Official 2012 Offseason Thread - Brooklyn Nets

[NJ Raven]

Having Crash and AK47 is pretty redundent, but we gave up wayyyyy too much just to let Crash walk.

Can't see us affording Deron, Howard, and Eric Gordon... plus KG, AK, and Crash.

[Kidd>>>K-Mart]

So far I think we bring back Lopez first. Then Wallace shortly after. After him comes Deron, and this is where free agency gets exciting because we are legit suitors. Now it gets unpredictable, I think Humphries comes back with the same money but longer contract. Now we have the chance to add one more piece with Green. My guess is then the Nets explore a trade for Howard and see what happens. If that falls through, I'm going with a possible sign and trade with the Hornets for Gordon involving Marshon and future picks.

[NJ Raven]

What picks do we have to throw NOLA's way for EG?

[Oldmantrash]

I don't think Gerald Green can play 2.

He has no handle really.
He's strictly a 3, I kind of think he won't be with us next year.

Especially if we get. AK

He's strictly a 3

Not sure that is correct

[jaydee2327]

seriously yankee fan, have you ever heard of salary cap and that humphries wont come back here as a backup for less money?

[jaydee2327]

you really are going to send orlando that much for howard?

[Oldmantrash]

Not sure that is correct

It's debatable, but from what I saw last year, I think his game is much better fit at SF. I don't see him as a starter anyway, a great guy to come off the bench for scoring.

I don't think it's a slam dunk that he's back with us, it matters how much he wants, and how much other teams are willing to give him.

[jaydee2327]

green said he was willing to take a discount and be the first option so hopefully he is true to his word

[netsgiantsyanks]

honestly, the nets first priority is to try and surround d-will with decent pieces, and then try to entice d-will. but, knowing that billy king is in panic mode, they will probably give all their attention to d-will and let the other pieces they could get slip away. i hope to god that it doesn't happen, but i'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worse.

I agree that he is a much better fit at SF, but he has some handle, has the height and jumping advantage over most SGs, and at this point, seems quick enough to guard most opposing SGs if he really wants to.

And I agree with you that GG will not necessarily re-sign with the Nets. He has to be thinking about money at this time in his NBA career.

But, as always, it will all come out in the wash.

Guy has never had a chance for a big pay day before, can't blame him if he takes the best deal.If I was him, I would, you never know if he will have this chance again.

Once free agency starts, home town discount promises are forgotten.

[rurichie]

My lineup first game next year if we don't get our pick:
-I think we would trade Brooks for cap space tbh and sign either Gordon or Mayo(cheaper option) plus throw in Hump if we have the space

PG: D.Will/J.Farmar/A.Johnson
SG: OJ Mayo/A.Morrow
SF: G.Wallace/A.Kirilenko
PF: K.Garnett/J.Williams
C: B.Lopez/S.Williams

If we get #2 or #3 pick:
Trade Brooks,Lopez,Petro, 2012 & 2013 1st rounders

PG: D.Will/J.Kidd/A.Johnson
SG: A.Morrow/G.Green
SF: G.Wallace/A.Kirilenko
PF: K.Hump/J.Williams
C: D.Howard/S.Williams
