T-will traded

[AgentCreed]

Oh Agent Creed Brook already said it's not a given he signs an extension with the Nets this summer. Saying how he is a cali boy and miss the West.

It would be funny if he leaves the Nets for the clippers or another team on the west coast.

man brooke is as good as gone...watch the lakers deal bynum and sign brooke...just watch...the nets have no identity so tryin to take ny is weak...had a shitload of cap space and talent blew it all on bs...i mean jordan farmar? outlaw? c'mon now....melo rejected the nets last season, he rejected them in the offseason, and he's rejected them again last week...if they trade for him with no extension they gonna hold him hostage...the russian is gonna threaten lala or some shit...nobody wants to play for avery no one...after he scared bowers and dude from portland away from the gm job u knew dude was gonna fail...and billy king? dude's fail too...the russian chased away rod thorn for billy king? the nets have no leadership and no one knows what the fuck to do over there...funny thing is the nets coulda buried the knicks if they won those titles with kidd now they're gonna be buried b4 they move to bk...

blueprint to loserness. nj nets edition.

The Knicks are more necessary for the health of the league than the Bulls.

The Bulls have one era of greatness - and that is never taken away from the team.

But outside of Michael Jordan - there is nothing else there for the Bulls historically, and their fans are all connected to that era and nothing else. Bulls fans outside of Chicago aren't Bulls fans, they're Jordan fans - and that's alright.

But as a whole Chicago is worthless to the league. No one gives a fuck if Chicago gets back to dominance, because unless a prime Michael Jordan is on the court for them - they just don't give a fuck.

But New York? Along with Boston and LA these are the only teams that people TRULY give a fuck about - and it's best for the health of the league that these teams are at the very least competitive.

It's no surprise that when Boston and LA started getting their shit together the Finals were having their highest ratings in over a decade. And it was because it was LA and Boston getting it on.

Previously the high marks in the finals were due to Michael Jordan - NOT the bulls.

Look - the bulls are doing pretty well - but no one gives a fuck outside of Chicago. The Knicks are a better story and are getting more attention - because people actually care if the Knicks are doing good - and the Knicks are more fun to watch than the boring ass Bulls.

You can continue to hang your hat on one person - but the facts are the facts.

Chicago is not a part of the major market teams that help the NBA truly succeed - unless Jordan has found the fountain of youth.

Your fav player even said he passing the torch to rose.

After he got shitted on.

The lakers was a doormat in the 90s

Dr buss basically made his team into the bulls part 2.

Same coaching staff

Same "Jordan" type player.

Same everything

Even has Craig fucking hodges.

All NBA teams are tryna do with the bulls did.

Ain't nobody checking for no bums nigga

Why u think we on the cover for 2k11???

We own this basketball shit

 

[The Pope]

damn what team Joe Smith hasn't played for ???

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Boston and lakers fan still salty

 

[LegalMoney]

Yo Beeiii, who you want to win this Wednesday? I know you're a big Celtics fan and I've seen you rep the Knicks too. You good either way right lol

 

[killa kadafi191]

What they need to do is acquire young talent and don't commit to anyone long term. Trade tradable assets for draft picks. Come to BK with flexibility.

No one wants to play in NJ right now, not with NY starting shit up again.

Come to BK with a bunch of young cats who'll play hard night in, night out. Position yourself to sign a big name free agent, or draft a future star.

But they're fucking up.

They're putting all their eggs in one basket (Melo) who'll be 28, 29 by the time they get to brooklyn, knowing he doesn't want to play in Newark when he could play in Manhattan NOW for a team that's on the upswing, rather than play for a team that's stuck in the mud.

Hell, he has to know that even when the Nets were making the finals no one in the tri state area outside of jersey really gave a fuck - even NJ heads didn't give a shit. Those nets tickets when they were contending were EASY to come by.

Nobody you were right. Not about the Twill thing but everything else.

I can admit when I'm wrong. I change my Avi.

I dealt with a 12 win season but I can deal with a trade like this.

This trade doesn't help us at all..

We add another shooter. What the fuck is Avery doing.

