RutgersJetFan Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 ...he's going to have to take half like pothead Larry Sanders did in Milwaukee. Nice call, Fermat. Marc Stein ✔ @ESPNSteinLine As part of his buyout arrangement w/Nets, Deron Williams expected to get in the $25-to-$30 million range and then add Mavs deal on top of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Aldridge reporting the buyout is done, but has no details on the money. Just goes to show you, when another organization is dumping a supposedly elite player, chances are that there's a pretty good, very real reason for it. Good luck with Fat Melo, btw.

Difference of less than $1 mil on the annual stretch payment. I'll be interested to see if there's any make-good from the Mavs on this. Hard to believe that the Nets would give DWill away unless something was coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the Knicks dumped their first rounder for next year too. At least you guys can get rid of Johnson and really tank the **** out of things and it'll all be worth it and...awwwwwwww snap.

They took their shot in a weak east and came up short. The Pierce/Garnett trade is the one that burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Bargnani signing with Nets. Weird. They just got under the luxury tax and I believe this squeaks them back over it. I'm guessing they'll try to give him Teletovic's minutes, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Him and Lopez are the softest front line in the history of the sport.

SMC Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) With The Russian cleaning house after Billy King did exactly what The Russian wanted, I was staggered by the summary of BK's moves: During King's tenure with the Nets, the team traded 11 first-round picks (including Derrick Favors and swaps, but hey, at least they'd be able to buy second-rounders …), made four head-coaching changes (Avery Johnson, P.J. Carlesimo, Jason Kidd, Lionel Hollins) and spent $123.43 million in luxury taxes (including a league-record $90.57 million in 2013-14) in an effort to win now. "Before he was hired in Brooklyn, Billy had a reputation of firing coaches, overpaying free agents and making false promises with blockbuster trades that left the organization in shambles," one NBA executive told ESPN.com. "And with a billionaire owner and a limitless war chest, Billy 2.0 with the Nets was that game plan on steroids." http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14545999/billy-king-era-comes-merciful-end-brooklyn-nets Edited January 11, 2016 by SMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Ainge butt****ing Prokhorov's envoy guy. Sounds like they're going to chase Calipari around and throw all their cap space at sh*tty free agents this offseason. If they dump Lopez, they have a shot at turning it around before 2024. If they keep fooling themselves into believing that Lopez is a building block, they'll continue to win 30 games a year until he perishes.

Bugg Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 At a total loss how anyone looks at a great college coach like Calipari without grasping his sole talent of recruiting 18 year olds does nothing for an NBA team. Otherwise he's no better than any run of the mill retread NBA coach. Including the guy they just fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Celtics own the Nets 2016 and 2018 1st round picks and the right to swap in 2017. That's brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
