So...even more double PG sets, huh? Hopefully, there's some trade out there that takes one or two of our current PGs away.

4 PG lineup with markel at center?

in all seriousness, someone has to go. I'm holding out hope it is dwill but my gut tells me its probably jack. i think jack is attractive to some other teams/situations.

There must be a trade coming.

D-Will, Jack, Blake, Larkin, Boatright. Too many guards.

Anyway, welcome Larkin.

Wow... Sarcasm aside one would think that dwill, Blake or Jack are to be dealt soon...

Sarcasm - Lopez and four guards!!???!??? Lmao

I like this a lot. Definitely means we're confident on shipping Jack or Deron out ASAP.

Hornets would love to take Jack off your hands. Any interest in Marvin Williams?

Trade incoming hopefully. And I don't mind poaching the Knicks young talent for cheap.

Five. We signed Boatright as well.

This pretty much to me means we found a deal in place for Jack.

I cannot fathom that King found a taker for Deron.

Good pick up, but the guy will need to calm the hell down. He gets out of control sometimes in traffic. He can definitely ball though, and he doesn't play like a bitch either.

Interesting. It also looks like the Nets dipped into their mMle because 1.5 M is above the minimum.

Quoting myself because I think it belongs in this thread:

Fun fact: Larkin was taken with the pick the Nets traded to Atlanta in the Joe Johnson deal. Next goal: T-Rob. Billy King tries to make up for all the picks he traded away.

At least one PG on the roster who is able to attack the basket.

Not really.

Knick fan here in peace:

He's still young and he can be serviceable, but just don't expect him to contribute major minutes.

He seemed simply overwhelmed and when that happens comes the stupid mistakes. Once we cut his minutes down when galloway started and calderon got healthy, he became more useful.

He's simply a small point guard, that gets overmatched way too often against normal sized starting point guards. He's fast and can be a pesky defender, but being outmatched every game against front line starters negates the speed and defensive abilities. In turn, he gets frustrated and can commit stupid turnovers here and there.

Make him a third point guard and he can be okay. Just make sure he plays summer league because he needs it.

He's signed with a guaranteed? I thought he was an invite for SL

2nd year is player's option.

Not a huge fan or Larkin, but he's the same age as Grant and a year younger than Delon Wright. Not bad.

I liked him coming out of the draft, but he's just too undersized, and his shooting hasn't translated into the NBA. I hope he has somewhat of a breakout as a Net, but otherwise I don't like the signing too much. He's a third string PG being paid a bit above vet min.

I really hope we trade Jack. Jack use to be one of my favorite players back when he was in the Blazers and I was so excited when the Nets got him. Just cuz he was my dude back in the day. However, I just don't think he is in the right fit for this team. He is too much of a shoot first mentality and we need players that can run an offense.

Shane Larkin's best game as a pro. 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, +24

Still think he's a scrub who will be out of the league soon, unless he somehow acquires a magical increase in his skillset. For a very undersized PG, he's not really good at any of the things he's supposed to be good at.

trade everyone except brook, thad, trob , mccullough, and rondae
