The hate from some people is just oozing. There are no downsides to have Jordan on the team. We essentially got him for free.
I was just saying how the star players were able to get what they want. I like DJ with Allen. Honestly didn’t think it was possible and that’s why I threw out names like Gortat and Robin Lopez previously. Please don’t misconstrue my comment on player empowerment with complaining about a potential bad deal. (But maybe you’re just referencing a lot of social media who’s hating on the player and deal? Bc I’ve seen that too)

I wasn’t referring to you. My bad...I should’ve been more clear.
I was referring to fans of opposing teams who magnify the imperfections of the Nets roster as massive problems. No team is perfect. The better you are, the more flaws people find, and the greater the criticisms are, regardless of whether they are legitimate or not.
I don’t like “sneak dissing”. I would’ve quoted you if I wanted to disagree with a specific point that you made lol.
If he returns to his 17-18 season form, he's a pretty good player. If its more of what he showed this year, then he's one year away from being out of the NBA.Crane08 wrote:Sup everyone what are your thoughts on RHJ?

I know why he wanted Temple, and its not for on the court reasons. And that's fair enough. Obviously, I don't want to criticize Marks much after the summer we've just had, but Green was the perfect fit here. And by all accounts, dude is a hard working guy and not an issue in the locker room. Temple, on the other hand, is worthy of vet minimum, so I feel like we could have always signed him afterwards either way. Green was actually my #1 choice for PF signing this summer (on the assumption that we were getting KD & Kyrie), but after I realized that we wouldn't have the full MLE, I thought that Green would be out of our price range. Now it turns out that he wasn't, and we could have signed him for room exception. And then we could have added Garrett Temple for vet minimum.MrDollarBills wrote:Marks wanted Temple here for a reason. I will sit back and patiently watch. I'm not second guessing this man.

Better players than Temple have taken the vet minimum this summer. Going by his journeyman career, and his on court production, I refuse to believe that Temple couldn't have been signed for vet minimum. He's 33 years of age, an average shooter, and his stats over the years have been mediocre at best. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Temple on this roster, I'm sure he can contribute here, and if he brings in good defense, that's really welcome. But not at the cost of using up our room exception, which could have addressed a far bigger need (a starting 4).MrDollarBills wrote:DarkXaero wrote:I know why he wanted Temple, and its not for on the court reasons.

I think Green would have been a solid pick up, but we do not know if Temple was going to take the minimum.
Temple is probably going to get plenty of PT, his game is what Kenny wants: three point shooting and gritty defense.

Now we still have to resort to playing a SF at 4 (Prince), and hope that he can handle that kind of workload. His backup options are Kurucs and Chandler, and neither of them are ideal fits at 4. If Allen is going to be a starter or our main center, then it was important to have a hard working natural PF next to him, who could rebound, play defense, and stretch the floor. JaMychal Green was that guy.

It's impossible to know whether Green would've taken us over LAC, if the money were the same. They look better than us on paper, especially for this upcoming season.DarkXaero wrote:Kinda mad that JaMychal Green signed the same kind of 2 year deal with the Clippers at the end of free agency, that Garrett Temple did with us.