FUCK

Morrow Farmer outlaw and now Sasha.

after the game on sunday Kobe said what the Nets problem was

"They have a lot of players that do the same thing," Bryant said. "In rebuilding, you have to put pieces of the puzzle together and find pieces that mix and match and fix. You need versatility. We have players that do different things so the pieces fit extremely well together."

Avery trades the one player that can defend and do other shit???

Man this team is trash

 

[cli-terminator]

Nets front office turning into the eastern conference version of the Warriors & Clippers with this decision

 

[Beeiii]

Twill can play the point and from what I was reading the Rockets will know how to use Twill.

Just like David Aldridge just said Kiki coached the Nets and Twill average 14 7 6 as a starter,

Avery comes and he has brook trying to play like Dirk and Twill is on the bench and sent to the d league for questioning him.

Twill goes to d league and Avery says he wasn't making smart decisions on the court.

Wait wait wait a minute.

Outlaw the player you wanted is shooting 20 percent from 3 and averaging 8.4 points is making 35 million for 5 fucking years!!!!!!!

yet Twill comes off the bench and average 8 pts??

Look at Brook Lopez he only has one double double this season.

Avery offense has brook taking shots like he is fucking Dirk. he is no where near the rim to get a rebound.

Killa,
you were the one that said that the nets need to build around Lopez.
so avery, is just trying to make him that star.
but I told you before, lopez is not a star.
he is an part of a rebuild(age), but he is not a star.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

clippers are the worst.

[Nobody]

you sound dumb as fuck.

How is a non winning franchise important to the NBA?

Those dumb ass Snicks fans will always go to the garden to see the other team.

They are at the bottom of the totem poll for ny sports.

Chicago is the only city in the last 25 years to have each of there sports win a championship.

Fuck outta here nobody.

You don't do shit but pop a lot of shit, and you don't back anything of it up.

I gave yall credit for the MJ era. Chicago - no MJ did his thing.

But that's IT for Chicago as a franchise.

The most ironic part of it is that you're acting like the Bulls(hit) didn't stink it up after MJ left. And you know what? No one gave a fuck that the bulls sucked.

NO ONE.

So now the Bulls have been decent - not even good - but decent for a few seasons and you want to talk shit - because you're mad that the Knicks have been the story thus far in the NBA - and with a roster that's still incomplete they're neck and neck with the Bulls, and the prize this season (Melo) is more interested in playing for NY than for Chicago.

And no one said shit about any other sports - we're talking about basketball.

But go ahead - keep it going.

Fact is - if the Knicks are doing well the NBA gets a boost.

Chicago has no real impact, unless there's a number 23 on the team.

PERIOD.

The Bulls whole history is based off one man. Besides that man there ain't shit else about Chicago Bulls - so maybe you better march your ass back in that pizza thread and pop shit in there instead.

I bet your ass can't even name Chicago Bulls history prior to 1984.

Boston
LA
NY























Chicago


As far as League wide importance.




Chicago with MJ














Boston
LA
NY.

Like I said, you get credit for that - but there isn't anything else.

NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE BULLS EXCEPT BULLS FANS.

But I've constantly heard people say "I'd like to see the Knicks do well, if for anything else it's good for the league"

That's also said for the Lakers and Celtics.

 

[killa kadafi191]

The Nets have begun putting into motion a plan to acquire several assets that the Nuggets have asked for in a potential blockbuster trade for Carmelo Anthony, two people familiar with the situation told CBSSports.com. The first step, agreed to in principle Tuesday, is a three-team trade in which the Nets get a first-round pick from the Rockets and another one from the Lakers. New Jersey sends Terrence Williams to the Rockets and Joe Smith to the Lakers, who send Sasha Vujacic to the Nets, the people familiar with the framework of the deal said. CBSSports.com

Adrian Wojnarowski: If New Jersey can get an agreement with Denver on Anthony trade, Nets officials hope Prokhorov and Avery can sell 'Melo on extension. Twitter

Contrary to another report, however, Anthony at no point informed the Nuggets of his stance. The Nets, who according to sources have received repeated assurances from Anthony's camp that he would extend his contract in a trade to New Jersey, continued with their aggressive strategy to sweeten the assets they could offer the Nuggets. Even as word of Anthony's Knicks-only strategy leaked out Sunday after he made his only scheduled appearance of the season at Madison Square Garden, the Nets were working on the framework of the Houston-L.A. deal that came together Tuesday. A person familiar with the situation said acquiring additional first-round picks was something the Nuggets specifically asked for in an Anthony trade. CBSSports.com

Adrian Wojnarowski: The Knicks are still strong favorites to get 'Melo, but the Nets don't mind making New York sweat it out a little with this deal. Twitter

So this deal isn't about getting better it's just about FUCKING WITH THE KNICKS??????

