Moving JJ was the first good move! Devin will be an awesome addition at the point. Apparently they are trying to move Hinrich and sign Flynn as a back up to Devin.

i like the devin harris marvin wiliams deal for the hawks... devin struggled majorly since his trade to utah, so it gives him a chance to resurrect his career, solid 1-2 punch at pg now with him and teague, only question is do they start him or teague or do they play devin at the 2 which he can do... marvin has been a disappointment since he was drafted so maybe it is the spark his career needs, you can feel a deal coming on though in utah with millsap jefferson williams favors evans all in front court

also nets starting to shape a little... you'd presume they re-sign deron then have joe johnson beside him at the 2, crash at the 3... off the bench marshon brooks the lopez at the 5... need a pf and some role players to fill out roster, probably re-sign gerald green who ended up playing well since his signing there... probably gonna be hard to secure dwight now though
1 - deron
2 - jj
3 - crash
4 - humphries??
5 - lopez

bench - marshon brooks, green??

I've read reports they can't afford Dwight now!

No need to get another starting PF, Hump was pretty much the Nets best player last year, apart from Deron of course.

So Marvin Williams at SF now?

Meaning Hayward at the 2 i think

Marvin was initially drafted as a PF I believe. Not sure what he is now.

I LOVE what Atlanta is doing right now.

Trade Joe Johnson to New Jersey Brooklyn for a bunch of expiring contracts and Marvin Williams' contract to Utah. Suffer through this season with the junk and end up with a lottery pick and enough cap space to make a run at both Dwight & CP3 as FA's next off-season.

No point at PF

You have Milsap and Favors backing it Up

 

[ozballer23]

Stacked at pf! Maybe one of those guys can be moved?!

Williams was drafted as SF and still plays that position. So that leaves Jefferson, Favors and Millsap to fight for the minutes at PF and C. That basically gives each of them about 32 minutes on average. That should be OK right? Then play Williams at SF, Hayward at SG and .... at PG? Other than backups, who the hell is gonna play pretty much the most important position on the floor? Not entirely sure that Utah has thought this through, or is one of the forward/centres heading off in another trade, this time for a PG?

MO Williams at the Point

Don't forget about Enes Kanter too. He'll see more mins this year!

Actually, I thought I read a while back that Utah were looking to trade Big Al? Seems strange to take on such a hefty contract in Williams.

I hope Johnson coming to Brooklyn doesn't effect the development of brooks, I like that kid.

You happy with Devin's new real estate?

 

[loafic]

i didnt add kanter on my list as he is a centre and he should likely start?

 

[lukesicari]

I hope the Cavs can get Jonny Flynn. He would be a good back-up for Kyrie and will be what Ramon Sessions was for us before he got traded.

I can't believe Dwight is fighting over what team he wants to go to....be grateful your in the NBA!! The more you act like this, the less teams will want you...

They are actually pretty good friends, Marshon played with Joe a lot during his college years (work outs,pickup games) so JJ will be a mentor for him i guess.. with Morrow moving there is plenty time at SG.

 

[ozguy3825]

Where to now for CP3? after declining the contract offer

across town for Gasol + someone. Making Clips with Gasol and Griffin up forward and LA fixing their PG problem

 

[ozguy3825]

i dont rate Johnson that highly, not letting go and any big names but all that and i heard maybe even a draft pick added all for Johnson pfffft.

 

[spurlec]

Still don't understand the Dwight Howard craze, yes he can rebound yes he can block a shot but no he still can't shoot a free throw and he still does not have much offense, most importantly he is a full blown jebroni!!!!
