many old guys.. but maybe back with a good d will ? some good sings from him..
Garnett is over the hill though..
guess u can conclude that in the long run it can be really hard to compete the coming years for the Nets because of the way they managed there contracts .. in the nba patients pays even though its not a garanty...

Again their chances of making the PO and going deep is on how healthy Deron and if Brook can be healthy this season. His post presence is badly missed by this team. I read that other's put Knicks ahead this season just because they have Melo & "the triangle", only PJax had an successful run w/ that kind of offense, GL.

Nets are imho doomed to suck for the next couple of years. D-Will will struggle again with his health/attitude. KG is just getting older. Joe-below-average-PER-Johnson is not a valid first option for any contender. Lopez might have a good year ahead, but that's not enough...

I told you this when all of this began. JJ/Walace/DWill/Lopez, it simply was a gamble that was never gonna pay off.
First button was wrongly put ofc everything went wrong, now's the time to suffer. Well, I guess the Nets at least made a bang with their new city. LoL

The Brooklyn Nets have begun reaching out to teams to let them know that former All-Stars Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson are available via trade, ESPN.com has learned.
League sources told ESPN.com that the Nets, off to a disappointing 8-11 start and looking to retool after last season's $190 million roster filled with veterans couldn't advance beyond the second round of the playoffs, have let it be known that they are prepared to move any of those franchise cornerstones in what would likely be separate deals if they came to fruition because of the high salaries each possess.
----------
Yet sources insist that the Nets haven't abandoned their recent "win-now mentality" and aren't merely looking to dump salary. Brooklyn's hope, sources said, is to construct a deal or two that bring back sufficient talent that enables the Nets to remain a playoff team.

The Brooklyn Nets are available on the open market.
Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, five years into his failed championship pursuit as Nets owner, has made it known that the team is up for sale, according to league sources.

yup
Lopez, 27, will receive a three-year, $60 million maximum contract that includes some protections for the Nets should a recurrence of Lopez’s foot issues sideline him again, sources said.
Young, 27, who opted out of $10.2 million owed him next season, will sign a four-year, $50 million deal, sources said.
The Nets reportedly are shopping veteran guards Deron Williams, Jarrett Jack and Joe Johnson, but Young and Lopez are in Brooklyn for the foreseeable future as the team's best assets.

Andrew wrote:I wasn't aware that Lopez ranked so high on the team's all-time leaders charts. I guess he's had a longer tenure with the Nets than some of their other prominent players, like Jason Kidd, or Vince Carter. Just had a look, and it seems Buck Williams is still the man in a lot of categories.
