Nets look like the worst team in the league. Their offense is horrible and you can tell Dwill is really frustrated.


Dwill hates to lose but the Nets will be doing a lot of that this year.

I bet he really misses the structure of the Jazz offense.
 
Nets started out really slow, but they had a nice little run to end the half. Way too early to tell how bad they are so calm down, guy.
 
This Memo trade was all part of a master plan to clear cap space to go after Deron next summer and sign him to a max deal. Right Kevin?

Wouldn't work. We won't have the cap space by a long margin. But the Nets are going to have an impossible time signing him to an extension if they can't figure out a way to get Dwight.
 
Deron is going to Dallas, he will have Dirk, be at home, and be on a team that can compete for a championship.

I guess the jazz will just have to amnesty Devin Harris then.

Not sure if that's enough, but it's interesting to think the Jazz could amnesty Jefferson to get Deron back. Problem with reacquiring Deron is signing guys going forward. You'd have to KNOW Favors was going to be a star. Can't imagine we'll be solid enough that a fantastical idea like getting Deron back would even become more realistic.
 
Trying to make judgement on teams after one period of play is moronic. The Nets played good defense and rebounded the ball. DW had 23 pts. 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Considering how bad the Nets started those are nice stats. Humphries (the guy who many Jazz fans called a BUST) had 21 pts. and 16 rebounds. They also have Morrow who can shoot. I don't think the Nets are the worse team in the league but losing Lopez certainly didn't help them.

I think they will be a grind it team. I agree if they can't get Dwight or some other big free agents then the possibility of DW leaving increases. Okur looked like he can't play anymore. The game is too fast for him but again it was only one game so I will keep my mind open for awhile until I proclaim him done. :D
 
Lets see if the Nets have Slow start issues this season. If so I would argue part of the issue is Deron Williams.

Good points. I don't think it's a realistic possibility he would even consider coming back - I think his ego precludes such a move.

Dallas is not gonna be a contender anymore, including this year. Nowitzki made his peak last year, there is no way in the hell he is gonna come close to that performance again

I don't want Deron back because rarely if ever has a max PG led a team to a title.

See Fisher (definitely not max player), Rondo (was still a rookie contract), Parker (at about $10 million at the time), Chauncey Billups (MVP, but making about $5.5 million at the time).

Jason Kidd was an exception, but Cuban had to overpay (via trade) to get him, and Kidd was a crucial piece, not a cornerstone.

Why?

Because max contracts should be reserved for legit shooters and bigs.

And as good a shooter as Deron is, he doesn't quite fit the bill.

The Clippers are already a flawed team financially by having CP3 (although they maybe have a chance while Griffin is on his rookie contract).

And unless Hayward or Miles or even Burks figure it out, Utah needs a legit shooter more than a point guard. I would like to see Burks develop into a combo.
