Shawne Williams Done for Year
by Net Income on Feb 22, 2012 2:35 PM EST
Email
PrintAs expected, the Nets have announced that Shawne Williams is out for the rest of the season. The 6'9" small forward underwent surgery on his foot Wednesday morning and two bone fragments were removed. The surgery was performed by Dr. Martin O'Malley and Dr. Riley Williams III, team orthopedist (and a busy, busy man).
The injury was more serious than initially believed and Williams needed to have three screws placed in his foot.
The Nets' three season-ending injuries --Williams, Damion James and Keith Bogans-- lead the NBA. So do the 113 games lost to injury, illness and personal reasons. Williams, unlike James and Bogans, has another year on his contract and the Nets said he should be able to return for training camp. He finished the season with averages of 4.5 points and 2.7 rebounds.

Nets medical staff is one of the worst in NBA
its not normal how many injuries we had past 3 years they dont have a clue what they are doing… Hell they cant even bulk players up they cant prepare them for games they strain hamstrings calfs all these things its all LACK Of FITNES TRAINERS
I blame the Training Staff big time on this, if this happened before the season why wouldnt they notice it in the physical? Its getting annoying Tim walsh

well...that pretty much guarantees he'll pick up his option...
Nets can try to dump him or stretch out his contract. I don’t think he’ll play for the Nets again.
I was wondering if he is eligible for the stretch exception?
We need his contract off the books

Bogans is more of a 2 though.
No. He has a player option for next season
by LOVEandHATEHOOPS on Feb 22, 2012 2:48 PM EST up reply actions
why?
he will be a $3 million expiring contract next year I dont see the point of stretching him. Is that extra $2 million towards next seasons cap that important? The expiring could be used as a trade chip.
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
my point is that he can be traded
As a $3 million expiring contract it shouldnt be too difficult to trade him. Rather do that the stretch him and be forced to pay him (even if only about $1 mil) over the next 3 years
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
He can
But if we’re trying to land Howard in free agency, we can’t afford to take back salary in a trade. Figure we trade $3mil & a 2nd rounder to unload Petro. No team with cap space will take on Shawne for free. The way to free up the most cap space is to stretch him.
Well we may not need that $3 mil for Dwight
if that $3 mil is the difference between signing Dwight and not signing him then yes you do whatever you need to do in order to move Shawne but you never know a team may be willing to take him into open cap space or a trade exception. If not, then sure go ahead and stretch him. I just think he may be a tradeable asset and it would be worth it to look into that option first.
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
Exactly
If we’re trying to land Howard in free agency, we need to free up every penny we can.
If we trade for Howard ahead of free agency, then obviously there’s no advantage to stretching him. His value would be as an expiring contract, e.g. the expiring contracts of Petro & Shawne for SJax? Bucks would save about $3.4mil & many headaches.
can someone..

by Whoop Dee Damn Doo on Feb 22, 2012 2:48 PM EST reply actions
He has a $3.1mil option for next season
He will pick it up.
We can use the stretch provision on him and free up about $1.5mil for this offseason. He’d also count for just over $1mil over the next 2 seasons if we used the stretch provision on him.
Frees up 2M right?
it would be 3.1M / ((1 * 2) + 1) = 1.03M over 3 yrs vs. 3.1M
His math is right, you have to add a cap hold since releasing him would make us have another empty roster spot under the minimum
in the end we’d gain 1.6M
Yes, but...
It creates an open roster spot & thus you have to add a minimum salaried cap hold since we’ll have less than 12 players.
stretch...
• 2011 CBA: The player’s remaining salary and his cap hit may be stretched across twice the number of seasons remaining on the contract, plus one (for example, the salary and cap hit for a player waived with two seasons remaining may be stretched across five seasons). This is entirely at the team’s discretion, but it applies only to contracts signed under the 2011 CBA.
• Who benefits? Teams with bad contracts. For example, if a team has an underperforming player with one season remaining at $12 million, the team can waive him and stretch his salary across three seasons at $4 million per season. This will help with cash flow and provide $8 million in cap relief for the current season.

Interesting... I thought it was just over twice the number of years
Since he would only have 1 year left we can actually stretch it over 3?
by Jack Handy Jr on Feb 22, 2012 3:20 PM EST up reply actions
that's my take
so it would free up about $2M on the cap 2012-2013

Shawne WIlliams will undergo surgery to remove bone chip from his left foot. He had this injury before he signed with the Nets
"Beware the Ides of March."
Burned twice by the same clown
We’re such suckers. The first time is was his drug mess. This time it was a pre-existing condition. I wonder if there’s any contract loophole that would allow the Nets to wiggle out of his contract if he wasn’t forthcoming about his injury. I doubt it, since they’re responsible for administering a physical.
He had the injury before he signed with the Nets and it was healed.
He reinjured it during training camp.

