I think GMz know that Melo is really just a scorer who needs to ball in his hands to be effective. Right now, the league is in love with PGs. It’s a PG driven league.

If Orlando called the knicks and told them they wanted Shumpert, Melo and Chandler for Dwight, the knicks would do it in a heart beat...

Being that Lin is showing to be a good PG in Dantoni's system, it is enticing...
And dwight would not have to play with melo who is a ball hog…
but Dwight wouldn't resign there. It'd be Dwight and Lin and Lin hopes to be where Deron
is, skillwise.
Who is to say that dwight wouldnt re-sign?
Lin is a willing passing PG. He is even saying he does not like having to shoot so much. Dwight would get the chance to play on madison avenue. Do you know how much he would be celebrated if he did what ewing couldn’t: bring a rinh to the knicks
He's not leaving the Garden. Let's be honest.

Dwight and Deron = Win
New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Champions
Given a choice, I think Dwight will still choose Brooklyn over the Knicks
I think Dwight has his mind set on playing with an elite PG. Lin is good, but is still unproven, unlike Deron who has been consistent for years. Lin’s ceiling is probably where Deron is now. Dwight will go for the sure thing. He would also have more personel control with the NETS as opposed to the Knicks.
that is true plus it doesn’t hurt that dwight and d-will are cool with each other

Sure
but he isn’t leaving the Knicks. It isn’t happening.
Dwight wants to be a big time star, he gets that w/ the Knicks.
They're only hot because of media hype. If they were the best team in basketball,
then it would be a differenct story. Dwight can have the same cinderella effect in Brooklyn if he brings the NETS from the basement to a championship caliber team.
yeah right
If you’re Dwight, you go with the hot hand and the hot team

He is interested in the market

Lin is not nearly as good as rose. They are not even in the same class. Dwight knows he would own that team...
And… Playing with Lin would give him much exposure in china. Which means, more money for him…
apparently many people here think he will resign with them
if he truly wants to play with dwill, he will come to Brooklyn, and also why would they shop Melo, they have invested so much into him

If he is traded to the Knicks though, I find it very hard to imagine him leaving in free agency to go to Brooklyn
The allure of MSG, huge fanbase, global appeal with Lin, etc. I’m gonna be honest, if I was a NBA player, I would want to be a Knick. The atmosphere in the Garden when the Knicks are good is incredible. Unmatched by any in North American sports, I’d say.

Of course I don’t want that to happen, I’m just saying.

Why would they shop melo?
Because they were 8 and 15 with him. They now see what many other teams already knew: it’s not easy to win with a player like melo. They would toss emlo in a heartbeat for dwight
this is exactly the point I'm making in regards to Melo for Dwight
at this point it would look like NYK dumping trash for Orlando’s gold. Melo’s skills aren’t trash of course but in terms of winning and such, Orlando fans may know what we know and that’s what the Knicks were pre-Linsanity and since Melo arrived.
All this Knicks stuff is really speculation anyway
i can’t see the Knicks giving up on Melo that quickly, no matter what happens when he returns from injury

Miami Heat

Lebron James: best player in the NBA. Dwayne Wade: second best player. Both great players on BOTH ends of the floor
Wade second best is arguable. I would say Howard is 2nd best in terms of sheer dominance.
Dwight and Deron = Win
New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Champions
Wade is a better player because he is great on both ends of the floor...
Yes Howard can dominate the paint defensively. But wade can shut down your best perimeter player. Offensively between the 2, it aint even close…
dwill+howard is an amazing pairing
miami doesn’t have much depth and thats because their bench is filled with vets, we can easily do that

in that case we would go to 2pg lineup and have the other pg feed the ball to Dwight
but then it’s Avery Johnson and not sure if we will get a decent 2nd pg
What pieces? Stephen Jackson?
Have you seen the free agency pool this upcoming year? We won’t have trade pieces because we have to use those for dwight…

Now I want you to think about the miami heat, and how they have been beating the hell out of everybody this year. Including howard yesterday.
Which one of those guys helps us against that team?
Orlando doesn not have a PG like Deron.
Who is there bench?
there bench is better than ours would be if we traded for howard...
And in case you did not watch the ECF last year, Lebron shuts down point guards
Not this time, there are other guys to worry about
Interior scoring, open three’s, slasher to the basket.
Right now all we have is outside shooting – we’re lucky we’ve won 9 games.
They have two dominant guys atheier respective positions
Nets would have 2 dominant guys at theirs. It comes down to the other pieces. They have Bosh, we would need a third piece – Gerald Wallace and then the others would be vets that are smart with playoff experience that still have game to contribute -
Allen
Jamison
KG
Miller
Jones
Who else would they have to worry about on the nets?
Lebron would jump on dwill. he would take away penetration and passing lanes. Wade would take whatever other threat on the perimeter. As for Howard, between fouling him, and allowing guys like Joel Anthony to pound him, how effective would he be?
Take a chance on getting Dwight in free agency...
We cant beat miami with speed. But we would kill them in size. They could not handle lopez and Howard. Also… with our #1 pick, we can pick up a quality SF. That would give us 3 tough perimeter players. Miami only has 2 great perimeter defenders. Dwight in free agency will also give us a better bench because we gave up nothing for him…
High risk, higher reward!
Howard, Dwill and average talent is not beating Miami. It’s worth the risk because it’s the only way we can beat that team…
ok i get that but all i’m saying is that we don’t know for sure if dwight is going wait til free agency. we can’t control that
this is true...
but this is the position the nets put themselves in when they gave up so much to get dwill. the team is in a tough bind
So...
What is your plan for turning this team into a contender? I’m sure the Nets would love to hear it.

