I'm knicks gaf for a long time.


Kyrie is a star in the making. Intelligent and charismatic. He would be good for the league.

He's our gem.

 

[Branduil]

What the heck at that Garnett contract. Is Ainge high?

 

[ph33nix]

The Nets are trying to trade for Iso Joe, lmfao, Billy King is the worst GM ever.

I think they would be thrilled to be the Brooklyn Hawks

 

[darkside31337]

What the heck at that Garnett contract. Is Ainge high?

The way he played this year he will earn all of that salary in the next 2 seasons.

It's only considered an overpay because hes 36 years old. He means a ton to the Celtics both on and off the court. Yeah theres one year too many on that contract but who gives a shit.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I think they would be thrilled to be the Brooklyn Hawks

But Joe is already fading dramatically and he's going to be nothing in two years.

 

[aznpxdd]

Wow if Ferry could get rid of Joe's contract...

He won't earn all of that pay.

He can't play the 5 for a full 82 game season.

That money needed to be spent getting a supporting cast for them.

IF they could have that is, i don't know what their cap room was.

But they're done and will regret that contract.

 

[Emwitus]

Okay, I'm confused. Why did MN refuse the trade offer for beasely from the lakers if they expected to let him go? Hate?

 

[friskykillface]

Lol but B^) KG time for 3 more years


Get dat Beasley Ainge, don't give Ray any money

 

[benjipwns]

Okay, I'm confused. Why did MN refuse the trade offer for beasely from the lakers if they expected to let him go? Hate?

Which trade? If it was after the season ended Minnesota can't trade Beasley because he's a FA to be.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Okay, I'm confused. Why did MN refuse the trade offer for beasely from the lakers if they expected to let him go? Hate?

Didn't the Lakers try to unload Blake on someone in that trade? I want to say on The Blazers.

They weren't having that.

 

[SamuraiX-]

If Danny Ferry can trade Joe Johnson's contract, he should get GM of the Year.

The Nets are trying to trade for Iso Joe, lmfao, Billy King is the worst GM ever.

Danny ferry already trying to ship joe johnson to the nyets fuck yeah!

Damn beaten

You really should give Ferry GM of the Year already just for keeping the Nets from hanging up the phone on any deal with the name "Joe Johnson" in it.

D-Will confirmed that he'll meet with Nets & Mavs Monday. He said he's leaning toward 1 of the teams but wouldn't say which one.

I just spoke with @DeronWilliams by telephone. He denied reports that he and Jason Kidd have decided to play for the same team.

[Emwitus]

Right before the trade deadline this previous season. Looks like MorisUkunRasik is right, they might have been trying to unload blake too. Maybe that's why.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Holy shit. The Nets have $38.7 million in free cap space?

smfh if all that is wasted on The 120 Million Dollar Man and Deron still leaves.

 

[RBH]

Brooklyn and Atlanta are engaged in talks on a possible Joe Johnson trade, sources tell Y! Nets plan would be to pair with Deron Williams.

[Glorified G]

And what's the alternative? another half assed tanking job to pick a guy like Ross? Or some unknown European? At least it won't be painful and pointless to watch games.

How about Colangelo doing a proper tank job and go for the best talent available like Drummond? And it's going to be painful again in 2 years when Nash is 40 and retires or hops onto a contender.

 

[benjipwns]

Holy shit. The Nets have $38.7 million in free cap space?

They could be even lower than that. Technically only two players are required to come back if they aren't traded: Marshon Brooks and Jordan Williams.

They have Deron, Wallace, Humphries, Farmar, Stevenson all expiring/opted-out and Lopez up for QO as well.

 

[Red Blaster]

A JoeyJoJo trade would likely have to invovle a S&T'd Brook Lopez

both teams lost hard my man

If Atlanta decides that they're just blowing it up, they don't have to take any contracts back as Brooklyn can just absorb his contract straight up.

Then the Hawks would be a really good spot next summer, with Horford and Williams being the only guys on the books.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

They wanted us to take Fish

Taylor is too cheap to take on any salary

 

[Ninja Scooter]

a team built around Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace? They can use the rest of their cap space to build a time machine and travel back to 2007 where they'd be a 5 seed.

