I love what we're doing - picking up a whole bunch of young players who had enough talent to get drafted in the first round, but who haven't necessarily produced yet, or even gotten the opportunity to produce. Sure, many or even most of them might not end up producing, but these are all zero-risk/moderate upside signings.

Barring any cuts, this will be our full roster for next season:
PG: Teague/Lou Williams
SG: Devin Harris/Morrow/Jenkins/Anderson
SF: Korver/Damion James/DeShawn Stevenson
PF: Smoove/Ivan/Mike Scott
C: Horford/Zaza/Petro

This team has gotten rather guard/perimeter heavy, and while not necessarily a bad thing, I wouldn't be at all surprised if one night we drop 130 points and the next night we barely scrape 75.

Welcome to the Atlanta Nets.


In all seriously if he can get rid of the injury bug he's a great defensive player off the bench.
As a Nets fan I'm disappointed that we didn't give him another chance.

Okay, MC is reporting that it's just a camp invite. James and Anderson will compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Ivan is still unsigned and Ferry said he'd like to leave the 15th roster spot open for flexibility so at worst 2 roster spots are open and at best we carry 15 but the 15th is only partially guaranteed.

Good pickup for the Hawk. Both James and Anderson. Hopefully both can contribute as they had plenty of opportunity with their old ball clubs.
I wish both of them th best of luck!

I think only one of Damion James/James Anderson makes the team and I see Jordan Williams making the 15 man roster as additional C/PF depth. We are a bit short in height at this position with Ivan and Mike Scott undersized PFs.

I like to see james anderson/damion james make it and Jordan Williams cut for Keith Benson

This seems to be of little importance to me. However I like everyone else is impressed with Ferry thus far.

Great defender bad offensive player... First two years was made of glass. Jordan Williams is significantly better than Keith Benson...