MAN FUCK THE NETS

 

[shaddyvillethug]

6> 2

At the end of the day

MJ > any other basketball player

Niggas should thank MJ for getting the union some loot.

With Jordan NBA would be like a notch below hockey.

I wish we play the Snicks in the playoffs.

Like I said. It seems u and Boston fans still got that animosty from the 90s

It's ok let it out. U know the truth.

 

[DAHITMAN]

same time as Brooks but the way Lowery has been playing Brooks will likely be traded.

Brooks was upset at not getting an extension.

If I'm Houston I make a run at Brook Lopez next season.

I hsve a feeling Brook will resign with NJ, but it would be interesting to see Yao and Brook play together.

Can you say the new "Twin Towers" ala Moses Malone and Hakeem the Dream.

lol. I actually like Derrick Rose - and I'm inclined to agree with you guys that he doesn't get respect from the refs.

But besides Rose and Joakim Noah (who I like a helluva lot) the Bulls are boring as fuck.

I'm not like you - I can be impartial. Like I said I like two players on your team, and I would like to see them do well - and if the bulls win or lose it matters nothing to me.

But like I said in my previous post - there's two ways of going about it.

LA Boston NY

Chicago way down there

or

Chicago with MJ

LA Boston NY

Of course teams are trying to do what the bulls did, which was win 6 titles in 8 years. Any team would try to mimic that. However, the Bulls aren't shit without MJ - meaning nationwide people don't give a fuck about the bulls like they do Boston, LA and NY. It's simple.

As for "we" (the bulls) being on the cover for 2k11 - it's not the bulls being on the cover, its MJ.

Like I said, the entire bulls history revolves around Jordan.

And if the bulls never made the playoffs again it wouldn't have the same impact if it were the Celtics, Knicks, or Lakers not making the playoffs again.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

You can continue to hang your hat on one person - but the facts are the facts.

Chicago is not a part of the major market teams that help the NBA truly succeed - unless Jordan has found the fountain of youth.

Does NYC need competitive teams yes. But your argument can be turned back on you since you shitting on Chicago. Outside of Boston no one gives a fuck about a Celtic. Outside of LA no one gives a fuck about a Laker. Outside of New York no one gives a fuck about a Knick. Then let us take in account the Detroit and Philadelphia fans, they could give a fuck less about a Bulls, Celtics, Lakers, or Knicks.

 

[Nobody]

So this deal isn't about getting better it's just about FUCKING WITH THE KNICKS??????

MAN FUCK THE NETS

They're going to fuck around and send the wrong signal to players.

 

[killa kadafi191]

Killa,

so avery, is just trying to make him that star.
but I told you before, lopez is not a star.
he is an part of a rebuild(age), but he is not a star.

Beeii

Lopez numbers as a rookie

13 and 8 rebs a game

09-10 stats

18.8 and 8.6 rebs a game

this year

19 and 6 rebs a game.

what the fuck.

Lopez has one double double this season. he is shooting more jumpers and playing like he is fucking dirk.


Avery offense sucks.

He thinks he is a fucking genius.

the reason the Magic shooters hit shots is because Dwight plays in the paint.

Lopez has played in the paint the last two year till Avery and this new offense came in.

Lopez is as good as gone.

You really are dumb as shit. Jackson was the best available coach when he got Jackson. Of course Jackson is gonna bring his people & coaching style with him to LA. The players were already there before Phil got there so FOH with that following Krause's blueprint. Jackson tweaked it to work with his coaching scheme & brought the Lakers back to dominance while your Bulls turned into garbage. As soon as Jordan left, Chicago went to shit and are just now recovering. Your basketeball ineptude never ceases to amaze me. You stay saying dumb biased ass shit & then duck the truthful statements that are thrown at you.

