Personally, I like what they're doing....Smith has been unhappy in ATL for
a while and Gasol would benefit from a fresh start.
I thought Twovles were going to trade for Gasol, they had a lot of expiring deals, to work with.
3-4 players, if Lakers were willing to trade earlier, would have been able to dump some salary off, and keep whoever they please.
A combination of their choice of good young players/role players like Beasley, JJ Barea, Webster, AR, Derrick Williams, Brad Miller *expiring team option*, Darko, Wesley Johnson and maybe 1st round pick. Some of those young legs, would be able to restore Lakers bench, and most importantly, many 1year deals if they don't fit.
While Twolves would have a great fit, ball movement, and options with a core of
Rubio/Ridnour
Budlinger
Batumm
Love
Gasol/ Nikola Pekovic
with some players that the Lakers leave out, to be on the bench.
Btw, does anyone know if Budlinger's option was picked up? Because if not he is a UFA, I don't recall reading that the Twolves picked it up...
Joe Johnson may be the most overrated player in the league.
JR Smith would have had the same career if he was the #1 option on a team. And I don't even like JR Smith.

He's up there, as is the Deron Williams we've seen in the past 1 1/2 years. If JJ is the their only major acquisition this summer, they still won't be a playoff team.

They'll be a playoff team for sure. They just won't get out of the first or second round. Ever.
Dudes are really trying to hate on Deron Williams? Williams is better than Chris Paul.

No he's not. Deron is awesome but hasnt been the guy he was earlier in his career since joining the Nets. Whether its injuries or apathy, he's been Marburyesque without the head case aspect.
Clippers are not a playoff team without CP3. He's the best PG in the game and makes everyone better.

The Utah teams he lead had MARGINALLY better talent than the Nets and he lead them deep in the west. He made everyone around him better. He was special. He hasn't been special in a year and a half. If you watch some Nets games you'll see how his head has not been in it a lot of games.
Look at the game he torched Lin. He wanted hat game badly, so they won.

I compared him to Marbs because while Marbs always put up numbers, he didn't make anyone better. And while with the nets Deron hasn't been the special player he was in Utah where he didn't have a crazy amount of talent around him either.

If they are willing to trade for Joe Johnson, a max deal for Harden will be better to put OKC to the test.
Its really stupid. Had they not traded for Gerald Wallace they could of traded for Harden. OKC would of moved him I believe for the 6th and the other first rounder and Morrow or Brooks.Then they would of had a cheap player locked up for 1 year. Then U resign Williams.If u dont lock up Wallace U have cap room for Howard.

there were some quotes last year, i think, that sounded awfully marburyesque, as i recall.
we shall see.
It looks like they see Gerald Wallace as one of the premier defenders that is cost efficient vs Lebron James.
Deron Williams
Joe Johnson
Gereld Green
G Wallace
Lopez
Kidd
Marshon Brooks
Vet Min players
rookies

4 years 40 million and the 6th pick in the draft for a declining player is cost efficent
At least we didnt give up the 6th pick and 10 million a year for Gerald Wallace. Guy will give the Nets 13 and 7. Billy King is lucky Dwight Howard is trying to force his way there because he seems about half as clueless as Scott Layden

considering the assets we gave up for Melo and that he makes twice as much as Gerald Wallace.
Wallace might not be nearly the scorer Melo is, but he has greater versatility, defense, and has no ego problems.
He is good size and athleticism, whether he is worth trading the 6th pick for, is another story.
Gerald Wallace can play a Shawn Marion role, while Melo, only know's how to play TEAM ME ball.
No player even at pick 6, would be able to defend better than Gerald Wallace on Lebron with his size, athleticism, and all round game.
They would be better offensive options, but that isn't the reason why they got Gerald Wallace.
Chris Broussard joe johnson coming to the nets. Nets out of Howard chase
Aldridge is reporting JJ deal is just about done. Says his source says it will happen with or without commitment from D-Will.
It looks like Nets will be able to keep Green and Brooks.
Wowwwww..jjohnson to nets
