D-Will "Very Comfortable" With Nets; Looks Forward To D12 Wednesday

Photo

Deron Williams told beat writers Monday night that even though the Nets are only 10-24 and hurting, he is "very comfortable" with the team and understands things take time.

"I’m very comfortable right now," Williams said of the Nets plan. "There’s not much I can really do but just play basketball. That’s what I said I was going to do, from the beginning of the season — play basketball, let everything work itself out.

"We still need to get some guys in here if we’re going to be a better team. There’s no doubt about that. We’re 10-24 right now. So we have to get some better players. But I think everything will work out. … It takes some time to put it together," Williams added.

As for Wednesday's game with the Magic and Dwight Howard, D-Will said he's looking forward to fan reaction. Meanwhile, Fred Kerber reports that at least for now, the Nets have decided to pass on Renaldo Balkman. Interest is "lukewarm" and the Nets may just want to keep a roster spot open till the trade deadline.

Could it also be that Deron just understands the situation

Between injuries and the plan to hold cap space for Dwight or any other player that could build a contending team, a plan that I assume Deron cosigned as his unofficial position as assistant to the GM. Of though I’m hoping the reality is that Deronis at ease knowing Dwight will defiantly be here to take some weight of his shoulders

Is there an outside chance that Nuggets don't match an offer for Chandler?

Nuggets have a ridiculous amount of wing players right now. Harrington, Fernandez, Afflalo, Brewer, & Gallinari when he returns from injury. Although its probably a pipe dream because of our salary cap situation. Any capologists here know if it can work?

Nets have no chance

There are a few teams out there that have cap room and can make a nice offer. However Denver will still match any reasonable offer. He’ll be part of their core with Lawson, nene, gallo and Afflalo.

Tonight's game gave me glimpses of what an intense rivalry would look and feel like between these two teams for the next several years...

I’m sure Deron felt something similar. You don’t get many legitimate rivalries in the NBA, just media fabricated ones. Lakers-Celtics is the one that comes to mind but I think that rivalry only exists today because of the deep history of the two franchises. The NBA sorely needs a rivalry in the same vein as Yankees-Red Sox or Jets-Patriots, where everyone from ownership on down to the players despises the other team on a personal level. Knicks-Nets has the makings of a legendary rivalry. The ownership and front offices have already begun their part with those billboards and stuff, and tonight’s game seemed to plant some seeds that’ll grow with each and every contest.

How many Lin references did I just hear on Sports Center

I’m might watch again just to count. At one point they said something like “you may think we talk about Lin too much. But we have a lot of making up to do” as a Segway into another Lin puff peice. I can’t take it, they make it sound like he is the first ever successful undrafted player, when Lin lost to an undrafted player who is one of the best 3 point shooters of all time, coached by the first undrafted player to have his number retired. He isn’t even the first undrafted player who went from being cut by the Warriors to being a star on the Knicks (John Starks). Not knocking Lin or his story, but enough already ESPN

Just saw the replay in NBA Gametime

A few observations:
- bring Lin to his left, or lead him to his left. He is not comfortable in hat side.
- Petro REALLY suxxx. O.M.F.G. He is a turnover waiting to happen, it is beyond comical.
- Nets are just running the same play over and over. Knix did not adjust?
- deron is really great passing the ball but a lot of times, those passes are wasted bcause either the rcvr does not shoot or lose the ball. Imagine if we have better players!

by OMFG on Feb 21, 2012 6:26 AM EST via mobile reply actions

only 3 plays? I mean don’t get me wrong it seems like they are working but I’m sick of the Brooks ISO, Deron ISO, Humprhies ISO and screen off the wing for a 3 for Dwill.

Hell i’ve even seen a morrow ISO. how about some backdoor screen and cuts or at least run through screens for the ending ISO receiver in the play. Morrow and Humps are terrible ISO players, they’d be better served getting it down low or open look off a screen or pick and roll.

Something should be said for how the Nets players were at their best, playing on the road (at MSG) but can't do the same at home.

Nets would have about 5 more home wins if they could get up for all games like last night.

Does anyone know a scenario where we can trade Lopez +. for Howard and still re-sign Hump in July, along with DWill and Howard?

