Nets' new contract commitments: $98M (DWill), $40M (Wallace), $89M (remainder of Joe Johnson's contract), $60M (Lopez). Total: $287 million.

They went from BK to KY. No vaseline!

Meaning they will rape or receive it?

Kevin Durant makes $17 million a season (5 year-$86 mil); Brook Lopez will make $15.25 million a season (4 year-61 mil). You be the judge.

If the Nets aren't as profitable as everyone is projecting right now, and by the next CBA discussion, they're not making a boat load of money, this is going to be exibit A for the bad owner crowd.

The Nets will do okay marketing wise, especially if they start winning more than the Knicks. But the problem is Prokhorov is going to have to pay severe tax penalties for a team that is no better than a 1st-2nd round exit.

He's gonna be a second option after Deron.

I skimmed the Dwight thread, gotta say that Shaheen guy is the poster boy for delusional Nets fans, Prokhorov is gonna love those. So Lopez > Johnson :lol:

If I was the GM of the Nets there is no way I would have re-signed Brook Lopez for anything more than $10M per year... personally, I would have done a S&T deal and got him out of there!

It would be a shame of they had to ship out d will for nash mid season.

It's Shaheen... But at the risk of validating him by responding, if Lopez doesn't learn how to rebound on a team with Dwill, JJ and Wallace, there's no way he sniffs 18pts...

What does he rebounding have to do with his ability to score? Im no Shaheen defender or Lopez apologist but lets not act like the man isnt a 18-20 pt threat. He isnt a scrub and he doesnt suck. He just isnt a good rebounder and up until last year where he played 5 games he and Bynum avg around the same amt of blocks a game.

He wasn't surrounded by ball dominating D-Will and chuckers Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace :dontknow:

yeah Lopez is clearly an 18-20ppg although mostly by inefficiently chucking and playing no D.

Sorry fellas for derailing this thread by quoting a delusional Nets fan.

Now time for me to bring this thread back to life.

Hennigan also said he spoke with Dwight today and added "there's a chance, yeah"
that Howard could return to ORL. Unbelievable.

He now has to compete with at least one shooter/scorer in JJ and a playmaker in Wallace... Not to mention Williams... It ain't just him anymore.
If I'm reading BBall Reference right, JJ attempted more shots a game than Kobe last season and Wallace takes quite a few shots too.
He's going to have to clean the offensive glass if he wants to get to those numbers.
