THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

For all the excitement BK created a few yrs back, this is all ending like a fart in the wind. Not even failure, or bust. Just indifference.

I remember all the hype when Prokhorov first bought the team...flash forward a few years and the most expensive lineup in NBA history later and there's absolutely nothing to show for it all

Deron Williams will be a different player in Dallas. That Nets run was terrible.

How different can he be, he's physically a shell of himself.

 

[QU!K]

Seattle Nets, you heard it here first

 

[Chester McFloppy]

**** him.

Hope he doesn't flourish anywhere.

Don't be like this.

 

[suavamente]

Coming back home... he knew BK didn't fit his personality (would always talk about how he wasn't used to living there)... chip on his shoulder. 10 mi for 2 years. I'm good with that.

Time to trade for a decent frontcourt guy... or worse case... Javale 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

It's been down hill since we lost the John Wall lottery hired Billy King.

Oh well.

 

[ny mavurs]

Deron Williams gone

Joe Johnson you're next

not good enough to be a contender, not bad enough to have a high draft pick.

then they traded all their picks to Boston for Pierce & KG.

just an odd situation...

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Deron Williams, Wesley Matthews, and Chandler Parsons?

Hope that training staff is ready.

 

[silverbackhoney]

I remember when that trade went down and EVERY ONE of my friends said the Nets won that trade and that they were a finals lock etc etc.

Idiots. I tried telling them that young assets and hoards of draft picks >>> old stars on ridiculous contracts

 

[noblekane]

Deron williams is done.

Nothing can save his lazy selfish butt

How long til him and carlise bump heads and he gets benched? Im thinking all star break

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Mavs re-sign Amare and they'll have the best "if this was 2010 y'all would be shook" squad in the association.

Western Conference version of the Nets

 

[do work son]

how did deron williams get bought out, and agree to a new deal so quickly? smells like tampering...

 

[Quincy McCall]

And if Nets lose JJ, D-Will that's a comeup. They still have BLopez and chance to renew some FA attraction

Should've done it earlier.

 

[casper90403]

you can't possibly think Deron will have a resurgence. You don't fall off like that and then pick it up again. Be ecstatic if he gets you 15 and 7. But then again, thats pretty good for what he;s about to get paid.

 

[japanair21]

Shame we couldn't have gotten Hibbert for nothing like LAL did. Would've been real happy with Deron, Wes, Chandler, Dirk, and Hibbert.

I hold my breath until I see a presser with Deron.

Shame you guys couldn't keep DJ.

he has to go thru waivers first but it is kinda fishy how there's already a 2/$10M deal on the table from the Mavs..

and his wife posted a video on the Gram saying Deron is "going home"

 

[friscostylez]

They tried to microwave a contender because of the move and the new owner.

That **** never works.

Boston? Miami?

is it tampering if the team the player is on allows the talks to occur via his agent?
