PrintToo bad MarShon Brooks is still out. Friday's game with the Timberwolves would have made for a great match-up between Rookie of the Year candidates. Instead, Ricky Rubio, aka Ricky of the Year, will have to settle for a match-up with the NBA's hottest player at his position, Deron Williams.
Over the last five games, D-WIll is averaging 29 points and 8.4 assists, shooting just a tad under 50% overall and 40% from deep. Rubio's played well over that period, too. He's averaging 13.6 and 9.4. He and D-Will are tied for the most points-assists double-doubles. But Rubio's shooting has tailed off, dropping to 38% and 29% over that five game span. Both of their teams are 3-2.
The Wolves, in spite of a 10-12 record, are among the league's most exciting teams, with Rubio, newly signed Kevin Love and mercurial but talented Michael Beasley, none of who have reached their 24th birthday. For the Nets, winners of four of their last seven, the medical report remains iffy. Anthony Morrow (ankle), Johan Petro (stomach) and maybe Mehmet Okur (back) are the only ones of the walking wounded who could play.

Marshon said "be back in no time" last night.
Photo of rehab at end of overnight post.
Kerber however said MarShon is likely going to be included in Howard trade (after ASG).
And another Orlando TV reporter heard that Howard to Nets is being discussed (possibly talk of Iggy to ORL with Brook).
Are you just recapping what NetsDaily has already recapped?
Why?

MarShon is likely going to be included in Howard trade
I’m fine with this. Trade him while his value is high. I’m hoping we get to keep some picks in exchange for including him.

Don't see why anyone would want him
He’s a bad shot taker extraordinaire, and one that doesn’t like to play defense too. This not even mentioning all the off the court stuff that’s still ongoing, he hasn’t turned into some good citizen all of the sudden

He could have helped us out a lot.

Raise your hand if you’ve heard this before: The Nets view their chances to eventually land Dwight Howard as anywhere from "favorable" to "confident" to plain old "good."

For the jersey under the work clothes. Just awesome.
I dont think we are going to trade Brooks to Orlando. But he will most likely be sent to a team who has an established player looking to dump salary
The Magic already have J Rich and Reddick signed past this season. They Need a SF. I proposed this trade yesterday
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7447vbc
Everyone was quick to shoot down Philly’s involvement in this trade but Iggy has 3 yr / 44.2 Mil left on his contract. Iggy has played well but Thad Young is waiting in the wing to take over the SF spot. Plus they need a big for this year and get a former All Star in Kaman who is an expiring contract. The main reason they make this trade is for Brooks and his extremely favorable contract. Brand would be an expiring contract next year which they could package with Turner to land a good big.
Kaman / Hawes
Brand
Young
Brooks / Turner
Holliday / Lou Will
The Hornets want to part ways with Kaman and Okur’s contract would be 80% paid by insurance. It’s a way of buying out Kaman without spending money. Throw in Houston’s 1st rounder to sweeten the deal.
The Magic want to win now and getting a defensive 1st player in Iggy fits what they like to do on defense with Stan Van Gundy. Lopez fills the hole left by Dwight and Lopez loves Orlando so he would easily resign. Farmar gives them a PG to platoon with Nelson. Add the Nets 1st round pick and this isnt a bad deal for the Magic
Lopez
Anderson / Big Baby
Iggy / Hedu
J Rich / Reddick
Farmar / Nelson

Jerry West: Teams shouldn’t give in
Bad jokes aside, do yourself a favor and read this article!!!
Asked what he would do as a lead executive in a situation where a superstar has made it known he wants out, the ex-Laker executive said it was fairly clear-cut.
“I honestly think I’d call their bluff,” West said in an interview on 710 ESPN’s Mason and Ireland show Thursday, not mentioning Howard specifically. "I really would, because I don’t think any agent or player is going to leave $30 million on the table.
“I just don’t believe that’s going to happen.”
“If I were an executive on a team where a player says he’s going to leave, let him leave,” West said on 710 ESPN’s Max and Marcellus show earlier Thursday. "It would be better than saddling yourself with a bunch of players that are not going to fit in to what you’re trying to do — high-salaried players, in many cases overpaid players by today’s standards, that would burden you going forward. “I’d almost rather start over again myself. You’re not going to replace that player, but there’s an enormous penalty there and it looks like to me like the inmates are running the asylum if you let that happen.”
Except we don't have overpaid players to offer

