Taylor left the ball really low on that drive to the layup, hence the piece.

0-4

So other than Taylor who is already signed, maybe Thorton and Toko for this season?

If the Nets don't have immediate plans to bring over Bogdanovic- why couldn't they sign both Al Thorton, and Toko for the active roster? Is it a cap issue?

Honestly- I don't know much about Toko Shengelia except what I have seen in SL- but I know Al Thorton could get good some minutes if he had a better work ethic. If he wants to play for Avery he at least needs to work harder for sure.

Shengalia has been playing very well for you guys. He's been a real surprise to me, especially as a non-Nets fan.

Taylor, not surprised at all. I've been a fan of his since sophomore year at Kansas. Big fan of his game...especially as a guy off the bench.

He's not playing but that has nothing to do with it. Just a rest day....he's already a roster lock, the coaches probably wanted to see everyone else more.

Don't rain on the parade! :lol:

For what it's worth Marshon Brooks is balling right now...

MarShon is going off right now.

26 points, 4 assists in 22 minutes.

Marshon with 34....ties Orlando SL record.

It's amazing what a trade rumor can do for a players psyche.

The Nets organization is smarter than we fans give them credit for. They never had any intention on trading Marshon- they just wanted him to step his game up to a higher echelon.

I'll be completely honest here.

I didn't think Brooks was that great today even though he tied the record points in Orlando summer league. He is a ball stopper and a ball hog he isn't efficient at all and plays iso ball all the time waving team mates away.

Shengelia looks a far better prospect at 20 than Brooks does now at 23/24 and thats because he plays hard, runs the floor, defends very well and actually gets his team mates involved.

I absolutely hate Brooks game and would trade him for a 1st round pick next summer pre draft instantly because Bogdanovic will be joining next season and would fit into our system a hell of a lot better.

Brooks needs to go, he pisses me off
