Only 30! Love it how when our players are 30 they are old! Never understood this boner the media have for the Nets, Jacks contract is AWFUL and we would be blasted if we had traded for it, but hey! They got some marginal players who are young!

Why would he feel the need to keep the pressure on? Like Riley isn't going to bother trying unless there is the threat of Lebron leaving?!

Stephen A. said that he has heard that Riles is close to retirement. The guy is annoying but he is pretty dialed in.

Stephan A. has been very quiet of late. When I deduct all the alternatives I don't see lakers as logical choice. Rockets seemingly are not in play and chicago has to deal with uu.
Obviously if Melo goes, be best to get assets in return.
We move forward.

If Melo wants to play with Bron so bad we should be happy to send him there for Wiggins, Bennet and Varejao

Possibly the most unenthusiastic return in quite some time- don't think Melo is particularly happy about returning, and I don't think the fans are particularly excited about him returning on that contract!

You know how Melo feels?
Around here there are some that are about the contract, but the reality has yet to present itself. Lets see what becomes of his decision, his press conference and final numbers which might be less than max. Won't be much, but if it helps get players here then it makes an statemnt.
He might Bolt.
Honestly, I think Phil and Melo was holding off things on the chance that stat/bargs were move then they could work out the contracts for Melo and Bron.

For all his crappy articles, Isola still sometimes gets the scoops
Maybe its what Melo wants leaked. People get take it that he is being an attention grabbing whore the longer it goes on. Funny, Hoops hype has not updated since 1pm today. I wonder if the site is frozen?
Nets Get Jack for Teague who can replace Livingston and Bogdanovic who at age 25 has been seen as a possible lotto type talent if he were in the last few drafts.
Im curious if they bone up and pay Pierce the 9-10 mil he is asking.
Jack Gives BKN a better offensive player if Deron needs extended time to recover from surgery. Rumors of Deron asking for trade I thought were found bogus and refuted by Deron. Besides, its not common to ask for a trade days before scheduled surgery. ITs why I think the rumor was bogus.
Rookie Merkel Brown, marcus Smart's back court mate stands 6-3 with a 6-9 wingspand avged 17pts for the cowboys and shot nearly 40% from the 3. Nets getting sneaky younger and while they lack some first round picks their core is not extremly old. Likely this is Garnetts last year. Big "IF" is Bropez's Foot and Plumlee's developement.
Nets benefit from Jacks salary dump. Yes, Nalod finds the Nets a facinating team to follow! They are very extreme and Billy King is a sort of Mad scientist!
Most media are saying it's not actually confirmed and Melo hasn't made up his mind. While I think Isola is right, I will laugh if he's wrong- it would be a spectacular blunder of epic proportions!

ITs actually my first thought when I saw Jack is 30, seems like he has been around for ever!!!!! Sort of a "Corey Maggette" vampire type!
But when you add a 20 year old, 22, 25 and jack while likely shedding Pierce and Blatch (who is old for how ever old he is.....) you do get younger.
Media has a boner for a team when you hate them! At the same time the home team is unjustly crusified! Right?
Wow, Kobe addressing the media at 6pm- wonder if he's retiring?
Edit- apparently he does this every year, so nothing important
Mike Woodson is joining Doc Rivers coaching staff- hope he handles their defense!
