Nets fire-sale

[DJ Fieri]

Marc Stein reported an hour ago the Nets have made Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson available via trade.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

No one cares, bro.

 

[purguy12]

If im the lakers or Knicks I go all in on D Williams.

 

[purguy12]

If Im Cleveland I try and get Lopez.


The bulls go after Joe Johnson and trade Dunleavy, 1st rd pick and Hinrich. Nets get 2 expiring contracts and a 1st rd pick.


starting lineup
Rose
Johnson
Butler
Gasol
Noah


That would be nice. Brooks becomes your back up PG and Butler can still play the 2 for like 10-12 mins a game. Johnson then gives insurance in case Butler leaves next year.

 

[purguy12]

or what about this crazy trade for the Bulls.


Rose, 1st rd pick and McBuckets


for


D Williams and Johnson

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

All 3 of them are making too much $$. Johnson is getting up there age wise....Lopez & DWill are injury prone.

Pass.

I thought the same thing. Him or Lopez, since the Lakers could use a big too.

Yeah, the injuries would be a red flag. But if you could get them in a deal similar to Lin, where the Nets are paying a chunk of their salary, it might be worth a look.

 

[logic]

I'll send Smith and Jennings for Williams.

Pfft. Jordan Hill, Jeremy Lin, Nash's expiring contract and a copy of the Playboy that Jeanie Buss appeared in for Lopez and Williams.

I'm pretty sure the Lakers are paying all of Lin's salary. I don't think basketball works like baseball where teams can eat salary in order to trade high priced players.

I would stay away from all three. They are either injury-prone or expensive players past their primes. The Lakers don't need anymore of those types of contracts.

I care. This is music to mine and Danny's ears

I guess if you are thinking about the 2016 first rounder the Nets owe Boston. They don't get the Nets 2015 first rounder.

Boston will lose one of their three 2015 first rounders. One of them will certainly go back to Philly. It's top-14 protected.

Pretty sure that with either Boozer or Lin, the Bulls or Rockets are paying part of their salary. Could be wrong, but I remember that part of what made it a good deal was the Lakers not having to pay the full salary.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I agree. I think the Lakers will make a play for Williams or maybe even Joe Johnson if they can't get Williams.

Lin and Hill gives the Nets salary cap space.

Not enough salary going to Brooklyn to trade for Johnson, he makes a shit ton.

The Rockets are paying part of his salary, the Lakers are only paying around 8 million.

Correct on Boozer. Lakers are only paying roughly $3mil of whatever large salary he was owed.

The good thing about the Lin deal was getting the first rounder from the Rockets, plus the contract is expiring. However, the Lakers have to pay the full amount of the large salary he is owed.

Okay, I knew it was one of them, just got them mixed up.

They look a lot alike.

Alike as in bench players