However, clearly DWill will want Hump on his team with Howard next season.

I like Hump and All

but I can’t stand any ISO’s on Hump. That’s not his game, he is a finisher. When he first came to the nets he did nothing but chuck up mad shots close to the basket under ISO. He was TERRIBLE. That’s why I hated him!!!

Then he found his niche in rebounding and put backs and block shots and hustling and I have liked him ever since.

I understand we are limited and sometimes the humprhies iso works out for us, but we should NOT be running ISO plays one on one down in the post for Humprhies. He loses the ball way too much.

He can drive had an and one and a I remember a step back jumper over Amare. Without Lopez and Okur we need more of that from him. I am excited abou our big rotation with Lopez, Hump, Okur, Shellz and JWill. That should mean lots of Petro in suits.

From a personality stand point

I don’t understand why a lot of people boo him, or why he is the #1 most hated player in the NBA. Even when he was interviewed last night about Chandler Bing(Tyson), he didnt even bad mouth Chandler, even said Chandler was a nice guy.. People who takes Kardasian’s side, better get a life and realize these reality shows are fake. And a lot about the Hump’s personal life with K are fabricated. I think the NBA is desperately needing somebody that people would hate more than Lebron James because the NBA needs James’ money making news back. If you make someone else more hated than James, then he can start to fix his career.. Just my 2 cent. Hump I think is really a nice guy on and off the court.

Nets fans shouldn't be naive like Knicks fans.

Nets didn’t give Hump a multi-year contract because they needed the cap space.
Even if Nets send Lopez, Morrow and Farmar to ORL, by taking back Turk with Howard, will make it hard to re-sign Hump.

Bec our bigs aren't smart enough to give good screens...

also don’t know how to position themselves under the basket for D-Will to manuever around them and get a free layup (Jason Collins was excellent with these)

by jirohkanzaki on Feb 21, 2012 9:25 AM EST up reply actions  

That's not it

It’s that he has zero people to pass to once he gets down there (nobody can finish around the rim) so the defense can just double team him and force him into an impossible shot.

But even when we had JKidd after the Martin days he was able to finish. Alot of it I’m sure is spacing our horrible pick and roll game and having guys like Sheldon under but I’ve seen plenty of times he get off a shot and if it’s contestested he hits the front of the rim.

He’s had trouble finishing through contact this year (although the numbers suggest that he’s only slightly below average in that regard). I hope he improves dramatically next season because he’s going to need to able to finish when the Nets face tough teams like the Bulls and Heat.

Williams has an effective FG % of .667 from close this season

So the stats do not back up your observation. He does get blocked on the other third of his close attempts but I agree that has to do more with over penetration and a lack of an interior finisher to pass off to.

Hmmmm. So , guess who's back with Dan Fegan?
But one thing I did not predict was that Humphries would also be divorcing Cornstein within a year of signing him as his new agent. Cornstein, who represents Samuel Dalembert, Darko Milicic, Beno Udrih, and Nenad Krstic, seemed to have a solid game plan with Humphries. Cornstein hired Humphries’ best friend, Josh Ketroser, who had experience in the industry based on formerly working at Priority Sports & Entertainment. The Pinnacle Hoops website listed Ketroser as the company’s East Coast Director and also posted information about Humphries. Those two names are no longer found on Cornstein’s agency’s website. That is because Humphries released Cornstein from his duties, and in the process, Ketroser left Pinnacle Hoops.

Kris Humphries is back with his original agent, Dan Fegan, who also negotiated Humphries’ 1-year contract worth roughly $8 million.

someone is going to have to take a huge cut next year but then watch their salary spike the next year similar to Nick Collison getting 10 million his first year in his new extension but now for the next 4-5 years only gets like 3 million a year so the Thunder could fall under the cap to extend Durant and Westbrook

I just find it interesting considering there's always those who think

there’s some backwoods thing going on whenever we sign a Fegan client.

maybe Hump...

is coming up in trade talks…and he wants to be in the loop. Who knows more than Fegan? There are a lot a big decisions to be made because Hump has the option of vetoing a trade…maybe it’s not a trade to the Magic, but a third team in need of a PF where Nets/Magic would get an additional piece. If Nets don’t plan to resign him this off season…maybe he would welcome the trade.

