The problem is too many of those sleeper picks end up walking away or getting dealt in one-for-one trades for other sleepers. At some point, you have to package those guys or do something out of the ordinary. Otherwise, you're just running in place.
Somebody get that Brandon Jacobs letter kid on the phone!
@Yankees91919191 I'll allow it.
"Without Crash we have no defense, no rebounding, and no SF. And he's a bargain at $10 mil."If Gerald Green continues playing like a younger Gerald Wallace, the Nets will have all of those things at a much cheaper price tag.
Starting to wish I had written my Nets martyrdom piece in the wake of the Dwight Howard indecision last week. Probably too late for it now.If you think you can build around Deron Williams to win a championship, you have to. If you don't think he's someone you can build around, you trade him and start over.
The only one of those deals that the third team would reasonably sign off on is the Timberwolves deal. If they want Morrow and Humphries, I could see them giving up Beasley (unless he's already on his way to L.A.), Darko (expendable with the emergence of Nikola Pekovic) and a pick.
My question: If your given name is already Lexus, do you really need a nickname?
@uuords No. 2 had nothing with going to SSAC today, I'm sure.
Kenyon Martin. Richard Jefferson. Vince Carter. Hassan Adams. Gerald Green.
I've always been partial to the dead-silence-until-the-last-second-and-then-SCREAM method.
Look at you, getting your Sebastian Pruiti on.
