Next Battleground for Nets-Knicks: Who Gets 2014 All-Star Game

PrintThe NBA on Wednesday awarded the 2013 All-Star Game to the Houston Rockets. The mid-season classic will be Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013 at the Toyota Center, which will also host the NBA Rising Stars Challenge and NBA All-Star Saturday Night, which includes the dunk and three-point shooting contest and skills challenge.
So who gets the 2014 game ... and accompanying weekend? Since the NBA often rewards teams and cities that have made big financial commitments to new arenas, word is that Barclays Center and the renovated Madison Square Garden will be at the top of the list.
"We are in the big event business, and the All-Star Game certainly would be classified as a big event," Brett Yormark recently told Big Lead Sports. "Our goal is to be aggressive to host every big event that we can."
But a league source reports that New York may have already told the NBA it cannot support the All-Star game. It would come only two weeks after the 2014 Super Bowl, which will be held in MetLife Stadium.

I hope we steal the Draft from NYK permanently.
They have two more summers of construction at the Garden, the second being when the BC is complete, so hopefully we can have it in Brooklyn that year and work from there.

Yormark said it to my face
Basketball is first and foremost a business and anyone who thinks otherwise is being naive.
Sure feels that way being a Nets fan.
Don’t worry though, for $550,000 per year you can immunize yourself from the Nets’ bad basketball:

After watching the nets come back last night and then lose it again in the 4th.. I left feeling sorry for myself. Watching a team that lets Shawne Williams shoot 12 shots in a game… 12 shots that came no where near going in the basket. Then I watched Duke vs UNC. Watching Duke come back and win it was just awesome. When I went to bed, i was just laying there hoping the Nets will become relavent again soon and the Nets/Knicks Rivalry will be somewhat of a comparison in the future… a man can dream, right?

I'll start by saying I love NJ, but I am ALL FOR this move to Brooklyn. NJ failed as a market.
That said, isn’t Brooklyn sort of a specialized, niche market itself? Brooklyn to me is a small hometown market within one of the biggest markets in the world.
I hope this move works.

If Gilbert arenas ever worries you, and it has nothing to do with his possession of firearms...
I think you should step back from the situation a bit. If Dwight follows Gilbert Arenas, then we never wanted him in the first place
case and point of us needing superstars:
Deron Williams amazing over the shoulder drop off pass to Sheldon last night. Sheldon bobbled it and lost the ball.
how about just NBA starting caliber talent
I’m sure there are a lot of guys not labeled “superstars” who could catch that pass
"Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Steve Jobs to win the lotto." - Chris Rock
Patrick Ewing - The NBA's all-time leader in rushing yards
this
Shelden Williams shouldn’t be playing more than 8 minutes a night on an NBA team. if we’re considering anyone better than Shelden Williams a superstar, then that leaves about 95% of the NBA.
Basically our issues now are a complete failure to fill roster holes with NBA average players.
one does not simply walk into mordor...unless winter is coming
Actually Shelden Williams should get about 15 mpg
and makes a really good backup, which was the original plan.
But I do agree that it would have been better to build the old fashioned way all along. That would have meant Beasley instead of Outlaw, a frontcourt of Brook, Hump, Favors, and Kanter (or Valancunis), possibly 3 picks in this draft and loads of cap space.
Downside is Devin Harris would still be our PG and Howard wouldn’t even be considering the Nets.

And he only earns about $1 million a year
He has trouble making chippies on most nights but his Duke pedigree shines through pretty much everything he does. He’s a heady big man that can really bang. Would make a terrific impact coming off the bench as a fourth big.

its a "small" hometown market, with a massive hometown
insane population density for a small area.
one does not simply walk into mordor...unless winter is coming
Brooklyn is NOT a niche market and there's nothing small about it.
It has 2.5 million residents, incredible mass transit and a proud history which (for good and bad) is only rivaled by its trendiness. More importantly (unlike Staten Island, or Queens, or the Bronx, and in some respects even Manhattan) “Brooklyn” is a global name onto itself. That name isn’t as big as “New York” but, just in terms of the name now, it has something cooler to it.
Kinda like the old Harlem Rens were not known as the New York Rens b/c back in the day simply saying “Harlem” (although less known) implied something cooler than “New York.” Hope that makes sense.
Opulence, I has it.
just so you know
the area the stadium is in has been an economically deprived area for quite some time. if any of you are familiar with the flats in brooklyn then you know what i am talking about. the reason the stadium is being built there in the first place is to transform run down brooklyn into what it use to be when my grandparents and parents grew up there. they are trying to economically revive this part of the city. its a great idea, and has a great chance of working. but for those of you who hear “Brooklyn” and picture “Times Square”, you will be unpleasantly surprised.

