I don't care about being a low seed in the playoffs, I care about winning a championship...Boston and Detriot are by far the best teams in the east, while Toronto, Atlanta and Philadelphia are built with a young core that will get better over time...it's not a complete rebuild for us but it is partial.

Lebron James is 23 years old. Dwight Howard is 22. It ain't just Atlanta and Philly with young teams. The East could get competitive again and quickly. Thorn has a lot of work to do. The Nets got younger in the trade and will get younger still this off season, with Armstrong and Van Horn departing the roster and as many as three rookies joining it.

This is the most critical off-season since 2001.

I can't see the Nets carrying three rookies plus "advanced rookies" Sean Williams and Mo Ager. In addition, the only second-rounder in the past ten years or so to do ANYTHING was Scalabrine, who was a very early second-round pick. Not a great record.

Boone, Marcus, Sean, Ager and 3 rookies would be a lot of youth on one roster.
 
I can't see us taking Jordan with Sean on the team; not because I think they're clones of one another, but because I can't see the team putting up with two athletes who are trying to become basketball players.

I mean as talented as Sean is there was talks of management getting frustrated with his lack of experience. Why would they want two of those?

IMO they wont draft Jordan if we keep sean.. but if we plan to use him in a trade, then i can see them taking deandre because he is bigger and a bit more polished than sean. But personally i would keep sean and draft someone else.

Jordan is not more polished than Sean; neither are refined.

I watched a few Texas a&m games this year and he looked darn good. The only thing that i didnt get was that he kept disappearing from the game.. i mean for 5 minutes hed be the best on the court, and then you woulnd hear his name for another 10. Thats my only concern with him.. can he be consistant?And at least he doesnt look like hes about to fall apart everytime he runs

But IMO he is more talented and athletic than Sean therefore a better player. But i still like AREA 51 alot. Its a tough call. Good thing im not the one to make it haha

He is so raw offensively he makes Josh Boone look like Shaq.
btw does anyone else think Patrick O'Bryant when they look at DeAndre Jordan? I do.
 
I really hope it's not Westbrook. I live in LA and watched a lot of his games. Very average player. He's not a shooting guard or a point, so what is he? A tweener. Tweeners don't last in the NBA. Definitely not worth a 1st round pick. Plus, who was the last really good NBA player UCLA produced other than Farmar, who's a role player at this point. Most of their players are overhyped and under produce in the NBA. Remember Ed O'bannon?
 
Jordan should be much better than Patrick O'Bryant. I don't really even see that much of a comparison between the two except they're both centers.
 
Joe Alexander would be a solid, safe pick. He's tough, plays hard, can shoot and rebound and is athletic. If they lose Boki, he could do a lot of things Boki did and probably play better D.
 
I hope CDR moves up in the draft, otherwise I see us taking Budinger to replace Boki.

Ok““ Westbrook's not a pure point guard, more of a combo, so your point is...? Marcus Banks has NOTHING to do with Westbrook.

Westbrook is a 6-3 combo guard that can't run the point and doesn't shoot well. At best, he is an off the bench defensive specialist.

Marcus Banks was a better pro prospect.

I still don't know why you are bringing up Marcus Banks. Banks was a lottery pick, he was a better pro prospect than a lot of players, so what's your point?
 
Nice try, but Monta was a dominating scorer in HS.

The question was, did you like Marcus Banks before the draft as well? You keep trying to make it some direct comparison instead of answering the question.

I fully admit to not be an expert on this, but 10 seems a little early to be taking him, and he will probably be gone by 21. Or am I wrong on this?

You are the one trying to make a direct comparison to Marcus Banks, which is ridiculous. Banks was a lottery pick who busted, so what?

Wesbtrook is not Marcus Banks. They are two different players.

Yeah, 10 would be a reach for Joe A, but he seems to get "it" a little more than Budinger. Budinger kind of floats through games, but Alexander is a guy who pretty much carried that West Virginia team, and has a fire that the Nets need. I'd be okay if they wound up with either guy, but I like Alexander more.

To the poster who's comparing Westbrook to Monta Ellis, you are dreaming. Monta Ellis would have dominated on the college level, while Westbrook didn't do anything out of the ordinary at UCLA other than show some flashes. Ellis is much quicker, smoother and more athletic than Westbrook.

Ok, so I say I wasn't a Marcus Banks fan, and you say he's better than Westbrook, yada yada, correct?

Nice point.

Nope, then I'd ask you another question
 
"How is Westbrook a better prospect than Marcus Banks?" which leads to how bad Marcus Banks sucks, and how bad Westbrook sucks, so basically


Marcus Banks blows.

Marcus Banks is better than Russell Westrbook.

Therefore, Russell Westbrook really blows.

Cool.
