I agree with x factor on the nets being a top 4 team. Cleveland I see improving drastically. The warriors will miss Jack. The Cavs have a solid back up when Irving goes down

When is the key word :lol:

Dude has to prove he can make it through a season relatively healthy

Then again Chris Paul is always bound to miss games as well just have to keep him a good backup

I wish we had a more solid backup for deron...livingston idk...I'm also concerned about deron + jj playing well consistently...I can only recall like 2-3 games where deron jj + brook all shot the ball well which makes us a tough team to beat...and finally if pierce/garnett can sustain themselves for a full year...sorry to go OT
 
KG missed 14 games last year

Pierce missed 5 and he is the main one Boston wanted to get rid of

I don't understand these "breaking down" predictions everyone is giving these dudes

Manage the minutes and they will be fine

Jason says he wants to run more and more uptempo.

Deron has lost a lot of weight. The Nets and Deron noticed that when he lost weight his play came up. So the Nets hired him a personal trainer. Dude looks slimmer

one of the keys to Deron game he was stronger than a lot of PGs. I know this will help him with his speed but i have to see what happens. Also Kidd said Iso ball is done. Look for a set offense.

The Nets paid out the ass for Kidd assistant coaches.

And the spending hasn't stopped. #Nets have hired FOUR new assistants, renewed another. Frank is highest paid NBA assistant, maybe EVER.

The guy running the offense is the guy who ran the offense in Denver for George Karl.

Which is why Evans and dray will be key. I see KG mins being under 30. What I can't wait to see is the different line up with the front courts.

The nets led the NBA with scoring from the center position with Dray and Lopez. I expect Garnett to add on with that.

Basically.

Especially since NY BBall (Knicks and Nets) fans always come out looking like asses at the end.

BULLS!!!!!
 
:lol:

how about you compare the 2012 and 2012-2013 golden state warriors.

the difference is that cleveland has better coaching. however it will be more difficult in the east which is the tougher conference.

Thank you!! Cats think you can change a losing team around in less than a season lol..it took LeBron three years before his Cavs team made the playoffs.

The Cavs have the pieces and potential to be scary good in a few years..but the Wizards and Pistons are further along than them.

Check what the homie Andre Drummond doing in SL. Pistons going to finish behind Bulls in the Central and challenge for one of last playoff seeds.

The Knicks had a good gm in MR. Thomas he was brining good talent here but as usual the short sighted press ran him out of town and forced the hand of MR. Dolan to hire the waste of time dantoni and Walsh. Do your research Walsh only good draft pick was reggie miller. The rest OK at best. Don't believe me look at the results no championships. The Knicks let go of z-bo, Crawford, and others that are big named now. OK Thomas can't coach true but he can draft, draw talent and handle egos just like billy king.

Isiah made 3 MAJOR mistakes with the Knicks....

The 1st mistake... He didn't BLOW THE TEAM UP and start all over when he first got there... :smh:

The 2nd mistake... He tried to play Father Flanigan and resurrect too many niggas' careers all at once... Eddie Curry... Jerome james... Quentin Richardson... :smh:

The last and BIGGEST mistake... HE TRUSTED STEPHON MARBURY... :smh:

Draft wise... Isiah was on point... but Cap wise... He sucked.

BUT... he wasn't the guy who RUINED our cap though... :smh:

Isiah got y'all Larry brown
Click to expand...

... And what did Larry Brown do...

He never had a solid rotation... If a player had a good game, he would take them out of the rotation... He begged Isiah for Steve Francis but once Isiah got him Francis, he wanted to get rid of Francis... AND... he tried to go over Isiah's head by going to Dolan... Not knowing that Zeke... is a MADE man in Dolan's Mafia... :lol:

Always remember... ZEKE IS THE LEADER OF THE HOOSIER 3... :yes:

BUT ON SOME REAL SHIT...

Larry Brown has ALWAYS BEEN A... WISHY WASHY BITCH...