The more stuff I read here recently the more Nets fans are starting to sound like nix/lakers fans
There’s no doubt in my mind if Dwight gets traded to ANY winning team in a big market, he will re-sign there. Look at CP3, he supposedly only wanted the Knicks before the season started but was very quickly sold on the Clips. Dwight is just gonna walk away from MSG (which lets be real, is 10000x better than the Brick) and a good core to play with Deron? He’s gonna leave Kobe Bryant at the altar to play with Deron? It’s not happening! Personally, I think the best chance to land him came and went in the pre season, but Billy King can and will give up every last asset he has to get Dwight. People saying ORL can choose between Marshon and the nets 1st rounder next year, you sound ridiculous. Look at what the Clips gave up for CP3, who doesn’t even impact a team the way Dwight Howard does.

You’re not dealing with a normal NBA franchise who looks at the big picture and has their sights set down the road.

CP3 isn't sold on the Clippers
He didn’t sign an extension with them either. All he did was agree to excercise the last year of his contract. He will be a FA after next season and my guess is he ends up a Knick eventually. The Knicks seem to always get the players they want eventually. With the trade rumors flying about Amare, Melo and Chandler i wouldn’t be surprised if they moved the right pieces to get him. Whos to say CP3 doesn’t tell LAC he isn’t resigning with them next season and the Knicks package Lin to them for CP3? Never underestimate the Knicks… As much as we hate them they have out shined us in every way possible.
As for Kobe… He is in his mid 30’s. As great as he is, he will be falling off soon. Then Dwight is left in LA with nothing. same situation he is in right now with ORL. No cap, underachieving talent, no title.
You can tell he loves the Clips

Lopez/Marshon > Kaman/Gordon
I know Aminu was part of that trade and pick I believe, but the Nets would be able to add more pieces that would either equal or do better than what Clips gave up for CP3
The Knicks arent trading Melo and Chandler
there has been no mention of it, and it is completely unlikely. If they did it, they wouldnt even be a championship caliber team

Anyone think...
there are WAY too many suites and luxury areas at Barclays? Wish they would appeal more to the average fan?
the Nets are going to cater to the wealthy
Thank God for NetsDaily

Why don't they have casinos with Craps in Florida????
I had a dream last night that I had a monster 2 hour roll. Turned $500 to $25,000.
I digress……Let’s go Nets!

Already has one of the highest foreclosure rates…what you want to be known as the ‘bankruptcy’ state?

Florida Casinos have all games except Craps & Roulette
Sucks to have to get on a flight to Nassau (Bahamas) to throw some dice.

Jason Kidd won the first Skills Challenge
record I think is Steve Nash
I think it's fine.

Yup
Nash has one twice. In 2005 he got a record 25.4 seconds.
In 2008, Deron won with 25.5 seconds.
I think it's fine.

lol...that should read
Nash has won twice…
I think it's fine.

Yes he does
25.8 sec in 2008 I think
by djeterfan on Feb 20, 2012 2:13 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Just looked it up
He holds the record with 25.5s in 2008
by djeterfan on Feb 20, 2012 2:14 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Here is something weird.
Nash holds a time 25.4…but that is not the record. Deron’s 25.5 is.
I think it's fine.

According to wikipedia
I think it's fine.

According to NBA.com, Nash has the record.
2008
Deron Williams Breezes To Skills Title
Deron Williams shook off some jitters in the first round and was flawless in the finals (no missed shots, every pass through the hoops) to edge Chris Paul for the 2008 Playstation Skills Challenge title. Williams’ final time of 25.5 seconds was just one tick off the all-time mark set by Steve Nash in the first round in 2005.
I think it's fine.

That's surreal.
First Deron, and then Kidd. Little did we know that Deron would be in a Nets jersey.
I think it's fine.

