Official NJ Nets Watch

[BSUMONK77]

The Nets have joined that magical combo of Dwill and Kris Humphreys. (wait. Did they actually ever play together? whatever) The nostalgic memories of that one-two punch, the pick n roll, the feeds, the tip-ins.

Actually the only game I saw that Humphreys got in, he looked like he had no idea what team he was on. He passed so much to the other team, I thought he might have been color blind.

Someday, the league will fear Deron and Lopez.

But tonight Deron's sad and I'm mostly happy.

The pick is 6 as of now, and will likely go higher before going lower. Do you know who was taken 6th last year? Greg Monroe. Yah, the guy who single handed destroyed our front court and is only 20. Lift your head up.

Last year is not this year. This year's class is pretty weak. Doesnt matter if it is 6th or 8th pick. We will likely get yet another guy who will need 2-3 years to become a rotation regular at best. If you thought Gordon Hayward was a underwhelming pick, just wait. Unless the Jazz can fool a team into taking this pick in a trade for a stud SG, it is an absolute waste of time and money. The last thing we need is more picks, if we are really serious about contending shortly. Favors, Miles, Hayward, Fesenko-enough young guys. Al and Millsap are young too. We need an Affalo type SG at the very least to go forward.

I'm tellin you we could end up with a top 3 pick. Minny is only 3 games behind us and right now they would have the number 2 pick. Then you always have a chance with the lottery balls too

Lottery balls really mean everything. Nets losses mean a better chance at moving a couple of slots in addition to greater odds of winning the lottery. There's no reason to not hope for that.

Let's hope DWill's wife has the kid and he takes a game or two off. Up next is Toronto twice in a row followed by the mighty Warriors.

Werd.

Deron, you need the rest and your family needs you. Take the rest of the season off, you need it.

Plus given the worst case scenario of every team jumping the Jazz (yeah 2005 was fun) at least the final position isn't too bad. Although from what everyone keeps claiming this is like a 2 person draft. Still, even if the Nets were 3rd and fell to 6th there's a good chance Barnes could be there, and he wouldn't be bad at that spot. Although I wish there was some stud SG out there would could shoot. That seems to be a weakness, sigh...although speaking of which, I don't know if it's a great pick but the homer in me wouldn't mind seeing Burks from Colorado here.

Here's my order: Cleveland, Washington, Sacramento, Minnesota, NJ, Toronto.

Should move: Toronto can leapfrog NJ with Reggie Evans coming back. Can Beasley, Love, and Milicic ever figure out how to play together? That team should win a couple more games.

Could move: Sacramento has the pieces to win a few more, but that team is a mess from the Maloofs on down.

Going nowhere: Cleveland just lost Jamison. Washington is tanking on purpose. They trade off Hinrich for Bibby, then buy him out? The league should jump their asses.

It is all going to depend on how many of the freshman will come out. If they pretty much all do. The top 10 will certainly be very quality. You also have 3 intl players highly touted. Though they are all pretty much PFs which is the least of our need. Barnes has certainly been scoring more lately, but has taken a lot of shots (most missed) to get them.

on the other hand, Deron has already helped the Nets to three straight losses.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

on the other hand, Deron has already helped the Nets to three straight losses.

But they are playing much better, and he is getting more (18) assists. I would feel more comfortable if he just had wrist surgery, or took some time off to rest the wrist. I'm all for NJ losing out the rest of the way.
