Bummer, can't win them all. Still we can some nice talent to build around with Aldridge. Excited about that. Plus if we want we can move up and get a player that the Blazers may just fall in love with. We are in a great position IMO.

We're gettig screwed already! :MARIS61:

It's funny - they always talk about how teams that intentionally tank, always end up with the short straw. NJ obviously tanked that final game, and Sacto put forth the effort to win. So Sacto and NJ end up tied, but in the end, NJ mailed it in, so they "lose" the toss.

losing the toss changes things for the blazers, but it changes almost nothing for NJ. they only lost 1 combination out of 1000, so their odds of keeping the pick are effectively the same.

if sac goes on to win a top 3 and NJ doesn't THEN you can cite karma, but it doesn't really work at this point :cheers:
 
We may have to trade up a spot or two from both spots but Beal and Marshall are within reach!

No, I know. It was more sarcasm - I was taking trying to be all dramatic and channeling my inner-mixum.
 
When the trade occured some suggested NJ may end up making the playoffs in the east. (With Deron coming back from his injury and the addition of Wallace) Or at least come close. I am happy with #6. If we end up with it.
 
As good as Deron is, he's nowhere near the talent that Chris Paul has been. The Nets are fucking terrible with supposedly one of the best point guards in the country, yet the Hornets were never very talented and Paul had them playing to the utmost of their potential. I'd still take Deron if he's available, but the guy doesn't seem to make everyone around him better.
 
Looks like Gerald is going to opt out, the Nets might have traded their top ten pick for 15 or so games of broken down Gerald

Gerald Wallace says he'll test free agency. He has a one year player option worth 9.5 million with incentives

There's no way Deron stays on that team. I almost hope we don't get the pick this year. It might be even better next season.
 
All this means is that, barring a NJ miracle, POR will likely be picking 6th or 7th....

If they lose Deron and Wallace they will be horrible. But it still is top 2 protected.
 
Yeah, top 3 next year could give a very good player (likely better than 3 this year). But, of course there are many scenarios where we could be well below #3 or NJ could get top two.
 
I found these on the Nets realgm board, obviously doesn't guarantee he's actually going back to the Nets, but it is better than going to the Mavs if he doesn't come here

Bondy: Important quote from D-Will: "Is there really a perfect situation out there?" Answer: No, not with enough cap space to sign a max player.

"It'd be great to be a part of that 1st game, that 1st team there & have a legacy." --@DeronWilliams on BK & @barclayscenter #netswrapup

Asked what he needs in a team to sign, @DeronWilliams prioritizes winning, "somewhere that's headed in the right direction."

"Deron Williams said with a smile that he went into the Nets locker room in Barclays Center and picked out his new locker."

Sounds like a whole lot of nothing. LeBron said all the right things too. Just have to see what happens.
 
Funny that G-Dub is testing free agency. I really felt like he would have opted-in, if he had stayed here. Tells you about his time in NJ.

Of course, we never know about the "behind-the-scenes" things, secret handshakes, and winks. For all we know, their owner told Gerald they want him back, but they want the cap flexibility first, and that they'll make it worth his while and re-sign him to a longer deal if he opts-out. It's risky, because if NJ were to back out of their end of the agreement, G-Dub loses. But it'd be a risk worth taking if I'm him.

The 3rd pick is still better than the 7th (if that's where we end up).

Yeah the third might be better next year, but if they lose Deron like you suggested and Wallace and no draft pick, then they could very well be the worst team in the league next year and the 3rd pick may not be easy to obtain. It won't be a horrible scenario if we have to wait, but I would prefer not to.
