Wall is gonna pull a Kobe on us then Evan Turner will show up 50lbs overweight and be out of the league if 2 seasons.

Hello, do you know who Dan Fegan is? If Wall is pulling a Kobe it will definitely not be on the Nets.

For those who are having a hard time remembering (me), what is the Dan Fegan/Nets connection again?

vincecarter4pres · Post #185 » by **vincecarter4pres** » Mon May 3, 2010 10:28 pm

Some of Fegan's current clients:
Yi
Kris Humphries
Rafer Alston
Jarvis Hayes
Eduardo Najera

Also Kenyon Martin (at the time of the Denver move) and Nene to emphasize his relationship with Kiki. Also i believe Ricky Rubio is his client too.

So the Nets basically have to stick with Kiki as a GM at best till the lotto or at worst till they have a draft day deal for Wall ready to go.

Draft is June 24th
Kikis contract runs out June 29th.

Hey guys you realize that team with best chances in draft lottery rarely wins?

Which means, what do you have to offer to Minnesota for Wall? Because they don't need Wall, but knowing how they draft, they will draft him...

Are you willing to sign and trade lebron for wall?

Go home...

The team with the best chances always has the same chance, regardless of history. The odds don't go down because history has shown that they usually don't win.

How would we possibly sign and trade Lebron for Wall? You do realize that this is the Nets forum and not the Cavs, right? Or do you not realize that you need Bird Rights to sign and trade a player, in which the Nets don't have Lebron's, and if they did, they wouldn't have been 12-70 this year.

I think he meant to trade Wall to Cleveland in a S&T...

^Then why would he say, "What would you offer Minnesota for Wall?"

You guys worked out Jimmer Fredette this morning.

Jersey Generals · Post #194 » by **Jersey Generals** » Fri May 7, 2010 2:34 am

^We're taking him with the fourth overall if we get it.*

*Obviously a joke of the worst kind.

I hate Jimmer Fredette with such a passion. I hate BYU so much. And, no, it has nothing to do with anything outside of them being UNLV's rival and me being a UNLV grad.

ESPNs Mock ver 1 came out today. Noone cares?

Ford has us taking Willie Warren for now. But more importantly he has Paul George, Larry Sanders and Lawal all available at that pick. I think we might have a shot at 2 of out those 3 guys which would be an A+++++++++++++++++++++ draft, atleast based on what we know about those guys for now.

Based on pure upside (would have been a top 8 pick last year), I like Warren at 27. That said, if you win the lottery, is there room for Warren?

vincecarter4pres · Post #197 » by **vincecarter4pres** » Fri May 7, 2010 5:38 am

Warren isn't exactly a high character guy, I'm not big on him.
Paul George is so likely to be off the board at least 10 picks before ours, I just can't see him being there at 27. I think he has a good shot to go late lotto.

S.I.C. GM · Post #198 » by **S.I.C. GM** » Fri May 7, 2010 2:55 pm

I am not familiar with Warren.

What I do want to get out of those two picks if we keep them is a SG/SF defensive 3pt shooter and a back up Big.

Lawal fits one spot but I am not sure who would fit the other.

vincecarter4pres · Post #199 » by **vincecarter4pres** » Fri May 7, 2010 6:42 pm

Quincy Pondexter is a guy to take a look at with either pick for the SG/SF role.

I want the SF to have a jump shot. There is 1 capable shooter on this roster, Lee. That wont change if we draft Wall or Turner, we'll have a ton of playmakers with noone to pass to. Even if we get 1 in FA thats still not enough, we must draft one, Pondexter clearly doesn't fit that.
