Terrence Williams trade to HOU

[VC15]

I'd request a name change back to "DH34", but he's likely the next player to be traded.

EliRobertQMathis should be yo name.

So a 2nd round pick (that's pretty much what Lakers 1st round picks are worth) is a big time steal for the Nets? Also, Vujacic has hardly even played this season. He has lost major playing time within the past two seasons along with his jump shot.

You do realize this trade will help the Nets in trading for Melo, right? The Nets are receiving 2 first-round picks. Those will be vital if/when they trade for Melo. A first round pick is a first round pick. Sure it may not be a lottery pick, but there should be some sort of talent at that pick. Calling a 1st round pick to be essentially a 2nd round pick is horribly incorrect.

OK, even if they won't make a trade for Melo. That's still 5 million coming off the books for the Nets this offseason where there are a decent amount of solid role players and of course, Melo. So why is it a big time steal? They get rid of Williams who would probably have never excelled as a Net. Get an expiring in Vujacic and 2 first rounders (If the season were to end today, they would receive the #12 pick and #27).

Yeah it definitely was not a steal for the Nets.

We have five 1st rd picks spread out in the next two drafts. If you don’t think that a trade is coming, I don’t know what to tell you.

*shrug* I just don't see Melo in a Nets uniform. I guess it could happen.

Meh, whatever. Don't even know why I care. This doesn't largely effect the Western Conference either way. Well, it would, but nothing detrimental to the Lakers. If the Nets manage to pry Melo or some other player away, that only makes things better on our end.

Yes, such a huge steal. We obviously have different definitions of the phrase here.
A late first round pick, let's not get fooled by the success stories of some late 1st or 2nd round pick stories, the vast majority don't amount to much in reality.
What exactly were they stealing again? An unlikely scenario of attempting to trade for Melo and a scrub that lost his jump shot when that was the only thing he's been able to do that ever made him of any worth as a player. Oh wait, but he's an expiring. lol expirings are only important to irrelevant teams, that of which the Nets are.

So how does this make the Nets relevant if they still miss out on Melo? Wait, it doesn't.

Uh, so just because he's an expiring, that makes him a bad acquisition? All teams go through a re-building process after years of being at the least, a solid team. If I were to view this trade through the eyes of a Nets' personnel, I would love this trade. You trade away a nuisance to the team, get an expiring, and 2 first round picks. So what if Sasha is a scrub? The Nets aren't looking to be contenders this season. Even if the Nets don't get Melo, they could trade CP3, or someone of that caliber with the amount of picks they have. Now they have Harris leftover, so you trade him for a swing man. A CP3-Lopez combo would be deadly for the years to come. With the expiring, you now have more room to sign solid role players.

A starting line-up with the likes of CP3, Favors, Lopez, Morrow wouldn't look too shabby, eh? This is just visualizing what this trade enables the Nets to do. Not saying this will happen, but there are a plethora of opportunities now open to the Nets. Sure it may not look beautiful on the outside, but this team is put into a good position where they can become a really really good team in the future.

Names aren't everything.

smh
lakers keep getting rid of draft picks
fine, but not for freaking joe smith
<Censored>

but they're in win now mode. im just sick of not having a PG. one of 3 teams in the NBA without one (Heat and hawks)

all of sudden the lakers get bigger lol
Bynum's back, Pau, Odom, Caracter, Ratliff is back soon, and Joe Smith

 

[Mexi]

lmao

looks like he was told sometime before the game or during

 

[MapleLeaf]

Scrubs would be any players on Dallas not named Nowitzki or Kidd.

EDIT: We definitely plan on making more deals. The Bricks just tried to trade for Houston's first in order to send it to Denver for Melo.

Hmm....

Oh yeah, I forgot the Mavs are a team full of scrubs... :/

You weren't going to get a PG at pick 30

 

[RipCity32]

So much for Terrence being one of the most talented players in the NBA.

 

[Whisper]

But we do have one, he just doesn't fcking play much because PJ is still in love with Fisher.

 

[jarrod2323]

from what they said on news tonight, the 1st round HOU sent is lottery-protected. so they gave up a non-lottery 1st rd pick for a lottery 1st rounder --

not only that, Battier is nearing the end of his contract and career. so, who better to tutor TWill? plus, he becomes a great 6th man to spell Battier and KMart.

Chase Budinger has to be worrying some, though LOL


as for Lakers, not sure why they're giving up the 1st also, but I guess they really like journeyman Joe Smith.

Nets, on other hand, good luck with Sasha and still NOT getting Melo

There now you can see him in a Nets uniform.

I've also found pics of him in a rockets jersey, bulls jersey, atlanta jersey, and Knicks.

 

[Mexi]

Jarrod, I was wondering why they gave up the 1st too

but after reading some things, saves money to re-sign Shannon Brown

 

[youngguru]

I <Censored>ing love this to the max.
We get 2 first round picks and a huge expiring.
AMAZING DEAL FOR THE NETS.

Why would someone wanna save money for Shannon Brown?

 

[DJT]

Because the dude is playing amazing right now. If he keeps it up he could win 6th man of the year.

Sasha is expiring, I doubt he will even play more than 3 min a game.
We should be saying good luck with T-Will. I loved the dude but he is so undisciplined on and off the court. He constantly turns the ball over and settles for jumpers. Have fun with Sean Williams part two.

SMH @ you Dan lol.