 

[darkside31337]

They aren't going to trade for him unless Deron is staying.

 

[DCX]

Knicks-GAF breaks down into 3 groups, I'm going to have to see the Team jpeg to see exactly who is who:

Originals: Guys posting since Isiah Days
Post-Amare: Guys who started posting after Knicks signed STAT
Post-Carmelo Trade: Guys who started posting after Knicks traded for Carmelo/Billups

You also have a subfaction called the Denver Knicks, but I don't want to waste time talking about those bastard fans.

Sounds about right. I'll let you place me, but i'm pretty sure i know where i will end up.

[Ninja Scooter]

even with Deron that's a marginal team.

 

[Dominican Power]

even with Deron that's a marginal team.

It's The Eastern Conference.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I don't know if you've noticed, but the Nets are really, really dumb.

I'm so disappointed Prokhorov's real-life evil mastermind skills haven't translated to the NBA. He's like a front office Duke player.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

They aren't going to trade for him unless Deron is staying.

Good for them, that's one less situation for Howard. If the Nets are no longer in the hunt it's basically sign long term with the Magic, or the Magic take a Rockets deal or LA deal. He's not gonna take less money at the end of the season to go to Dallas with only Dirk.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's The Eastern Conference.

Joe Johnson sucks and Gerald Wallace is in decline. If they are your 2nd and 3rd best players you are a 5th seed at best. In the East. That's pretty fucking sad.

[Dominican Power]

@MySportsLegion
As or source tells me, Nets would send Jordan Farmar, Johan Petro & a sign and trade w/either Humphries or Wallace (both FA's) for Johnson.

.

 

[DY_nasty]

Gerald Wallace and Josh Smith on the same team

some things should just never happen

 

[SamuraiX-]

.

You take that shit all day, every day if you're Atlanta.

It's like having an extra free amnesty clause.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'd do Bynum for Josh Smith and Teague. Do it Hawks. You know you want it.

 

[RBH]

.

I'd do that in a heartbeat.

 

[Sanjuro]

What the heck at that Garnett contract. Is Ainge high?

What's wrong with the contract?

 

[darkside31337]

even with Deron that's a marginal team.

I agree its stupid as shit theres just no way they would trade for Joe Johnson unless Deron gave his blessing and agreed to stay.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Wow if Ferry could get rid of Joe's contract...

He would clinch the Executive of the Forever award for sure.

 

[giga]

Gerald Wallace and Josh Smith on the same team

I don't care what happens as long as we get to shed 126 million US dollars. /kaz

Can the Nets even tank? They keep giving away draft picks...

I want to gif the way your avatar is staring at this.

Dude, you don't even have to ask; you KNOW where you are.

If the Nets do that deal Prokorhov and whatever idiot is GM for the Nets are the worst Owner/GM combo in the NBA. For all the shit the Knicks get I'm stupefied how the Nets have escaped ridicule on GAF the last 3 years. The horrible record, signing Travis Outlaw, the terrible drafts (before last year)... all that was before the Blueprint For Greatness volley at the Knicks.

Have the Lakers signed a PG yet?

Lakers keep signing them

According to Broussard, Dwight officially met with Orlando and told them he wants to be traded to Brooklyn.

Only because they had a legitimate shot at landing Dwight Howard. If that happens then it all paid off. But they're taking their lumps over the dumb Wallace trade, and if Deron walks then they'll enter NY as a laughing stock.

A laughing stock that will sell out every game in their new building, but the people there will totally be chuckling at them.

Apparently Prokhorov is not one to be chuckled at.

126Million.

Then the Hawks would be a really good spot next summer, with Horford and Williams being the only guys on the books.

Good spot is only relative where they currently are. And apparently they're even willing to trade Horford too. Who ever got Horford could be in a really good spot, as long as they don't put him at the 5. (Would be good along side Dwight.)

Why limit your self to just 1/3 of the league. Go for a full half atleast.
