Time to root against the Nets(more than usual) ala the NYK Watch Thread last year.

Hey maybe the Jazz can turn DWill into Gordan Hayward II
 
I'm predicting right now - DWill's wrist injury will get a lot worse once he gets off the plane in Newark, NJ.

I bet he misses about a dozen games.
 
Deron and Avery Johnson. I wish I had league pass just to watch this. If Deron would listen to Avery and learn to play defense, he could be the best pg in the nba. If he tries to tell Avery how to defend the pick and roll--MELT DOWN.

There you go.
 
I wonder how long before DWill plays for Nets? His wrist is still injured, and his wife is pregnant & due in two weeks.

Nets don't play till Friday at San Antonio, then Sat in Houston. The NJ fans will get to watch Nash abuse Dwill on Monday.

NJ's schedule is not super difficult to close out the season. at Toronto twice, Toronto at home, Golden State (Dwill owns Monta Ellis), at Washington, at Detroit at clevland and Philly and Minny come to town.

They also play Miami, Spurs, Bulls (twice), Boston, Knicks (twice), Orlando and Atl all of which should be losses.

Williams to Lopez is nice. But shut that down and he has to rely on Morrow or Wright? I'm thinking the Nets will only be slightly improved the rest of the season. Perhaps 30 wins at most (that would require .500 ball), more likely in the range of 25-27. NJ is definitely taking a risk that they'll be able to lure a superstar and Deron will re-up. Jazz should land somewhere in the 6-10 range in terms of a lottery pick. Is the 6 and 14 good enough to trade up to top-3? Would it be worth it for a player like Perry Jones?
 
Here is a break down of the Nets remaining schedule.

Home games: 13
Away games: 12

vs over .500: 10
vs under .500: 15

back-to-back games: 8

That should be enough depending on team needs and players available. When Deron was drafted it took #6, #27 and a future (turned out to be a #30 the next year) to get the Jazz to #3. #14 should be more valuable than the #27 and a future pick, so it's possible they could move even higher.

Plus someday doesn't the law of averages have to work in the Jazz favor? They dropped 2 spots in 2005, so don't the basketball gods still owe them some lottery success?

haha Did you see there starting line up?

It appears Deron will start alongside Sasha Vujacic, Damion James, Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez in Nets debut. That's tough.

ha ha. Here comes the Number 1 Pick aka Irving!!!!

His name is Terrence Jones, 6'8" SF for Kentucky. Used to be a PG in HS before growing six inches. Personally, I'd be very happy if the Jazz end up with him. There don't seem to be a lot of good SG's at the top of the draft, but SF looks like a deep positon - and that is something we need.

I say try to re-sgn AK for 2-3 years until Hayward and the new guy develop. Then perhaps you trade some combination of our later lottery pick (provided the Jazz miss the playoffs) and/or the GS pick and/or Miles or Bell for a starting SG. I know I'll get some hate from CJ-lovers, but he just ain't the answer - 40% FG's doesn't cut it. We need quality, not quantity. Then again, if you have a strong offensive rebounder like Favors, a CJ airball might be as good as an entry pass from a PG.

Nets lose to Spurs! 24 more to go. Deron with a poor shooting night. I'll root for him after this season though.
 
Just saw that the Knicks lost to the Cavs. bwhahahaha. Good night for NYC area basketball. Man, I hope the Nets keep losing for the Jazz' sake and the Knicks keep losing for sanity's sake.
 
SAN ANTONIO (AP)—All-Star Deron Williams(notes) had 14 points and 12 assists in his debut with the New Jersey Nets, but Manu Ginobili(notes) scored 26 to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 106-96 victory Friday night.

Williams, dealt by the Utah Jazz on Wednesday in an unexpected blockbuster deal before the trade deadline, was 5 for 13 and played 41 minutes. He also helped the lowly Nets keep it interesting against the NBA’s best team.

Loss for D Will but he had an ok game. 5 for 13 is not great, but about where he had been the past month or so with us.