Oh yeah?

Peep the ratings.

Check the ratings when LA got back to the playoffs with Kobe as the lead - and that series against the Suns.

Or Boston/LA in 2008 - and that entire 2008 playoffs. Or Ratings for Boston/LA 2010.


Or how about shit like Allan Houston's jersey being a top 10 seller despite never being a superstar nor a top 10 player.

These teams doing well means a lot for the league's bottom dollar.

Hell, look at game threads and playoff threads on here!

Or look at your posting history shaddy. You STAY in threads that mention the Knicks, always have a comment on the Knicks and NY.

But it's not the same for the Bulls.

 

[killa kadafi191]

They're going to fuck around and send the wrong signal to players.

they already did.

Avery plays his players no matter how bad they play.

Twill takes one jump shot or turnover he is pulled out.

Devin Harris lobbies hard for Avery and then Avery tries to trade him???

Meanwhile, the uncertainty that’s surrounding teams involved in the talks is starting to take a predictable toll on egos and emotions at training camps. Even if a deal for Anthony never materializes, New Jersey coach Avery Johnson has serious repairs to make with Nets point guard Devin Harris, a league source told Yahoo! Sports on Monday.

Derrick Favors gets 15 mins a game. wait a minute Avery you said dude is the future and would get playing time.

In 20 mins dude was averaging a double double and only second to blake.

Yet they add another shooter and another pick.

 

[AgentCreed]

So this deal isn't about getting better it's just about FUCKING WITH THE KNICKS??????

MAN FUCK THE NETS

woj hates the knicks...he's hated them for years....dude will do anything in article to shit on the knicks...he once had lebron going to the nets then the clips and everyone but the knicks...but the nets along with pat riley were the team who trashed the knicks meeting with lebron, riley won but it came out the nets talked shit and told woj the donnie in a wheelchair offended lebron...also the nets were practically hi-5'ing themselves and acting like they won the title....then the billboard...this is a bitchass trade by nj

What do they have to lose?

Play Favor 20-26 mins a game and bring him along.

Deal with what happens, and get another high draft pick.

Instead he's trying to turn them into a playoff team? WTF?

You are wrong
The laker and the Celtics are the NBA.
Look at the rating dude!!!
what rock are you under. having those teams in the playoffs and championship make every other team money!!!

He's a good second option behind a real good first, or a part of the puzzle.

But he's never struck me as a franchise guy.

 

[LegalMoney]

I'm trying to think outside of the box, but can someone perhaps Killa explain to me how the Nets keep getting "assurances" from Melo's camp that he would sign an extension? Haven't these "assurances" been popping up since the Summer? And if so, the initial offer of Favors and a first was hands down the Nugget's best offer all season, and was presumably on the table up until today?

I'm thinking that Melo's camp doesn't want his image to take a beating like LeBron's did. If Melo appears diplomatic and willing to extend with the team that trades for him like a "good lil' athlete" then fans won't bitch, but if he takes a hard line stance on New York or bust fans and the media would liken him to other spoiled divas. By putting the onus on Denver, you remove culpability from Melo's hands. I'm sure Denver would have traded him to New Jersey months ago but for him saying fuck the Nets.

dude can't rebuild or deal with young players.

who the hell signs travis outlaw for 35 million to a young team????

what the fuck??

you keep your cap space and play twill at the SF spot like Kiki did.

Avery is so full of shit.

agent creed and d town warned me.

Coach Avery Johnson referred to Terrence Williams as the "sixth man of the year" on Monday.
Johnson said it in a half-joking manner, but it shows how much faith he has in Williams. The breakout candidate is going to play a ton of minutes off the bench and should be drafted as if he was starting. Over the final seven games of last season, Williams averaged 14.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists.

this from a yahoo article I totally agree with

And on the court? He was brilliant.

