You cannot be serious.

You're assuming one Troy Murphy can stifle Favors' potential? Troy Murphy.

If Favors is that great he will find himself on the floor with plenty of PT.

Having a workhorse like Troy who can shoot a bit is basically the perfect way to welcome Favors into the league.

I said my thoughts in the other thread, but the most spectacular thing is probably unloading James Posey in this whole thing.

Not bad by the nets

It is not the greatest fit in the world but murph will give u rebounding and an outside shot(kinda what the last group thought yi could of done)

I agree with AL3xis that it does not change anything cause u hope favors I starting by January but with murph here u do not know

I think Morrow will be starting now at the 2. Lee was never happy to be in New Jersey from the get go so I am not sad to see him go


The team is becoming interesting though

Still will be tough to make playoffs but they can be right there in the east for the last spot

I'm saying.

I can't remember the last time I saw a perennial All-Star get traded in consecutive summers.  What are the Nets thinking?

 

[japanair21]

Troy should be a good compliment for Hibb. He'll crash the boards but won't clog up the lane too much.

New Orleans, what the hell are you doing.

I would have thought Collison would be the one guy they wouldn't trade because they might have to trade Paul, but instead he's the first guy they trade because they want to keep Paul happy.

CP, it's similar to what Cleveland did, but in most trades with Cleveland, they got significant talent upgrades without really giving away anyone special.

 

[JD617]

I had to go back and look up those quotes again.

Better all-around player than Starks.

Next Latrell Sprewell.

Brandon Roy Jr.

Future multiple time All-Star.

Top 3 player in his draft class.

Just got done uploading.

Get mad KLJ.

 

[Master Zik]

NO probably gonna sign or trade for TJ Ford

@55, @1:10, @1:35, @2:07, @2:13, @3:12, @3:27, @3:43, @4:04, @4:15,

Watching that made me question how life after Carlos Boozer will be though. Al Jefferson can't take contact like Booz did, and it'll be interesting to see how Al Jefferson does with a PG like Deron.

Average a triple double...In both REG and Playoffs.

I swear yall be talking like LeBron can do these things at will and he was just taking it easy before. He just gonna flip on the triple double switch and beast for 98 + games

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Also I know not to visit NT at night because of YuKu. But come on...NT not working in the afternoon too?

Why would I be mad? I just feel sorry for you for having to watch all of the Deron Williams footage necessary to make that.

If you put this four-team trade into the Trade Machine, it doesn't affect a single team's record. Never seen that before.

 

[franchise 55]

New Orleans lost.

Lateral moves!

Marco will be decent off the bench, he has SOME handles, but he's first and foremost a shooter. He might be able to give the Hornets back-up PG minutes, I wouldn't be shocked if they did that if they didn't try and get another PG.

My favorite was that he was a more talented John Starks.

Wrong team, wrong player.

I meant Brook Lopez. They'll both crash the boards on defense, but Troy shouldn't get in Brook's way on offense.

You should have put the highlight of deron embarrassing jason terry on there 

 He also mad jaque vaughn fall before, don't think i saw that on there

 

[japanair21]

Tim Thomas agrees to one year deal with Mavs, not surprising.

 

[japanair21]

KLJ, who the Hornets got under contract and on the roster right now?

Ariza, Belinelli, Gray, Okafor, Paul, Songaila, Sojakovic, Thornton, West.

Is that it?

Pondexter and Brackins haven't signed their rookie deals yet as far as I know.

 

[kiddin like jason]

[h5][/h5]They both signed over a month ago. But yes, that's everyone.

Okay cool thanks.
