~--~Official 2012 NBA Draft/Offseason Thread~--~

http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/sto...ooklyn-nets-agree-brook-lopez-60-million-deal

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to terms with restricted free agent center Brook Lopez on a four-year, $60 million max contract, a league source confirmed to ESPN NewYork.com.

This effectively ends Brooklyn's pursuit of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, since Lopez can't be traded until Jan. 15 once he signs the contract, per rules of the collective bargaining agreement.

Nets general manager Billy King was in Los Angeles negotiating with Lopez's agent, Arn Tellem, on Wednesday.

Lopez, 24, played just five games last season because of foot and ankle injuries. He owns career averages of 17.4 points and 7.5 rebounds in 251 career contests over five seasons -- all with the Nets.

They'll be a playoff team, 6-7 seed. For good teams they'll be easy to score on inside the paint, but they'll blow bad teams out.

And they get to keep Marshawn... they should also keep Hump too

Williams
Johnson
Wallace
Hump
Lopez

Thats a legit 5 right there....

Marshawn off the pine in the 6th spot
 
LA getting Dwight.

If they don't, he an ol', non-condom wearing, bitch-ass, hypocrite Christian, stupid Buck.

If he does, niggas need to lay off dude. It's a lot of pressure being one of the most coveted FA's of all times.
 
?

shouldnt u be worried bout how ur bulls went from contenders to pretty much rebuilding in one season?

You'd be rebuilding too if Melo tore his Achilles. Your super fandom is good entertainment. Honestly I'm not mad at what you do. You are the ultimate fan..
 
Not sure if it's reported in this thread but:

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine

New free-agent development: G Jerryd Bayless has reached an agreement to sign with Memphis. Deal on course to be finalized later Wednesday.

And I believe we're trying to sign Bill Walker as well.

So as of now..

Conley/Bayless/Pargo :( /Selby/Wroten
Allen/Bayless/Pondexter/Wroten
Gay/Cunningham/Pondexter
Z-Bo/D. Arthur/Speights
Gasol/Speights

We're losing Mayo but I REALLY like that Bayless pick up. That nigga killed us last March. :lol: All we need is another cheap shooter to open shit up and we're ready to roll.
 
So Lin ain't coming back??
:confused::confused:

Lin's coming back... knicks had 5 roster spots open... this dude is the 3rd string... b/c of shump's injury Lin may play sg sometimes... need another legit PG... mentioned him & kidd b/c they both pass very well and that should be fun...
 
So we gonna act like there wasn't an entire thread that had Dwight in a Nets jersey and as the 2nd seed in the East...so that didn't happen, huh?

knicks haters/knicks traitors will. They'll also ignore that the nets post defense is swiss cheese and a bulk of the scoring now must come from dwill and iso joe

cmon you breathed a sigh of relief that they didnt get the big dummy :lol:

At any rate I am on record saying that the Knicks will improve this year and should be a >50 win team this season.

You have a full training camp, full season, fulltime coach, PG rotation settled.

Most of the band is back from last season.

Plus the motivation of another squad just across the bridge looking to take your shine
 
Lin was like 6th in steals before he got hurt, Kidd is a great defender, camby also an excellent defender, Tyson, shump... Melo is a good man defender, Jeffries, good defender, white, good defender, jr is a good defender... The Knicks rnt a team of scores.

They finished 5th in defense too...


Don't gotta lie now that ur a nets fan.

Even though I'm a nets fan now, I still hope the Knicks do well.

We'll see how they do with a full training camp

Jerald bayless is great pickup for 3 million he should be making at least 8 million......Why didnt teams up on him he was a free agent???
 
Knicks need to pick up either OJ Mayo or Dahntay Jones to solidify that SG spot til Shump returns

Yo, did the Pacers really just trade a legit starting PG (Darren Collison) and a quality backup guard (Dahntay Jones) for freaking Ian Mahinmi? AND they are gonna pay that guy $4 million per?

Collison had the highest PER on that Pacers squad by far in the playoffs.

why do you think Larry Bird left. He built a great team and ownership told them him they were going to break it apart. Sucks too since I know the knicks were trying to deal for Dahntay jones. Also idk what OJ Mayo is doing but its weird you haven't heard about any teams bring him in.
 
Collison is a legit starting PG :confused: Did you see him play? George Hill took his starting spot, and then they overpaid him :smh: THAT was there fuck up, oh, and giving Hibbert max money. Should have tried to get Kaman for a lot less.

Bayless can be a good player.

I wonder where Mayo will go.
 
Why would the Knicks want Mayo with JR Smith on the team?

Snickers fans don't believe in team chemistry :smh: This isn't NBA2K

Of course I saw him play. Dude started 50 of the 62 games this season and his stats are in fact slightly better than Hill's in basically every category.

And in the playoffs, dude had a 23 PER...highest on the team.
