Nets still don't have an elite PG. Adding cats on their last legs from Boston doesn't make them a threat in the East...to me. I'm not sure how Kidd will play AK47 off the bench. Still, moves made don't equal improvement. See Joe Johnson as proof.

id rather have my owner fight for 4th place than to wave a white flag and still try and sell me tickets for $100
Hmm...not sure i agree. The real test is how these moves set the Nets up for the next year or two after Pierce and Garnet leave. I don't see them getting to the Finals or even ECF this year.
NOBODY wants to see us at full strength
We would body the nets
We would body the nets
I can't even talk shit y'all bodied us @ home @ half strength
this season will be fun but I'm under no delusions...would love to see durant in bk tho next couple years...dude would automatically become my favorite bball player of all time...right now it dr j w/ pat ewing a very distant second
ya I'd like to think shit like this is what attracts big name free agents
failing????
Again in 3 years he has transformed one of the worst franchises in the league.
The Mavericks and Jose Caludron spent last night trying to woo Samuel Dalembert.
That sentence right there is funny just saying it.
Proky isn't allowing the new CBA to punk him out and by 2016 we will have cap space during a nice free agency class
You use the words keep failing and overpaying players passed their prime. Maybe you forgot the Mavericks just gave 20 million plus to a 32 year old player and 9 million to a player they traded away who is now at best a bench player and now trying to convince an average center to sign to Dallas instead of taking a pay cut to join Miami.
After missing out on Deron Cp3 Dwight Bynum and others.
Who keeps failing again???
He is free agent when the Nets have cap space again
thanks man and your gifs have made it on NBA.com that westbrook one and Paul Pierce
I'm just saying ya'll pay more luxury tax than anyone(as do the Lakers) and all ya'll have to show for it is a 1st round exit.
And I don't know why you always bring up the Mavericks as if they are some model franchise.
I tell you the Mavs suck and you will reply with "But they missed out on Dwight and Deron..." yea well no shit. I told you we suck. Well i'd rather have neither.
I'd prefer how the Spurs and Thunder are doing it. Drafting and developing talent. Proky is doing the same bullshit the Mavs use to do when Cuban first got here. Trading for Antawn Jamison and Antoine Walker, trading for Nick Van Exel, trading for Raef Lafrentz, trading for Jason Terry, trading for Jerry Stackhouse....i've seen it done time and time again. I'm still waiting to see that approach work for someone....thus far it hasn't.
Isn't that how you get better though? Waving the white flag? Celtics waved the white flag and got a championship out of it.
I wouldnt cal DWill shit...but yeah...Basically.
As for the Bulls....word is theyre waiting till the FA frenzy dies down. Then theyll pick up some scrapes to finish off the bench. If no one gives you a call....you'll take a small contract Especially if its from a high profiled contender in a big city; thats gonna get a lot of press off D Rose comeback alone.
All we need is another big man. If Noah gets hurt......Nazr aint a guy thats gonna give you 30+ mins a game.
Besides that...everything else is copacetic. Whether its championship caliber or not is yet to be seen. But definitely a contender for now and better than both NY teams. And the experts agree!!!
BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i'd rather have neither.
It eventually did work
Went to 2 finals and won 1
Trading for niggas the whole time!
Trading is all we did!
Mavs have NEVER built through the draft(Dirk, Josh Howard, and Harris to an extent is it!) or free agency cuz we were always over the cap
Traded for niggas and got role players for cheap in free agency
its not even specifically to the nets. its to an owner's mindset their owner is trying to win. he ain't a basketball mind he has people he hired and they're telling him moves they think he should make. if you're a basketball guy and you say damn we should do this, this and this you want to go to your owner present it and have him say "do it".. every time. not go "well shit how much that cost? and who we gotta cut? and well shit how much can we raise tickets if we do get him?" that's that loser shit.
the moves i don't know about but MAKING MOVES is always better than staying pact when you clearly can't win it all.
the bulls need to get rid of boozer period. they need to make this happen. his defense isn't excellent. he ain't grabbing 10 boards, and on a team without derrick rose he couldn't get you 20ppg. if its a contract year then forget that keep him cause he's gonna have a monster year..but if he has more years on the deal get out of the boozer business.
bulls ain't even got enough talent to be over the cap that's just real shit. you pay rose and noah.. everyone else is robbing the bulls. should've paid asik...
it does, along with a great market. brooklyn is new york whether the knicks want to admit it or not. big huge market and an owner saying i want to win.
Isn't that how you get better though? Waving the white flag? Celtics waved the white flag and got a championship out of it.
nah they didn't
they were shitty so they got rondo. mchale gave ainge a favor and ray left seattle cause he wasn't fucking with going to oklahoma. perfect storm. celtics got 25 picks and they probably produce 1 player.
and they got white bread as the coach we'll see what rondo does. he ain't respect doc so if he respects and works with white bread.. then rondo is on the shit list as far as im concerned. meaning he ain't shit

They used those same draft picks to get Garnett and Allen though.
100 favors.
any other gm ain't giving up either. not for no draft picks bro lol this ain't the current kg pierce and them. this is the im still elite kg and ray lol.
that's like trading 2011 dirk to the warriors for monta ellis and a first round pick

