[ESPN] Nets pursuing Josh Smith

Hopefully they get him so we don't have people pissed at Morey for not offering this guy a max contract.

 

Geez how much money can the nets spend..if they plan on resigning him

 

In what way could Brooklyn do this without giving up Brook Lopez, who's a better player anyway?

 

. Actually, no. More like this

 

yeah bima got em

How dumb would the Nets have to be to take this deal? Seems like they don't get anything they need anyway... And getting Josh Smith really doesn't seem to do much for them either. Joe Johnson+J-Smoove? Sounds like ATL 2.0 to me...

 

BIMA is so full of win.

 

Mediocres gonna mediocre.

 

I miss Chuck sometimes

 

Nets give no f***s about the luxury tax

 

Dayum, goin hard in the paint

 

When your owner has the means to pay it, it doesnt matter.

 

Multiple Sources.

 

Wow they are gonna be in salary cap hell. If this happens and most likely will lose a lot of depth.

 

Yeah but i can see why they would go all in.. Plus the owner is a billionaire

 

Yet another example of how horrible mainstream NBA sports reporting is. Chris Broussard is on ESPN! And the man doesn't understand the CBA (and probably has zero interest in understanding it, either) and somehow does not understand that a Kris Humphries (pretty average player, getting paid a large amount of money in 2013-14) and Marshon Brooks (a mediocre third rate "prospect") is worth less to the Atlanta Hawks than cap space (i.e., NOTHING AT ALL). I have been paid a grand total of zero dollars in my lifetime to cover the NBA and I understand these concepts, so why can't one of ESPN's leading "experts" understand them? These are not particularly difficult concepts!

And do the Nets even have any first round picks after that Deron Williams trade? Didn't they give up, like, two or three first round picks for Deron Williams? Not that long ago? And what the hell are the Nets even doing? Their roster is a complete disaster. They are going to be in luxury tax hell for the foreseeable future, and I will be surprised if that roster ever wins a first round series.

 

Uhm, with Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Gerald Wallace? ATL never had any of those guys did they?

 

Ditto merrrlo. They really are trying to become Atlanta 2.0!

 

What a condescending ******* this BimaThug is!
