Netsdaily Fantasy Basketball League Survey
by muwu on Nov 26, 2011 1:37 PM EST
on NetsDaily
I think it'll be fun to have some other basketball interaction here, so why don't we set up a fantasy basketball league for Netsdaily?
In order to make it as enjoyable as possible, chime in with your comments on your preferences and throw in your email address as well for the invite. First 20 (well, 19) makes it in, since both ESPN and Yahoo only let you have 20 per league.

The Nets' Play Style and Identity
by muwu on Jun 17, 2011 1:40 PM EDT
on NetsDaily
One of the main problems of the post-KMart Nets was a lack of identity. They didn't know who they were. Were they a running team? Were they a half court team? Part of this reason was perhaps a mismatch in terms of personnel. While Kidd and Jefferson were holdovers of the run and gun fast breaking teams, Carter and Krstic were more oriented towards a half court game.
The same possible situation is still well and alive right now.

The team to emulate

What is the team to emulate for the Nets? Well it's the very team you were watching nearly a decade ago. The 2001-2003 Nets
A Win-Win-Win scenario

Do me a favor and go over to NetsAreScorching and read the new article posted up there. It does seem to make some good sense to trade Lopez for Dwight, because it can become a win for everyone involved. It would make sense that all parties should want a DH for Lopez trade this summer. Why?

I've seen a lot of proposals so far with a mindset that either expects too much or expects too little.
DeMarcus Cousins rookie retrospective
Looking forward, Cousins remains one of the most enigmatic prospects in basketball even now that he's in the NBA. On one hand, he has extremely strong physical attributes and is capable of being one of the most uniquely dominant centers in the NBA, something that does show up every few games. On the other, he's basically done everything every doubter from the draft process expected him to do, and he has been one of the most inefficient, turnover prone players on one of the worst teams in the league.

Jared Sullinger profile
Sullinger may not carry himself like a star, but there’s no denying that he is one. NBA scouts who attend Ohio State’s games dote on his athleticism, strength and versatility.
"He’s not a one-dimensional guy," one scout said. "He can score better than you think he can from the outside, he rebounds with high energy on both ends, and he’s a lot bouncier and nimble than his body type may suggest."
A different scout said that, along with Sullinger’s size, his biggest strength is his "basketball IQ." He recognizes when to set screens, he has a feel for where his teammates are going to be on the court and he understands different offensive and defensive schemes.

Now that the Melo-saga is over for now, the Nets can start looking at ways to improve the team. What better way than to try out guys for a mere 10 days?

Contract Extensions

Brook Lopez is up for a contract extension next season, so to approximate his worth, let's look back at past extensions.

The creation of the overrated player
by muwu on Nov 7, 2010 8:09 PM EST
on NetsDaily
We like to name a lot of players that we think are overrated or that are being paid like number one guys without being one. Rudy Gay, Joe Johnson, Andre Iguodala, Danny Granger, Carmelo Anthony, etc etc. But it's very easy to take everything outside of its context and forget everything else that was going on that led to them being the players that they are now with the contracts that they have now.
For the most part, all of these guys were just like the guys we have now at the very start: promising young players. What happened in between? Their teams were never able to get the prerequisite talent to add to their teams. These guys then had to be number one guys simply because they were the best guys on the team. They had to keep being the number one guy for so long and had to keep putting up number one guy-like stats that they eventually got paid like a number one guy. Is it any fault of their own that they are paid that much because no one else on their team was better?
This is something that could very easily happen to us. Right now Brook Lopez is our best player. Should he be the number one guy on a team? That much is unclear. But right now he is, because we don't have a lot of other options. And safe to say that by next year, he will be paid like it. Will he live up to the contract? I don't know. But if he doesn't, well you know that other people are going to be saying about him. The exact same things we say about these other players

Does Favors' development have a direct correlation with TWill?
by muwu on Nov 3, 2010 10:15 PM EDT
on NetsDaily
From what we've seen from him so far, Favors will get his points exactly how we expected - offensive rebounds and being fed on fastbreaks and cuts to the hoop. On the 2nd way of getting them, there is one player on the Nets who has done a better job than anyone else individually in finding Favors - TWill.
TWill is sort of like Jason Kidd in that he has good court vision, and he isn't afraid to attempt difficult and risky passes. It doesn't always work out as evidenced by his copious amounts of turnovers, but when it does it's great. TWill is arguably the best natural playmaker on the roster, and the only thing holding him back is his own penchant for turning the ball over.
But Favors' development can be accelerated by TWill in the same way that Kidd made Mikki Moore and all those other guys millionaires - by getting him looks at the right time. Favors' main offensive contribution right now will be dunking, and he needs the ball at the right place at the right time in order to do it.
If TWill and Favors can develop a good chemistry together, we can have our very own modern day version of Kidd to KMart
