MarShon Brooks On Rising Stars Challenge Roster

PrintOn Wednesday, the NBA named the 18 participants (nine rookies and nine sophomores) for the Rising Stars Challenge, to be played on Friday night at All-Star Weekend in Orlando.
And Marshon Brooks is among the nine rookies selected by the league's assistant coaches.
The new format for the game will have Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal draft teams from the 18-player pool on Thursday, Feb. 16.
Earlier on Wednesday, according to Nets PR, Brooks "increased court activity, without contact." His broken toe will keep him out until at least Sunday. The Nets play Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and then not again until next Wednesday.

Too bad you all want him gone

That's not me we need to keep MarShon at ALL costs
Brook picks and cap relief should be more than enough for a player who can just leave.
If Dwight REALLY wants Brooklyn he should want a Stocked Brooklyn (Dwill, Brook Lopez,MarShon Brooks, STUD ROOKIE SF)

Who wants him gone?
people here are debating whether or not he should be on the table for one of the league’s best players. The fact that it is even debated is a huge compliment to Brooks

90% would immediately pull the trigger for Dwight if he's included

I would if we have to
My thought though is that we should only trade Brooks if we have to bring Dwight here, not just because we can.

meaning I have no problem Billy having a stare down with Otis until the deadline with a hard line "No Brooks" stance
If the Lakers leverage us then I include him, if they say we will hold on to Dwight otherwise, then fine I like I our chances in free agency

Top 2 picks will be Irving and Rubio

With all the hype it has to be Blake unless is bows out of this game.
Czar is going to pick Brooks, but he needs Rubio. If Irving is on the same team, I can see irving not passing the ball to Brooks.

Larry Coon had a chat, here are Dwight/Nets related questions.
Diddy
How’s it going Larry, first time chatting with you. You’re probably tired of hearing about Dwight-mania, but humor me here. I hated the notion of a Brook Lopez package (especially with the foot surgery now), but the emergence of MarShon Brooks has moved my position a little. Do you think the Nets would be willing to offer a package of Lopez, Brooks, draft picks + taking Hedo’s contract? Could this even work..?
Larry Coon
The Nets are over the cap now, so it’s not quite as easy as it was before. It looks like the Nets would have to send about $23.2 million away in order to acquire both Dwight and Hedo. Lopez and Brooks add up to about $4.1 million, so they’d need to send another $19.1 million, which Orlando would want in ending salaries. They have Okur at $10.9 million and Humphries at $8 million, so they’re just about there. It looks like it could be tweaked to work, as soon as the trade restrictions expire.
If your question is whether they’d throw Brooks into a deal, then I think the answer is yes. They won’t let Brooks stand in the way if it means the difference between having both Dwight & Deron or having neither.
I think it's fine.
...
Ron
Based on how the cap looks like next season, which situation is better for the Nets as a team to sign and/or trade for other players. Trading for Dwight before the deadline or him opting out and then signing with them in the offseason? Would they be able to get a guy like Gerald Wallace if he opts out in either situation? If he signs with the Nets instead of getting traded here, could we trade Lopez and other people/picks to for Granger or Josh Smith?
Larry Coon
If I’m the Nets, I’m weighing the following:
* Trade for Dwight now, give up some assets, take on Hedo, and have both in the fold already as they potentially enter free agency;
OR
* Don’t trade for Dwight now, preserve my assets, and hope that Dwight comes here and Deron stays, rather than both going someplace like Dallas.
If I’m the Nets I like the idea of being the incumbent this summer.
It also looks to me like if they want to sign Dwight in the off-season, they’ll have to strip down to the bare minimum to afford a max offer. I don’t know if they’d be able to flip Lopez for someone else and still offer Dwight his max.
I think it's fine.
by NetsMets4Life on Feb 8, 2012 5:21 PM EST up reply actions
Last one
Craig
Several Orlando beat writers, along with some others, believe the Magic would rather let Dwight walk for nothing than take the Nets deal, mostly citing how the Magic do not like Lopez. Can you please explain how assanine this viewpoint is. People keep looking at it merely as a Dwight for Brook swap, which it clearly is not.
Larry Coon
Right. A Howard trade to the Nets would get the Magic several things:
* The chance to unload another contract, presumably Hedo Turkoglu’s. That’s another $11.8 million off their cap this summer, and nearly $34 million total.
* At least one NJ draft pick, likely their lottery pick this summer in a deep draft, and possibly/probably more picks.
* Most likely Marshon Brooks.
And if they don’t like Lopez, then guess what — he’s a free agent this summer. They could walk away from him this summer just as easily as Dwight can walk away from them.
So if they let Brooks walk, they’re potentially left with either:
Brooks, extra draft picks, and $11.8 million extra cap room;
OR
Hedo.
Seems like a no-brainer to me.
I think it's fine.

ot: any espn insiders care to share whats posted about the nets in this
Future Is Now
The NBA landscape has changed mightily since our last rankings. Which teams have the brightest future now? Chad Ford and John Hollinger share their forecast.
nets are probably last
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
Number 17
The Nets may be going for a permanent “Incomplete” in these rankings. For the past few years there have been rumblings and more rumors about how this roster is going to metamorphose into a contender. While the possibilities may be tantalizing, the actual results have been a major letdown.
The one exception was last February’s trade deadline deal that snagged them All-Star point guard Deron Williams. But other than Williams — and possibly Brook Lopez and rookie MarShon Brooks — the Nets’ roster is a mess. That’s no big deal if the team bundles together Lopez, all of its expiring contracts and role players and lands a superstar. But anything less than that (see the Knicks comment) and their future isn’t nearly as bright.
On top of that, the Nets traded for Williams without any assurances that he’d sign a contract extension with the team. He can exercise his early-termination option at the end of the season to become an unrestricted free agent. And if he bolts, the Nets made a catastrophic deal and will plummet even further in these rankings.
The rest of the factors — management, market, money, draft — all hinge on the unknown. Somewhere between now and the end of July, we’ll know more, and when we do, the ranking for the Nets will be much clearer.

honestly I don't get why everyone thinks if Williams bolts it'll be catastrophic
if anything it’ll help, cause we’ll be worse, leading to quicker recovery in the lottery.
you can't count on a quick recovery through the draft
It could take years, to find a real franchise changer, just look at the team endlessly in the lottery . Years of rebuilding and bottom feeding is not a luxury we have moving into Brooklyn next season

If you’ve spent any time in Brooklyn, you know it’s all about two things: swagger and chemical blobs. If the Nets are gonna succeed and take over that borough, hell you have to play tough and gritty and with authority, and you gotta just make your peace with the smells, fumes, clouds, and vapors that just float about and rise upon out of the Gowanus. Blobs are just a way of life.
