Lopez for Reggie Jackson falls apart; Nets acquire Thad Young for KG (UPDATE: Page 58)

[Prokorov]

yup, and makes all 3 parties happy.

Until we hear otherwise i just cant help but think under the assumption king wont take lance and OKC wont move jackson for brook

thank you kind sir!

I want King to explain to us fans why he doesn't like Lance. Does Lance threaten teammates? Brings thug to a whole new meaning? Berates his teammates and coaches? Doesn't shower? Eats with his mouth open? Doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom? Awful cologne? WTF is it!!!! lol

Whatever he's done - he's lost the trust of 2 solid organizations and group of players in less than a year. That's pretty impressive.

That is the thing though, there is nothing to disrupt here. we have no chemistry, the pieces already dont fit, and our best players arent hard workers.

unless they think he has some pending legal issues, makes no sense not to roll the dice

I completely agree. I want Lance BADLY. If someone is stealing rebounds and starting fights with THIS team, I'd be happy. There is no chemistry or passion or focus to disrupt here. If anything, he'll inject some life into the guys.

Just hard to downplay how much Indiana and now Charlotte hate him. I don't know what he's done but he's clearly rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Vets, coaching staffs, front office guys, Larry Bird!

[BlackOutBuzz]

Honestly the players seem to like him here. Clifford keeps giving him playing time too, it's just not working. Aside from the constant Brooklyn-slurping he hasn't done anything (that we know of) that would've upset anyone. Seems like it's all performance-related. There could be more behind the scenes, but everyone knew of Ben Gordon's issues and nothing similar has been said of Lance.

We won't ever find out if Jackson is obtainable.

Of course, because our PG situation is solid right now

Billy King is a cock sucker

[Shook Jones]

Jackson doesnt make sense if you cant move Dwill. Cant pay him what he wants to stay here anyway.

Move JJ or Lopez. Sign Blatche!

Simple moves.

Pistons are still trying to push the terrible Joe Johnson deal... If that's the one deal that goes through, I think I'd have to take a break from the Nets for a while.

That's the worst deal that's been put forth

They're mentioning picks, they better be good picks if King pulls the trigger. The deal pretty much solidifies us missing the playoffs. Butler is significantly worse than Johnson, Jennings isn't playing, and Jerebko would be worth the look at the 4 with us thin there isn't moving the needle. The wing rotation of Butler, Anderson, Bogdanovic would be the worst in the league: not a single one of them has a PER above 10.

Even then, there's no way we get great picks for this trade. Probably a top 10 protected, but even then... I guess I don't value picks the way many others do.

This is just such a bad idea, it's very very possible Jennings doesn't come back the same and is completely ****. The only way it works is if it's a three team and send away Jennings for something else.

Yeah, I'd wait and see what kind of picks we're dealing with.

Plus, if Billy has some other deal sending out Lopez or D-Will for expirings, then you're talking about being a player in FA this summer.

I wonder if extending him would reduce the cap hit beginning with next year...

It would reduce the cap hold for 2016 FA but why bring on JJ in the first place? If he's not there, you don't have to worry about that at all.

Piston fan here - question about JJ - he plays 36 mpg and has good shooting numbers. Why only 15 ppg?

we've got a pretty bleak SG/SF rotation, so he gets heavy minutes constantly and it wears on him. It has caused him to play pretty meh for a while.

The hope we have is that we can pick up a proper SG this trade deadline, which gives Joe the chance to not push as much and go back to more respectable numbers.

Simple answer because he never ever goes to the FT line. He rather dribble and shoot off the dribble over defenders instead of driving to the rim or backing down. He could get 20pts a game in his sleep if he changed his game up.

Yall KNOW I want Thad on this team badly. Billy King drafted him so this has a lot of potential. Also if they get Thad I doubt they sign Blatche.

If they can get Martin too while moving Joe this team will start winning believe that. Martin and Thad are goo athletic players that do alot of little things this team needs.

Do it. Love KG but he shouldn't be here anymore.