Yeah, I agree. But I wouldn’t put it past Otis to read this and be like, BY GOD, Jerry, you’re right!
I think Howard would leave anyway. What’s 30 million left on your contract if the other most famous Adidas basketball player just signed a 250 million dollar deal for shoes?
exactly
The money doesn’t matter in this situation. Dwight will make up the $ no problem
by DJ HeavyDuty on Feb 3, 2012 10:38 AM EST up reply actions
true but
the only slight problem with our offer is Lopez is a RFA. Likely Orlando would extend him or match him.. but while he is not highly paid this year, he will be next year. Hard to overpay a top 5 center though…
Only problem for Orlando is Brook and Ryan Anderson are both RFAs. That is an expensive and soft front court. So, while getting Lopez may be good.. it could also force Orlando to build a team in a way that they don’t intend to…
A 3 way trade is always an option…
question
if you are going to a Nets’ game, at what time can you go down to get autographs, pics , etc.?
These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess. Kobe Bryant
Prudential Center isn't open to "General Public" until an hour before tipoff.
I believe season ticket holders get in about a half hour earlier.
You need to get in as soon as they open the doors to the general public, and then run down to the two corners where the teams enter/leave for pre game shoot arounds.
I think you probably need a ticket that has access to lower levels in order to be allowed down there, too. I’m not sure about that, though.
Crazy
I’m trying not to over hype myself out, but have you guys really thought about the prospect of putting the best C with the best PG in the game right now together? I know we need a bench, aswell as good role players around them, but guys let’s be Frank here, we have the best “true point guard” in the league right now, he loses easily 5 assist a game because of some of the D leaguers on this team, and as much as I love the rookie, and he has become my 2nd fav Net on this team, we have no choice, with DWill and D12 we’re 1/2 way there to greatness, it’s not a matter of just pairing superstars together (i.e Knicks) it’s pairing the right superstars together (i.e thunder) and these two guys will bring something to this team that will eclipse every analyst expections. That’s why I think we can’t take the chance of free agency, if we have a shot of getting him at the deadline, and we have to overpay a little, we gotta bite the bullet and start something special, all these disgruntled metropolitan basketball fans need a team to root for in the NBA. And we’re gonna be that team. Thank you for letting me ramble, I’ve been a ND follower religiously for years, and felt the need to post something today, since I haven’t posted in a while, p.s. work 5 mins from the new arena, it’s already looking crazy!
by Killer_Rich on Feb 3, 2012 10:43 AM EST via mobile reply actions
I'm starting to lean towards that thought...
This is not just gonna overmatch the Knicks, but also the Heat and any other team you can think of, it will take like a decade for another player of Howard’s caliber to pop into this league and Deron is a top 5 point guard, this is John Stockton and Karl Malone all over again.
There’s a lot of hype in this arena, it’s gonna be crazy indeed.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
Hurahhhhhhh Petro is available
Morrow (ankle) is probable and Petro (illness) available tonight, according to Nets. MarShon (toe), Stevenson (knee), Okur (back) out.

Thats like trading
Melo, star in his prime. Shump potential. Rondo very good young pg. Allen at the end of his career. That would be robbery for the Knicks.

to me is fools gold. don’t think you can go all the way with him. plus amare needs to be the finisher on his team or else he’s underutilized.
rondo is so underrated and tough. knicks would instantly be better on defense, have a real PG running a real offense, and ray is such good shape i think he’s got 3 good yrs in the tank. shump is good, but i think his going to struggle because he doesn’t have a true position.