Don't believe... Ask San Antonio fans... Ask Indy fans... ask Detroit fans... Ask UCLA fans... Kansas fans...

He always does the same shit... He'll win... BUT... then... it's the same ol' OH... I'm DONE COACHING... I'M BURNT OUT... I'm finished coaching'... Meanwhile, he's actually negotiating the NEXT deal... :smh:
 
Andrei Kirilenko defends decision

Andrei Kirilenko says he can't control any of the conspiracy theories about him signing with the Brooklyn Nets for less money.

Kirilenko opted out of the final year of his contract worth $10.2 million with the Minnesota Timberwolves this offseason in hopes of landing a multiyear deal elsewhere. But with his market dwindling, the Russian native wound up signing a two-year contract with the Nets for the taxpayer mini midlevel exception -- starting at $3.18 million. The deal includes a player option for the second year.

Given the $7 million disparity in annual salary, many rival executives reportedly wondered whether Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov brokered some sort of side deal with Kirilenko to make up the difference. Prokhorov owned CSKA Moscow when Kirilenko played there, and the two became close.

"As I said, those type of rumors, I can't control," Kirilenko said on a conference call with reporters Thursday. "I guess it comes from the history of Russia and the KGB. I don't know what that is, what it makes people think. It makes it a little funny, but if it looks funny in those situations, what can I do?"

Kirilenko said he chose to come to the Nets because he's 32 years old and it's "time to take a shot at a title."

"I think we've got everything you need to reach that goal. I'm very happy to be in New York, and I'm looking forward to start the season," he said.

Kirilenko explained his decision to opt out.

"I opted my deal not because I wanted to sign with the Nets," he said. "At that time I was feeling I wanted to be in Minnesota for a long time, but as you know they had some changes in Minnesota, and I'm very respectful for Flip Saunders, and I respect his decision, but he decided not to want to sign me for a long time. I can't do anything with that, and that opened up all my options. I started looking at other teams and comparing situations with other teams."

Kirilenko doesn't have any regrets about opting out, even though he lost a lot of money. He says several teams were interested in him, but the Nets were the best fit.

Kirilenko is glad to play for Prokhorov's team once again.

"When he got the team, I was very happy that finally a Russian owner has team in the NBA," Kirilenko said. "I think it's a great platform for the NBA people, scouts and media looking for the Russian players, if they have the material to be in the NBA."

Kirilenko is excited to re-unite with ex-Utah Jazz teammate Deron Williams.

"Coming back to play with Deron is great. I'm expecting a great time. We had a great time back in Utah. My wife, my kids are great friends with Deron's, so they're going to have a great time. We have great chemistry, so we can use that together."

Kirilenko, a versatile player who can guard and play multiple positions, said he was concerned about his role on the team at first, but coach Jason Kidd helped ease them.

"I think having eight or 10 people who can really play on the highest level and give those minutes between each other, it's a great privilege," he said. "Not a lot of teams have that kind of depth; usually you have two or three superstars making the max, and the rest of the guys are helping them. Here, you can really have about seven or eight guys who play on the highest level possible and start in any lineup in the NBA."

Asked about where the Nets stack up in the Eastern Conference, Kirilenko said, "I'm not worried about how we're going to compete against Miami, how we're going to compete against Indiana. I bet we're going to compete.

"It's going to be a lot with how we quickly we can find the chemistry inside the team -- not only in the locker room -- because I'm not worried about the locker room; we've got great guys. I'm worried about on the floor, how quickly can we start understanding each other. So far we have guys -- I played with Deron, I know what he's doing; Paul Pierce played with KG [Kevin Garnett], he knows what he's doing – but how quick we can connect with each other and how fast we can adjust."

Kirilenko says he's comfortable coming off the bench.

"I don't have problem to come off the bench," he said. "I never have an issue. In Utah, we always talked with Jerry Sloan about that. It's never been an issue, as long as you're playing 25 to 30 minutes a game."