If only nets still had T-Will, and he wasn't being an idiot, he'd be in slam dunk contest every year
I was talking to someone yesterday who said...
that T-Will recently said he liked NJ and wouldn’t mind going back there one day and also admitted to making mistakes while in NJ…I don’t have a link but the person who told me this is pretty reliable.
Hey guys...we're famous....(Dallas blog).

NetsDaily has the worst readers ever
1.They think they have Dwight and Deron all locked up.
2. They think they’ll be a serious contender next year with their mighty lottery pick and whatnot.
3.They think Dirk is no longer a superstar.
4.They think Marshon Brooks is the second coming of Allen Iverson (or any other superstar guard).
5.They think fa’s will be lining up to join that sorry a$$ franchise because they’re moving to Brooklyn.
Sample:
http://www.netsdaily.com/2012/…ng-on-to-howard
Dont laugh,but i believe the average db.com poster is actually more educated than the average poster on most other sites.
These Nets fans in particular just seem to be desperate for something good (dwight) to happen to their franchise, some to the point that they’re preaching it in every post.
I am one of the worst readers ever. I am not educated. SMH

we should have a bet between the two sites.

You are quoted in that threat lol, regarding a marshon tweet

Dallas Fans think
that Cubans strategy of overpaying 2nd level stars for the past decade, which did bring them one championship, means that stars are lining up to go to Dallas. Easy to flip this, with all the money Cuban has been dishing out, he could never figure out how to get the A-List players until they’re past their prime like Kidd. Dirk was the best thing to happen to that team, and luckily they faced a Heat team that couldn’t find their footing in the Finals. But let’s be real, Dallas does have a whole lot to offer super-stars, but last I checked the super stars were still flocking to either the East or West coasts. Always been that way, always will be.
they called us homers
They can go to hell, the bunch of inbreds.
ND should waive the rules for us for a brief moment in the event that “Lukor” or any other country bumpkin decides to come over here to troll, so we can tear him a new one before ND hits ’em with the blessed banhammer of victory. I would let that dude have it bro. I would make his mother blush.
Look at what they wrote about NI

scumbags. No one outside of here is allowed to say this, NI is a pillar of our community.

All Star weekend
The Nets need to give us something. Morrow needs to win the 3 pt competition, Deron needs to win the skills challenge, Marshon needs to have a highlight reel worthy performance in the rook/soph game.
We deserve something positive!
Pretty interesting...
that Howard will be hanging with the two Nets players he mentioned last year in that interview…
I think its done M I K E
As much as he wants the bog market and to start his own legacy in Brooklyn he seems to want to play with his friends for better or worse, Kobe and him never seemed close neither did him Melo, Lebron, or Wade although they respect each other.
"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."
Yep...It's like back in High School...
You end up hanging out with a certain clique or best buddy…Howard is a big kid at heart and wants to hang with Mr. Cool…Deron Williams.
Wasn't really impressed by S Jax last night
He played a whole 5 minutes last night and gave absolutely no effort. At one point i shook my head because somebody his age, regardless of current situation, should be a better teammate than that.
I don't want Jackson
however it seems like this is just more news fluff in our favor. If Dwill and Jackson are expecting Dwight together in brooklyn, then that’s better news for us.
At this point, I’ll take Dwight, Deron and Travis Outlaw as long as we get Dwight.
the rest of this season is going to be brutal to watch. hopefully stern will see us as a big market fracnhise in Brooklyn and award us the #1 pick. not holding my breath but we didn’t even get #1 pick in our 12-70 season.
another point to add
if we do end up getting Jackson, we’ll have 3 out of 5 list of players dwight wanted when he mentioned that list in Russia.
Deron Williams
Anthony Morrow
Stephen Jackson
I've always liked S.Jax
But we either have to orchestrate a 3 team deal that gets us him and Dwight at the same time, or wait until next season when he is hopefully amnestied and maybe he takes the MLE from us, but considering how much he likes to whine about getting an extension, I don’t know if I see that happening.
Not worth his contract, but a great pick up if amnestied. Why?
Assume the worst case scenario in FA: Deron and Dwight would consider Mavs.
They both spoke publicly about wanting to play with SJax
“I’m from the other side of Texas (far from Dallas). I don’t want to play there.”
When we talk about securing our future at a time where the Knicks are on the rise, it would be wise to take any advantage we can get.
Timeless - The 2001-2003 NJ Nets

This idea is deplorable!
That would give the Nets a starting lineup of Williams, Anthony Morrow, Jackson, Turkoglu and Howard, with a bench of Sundiata Gaines, DeShawn Stevenson, Shawne Williams, Jordan Williams and Shelden Williams, with some open roster spots to add to the roster through buy-outs or other methods (perhaps including Gilbert Arenas, who is close friends with Howard and Stevenson).
We would have a non athletic 2 3 & 4. Bench would be horrible and little way to improve it. We can’t move all those pieces for Howard and hope to improve at the same time for the future.
