Lopez/Wallace/Deron was the same core the Nets had last season, yes, the team, if Humphries is brought back will improve, but the idea is that will future assets, and whoever they pick this year be able to obtain Dwight at the deadline? That is even assuming everything goes perfect meaning Dwight does not go somewhere he likes, Deron stays on etc.
Williams wants a championship, and I believe sign/trades are harder now to execute.
The BEST thing the Nets can do this off-season is make a 3 way sign and trade deal to send Deron to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum, have Bynum go to Houston, have Rockets picks, Lowry and Dalembert come back to NJ. Maybe even have Dalembert go the Lakers instead if there are any assets left there that can be involved... Basically, try to turn Deron into Lowry and 2 first rounder picks.
False.
Brook Lopez played 5 games... none with Wallace. And in the games that both Wallace and Deron played the Nets were 6-5... still not great, but decent when you consider Shelden Williams and Johan Petro were two of our 3 rotational bigs.
We only have 4 players on the roster as of now... I think it's foolish to say with certainty what the nets will or won't do next season when you have no idea what players will be on the roster.
I don't mean this as an insult but part of the problem is "broke" Lopez.
the dude can not stay healthy. Crash has the very same problem. Making a leap of faith that both will play 70+ games, develop chemistry and play well is dangerous. In theory BroPez, Humph, Crash, Brooks and Deron could be a good team, but ultimately is a treadmill looking club. Yes, we don't know what Nets will look like, but we know limitations and bird rights and cap holds, so between the 10+ mil on Crash, the 12+ mil on Lopez the 18 mil on Deron, the 4 mill on morrow and possible the 4 mil on farmar, ur best bet is to keep Humphries rights and offer him a deal.
