and that's a SEVERE knee-jerk reaction.</div>


Lol ok haha.. i have mixed feelings right now.. i dont want them to tank it.. but lets look at it realistically we are 26-35 , and we are losing to bad teams,, so what good does it do to make the playoffs and then get swept? wouldnt u rather get a good pick maybe 5-10 pick instead of a 15-20 and get a good young player... and not another a wright? or nenad krstic? come on man this season is lost.. we gotta look ahead..
like they say we lost a fight but not the war my friend!
if we play our cards right in the off season we can become contenders next season again!
But is very important that we have a new coach, either trade carter or rj, or maybe both wouldnt be bad. Krstic boki amrstrong boone they all got to go. and just look ahead and see where it all goes.. maybe we can land an elton brand in the off season? maybe we can land KING JAMES in 2010! .. And thats why we need to look ahead and do whatever leaves us in a flexible position to make good moves in the future. this season is over for the nets, they should just let the youngters play most of the minutes
</div>

Wow, how dumb are you? You want to get rid of young talent and try and risk it on a player who has been a cancer in LA, and one that is coming off surgery, where he is not 100%?

Do me a favor go back to family guy, your role there is perfect.

And we anit going to just give up.
</div>
Not saying I'm one to want Brand, but how in the hell can you say he is a cancer? The only negative impact he has had while on the Clippers was get injured and have that surgery. Being a cancer to a team means a player causes many problems to the team such as off court misbehavior, complaining which might cause harm to team chemistry, lack of effort on the court, etc.
</div>


Maybe it's not brand but i know there was some clipper that was a major cancer out there. If it is not him, then I stand corrected. However I anit going to give up the future for a player that is often hurt. The poster who posted that i guess has no idea of basketball, and would rather risk everything and get nothing.

It's Maggette. He's the team cancer on the LA Clippers. And...I guess Tim Thomas can be considered a cancer.

Well you don't seem so bright yourself right now. Next time you accuse a player of being something, check your facts. Brand is a superb team player.

Anyway, I don't think we should put all of our eggs in the LeBron basket, since the chances of him leaving Cleveland are slim anyway. Brand is a top 5 PF when he's 100%, but I don't think he ever will be again. He's a good addition to a team that wants to compete for the championship, but getting him AFTER trading RJ and VC won't get us anywhere. We need to hope that Dallas makes the playoffs, draft well and keep our options open. Who knows, maybe we'll have a chance to trade some young talent for a superstar like Boston did.

As for the tanking, it's just wrong and unsportsmanlike. Disgusting.

While Brand isn't a team cancer (THAT WAS AN INCREDIBLY DUMB STATEMENT JOSH_BOONE) he would be a high risk player...the reality is that he is undersized at 6'8, old at 29 years old (considering he's gonna want a long term deal) and is coming off an injury (achilles tear) that is very difficult to come back from. To me the risk isn't worth it considering how far away we are from being a championship contender. Pass.
 
Exactly my point. As I said, he has no place in a rebuilding process.

In the future it'd be swell if you could keep your mouth shut if you know you have no clue what you're talking about, instead of insulting other members while making yourself look like the writer of The Three Musketeers.

I AM ****ing HYPED MAN


Plus I am having a Panic attack too and dont know what to do.
 
What do u mean u dont want to trade your future for a cancer? WHAT FUTURE ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT?!
Josh Boone? Please dont get me started
Nenad? Are You Serious? Be Real.
Harris? he is a player that comes off the bench and provides enrgy and good minutes. He is not a starting pg in this lg. I dont care what anyone says. he plays like sg, yet he is undersized
Diop? He can defend a little off the bench thats about it.
M Williams.. Well i think hes ok and he could be an asset
Swat is a very good asset and has a loads of talentsm but he needs to develop and bulk up
Boki.. ? if he is in our future then we are done

And Elton Brand is considered one of the most professional players in da league, and in case u dont remember, he was mentioned in the mvp race a few years ago, so i dont think that would be a bad investment , he is only 29, he is someone you would want to lead your team with youngesters, not vince carter or Jefferson.

And thanks for insulting me, that was real mature.
I was just posting my opinion and what i thought, that makes me think twice about posting here again.
 
^ Oh please, you know jack shit about basketball.

Brand is hurt, is costly and may put a end to any hope of the king coming to Crooklyn.

It's not going to happen. Now I know you want to attack Boone, well guess what #'s and stats wise say you are a dofus.

Go back to your hole in the wall job as a fake GM on NBA Live, now get lost.
 
You just don't need to tank, even you have the number one pick in the draft day, and you get Beasley, don't forget your coach is Lawrence, and he would never play that player well.

If it's worth anything to you, I think you have made a lot of good points.

I would take Brand in a heartbeat and consider him a less risky and much wiser investment than either Carter or RJ.

NBADraft.net has us picking him up with the Mavs pick. I wouldn't mind we pick up a big with Dallas pick as long as we get an guard with the lottery pick.</div>
Reminds me of Sean Williams. We need a center rather than a PF IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised if we took another Krstic type player a put him in Europe.
 
How do you even tank with Devin Harris, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson in the lineup. Well I guess we're seeing it now. Either that or Frank is a total turd.

This is the Eastern Conference for crying out loud. This team (on paper) SHOULD be in 4th place right now.

This team (on paper, or off) is definitely not even close to as good as the Spurs, the Spurs
, the Hornets, and the Mavericks. I don't even know what to say about Memphis, though.