Melo's making Dolan money
he’s not going anywhere.

another NBA rumination
do you notice how many really good point guards there are in the league now?
i’ve been noticing a cool trend where teams are playing multiple point guards at the same time (like the clippers and the nets on a watered down version).
i think it’s a good idea. the way point guards can score today, why shouldn’t they play off the ball in what is traditionally labelled the ‘2’? plus, you get the benefit of two players who can handle the ball and pass on the floor at the same time.
imagine something extremely witty here
And didn't Lebron play point forward for awhile?
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
But what Nets did with DWill and Gaines was stupid
We took the ball out of the best PG in the league and gave it to Gaines.
I wonder whether DWill likes to run around screens to get open to get the ball when he plays off the ball. It has to be very tiring to run around like that. If he has the ball to bring across, he would not need to run through screens to get the ball. But Avery is the the coach and he knows more than we all know.
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
right but
i like playing dwill bringing the ball up and farmar at the same time – especially with all of the injuries. no need to force a less talented lineup just because of old labels on position etc.
i know, i know…i think farmar is a better than a lot of you guys.
imagine something extremely witty here
that reminds me
D-Will cuts to the basket so often and gets a good shot up close only to have the ball bounce away off the rim. We need more of those to go down!

Where has this "Marshon is getting traded" sentiment coming from?
Are people reading into his continued sitting from his toe injury as Orlando expressing a desire for him to be healthy?
When does the 60-day no trade clause expire?
the goal should be to get Love in foul trouble early. if we can do that, I think it's a winnable game
I actually think Bogans will be a big help on defense this game. man I’d love to see a 1-2 punch of Stevenson and Bogans on D.
DWill
Over the last five games, D-WIll is averaging 29 points and 8.4 assists, shooting just a tad under 50% overall and 40% from deep.
Don’t forget the 5 turnovers per game! And the gaudy 1.7 to 1 assist to turnover ratio.
I can live with 10 TO per game if he wins us games.
Whatever it takes. He is doing all he can without much support.
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
Honestly, that number is so high b/c no one can handle the ball correctly… don’t get me wrong.. he makes so bonehead plays sometimes… but some of the guys on the team just can’t hold onto the ball!
I was at the Pistons game
and it was frustrating to see D-Will drive and then make a beautiful pass, only to have the intended recipient bobble the pass and have it either go out of bounds or the other team grab it.

that's
hater talk

Haters gonna hate
If, by “hate” you mean point out that not everything about a player or team is perfect.
it doesn't need to be pointed out every time something positive is said
but for a hater the need is irresistible

better players
will have him doing less out there and those numbers will go down and the assists come up.

Last year Deron Williams ended up 5th overall in turnovers...
Comes with the territory I guess…Dwight Howard was #4 and LeBron James # 3…
Deron is averaging 4.5 turnovers this season over last years 3.5 but then again Deron is handling the ball alot this season with many different new teammates and lineups.
Being teammates with Shelden "Stonehands" Williams doesn't help.
He’s good for dropping at least one perfect DWill pass out of bounds per game.
We're #1!!!
Good to have at least one player lead the NBA in a major statistical category! And, BTW, Deron is blowing away the competition – a full .4 TO/g higher than anyone else.
(Oh, the Nets do lead the league in one team statistical category – #1 worst defense in the league.)
I guess
I have to like the clippers now since Kmart is one of my fav nba players

It’s hard to choose the West. I like the Clippers but I think Griffin is overrated. I like the Thunder a lot, I hope Minnesota can make the playoffs, and it would be great if Denver did well to spite Carmelo…Utah also has some of my favorite players.
Anyway, KMart is a steal for the Clippers. Their biggest problem is depth on the front line.
watched the Jazz beat I think it was the Blazers the other day
boy those guys play with great passion.
i hope
Kenyon goes up to Blake and tells him to man up and stop flopping, because that will get you nowhere

Good Job Clippers
I’m proud for their franchise, they’re a leader for all overlooked teams (which included us) who had to deal with failure upon failure throughout league history while the celtics and lakers of the world always won. I’m rooting for them
yep tides are turning
nets clippers finals 2013 :)

is K-Mart
still in decent shape? haven’t seen him play much lately.
"A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy."
I think he would be a good locker room addition
Wasn’t he the captain of the Nuggets? I remember him handling the media pretty well while all that Melo stuff was going on
We're next!
On another note, if Marshon goes in trade, as much as I was opposed to JR Smith before, I would bring him back for this team that has Deron and Howard.
no just no
he like rasheed wallace no one will the benefits of having him on there team till later in his career

Maybe this is the talk around the NBA
FisolaNYDN Frank Isola
For what it’s worth, the Bulls Brian Scalabrine – a Jeff Van Gundy in training wheels – is convinced that Dwight Howard ends up in Brooklyn
people say market size has no effect on endorsements
how many endorsements did D-Will have in Utah? But he’s picked up 2 new ones in the past couple months alone.

