Perkins, Lamb + Jones or GTFO


Perkins, Lamb, PJ3, McGary for Lopez and Bogdanovic or Teletovic would make me a very happy man

Edit: would need Jerrett to make salaries work as well

A salary dump that's all I think it is. But some people here are so frustrated with Brook Lopez that they want him out at all costs and have convinced themselves that Lance Stephenson can thrive out in the world without being in the perfect niche playing with a superstar perimeter player and a non play making point guard that he had in Indiana. It seems many are content to be the second team to sign up for his fools gold. As I stated earlier I hope I'm wrong but it would seem 99 percent of the general managers out there are thinking the same way I am.

Woj is as credible as they come, but hopefully Nets brass is putting this out there to drive up the price for Charlotte. Would love to get Biz, Vonleh, or Zeller back from them.

Bird demanded 2 1sts for Lance and now suddenly they would be in position to move him for Lamb and Jack?

Seems like all sides are playing hardball. I'm hoping we can walk away with either Lance or some combo of Jackson/Lamb/Jones

The only upside to a salary dump is moving Jack/Lopez drops our guaranteed salary to 53,742,017. We can execute sign and trades this off-season and pursue free agents.

I just want some form of assets back. We should atleast get one prospect.

We hear Nets are enamored with Stephenson 1 minute, then the next they don't like him b/c of attitude issues. LOL who knows what to believe anymore.

I hope BKN is playing hardball to get CHA to add a draft pick.

Woj saying its progressing with Lamb and Lopez. Would really love it if we squeeze McGary in there as well to give us a look at him for some PF minutes with Mirza's struggles. hopefully can squeeze one more assets out of them

So now we're backing out because our lack of desire for Lance?! Are they crazy, almost all of us are itching for someone with balls on this team beyond Plumlee...

I'm worried with this being our second time backing out, were too scared to take the chance.

-_- this sucks

**** the Russians. They are just looking to dump salary to sell the team. They bought the Nets just to get the real estate contracts. They would rather have no salary added to next year hence why they are nixing the Lance trade.

This has nothing to do with Billy King.

Would you elaborate on it a bit more? What do you see in Lamb and Jones that makes it worth it?
They seem like 2 end of bench scrubs in the making, when you take out 2-3 games Jones had earlier this season before again hurting his knees.

They are still have promise and Lamb is way ahead of Bogey as an NBA caliber guard.

Adding Perry would make the deal a little sweeter. I've seen plenty of Lamb and his ceiling isn't much more than what we've seen. Perry on the other hand can play multiple positions and defend. Fingers crossed he is involved. Lamb and Perkins feels like the Nets are just settling.
OKC Thunder fan, too.