No
It can be used as many times as a team would like, but there are restrictions. One being that it can only be used on players signed during this CBA. Another is that there is a maximum percentage of a team’s cap that can be tied up in dead money.

Ryan Anderson
The two still talk frequently, though, and Anderson admitted he was curious to see what was going to happen Wednesday night when Howard, who has made it clear he wants to play for the Nets takes the floor at Prudential Center.
"Obviously this is one of the spots that everybody’s talking about," Anderson said. "It’s different because we don’t focus on it a lot until we come to a place like this.
"People start talking about it and it’s in the newspapers and it’ll be interesting to see what happens, but we can’t let it distract us from the game."

type of shoes linked to climb in nba foot injuries
Team physicians also say they are concerned about the rise of the lightweight, low-top sneakers that are the latest rage in the NBA.
Previous studies have shown that whether a player wears high or low-tops has no significant effect on their risk of ankle injury. But when it comes to foot injuries, experts say the low-tops may not provide the support players need to buffer their feet from constant pounding. Over time, lightweight shoes may also contribute to stress fractures and chronic injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and Achilles strain (the three most common foot injuries in the NBA) because they don’t have the same cushioning.

Larry Coon having a chat.
Once again says Magic aren’t interested in shipping Dwight to LA.
But I think the main impediment is the Magic. For whatever reason, they’re not so high on the idea or Bynum OR sending Dwight to LA.
http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-salary-cap-chat-with-larry-coon-22212
I think it's fine.
...
I think Orlando is going to try to move Hedo in any deal for Dwight. And while everyone assumes that the Magic naturally would be interested in Bynum as a replacement for Howard, from what I’ve heard about the Magic’s thinking on the matter, that just isn’t the case.
The fact that Orlando is trying to move Hedo is good news for us. We’re basically the only ones that can take his contract, yes?

In case this was a question anyone had...
Moose Barker
The Nets traded their first round pick last year in the D-Will trade, but did have a first rounder from a separate trade (MarShon Brooks). Can they still trade their 2012 first rounder in a Dwight Howard trade, despite the rule that consecutive 1st rounders can’t be traded?
Larry Coon
This is one of the most misunderstood rules in the NBA. Teams can’t trade consecutive FUTURE picks. The 2011 draft is in the past, so it has no bearing on whether they can trade their 2012 pick.
I think it's fine.

John Tambwe
I have not heard anything or much about the Lakers pursuing Deron Williams. Is it because they will have to give up a lot to acquire him? Or the Nets are just clinging on Williams hoping that they can ship Lopez and a few other players plus draft picks to get DH12 and make things work. Because honestly, I think the Lakers need Deron Williams more than they need Howard.
Larry Coon
I think the Nets are all-in with Deron. Either they keep him and land Dwight or other players to pair with him, or they lose him and start the rebuilding process this summer. I don’t think they’re going to trade him.

well they've played one more game than OKC, and are separated by 1 win.
considering the team that Lebron has, and the team Durant has, and the fact that their records are nearly identical, i gotta go with KD
LJ is having one of the best seasons in history of the NBA, and there was a stretch where he didn't have D-Wade.
LJ is head and shoulders better than KD.
The dude is a freak of nature, and his D is ridiculous.
I don’t like the dude, but don’t even compare them ….
but when you talk about who is more "valuable" to their team, take KD off OKC, they are definetley not the same team.
If u take off LBJ from MIA, they aren’t the same team, but definetly better than a Durant-less OKC team
You can debate that of course, but you also have to compare expectations.
Miami is not winning anything without LJ, and it would be the same for KD.
I understand you MVP (actual meaning), but that is not the case in this day and age.
Kidd should’ve won 2 or more MVP’s with the NETS based on that. Everytime Kidd would take a seat, I though we lost the game. He did that over and over ….
Someone should. Then D-Will can get mad and drop 38 on another team.

