I just posted this up to ha..

IMO, it's a great pickup. Outlaw has a chance to start for this young team.

[S-Dot]

Great signing. Athletic guy who could put up numbers if the playing time is given to him.

[ManRam]

I agree, great signing. The Nets are obviously going to miss out this free agency, but signing young athletic players like Outlaw is a good start. They still have a ton of talent, and even though they whiffed with the big names, I wouldn't be shocked to see them squeak into the playoffs.

I bet they wished they never traded Yi and CHR. This is a nice signing though.

7 mil per year?

[R_O_W_E]

They almost drafted Travis Outlaw with the #3 pick. Good thing they let Minnesota draft Outlaw at #4.

[Melo15]

I like this signing a lot, i'm a big Outlaw fan.

7 mil per year?

Yep. Thats the going rate for a 26 year old SF who shot under 40% from the field this season.

That is a boatload of cash for a guy who hasn't started a dozen games in his 7 year career. He'll bring defense I suppose but what we need is a superstar.

This.

It could've been worse.

Look on the bright side atleast you're not paying David Lee $15 Million per year.

1 less team for lebron.

Nothing is better than something when it comes to a contract like this.

[Trouble87]

horrible contract but I like the pick up

Nets are building a lil under the radar contender

[arkanian215]

I guess the other thing that bugs me about this is we have a Travis Outlaw type player. Damion James. Younger, cheaper, not as good but a SF who all around is decent but unspectacular.