Not true

He really fast and can jump really high, check his combine stats and scouting report. Brooks has a world of talent but does not use it.

only thing is that he has that Providence gunner mentality stuck in him

That is what you need from that position.

He needed to do that to Lin from the first game.

The problem with Hump is his pick and roll defense. He comes out too far.

He also needs to work on some real offensive moves. In the chicago game he had this inside drive. In Knicks game he was doing on outside drive. He needs to know when to use them. He should have done the inside drive all day on Amare and Jeffreys. He wouldve gotten to the basket and either score or get fouled.

yeah I notice Hump hedges way too far up the court and doesnt have the quickness to recover to stop PGs

a guy like Lin no matter what he has done, he’s still unproven. Forcing him left and giving him the 20 foot jumper is a must until he turns into Tim Hardaway. Do not let his big roll and the help man Lin is rolling away from must rotate to the paint before he gets there and let the point rotate to his man or double Lin on his drive

also Hump was sticking to Chandler way too much. He’s not going to hit jumpers or even dribble. Hump has to know his opponent and when he should cheat on help defense and not(like leaving Stoudemire open for jumpers)

Wow!! I haven’t heard or read that name in a LONG time. One of my all-time favorite players when he played for golden state. Loved the UTEP!!!

To say that Lin is going to be a Tim Hardaway is a stretch. I think Lin is capable of becoming a true PG in the league, but no superstar, no craziness or anything like that. He has to keep up this for at least 2 seasons before I change my tune.

I haven’t uttered a bad thing about Deron ever since he changed his attitude, has played hard, and has been the most consistent Net. I am a huge MarShon supporter. I always give the Hump credit. I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS GIVE CREDIT to two of my favorite Nets right now, DeShawn Stevenson and Shelden Williams for their professionalism and gritty play while others on here CONSTANTLY KILL THEM. Why don’t you go out of your way to call them negative, huh???

I fail to see how I am viewed as a negative poster when all of my complaining is because I WANT THE NETS TO BE GREAT. I love this team, if I didn’t I wouldn’t give a flying what if they were this bad. You guys kill me.

I’ll continue to be me, and post my thoughts. But lets be honest here, because it pisses me off when you guys only focus on the stuff that you don’t agree with and then pretend that its all that I say on here. Ridiculous.

Listen

I like the contribution you give to this site and everyone missed you when you were banned. Sometimes the hyperbole is seen as being negative and it gets a little old, just so you know.

I agree with you on Deron, Shelden, MarShon, and DeShawn – along with Brook they are the bright spots on this roster and form a core that is better than anything the Nets have had in a while. I know this team sucks I just get tired of people acting like it’s some great injustice perpetrated by the front office.

And you’re right to say that Dwight is not set in stone. I just think this franchise has a bright future Dwight or no Dwight.

because it was a double technical but some how the refs botched it up & allowed him to come back and play into the game. If roles were reversed & that was HUMP acting like a petulant child @ THE ROCK he’s gone.

he was T’d up about 10 seconds apart by two separate officials and they let him stay in the game. Makes no sense.

One ref might have not seen the other one call one.

There was a lot of confusion since he was around the Nets’ bench. They always come together and talk about that kind of event. Which since he wasn’t tossed, they didn’t view it as sequential technicals. Did his actions warrant a second technical? Very close— had they called it earlier

I'm not talking about HUMPS foul, I'm talking about

Chandler got a “T” from the ref for holding on to HUMP’s arm by one official. Then right before they were about to go to commerical Chandler got a “T” from another official for going to the Nets bench. He got “T” up twice on that play by different refs. That’s an ejection and Chandler knew it that’s why if you rewatch he was about to go to the lockers before actually going back to the knicks bench. They botched it!!

they are talking about who chose to put LIN IN.

There were reports Melo told Antoini.

Now Antoni is saying wait a minute, I put him in.

Now there are saying regardless of the success the Antoni is lame duck. If the gets fired, Proky should hire him for offense. I would take Antoni as assistant coach. If Antoni made Lin, imagine what Dwill would become. Then you add Dwight.