Me too
I just looked it up.
Not too expensive.
People are dismissing the possiblities in the NY area, but like I have said before, Dwight was in Brooklyn during the summer for business reasons. I am pretty sure that Dwight’s Agent already has MANY endorsements lined up for him in Brooklyn.

Are these deals contingent on him staying in the area?
We sure can use few more reasons for him to stick around
When was this picture taken??

quick question anyone know why he dropped to 13?
I was 5 when he was drafted I was wondering why he wasn’t drafted earlier.
he force his way to the Lakers and scared off other teams (such as the Nets)
to make them pass on him. He told Calipari and John Nash he’d go to play to Italiy if they drafted him.
This could be a great weekend
If we win tonight and the Knicks lose at Boston tonight, we’d be going into tomorrow’s game against them with the better record. If we beat them tomorrow, we’d be a game and a half ahead of them in the standings WITHOUT BROOK LOPEZ!
Critical Success!
My dudes I'm heading to the game tonght with the gf, unfortunately the seats I wanted (right next to the nets bench) were sold out
First time going to the Rock, where’s the best place to park?

Nah no way. I was thinking on parking at Rutgers but that's like 7 blocks away.

park anywhere in New Brunswick and take a Rutgers bus over to the station
and on the weekends, metered parking is free in NB

by bronxbombers2 on Feb 3, 2012 3:07 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah I attend Rutgers Newark
It’s not that bad of an area, but I don’t want to walk FROM there to the Rock, I’d rather park somewhere close to the Rock. It is Newark afterall lol.

Hey man. I drive to every game.
You can usually find parking right on Broad Street across from Prudential or across from City Hall. I’ve also parked a couple times on the cross streets around there. Its not the nicest area but I’ve never really had any problems and I’ve gone to 25+ games since last year.

Sounds good bro thanks
Wish me luck guys hopefully we win!

Do not park at the garage across the street.
Over by the huge hockey player statue. (don’t remember the street name). The place is slow to get out of. During the first Heat game last year it took over an hour to get my car. Mean while the crowd I was waiting in was not so friendly.

There's plenty of parking garages & lots around the arena
The closer you park to the arena, the more expensive it is.
$30 for the garage that’s attached to the arena (with covered walkway into the arena.
$25 for the lot immediately across the street from the arena.
$20 for lots about 2 blocks away.
Many people park on the streets, but I think the peace of mind with having your car in a manned parking lot is worth it. Not simply because of break ins, but if you miss a sign & park illegally, the tickets are expensive.
My friends and I attend to RU-NWK
and they’re thinking of parking in the lot at Rutgers and LRing it to the Penn-Station and just walking it from there. There’s this indoor walkway that leads to the Rock so you wouldn’t have to walk in the cold.
Near the park two blocks down market st.
Free parking after 6
by jAcS24 on Feb 3, 2012 3:14 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Metered parking? Is Newark metered parking free after 6? If so i'm an idiot because I got class at 6 and park in the school lots

Not all I guess, but near this park(there are tents there for some reason) the parking is free after 6, but read the meter to make sure

Whoever is going to the game today
Should hold up a poster of Love, DWill, and Dwight from the Suite Life disney show with a caption saying “The 2015-2016 Brooklyn Nets”
Critical Success!
If we do get Dwight and Deron
We gotta try and sign ray allen for a significant role off the bench 20 mins or so

I would love to have Ray Allen.
If we do get him the Nets would have had all my favorite players. Kidd, Carter, Dwight and Allen. That would be a blessing.
If all else fails
We should get the lopez twins. as our PF C. That would be kinda interesting i guess

Anyone interested on going?
I have an extra ticket section 6 row 17
Wolves fan here
FYI: Rubio is a great defender. If there is one thing that I would like fans of other teams to know, it is this.
He’ll be put on DWill I’m guessing, and whoever Ridnour takes (Rid is currently our 2) will probably have abig night.
Happy gaming
If I'm pissing you off its probably sarcasm
