Official 2012 Offseason Thread - Brooklyn Nets

[jaydee2327]

hopefully deron signs here and we can still build a winner. His leadership needs major improvement and not to quit when things are bad or a bad turnover. farmar or dragic or whoever else to replace him is a downgrade. I would like to see him drive more and less forced turnovers with poor passing. I think he showed that 15 assists a game when lopez was healthy and a bad wrist. we need farmar back. gaines is atrocious and takes forced shots he misses and out of control decision making along with poor shooting. i wouldnt mind armon as third string.
brooks needs to stop passing good shots for bad shots , pumpfaking for worse shots by over faking and playing better defense. the guy needs to hit weight room. morrow needs to work on his overall offensive game and defense big time. im leaning toward bogans if healthy, stevenson plays alot older and out of shape all year and struggled offensively and moving. I like wallace and green back, both impressive. Hopefully humphries is back, needs defensive improvement but hustles every game and double doubles. jwill is more of a third string and needs development in d league and hopefully lopez gets back to being a man and not soft on defense and rebounding. we are stuck with petro next year. bring back shelden too

-Resign Deron, Green, S.Williams, and B.Lopez
-Farmar and Wallace pickup their options
-Sign KG!
-if enough left over sign K.Hump

*Totally different story if we get a top 3 pick(then we trade for Dwight)

I think it would be better if he opts out and we resign him for a lesser deal something like 3years 20million or something. We would have more capspace.

Depends on what happens at the draft lottery. If we get the #3 pick, we go ahead and trade it along with MarShon and Lopez for Dwight. Then we can get KG, re-sign Deron, Crash (smaller deal, let him opt out) sign Gerald Green and pick up Farmar's option

[D2theJ]

Sadly I think next year completely depends on us getting our pick back or not. If we get the pick I think we trade it for a star and Deron stays. If we lose it we likely end up with no 1st rounders, no good trade bait, and a lineup without Deron or another superstar to replace him.

It's Farmar's option, not the Nets.

[netsgiantsyanks]

this is all hypothetical.

-re-sign deron, lopez, green, hump, and lopez(i don't see him getting pursued too much by a surplus of teams due to his injury).
-have g force pick up his option.
-if we get the pick, keep it. if not, oh well.

if d-will jets:

re-sign green, lopez, hump, and hope that g-force opts in.
if we get the pick, keep it like before. if we don't, we're screwed.
pursue a pg(augustin, dragic, etc.)

[NJ Raven]

We need interior defense more than we need Deron Williams.

[netsgiantsyanks]

We need interior defense more than we need Deron Williams.

i definitely agree with this. shelden williams/johan petro isn't cutting it. even brook lopez is pretty meh at defense.

[NJ Raven]

Calling Lopez meh at defense is vastly overrating him.

[netsgiantsyanks]

pf's we should go after:

jeff green
jj hickson
jason thompson
marrese speights

[JayStar-8]

We need interior defense more than we need Deron Williams.

What do you think about Garnett, Odom or Illyasova?

[netsgiantsyanks]

Calling Lopez meh at defense is vastly overrating him.

i only say meh because he's capable of playing decent defense, he just doesn't try hard enough.

[JayStar-8]

marrese speights

I wanted to trade for JJ Hickson. What happened to him with the Kings?

[netsgiantsyanks]

What do you think about Garnett, Odom or Illyasova?

garnett: eh, i'd stay away
odom: **** no if he keeps his off court issues persists
llyasova: i don't see the bucks letting him go, but if so, yeah.
