So did not expect to see a text about this in the middle of Spanish.

The Eastern Conference is a better and more competitive conference than the Western Conference.

the only thing, if we deal Lopez now, we'd have Dan Gadzuric and Johan Petro as our centers...ew

thenewfeature06 · 02-23-2011, 12:43 PM

Haha yeah that is true...

InsideCarolina *the twitter account* just reported that you guys did get Brandon Wright. verified!

WMD · 02-23-2011, 12:45 PM

Congrats to New Jersey. Utah got an alright deal but I would've expected them to get more for Deron.. I didn't expect him to get traded at all.

Hopefully the Pistons can work something up.

Not like the next 2 years matter for the Nets

Dwight and Deron would be sexy to watch.

Hey! Stop this right now! You're ruining my Double D LA 12 movement!

/lakers homer.

This is a huge gamble by NYJ. I like the fact that Prokhorov showed he's got balls, and that Melo wasn't holding them hostage like some thought he was. Still, if he doesn't resign, this could potentially set them back for years. One less tradeable asset and no lottery pick.

Still, if it works out, it's a fantastic move for the Nets.

Edit: Melo holding the Nets hostage, not Prokhorov's balls.

I mean if you want to ship a guy like Deron off, don't you at least leak it to the press for 24 hours, try and get some offers in? I know Cuban probably would of overpaid had he known he was available, Deron is from Dallas(not like that matters because he's just really good). Still I can only imagine teams would start bidding with each other, and it's still pretty damn funny that they couldn't keep Sloan or Deron.

it doesn't matter about now. the nets' aren't doing anything this year anyways. might as well build up for brooklyn.

Chucky · 02-23-2011, 12:50 PM

This is the kinda deal that a team like the Nets is gonna have to make to compete in the NBA today. Great move and risk by them

derza222 · 02-23-2011, 01:02 PM

Wonder if the Nets could get in on Gerald Wallace...isn't he supposedly on the block? I'd guess after trading the pick and contracts they can't but that would be awesome, would definitely make Nets games a lot more appealing to go to.

EDIT:
If they had any shot at him they probably would've saved the Murphy contract I guess. Still would be cool.

scottyboy · 02-23-2011, 01:10 PM

Gerald Wallace would definately be AWESOME. I love him. I wonder if we discussed Murphy's contract for him. damn that would've been sweet

being the lone nets fan, and just trading for a superstar, the Nets talk shall continue!

meh. This has died down tenfold...D and I used to post in here like every day like two years ago...but the Magic talk is rather infrequent now.

I'd rather live in Utah, surrounded my mormons, than live in Newark, where you have like a 60/40 chance to get shanked by and/or pissed on by some random hobo in any given week.

SeanTaylorRIP · 02-23-2011, 01:28 PM

F the NBA the Wizards will be forever losers and John Wall will leave us once his rookie contract is done.

Yup, the new cba must destroy these superteams.

A buddy of mine is at USU for football, too. He hasn't left, but he rags on Mormons every time I talk to him(no offense, jballa.) I think though we can edit the last sentence of your first paragraph.

So now the Jazz have both Paul Millsap and Derrick Favors at PF. I guess that's a good predicament to have.

Just a random thought but in 2012 if they dont extend guys like Jeff Green, Maynor, etc, the Thunder depending on the new CBA rules would have enough money to add a max player. Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Dwight Howard IMO is the best trio of players in terms of natural fit with each other. That would be crazy
