Premium Member Sothron Posted July 2, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I can't believe we gave up a six time All Star player for scrubs and a lottery protected first rounder. Whoop de freaking do. Hello lottery. I hope Ferry does a better job than this past draft.Note: I find it amusing we drafted Anthony Morrow 2.0 and now we have Anthony Morrow 1.0.

MrMeltdown Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 This is stupid. Ferry messed up his 1st two transactions with the draft and taking back a pack of newports for a 6 x all-star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeltdown Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Joe was always a person that could be traded because he is top 5 SG in the league. Only people thought he was not able to be traded were those who eat out of others hands instead of thinking for themselves. Horrible trade we still only have trade exceptions and next years crop of FA's is not that good or deep.

HalfHawk Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Adreian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA League source tells Y! that Joe Johnson deal now likely "happens with or without Deron." Nets officials are meeting with Williams right now. Look's like it's a wrap. Done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Wretch Posted July 2, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Not happy to see Joe go. Not at all. Not happy to lose a 6 time All Star for scraps. Not at all. F'ING ELATED TO BE RID OF THAT CONTRACT. Almost in tears that we're actually going to remake this team. We're actually going to do it..... Oh God, it's so long overdue. Barring a complete screw up of this rebuild, this WILL turn out great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurider05 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 we should have gotten Marshon Brooks (a prospect). We got robbed. JJ is overpaid but he is no scrub. We got fleeced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Wretch Posted July 2, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) 1 step back, 2 steps forward!!! HOW CAN YOU BE MAD?! HELL YEAH!That is exactly what this is. We just took the first step in breaking out of being a perpetual 4/5 seed and non-lottery team. Edited July 2, 2012 by Wretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Brooks is Nick Young Jr with more skill and less athleticism. He's not a big deal. He has extremely low bbiq and little athleticism. Edited July 2, 2012 by Joker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txsting Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I can't believe we gave up a six time All Star player for scrubs and a lottery protected first rounder. Whoop de freaking do. Hello lottery. I hope Ferry does a better job than this past draft.Note: I find it amusing we drafted Anthony Morrow 2.0 and now we have Anthony Morrow 1.0.You can't really look at it like that. You must also evaluate what we are to do with the cap space flexibility. Just because that is not a hard asset doesn't mean it isn't the MOST valuable element in the deal. Hell, it looks like we freed up $7M just for this offseason alone. Next year is >$20M savings. Getting a couple of servicable young players and a first rounder is icing on the cake.I get where you're coming from, it's hard to be EXCITED because the team is going backwards on the court in '12/'13. But unlike the last rebuild, we now have some flexibility and some core pieces in place. It won't be a 3-4 year rebuild....this ought to be the quick variety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Let this be a leason to all NBA Teams. Never hire a GM with the initials BK. Who would have guess BK would bail the Hawks out of that contract. I am guessing Deron is close to re-signing. Considering one factor Dirk and Cuban were not even there to meet Deron when he visited the Mavs today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted July 2, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Wait, we SnT for Deshawn Stevenson. WT. Man. Ferry sucks.I'm not an expert but i'm guessing that's what it took for the salaries to match up. He's old if he's getting a 3 year deal though.