Somebody might be on DWill's ear
all day long keeping him calm. At times he looks so mad but moving along. He was upset when Shawne Williams missed that open shot to cut the lead. You have to feel for the guy. He is put in a helpless situation asking him to be calm.
I wonder how he got 8 assists oer game when our bigs drop point blank passes at the rim. It is frustrating for us to watch and imagine how frustrating for him to pass the ball and see the bigs drop it and turnover.

My 2 skills in basketball is court vision and defense
When it comes to receiving a pass, you have to be comfortable with the person giving you the ball. The first few times guys dropped passes or missed open shots , Deron was supposed to give then words of encouragement , if they continued, he should have chewed them out. Some blame goes to Avery , this team does not trust each other . A true PG should be born with this, like I said , I have not seen anything special from Dwill. Deron is borderline star and I don’t mind having him.

Also
I hate the blatant bias the media has for the Knix. From Newspaper, to radio, the internet, and BSPN. The Nets never really got the respect a back to back NBA finalist should get. If it was the Knicks going the finals we would have never heard the last of it. All we heard was how weak the East was during that time and how if the Nets could make it to the finals something must be wrong. Those series against Boston and Detroit were awesome. Detroit had to go out and get Rasheed Wallace to finally beat the Nets. The Nets were relevant when then Knix were terrible. MSG fans were booing the Knix on a regualr basis and the Nets were beating them consistently and even swept them in the playoffs. As soon the Nets dismantled the playoff team the media focused on how bad they were evn though the Knix were just as bad.

Really watch the kid and if your eyes don’t pop out the ill leave it alone. Maybe it’s like you said but you’ll love what you see. What does Deron do but show he’s Boss Hogg! Farmer can put up better stats and we can lose 18 games.
I truely believe Lin would help or win/loss if he was our PG.
BTW, all the players Dwight wants to play with are questionable. Dudes a beast but if I was Ottis , I wouldn’t sign any players he like unless there was no other options.

we were in the finals ten years ago man. Since that time we have devolved into one of the worst franchises in the sport. It’s not hard to see why the Knicks get all of the love and we get crapped on, people live in the here and now.
Right now: The Knicks have Carmelo, Chandler, and Amare. They now also have an Asian-American player putting on one hell of a display over the last three games, including a game where he made Deron look like a fool.
Until we DO SOMETHING instead of telling people what we’re going to do, this will not change.

he’s perfect for D’Antoni’s system, he’s perfect for NY, and he plays with balls. They will go over the cap to retain him.
I don’t know how he’ll do once the scouting reports on him circulate, but having Carmelo and Amare next to him with Chandler in the paint will make it kind of hard for defenses to key in on him, ensuring more success for Mr. Lin.
Good luck to him, any guy that is getting by sleeping on his brother’s couch while tearing up talented NBA PGs is alright in my book.

The guy was the one of the if not the best player in California and didn’t get a sniff from college recruiters, the best player ever in the ivy leagues and didn’t get drafted. Im glad he’s getting his shot, even if he is a Knick.

They can only offer him the MLE
The Knicks are over the cap and they don’t have his bird rights. Someone can offer him up to the mid-level exception due to the Gilbert Arenas provision. Knicks will need to use their MLE if they want to keep him… if he keeps up this play they will

this was the first season going in, I felt we could start looking like an NBA team
I wasn’t sure if there was enough there to sneak into the playoffs, but I kinda felt we’d see some good things from DWill and Avery’s system. There was no way to know that BLo would get injured during the pre-season and that kinda killed it, but this season went from being a roller-coaster ride to an embarrassment again.
they also pick the teams for the rising star game

Who cares about the all-star game
After going to the game last night and watching that joke of a game in person, and then reading the uni’s and colors are going to be delayed, I am furious with this franchise. I am so sick and tired of watching a piss poor product night in and night out while all Nets care about is Jay-z and his stupid suites that no one will go unless Dwight is on the team. Get off Jay-Z’s junk already. I’m tired of him, tired of Yormark, tired of not seeing Proky at a single game this year. NI, just post the next thread saying Bogans is out indefinitely with a broken ankle and let’s move on with pathetic final season in Jersey.

