I remember reading somewhere that the deal was being held off until Monday, and that Frank thinks it would be a great idea to play Collins in his last game as a member of the Nets because... Because he has a man crush on Collins...

I think it had to be put on hold because of the Gasol trade
"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."

No that would be Swift for Bargnani.

the Nets might be reconsidering this deal, since they think they might still be contenders with Collins at the helm

Raptors fans, don't get mad at NetsForce, he's just a little cranky watching his team implode in front of him.

The truth hurts, ay?

Wow, terrible joke. I haven't seen a stretch that awful since the Nets' last losing streak.

I also wouldn't be making too many gay jokes considering who your best player is.

Kidd slaps women not dongs. You have to wonder about CBFail with all those weird youtube videos he's putting out though... If he spent more time in the weight room and developing a post game maybe he wouldn't have gotten abused by Collins in the playoffs.

Hey, weren't you the guy on the Nets board calling out NetsForce for being a drama queen on the General Discussion board? Scroll up a bit, because you might need to take another whack at him, he's being a bad boy!

Kidd may hit women, but I'll tell you one thing his rapidly declining ass can't hit: a jumpshot.

I sort of feel sorry for your situation in New Jersey, where Kidd has been shopped around more than an ugly girl with a rich father, but with little success. First the LA rejection with Bynum, now the Outlaw/Charmin Frye deal falls through too? Argh! They need to get that inevitable rebuild into full swing before his value hits rock bottom!

I love Raptors fans like you, just because Jason Collins is leaving the conference you talk smack.

it says a lot about the Nets when their most feared player is Jason Collins

Judging from your own sig, you're doing a pretty good job of trolling yourself I guess :dontknow:
