@MagicFan41
i'm all about upgrading the roster at this point....you say now is not the time....i disagree i think now is perfect time to get another piece that can contribute and up our chances even slightly to make it farther in the playoffs.....i just think that out of Q/Baby/Duhon Q is the one that you can accept if you're another team...i mean Baby is a bad player on a bad contract and Duhon is one of the worst players in the league....Q is on a good contract and losing him wouldn't be the end of the world.....i'm not going to let camaraderie stop me from trying to upgrade the roster.....

We're really not though. We could have all this money, but what do we do with it? Overpay a Travis Outlaw again? We had tons of space during the Lebron offseason, and look what that got us. Farmar, Petro, Outlaw, and etc. There are no big name guys who want to play for the Nets. That draft pick may not be as great as we think either. You can never really count on a draft pick. If and when Deron leaves, were ****ed, end of story.

I think ESPN has a guy at Amway who's covering the story. I assume ESPN will cut to the press conference if/when there is one.

WojYahooNBA: New Jersey is calling everywhere on possible deals, but one player emerging on Nets radar, sources say: Portland's Jamal Crawford. [via Twitter]

So, DWill stays because of Jamal Crawford?

This is the Jamal Crawford that can't seem to find a consistent starting job anywhere, right? 41% career shooter Jamal Crawford? Or is there another one?

Deron Williams is probably going to Dallas and if they do not deal him, they will be left with nothing.

It is a shame because we have a lot of great Nets Fans who post on our Nets Forum.

I feel horrible.

Sorry man. I have a couple friends who are NJ fans (since I live in PA) and they all are pretty cool. Way better than the LA fans.

I'd be sad if we trade Q, I just love the guy. Every bench warmer should be like him.

Tracking Dwight driving a white truck down the highway. Sounds like another athlete that was in the media...