Twenty-eight points, 11 rebounds, nearly 11 assists per game. Exactly what you'd imagine from a person who could be this game's best all-around bench forward, as he slices his way through the D-League battlers. And on a Nets team featuring a gimpy Devin Harris(notes), and a bench that is nothing to write home about, Williams at his best could be the perfect solution. The guy won't win it this year, but he has Sixth Man of the Year talent. Those D-League numbers were no joke.

Williams appears well on his way to doing his share. Now it's up to Avery Johnson to try to make a great talent into a great player. Which is sort of the point of coaching. It's not always about cheering the guy who took the charge after he's done it. It's about turning everyone else on your team into the guy that wants to take the charge.

 

[AgentCreed]

chicago cats stay riding jordan's dick even when he's the owner of the bobcats...no jordan in the chi and what u got? nothing... since jordan left what u got? nuthin...a gm fighting his coach, an owner too cheap to spend and constant rebuilding....even the fuckin nets went to the finals in that time...now y'all got rose, boozer and noah and what else? u got a coach from our old coaching staff who couldn't get a head coaching job until the bulls took a shot on him...vinny and scott say hi when it comes to the bulls picking coaches. but least y'all had good coaches...the knicks have sucked for 10 yrs b/c we had idiots running this team then donnie and mike come in 2 yrs to gut the team and boom we're on our way to 45 wins and top level players r considering ny again...the bulls have rebuilt twice in 10 yrs and the knicks once and we're neck and neck....i don't mind the chi y'all got fine ass women but bulls fans r jordan fans if there was no jordan y'all would be the bucks.

it's bullshit.

no way Melo says that.

who in their right mind joins a team that is 6-18 when you can force yourself to your preferred choice.

the Nets sold tickets this season on the bullshit belief that Lebron was going to be a Net.

Imagine you are a net fan your team like last year is already near 20 losses in December.

You hear over and over the Knicks who are back and winning are going to get Carmelo.

The Nets are saying this shit so the fans stay interested.

BK is over once Melo is a knick.

Fuck it even if they do acquire melo without an extension their ticket sells will jump.

This has nothing to do with basketball the Nets are fucking scared of the Knicks and what will be

but we can't compare lopez to Dwight:

the magic shooters are elite. so Dwight in middle compliments them.
the nets don't have shooters like that.
and from the nets games that I watch he gets manhandled by other bigs inside.
I think Avery is trying to get him a more well rounded game

That's lame as hell. Mortgage your future because you don't like how the next man's doing. They should have groomed their young assets and by the time they make the move to BK go after whoever is the stud then.

man the 1st nets offer was better... harris, favors, twill plus 2 first rounders then the 4 team deal which was good but the nuggets fucked that deal until it died...now the nets r offering favors who is reminding ppl of stromile swift, murphy who somehow pissed off avery and a shitload of picks that could be in the low 20's

....the nets r fucking up...but melo's ppl r tryin to save his image dude is a nice guy he has some bitch in him(see the mardy punch and run from nate) but he's a nice guy and he probably doesn't wanna fuck over den but if the nets take him they better know he won't sign and even if the nets get him they've traded EVERYTHING away and won't even have picks or cap space to rebuild they won't even be able to sign paul or trade for him if they get melo...

...i don't see lopez, melo and jordan farmar and travis outlaw going gang busters in the east with the celts, heat, magic and returning knicks...can't see melo being ok signing long term when he'll be stuck on a bad team with avery johnson when he could be playing at the mecca with his best friend and a coach he won a us title for in 2006...

If I'm Houston I make a run at Brook Lopez next season.

The Rockets will be stupid to deal Brooks unless they're getting a star caliber player back in return. Brooks is a Rick Adleman type of point guard that can score penetrate & shoot outside. Brooks was pissed that Lowery is currently getting payed more than him and Lowery is a back up. I like Kyle Lowery for his toughness but he can't shoot for shit so the Brooks and Lowery combo is good for Rockets. I'm sure Darryl Morey will pay dude in due time.

As for T-Will, I kind of like this trade because the Rockets have terrible defensive guards/forwards and T-Will is an automatic upgrade defensively. Battier is getting long in the tooth so they probably want to have a good look at T-will as a possible Battier replacement down the line. Hopefully Adleman can utilize his talent in the Rockets offense because from watching him in college he's an athlete that can get up and down the floor.