For that first championship run it was Dirk, Howard, Harris and I think Diop that helped us get there. Second time around it was Chandler and Dirk but Dirk was still homegrown. Second run it was Chandler, Dirk and other pieces we traded for. I guess it did work out trading but shit I didn't like it and shit we all were saying how trash our squad was that year.
Damn.....Mavs better not be on this bullshit Nets are. Nets doing this shit to keep up with the Knicks. We ain't competing with the Spurs and Rockets so don't even try to keep up with them. Just rebuild but shit it ain't happening I know.
besides that's still a trade and obviously not the same as developing the talent you drafted as you mentioned when talking about the spurs/thunder...you always got something to say about ny teams
Them cats were into their 30's though.
Its not like Lebron or Bosh in their 20's. They don't want to play for you so you gotta trade them and get something. Draft picks and no salary? Teams gonna pass that up?
It is but he said its better than waving the white flag and the Celtics did that literally. Them niggas giving Gabe Pruitt 40 minutes a night and shit that year and sitting Pierce. They waved the flag and used that pick on Jeff Green who they have now but at the time was a Sonic/Thunder. They traded 2 1st rounders for KG. They waved the white flag and turned that into KG and Ray Allen.
"Comrade.Tha spy is in place at tha pentagon.Tha other should arrive at tha white house shortly.I've done everything on my end.Now what do we do about my problem???"
"Comrade you worry to much.Andrei WILL represent Russia.My man is already on tha job."
"Andrei now that wasn't so hard was it???"
Them cats were into their 30's though.
when they traded k.g. that shit was HUGE. he still had it. shit he really ain't even lose it till last year.
then ray allen? move around dunk on you ray allen?
for table scraps?
this trade is different. its the end of the run so i get it for both teams. i don't know what it does for brooklyn cause d will and lopez need to grow some nuts then we can see what's up. but they for damn sure have enough to make a run don't be fooled into thinking otherwise.
His money his choices!! Fuck the other owners! The League knew what they were getting in to when they approved his purchase of the team! This has to be one of the first times an owner basically said 'fuck the salary cap and luxury tax'! What is there to investigate, you put the penalties in place, he can afford to pay them, fuck it!!!
I agree.
sour grapes 
Boot these niggas from the league
I'm sorry but this stuff is funny. I wake up and see more people want Proky investigated. Saying that the Boston trade now that it is fully completed has left the Nets in a better place than Boston.
As I said many times the Nets after this trade are set up for 2016. Boston for some reason not only took the bad contract of Gerald Wallace but gave Keith Bogans a 3 yr 15 million to make this deal work. So what Proky paid off Danny Ainge too?
I remember when other teams owners, players and GMs were laughing at the Nets after Kidd was traded. Saying the Nets would never move to BK. Then after the Dwill trade people said oh the Nets lost that trade. (How is Utah doing again
)That's funny because the Nets gave up 3 lottery draft picks for Deron and Utah is still no better and yet people two weeks ago said giving up 3 first round picks that will be in 20's is too much.
Anyway when the Nets were the joke of the league teams were laughing hahahahaha.
The Nets were the second highest team last season over the cap. No flexibility or anything yet they have improved.
Teams over the salary cap aren't suppose to improve. according to the new CBA owners are suppose to be scared of the new luxury tax. Not the case here. The Nets were over the cap and improved their bench.
Proky transformed this team in 3 yrs. As long as he is the owner I'm good
Top 4 teams in the east are miami, brooklyn, cleveland, and indiana. all the others are irrelevant.
Cleveland? Who did they pick up besides Bynum?
For that first championship run it was Dirk, Howard, Harris and I think Diop that helped us get there. Second time around it was Chandler and Dirk but Dirk was still homegrown. Second run it was Chandler, Dirk and other pieces we traded for. I guess it did work out trading but shit I didn't like it and shit we all were saying how trash our squad was that year.
And guess how we got that Devin Harris draft pick......through a trade!
The NBA is a trading league not a free agent league
The big three in Miami got niggas confused
Of course it's good to build through the draft but if you are trying to win now you ain't about to do that, teams in win now mode barely even keep their draft picks unless it's the Spurs
Barring injuries/health IMO I'd put them In the top 5. Top 4 If D Rose can't go or Is not himself.
See, Proky is about to take over the NBA.
Sure, his team may not be championship caliber now...
...but, how do you beat a man that don't give a fuck about the cap in the long run?
Sooner or later, the right talent will be available, and he's going to give the LT/cap the middle finger, and put a fucking Dream Team on the floor.
NYC will be fucking buzzing, as if it needed any energy in the air.
I think I'm going to buy some Nets gear. I like this Russians style.
Kobe is my favorite player, but I'm officially a Nets fan! I already see where this is going, so it's best to get on the wagon now.

This I agree with...with the exception of buying Nets gear. The Nets owner has the right mentality but I have doubts about the product they have assembled THIS YEAR. Their future looks bright, however.
Nah, they aren't gettin' shit this year.
But, you don't think players see what Proky is about?
THAT'S the type of motherfucker you want to play for!