I dont like the guy as a head coach, but as an offensive coordinator I would be ok with.

i was at the game last night

Hump staring down Chandler and Melo during a timeout was hilarious. He was playing pissed. Between the spontaneous YOU SUCK and KIM K chants at the FT line, and Melo and Chandler playing dirty, by the end of the game he was using tyson chandler’s chest as a heavy-bag. I don’t know if it translated well on TV, but he was straight up elbowing chandler right in the chest every time down, and then staring at him with this “do something about it” look.

That game was incredibly fun to watch while be surrounded by “the enemy”
Deron was clearly in full revenge mode. Knicks fans would let out deep sighs every time he crossed up one of their guys. At one point when Deron got fouled on a made three, I jumped up and popped my Brooklyn Nets shirt and screamed “BROOOOOOOOOOKLYN” and some other Nets fan in a Deron jersey ran over to me to shake hands and chest bump while everyone in our section boo’d us.

but honestly…the ref’s should’ve never let it get to that point. Let’s not forget morrow lost 4 teeth, I hope that doesn’t hurt him in the ASG or 3 point contest. You can fix knocked out teeth but come on…that’s gotta be painful.

I love what hump does to the team, all my knick fans are like Hump is a punk etc etc. but he’s not the one who got in foul trouble, AND we won the game. BOOO YAH!

Speaking of The Herd

Bill Simmons thinks Howard, Williams and Nets have some sort of agreement. He thinks that the fact that Deron Williams is content with his current situation is odd and might be a hint that the Nets know something about Howard.

look at what Melo, CP3, Howard did going into their FA summer. All those players were/are on playoff teams.

Nets some solid pieces that would do well on good teams. Stevenson—Defense, Morrow—outside shooting, and Hump—hustle and rebounding.

Every single playoff team needs a guy like Stevenson to get inside the other team’s head. He did a great job roughing up Melo and baiting Melo into sloppy play.

sounds like he wants to stick around, let's hope so.

a great stopper off the bench or for long stretches on certain nights. Get a slashing/scoring Sf in fron of him and we’re set – with Dwight or Lopez. Our bench gets that much better if Lopez, Marshon and A legit SF are starting.

Bench = Farmar ,Morrow, Stevenson, Shewill and Memo with Shawne, Gaines and JWill bringing up the rear.

90% of their comments is about the Refs handing the Nets the game and Deron being a douche (for celebrating the same way Lin and Melo routinely run down the court after knocking down shots).

It's already been said by Experts & Nets Fans, but now Dallas Fans Concede the Improbable Scenario of Sigining both Williams & Howard

http://www.mavsmoneyball.com/ Maverick Finances 101: Can Dallas afford Deron Williams and Dwight Howard?

Post concludes that the GM will more than likely have to choose in signing either Williams or Howard but cannot sign both. The only problem with that scenario is that Williams and Howard are a inextricably linked this upcoming free agency period. Basically, if Dallas cannot make room to sign both, Nets are the 100% guaranteed destination for the free agents. Caveat, this scenario plays out only if Howard makes it to free agency.

If you read between the lines, so to speak

It’s obvious Deron was talking about Dwight. It’s also obvious why we didn’t show more interest in Balkman. It’s also abundantly clear why we’re keeping a roster spot open till the deadline. Fegan, Deron, BK and Dwight have this all planned out.

by dwill8brooklynbound on Feb 21, 2012 12:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Most Likely

But hypothetically, even if we don’t land Dwight, we can improve the roster in a hurry this offseason. Even a Plan B consisting of a hight 1st rounder, resigning a healthy Lopez, resigning Hump & signing a SF like Gerald Wallace is a much improved team. It’s not an elite team, but it is a playoff team heading in the right direction.

Tough times come and go for every team, but with the Nets, tough times are the norm. I still don’t believe that any games actually matter this season, but last night put that theory to the test.

I saw swagger from the Nets. I saw deron Williams embrace performing in front of a sold out NYC crowd. I saw all the reasons why Deron is a superstar. One game won’t change the losing culture over night, but wow, that felt good. I don’t hate the Knicks, because I love when we beat them.
