![]() As is often the case, I don't understand your post...are you saying that acquiring one of the top PG's in the NBA is a bad deal?

Give Utah credit. They took advantage of a desperate owner that was trying to save a little face. |

![]() I dont think this is a bad trade for NJ
They traded a top pick in a weak draft, a protected pick, a fair PG and a pretty soft looking Favors for one of the 3 best PG's in the league. Sure it could backfire if Williams opt's to sign somewhere else but they gave up less than NY did for a better player. Plus NJ has a lot of cap space and still has draft picks. They have been peddling Harris for 2 years and never found taker and Favors looks like he is not going to be an impact player, maybe ever. |

![]() Billy King's track record in Philadelphia gives me little reason to give him the benefit of the doubt. If Derrick Favors turns out to be as big a stiff as he appears right now, this is a good trade. If he doesn't, not so good. A great point guard makes everyone around him better, Devin Harris did not.

![]() Favors may become serviceable one day. Doesn't look like that day will come under this rookie contract though. Harris is a slightly above average pg, not worth near his salary. The draft has little to offer this year. The Nets could have stood pat and remained a lower level team or they could have made this move. In the short term, it improves them and even if Williams doesn't re-sign, it shows other potential free agents that NJ is serious about turning around and if they are able to keep him, he's a huge drawing card, along with a super-rich owner and a new arena. I didn't mention the move to NY because actually, where they are now is as close to Manhattan as Brooklyn is and as easy to get to, if not easier.

![]() Yes and whats your point that he can fill 18k empty seats and make Brook Lopez rebound? Unless they resign him they will be hawking him a year from now. They do have money to spend but its not like they have a lot. They are 20 mil under the current cap assuming he gets max money how much do they have for star 2?