I like Shawne... athletic, tough, can shoot from deep and he's supposed to be a good defender...
at least this was all during his Knick days… for $3M for 2 not too bad (comparison Outlaw at $7M for 5)
Hope he’ll come back and stretch the defense to give Dwight Howard some room!!! :)
Morrow out?
Counting game Morrow out for grandmother’s funeral, #Nets have lost 113 manpower games to injury, illness, personal reasons, lost bets

He had missed a game for his grandmother’s funeral. Kerber was adding that into the tally, but qualifying it since it wasn’t an injury.

scroll down the page and look for the one titled Chris Broussard ESPN insider 2-21-12 and skip ahead to 8:16. Broussard gives great scoop on the Howard situation and some of you may be surprised about what he says about the nets a min and a half into the question. its a good listen for before the game.

nothing all that new
1. Lakers can offer the best package, in his opinion
2. Orlando may not trade him. Dwight has given them a small bit of hope that he will stay
3. Ultimately, in his opinion, he will end up in Brooklyn and Deron will stay with the nets because of it. If the nets dont get Dwight, Deron is gone.
4. Nets would become an instant contender if they get Dwight via FA
well its all stuff we know but i've never heard broussard say it
Its nice to see the “sources” see the best situation for Dwight is BK
http://worldaroundsports.wordpress.com/
Broussard has set this many times before in past few weeks.
However, he fails to mention that Howard likely wouldn’t agree to extend with Lakers, thereby eliminating the Lakers.
Broussard still won’t acknowledge that Nets could include 4 1st round picks in a trade for Howard (similar to what Otis appeared to agree to, before the season began).
As long as Howard refuses to sign elsewhere (as I suspect the Nets FO knows to be true – via DWill), then Nets by far would have the best trade offer (is Lopez doesn’t get hurt).
Saying Lakers would have best package.
But that there is a good chance Magic will happen. But says he thinks he will end up in Brooklyn.

by dwill8brooklynbound on Feb 22, 2012 6:53 PM EST up reply actions
We should trade him ASAP
b/c the Nets can only use $3mil each season as trade kicker right?
Well, then the Nets use that $3mil now and take back an expiring. Then they’ll have a fresh $3mil to dump Petro come the off-season
Sources close to the situation believe the Rockets prefer to keep Courtney Lee, who is a better defender and will ultimately cost the team less money than Martin. Of course, Lee’s camp has asked for a trade after being told there will be no early extension for him, either, and that restricted free agency is likely to be a challenge since the Rockets have a history of scaring away potential suitors for their players.
Meanwhile, things are going south quickly for new head coach Kevin McHale, who was popular with his new players at first. The players have gone to McHale on multiple occasions suggesting that they run particular Rick Adelman plays that were very successful last season, but McHale has been unwilling to do anything Adelman did, regardless of the potential success. That hasn’t stopped Adelman’s former charges from running the occasional play from last season, which irks McHale to no end.

played hurt like Hump and D-will but everyone rags Shawne. There was a point where Deshawn, Marshon, James, and Shawne were all injured and Shawne put the team first(as they went and got Bogans and Emmett)
hopefully next year he is healthy and can hit those corner threes off the bench

I’ve been disappointed in his signing, he never really earned his money for us, but at the same time I’m not gonna kick him while he’s down. I hope he gets better and can at least hit the open three next year, we’ll need guys to spread the floor if a certain someone makes it here…

The guy is a bum, plain and simple
He had HALF A SEASON of good numbers in Mike D’Antoni’s SSOL offense. Other than that half season, he’s been a headache on and off the floor. Let’s not forget that the Nets had him before and he waited what, like 48hrs, after being traded before he got into more legal problems?
He’s given us worse than NOTHING this season. I’m certain a D-Leaguer would’ve performed better than his 1 out of 4 shooting percentages
you're not wrong
but all I’m saying there’s no reason to be negative anymore when the guy just went down for the season. let’s move on and hope Emmet or someone can contribute.

I also have easy access to his biography.
WHEN YOU DESCRIBE the prototypical NBA center, he is not complete without superlative size, strength and athleticism. He’ll fight for the tough rebounds in the trenches, but is just as quick to burn you with a shot from 15 feet.
Johan Petro possesses all of these skills and more, and bears all the promise of fulfilling his vast potential.

Can't blame the medical staff because the Knicks wanted him as badly as the Nets, but didn't have the $ to offer.
Obviously Shawne wasn’t being honest up front. Also, I found it odd that just a few days ago they were still saying that the Shoulder injury was the more serious one, as if to throw us off track.
Also, I don't think DJames has been honest.
Last season, I recall him not telling the Nets staff right away about his foot fracture.
Also this year, after the 1st game, he didn’t say anything about his foot problem until later on, while Nets fans watched his on court performance decline (we still haven’t been told the full story).
That could be a factor in why the Nets wouldn’t pick up his option year and said that he would be done for the season – even though he could very well be able to return by April, if necessary.
Because otherwise the Knicks were going to offer him 2.5 M for 2 years, Mini-MLE
Just think, if we let Knicks have him, then Knicks couldn’t sign Smith, besides having Shawne out for year, and Nets getting someone else.
