Bojan Bogdanovic Signs With Nets (Or Not Yet)

[NyCeEvO]

I called this yesterday.

I knew something was wrong when Monday and Tuesday passed and nothing happened.

Even though it's super-unlikely, we should make a hard-pitch to AK. Give him a player option for next season, so we can get his bird rights and offer him a lot more to stay going forward.

Dude,

If we pull off AK without a cash offer under the table or one of Proky's Russian mob guys visiting AK for tea...I will be over the moon. I love that guy. He isnt the guy he used to be...but man he would be such a massive get for 3.2mil!

For clarity purposes...

1- No, I dont have a problem with an under the table offer so long as we dont get caught. Not that it would matter. What can the NBA do? Take away our picks for the next 4 years like they did with Joe Smith? I think we took care of that already...lol.

2- Yes, I was implying that a Russian Billionaire most likely made his money involved with a lot of shady people. Ask anyone in finance what it takes to be an Oligarch you will here the same answers.

LOL, I thought the exact same thing!

Proky...get one of your goons to pay for his family's stay in NY and get him whatever he needs.

Btw, whenever people ask or question how Proky made his money, I always stay silent cuz I know it all wasn't through legitimate means.

Hate that guy. What a creep.

Yeah, him and that moderator of that board where he posts.

Seriously. I mean who actually promotes they're from New Jersey in their screen name?!

How about now?

[interbasket]

you like it or not, but in high quality eurolegue teams non averaging big numbers. and we are talking abot many proven nba players such as weems and so on. only big stars like james, dirk, kobe etc... would posting crazy numbers. it's difrent style, rules, principles of game and coaching

I don't know about Morrow and how his game would translate to europe, but many good NBA players can't even play for averge teams, while some NBA scrubs are stars in europe. Neither you can judge wich europian player can play in NBA by stats. There are no mathematic rules and laws wich can tell you what player can play in NBA or Europe.

Only what evryone can do is watching somebody play and use imagination trying figure out what can and can't someone do in difrent level

Off topic, sorry, but can you help me in this thread?

I am getting the whole thing about hundreds of American scrubs have dominated Euroleague thing, and just getting it over and over, and they won't believe me that it's not true.

[Da_Kidd]

Very glad to hear we are moving on. He does not seem to really care for the NBA if he continues to stay quiet.

Can we say Fran Vazquez part deux?

Seriously tho, I think it was more of a buyout issue with his club than his willingness to come to the States. Either way, we already have a player of his caliber in Mirza so I'd prefer him to play overseas than having to force Kidd's hand to play him.

[DarkXaero]

On the plus side, Bogdanovic's team is getting a great European coach so he could benefit a lot from playing a year under him (if there is a manageable buyout in his new contract). Hopefully, under the new coach, his defense improves.

He's not signed yet, interesting...

[serp]

Considering AK's not going to stay here long-term there's a good chance the Nets will try to bring him over next year. Unless of course he signs somewhere else in Europe . If so that pick would be completely wasted.

the point of the player option is he can opt out and we will have bird rights to resign him to a 5 mil per year type deal

Rolly, a few of our posters do not believe we will be signing anyone on this roster beyond the 2015-2016 season and will in fact be bare bones for 2016 free agency.

I have been of the mindset that while possible, I have a hard time picturing King allowing Lopez to walk, along with Pierce, KG, Terry, Blatche, AK, and JJ without re-signing any of them or exploring trades of their expiring contracts for other long term deals.

Either way...I just think its too far off to know if King will really execute that level of a mass rebuild. Although he alluded to that apparently during SL the other day.

I think results will dictate a lot of what will happen the next 3 years in the off season.

[vincecarter4pres]

E, dude... lol... whether you agree with it or have a hard time believing it or whatever, having max cap in 2016 and letting Lopez walk are not mutually exclusive, we've been through this like 47 times!

We can have Lopez on a max deal and Deron on an 8 figure deal and still have max cap and some rookie scale level guys under contract and then have that mini-mini-MLE after signing a max cat.

No matter if you believe in the 2016 plan or even care to speculate, at least absorb this info being stated for the 53rd time haha.

3 years is a long time, it may become apparent that this team has topped out by then (Pierce and KG retire, Deron declines, Lopez has injuries). If that happens rebuild seems to be the only logical option no? The bigger question is one you have raised before, is 32 y old Deron, Lopez, Bogs or whatever young players we have, enough to draw a marquee free agent? Unless something unforeseen happens (Deron is still elite, Lopez is the best center in the league, we find a Parker or Ginobili) it seems like there may be better destinations (see the dwight/lakers fiasco this summer). So i kind of hate to say it, but i guess i agree with you.

[vincecarter4pres]

Rolly, I'll say it like this... IMHO, this is going to be one of the premier franchises and destinations that free agents and players demanding trades and even shady top rookies are going to want to come to.

It's already happening. Old or not, 3 of the premier names on the market just made their way here by their own choice. Pierce asked to be dealt here, KG waived his No Trade Clause and AK-47 took an ENORMOUS pay cut to come here whether the market dried up for him and he foolishly opted out to begin with.

Give it a couple more years, this is going to be the place players are begging to come to and the superstars are openly pining over.

Book mark this post for kicks on this prediction... LaMarcus Aldridge has already asked out and supposedly listed 3 teams thus far, Dallas, Chicago and IIRC Houston... by the deadline we will be added to that list. It won't happen because we won't deal Lopez for him unless his health is a concern or he's become a real pussy around the older vets and we don't have the assets or contracts to match any other way... and I don't say this cause I really love Aldridge as a player... I say this as a real prediction... book mark this post man, I'm telling you, it will bring a smile to your face by midseason.

What this will show again, is the marque guys will want to be here.

I agree with this... furthermore, if we were to land someone like Durant, our chances of doing so via trade for Lopez and an insane expiring would be greater then letting everyone expire and competing with others for his services

Not to mention mozgov saying he could end up here if we wanted, korver entertaining a massive paycut, Blatche staying for less, and not being turned down by ANYONE who didnt otherwise sign for significantly more money. basically, everyguy we targetred, and had the money for, was brought on board.

yeah, not to mention, players take note that others are flocking here. and they take note that the nets are willing to go way over the tax to put a great team around them. and how they promote their players

[NyCeEvO]

The thread title should be changed to "thank God Bojan did not sign with the Nets"!

It's alright everyone. She cheered up when NPH told her the Nets signed Kirilenko.

Sounds like damage control and/or BK got played.

In the end, it still worked out for us.

If you don't want to be here, we don't want you here.

[vincecarter4pres]

Who knows, maybe the AK deal became a reality behind the scenes and they asked him if he minded staying over their for a couple more years without causing a stink about us reneging on the deal?
