Nets Set To Trade Terrence Williams For 2 1sts, Vujacic

Seriously? Those picks are not at all attractive to me..especially that Lakers one, which could very well be a very late pick in a very weak draft.

This is looking like another stupid move in order to sweeten the pot in a Melo trade...The Nets seriously needs to give up on this man already.

Jordan Farmar + Sasha Vujacic + PF banging a Kardashian .... that means championship, right?

Prokhorov was serious when he said he wants to be the Lakers.

Note: the Houston 2012 1st round pick is lottery protected.

Agreed on everything here. This also frees up a roster space to possibly take back a garbage contract pending we send back a few of our expirings and garbage contracts (highly doubtful ANYONE takes Outlaw).

The trade itself...it's possible one could look at it that we dd get fair value though, which is two late 1sts and an expiring for an inefficient player the team was unhappy with (Thanks, Avery) and an aged veteran we shouldn't have signed in the first place.

I thought you'd be happy! Now Ross and Graham get to see a boat load of playing time!

...and the whole point of this is to trade for Melo when we send out another one of our young guys in Favors. I weep with you.

I'm upset at this team. I'm upset that T-Will is gone. I'm upset with our season. I know this is most likely part 1 of a big deal, but if we deal Favors in an attempt to get someone, I'm gonna be pissed.

You nets fans are soooooooo not in a front office state of mind. Go back to ESPN forums. You got 2 FIRST ROUND PICKS, A $5 mill EXPIRING CONTRACT in Vaja......and give up only TWILL who has only been playing 20 mins of game getting 6.7points/3rbound/3assist/.5steals.........and you are pissed !?!?!.....Yeah who cares if you got PROTECTED 1st round picks...Not all allstars are picked in the top 15. Plus having these picks give you more ammunition to make BIGGER MOVES in the future. SO STOP CRYING.

BTW: why is Twill so regarded by you guys ? Stats look pretty average to me. And he cant get playing time on a bad team that is weak on SF and SG. And your mad he got traded.......LOL WOW.

Don't comment on a situation you know nothing about.

We have crappy one dimensional players at SG and SF. T-Will was one of our 3 players (Farmar, Harris) that can create their own shot and run the offense. He was also one of our young and talented players (Favors, Lopez, James.). Now we lose one our young pieces and get a 3 point specialist (which we already have) and we gain picks in an attempt to get a guy who doesn't want to play here (Carmelo). This season so far has been a big disappointment.

Yep, pretty disappointing. But it looks like Nets front office know more than we do. Might be more to this trade, they might persuade Anthony and Denver to finalise a deal now. If only Anthony agrees.

OK, I will give DEN Murphy, Sasha, our 2011 1st (unprotected) the GS pick and both of the new picks to keep Favors and any other expiring to make salaries match.

Please take all the picks just let us keep Favors

Before people get too upset....just wait a few days, this definitely isn't our last move.

Avery and T-Will didn't get along, it was the right thing to move on from him and get some value.

I wonder if we're gonna call up Scottie Reynolds this season.

It seemed like he was going to get playtime after having a great summer league outing, but when the season started it seemed like he regressed. He wasn't taking it to the hole and his jumper wasn't looking too good. On top of that, he turned the ball over a lot and clashed with the coaching staff. Honestly, I don't think it's anyone's fault. I think he just doesn't fit our system.

Twil doesn't really fit any system. He's a guy who can do a lot things, just not any of them particularly well. He's a terrible scorer and can't shoot or finish. He has some playmaking ability, but his handles aren't great and he is a turnover machine. His athletic ability doesn't really translate onto the court outside of his rebounding. He isn't really super young and hasn't shown any signs of improving. He's basically the same player he was a sophomore in college.

He's probably going to be a career bench player. Let's not act like we gave up a potential superstar here.

Please don't use this as a platform for Melo, I officially don't want him.

I think Billy King is trying to get more male fans in the stadium with both Sharapova and Kardashian as the eye candy in home games