True story...
My cable box was going bonkers last night while watching the first quarter of last nights game, so I called up Time Warner and spoke to one of their representatives. I explained to him that I was watching the Nets game on YES network and he started to laugh. I asked him what was so funny and he replied that he was also a Nets fan. For the next fifteen minutes we got into a discussion about the lack of talent right now on the team and our hopes for the future. He finally got around to fixing my problem and said goodbye and after I hung up the phone I thought to myself maybe he posts on NetsDaily. “If you’re out there dude…It’s me from last night”….

wait
Team turned a corner in a positive way a couple weeks ago; then opposing defenses realized they don’t need to settle for jump shots against the Nets; having no legit big man next to Hump hurts any defense even if Tom Thibodeau were coaching. There’s no telling if BLo will be the answer defensively and we all kinda know the answer to that. Just sad that this team is going to play the last season in NJ this way. Looking more and more like the Organization could care less about winning until Brooklyn.
The Great Debate
Who is better Dwill or Lin?
Let the BSPN begin!!!!
Shaking my Head.
Dwill (Career: 17.4pt 9.2ast) <<<<<< Lin (9.0pt 3.5 ast)
Wall (16.5 pts 7ast) <<<<<<< the GREAT LIN
Clearly Dwill and Wall are just WEAK opposition.

Erik Dampier just signed a 10 day with the Hawks
Good thing we didn’t use our valuable cap space on a guy who could be a nice holdover till Brook gets back. I’m sure Petro will continue to produce in his absence.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
dampier stinks
+ he’s old and probably got fat while out of the league. petro’s failure doesn’t make other bad players any more worthwhile.
i am not asking him to come in and save the team
he gives us an inside presence. that is all. hopefully in 10 days Brook would be back and then you kick him to the curb. that’s all I would have been looking for.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
Just saw that as well
I would have liked to see the Nets give him a shot a little earlier on. We desperately need someone who has at least half a clue how to anchor a defense down low. I don’t care how out of shape he may be. Our bigs have no clue what they’re doing on defense and that includes Hump. Watching him last night, he lost his guy nearly every time down the court and it led to numerous uncontested layups or dunks.
whatever minutes dampier would get here
are minutes we could be giving to jordan williams or some d-leaguer. then again, we may disagree on just how bad he is. i wouldn’t want a loser like damp adding any more negative energy to this squad.
I would have liked for them to bring up Foote and see what he does

Nets - Yankees
I remember in 1992, i had only been watching baseball religiously just a few years before that and that coincided with the Yanks bad years. I remember seeing teams like the A’s and Blue Jays dominate and I’d look at the Yanks squad and be like, “this team’s glory years is waaaay behind them…i see no end to this futility.” Yanks proved me wrong and into their dynasty they went just a few seasons later.
I keep thinking I’ll look back at these past few Nets seasons and think, “I can’t believe I survived that mess as a sports fan!” This would be after winning back-2-back NBA finals within the next few seasons. But man, it’s gonna have to happen to one of the NY teams. And if it’s the Knicks….Nets organization might as well pack up their bags again and leave Brooklyn for greener pastures in the West Coast somewhere.
just so you know...
The area the stadium is in has been an economically deprived area for quite some time. if any of you are familiar with the flats in Brooklyn then you know what i am talking about. the reason the stadium is being built there in the first place is to transform a run down Brooklyn into what it use to be when my grandparents and parents grew up there. they are trying to economically revive this part of the city. its a great idea, and has a great chance of working. but for those of you who hear "Brooklyn" and picture "Times Square", you will be unpleasantly surprised.
The immediate surroundings, perhaps...
…But go a few blocks further and you get plenty of luxury condos in one direction and expensive brownstones in another.

Deron is horrid, he doesn’t want to play and is a turnover machine. Anyone who supports him in Jersey doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Our starting lineup for now should be.

Economically Deprived?
I’m not sure I would describe Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Ft. Greene (the neighborhood’s surrounding the Barclays Center) as economically deprived, unless neighborhoods with $3 million brownstones and BMW’s and Mercedes lining the streets qualifies as economically deprived these days. Part of the reason Atlantic Yards generally and the Barclays Center specifically has been so controversial was because of the NIMBY Factor. In a nutshell, people living in those $3 million brownstones with their $60,000 luxury vehicles don’t want a bunch of drunk basketball fans urinating on their homes / cars. I’m certainly simplifying things, and the critics will publicly decry the use of eminent domain, abuse of political influence and yada, yada yada…..but at the end of the day, it’s classic NIMBY-ism…..Not In My Back Yard.
But just to be clear (in terms of neighborhoods) Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Ft. Greene are not Crown Heights, East Flatbush or Brownsville…which can more truthfully be described as economically deprived.
The irony is that the actual footprint of the Atlantic Yards project is literally a Hole-in-the-ground, has been a hole-in-the-ground for over 50 years (the Dodgers actually wanted to build a new stadium at this exact site before the bolted for LA) and ANYTHING that is built there would be a tremendous improvement for that area and for Brooklyn in general.
