Nets Are Scorching

In his defense Chris Mannix established himself as an idiot sometime ago.

I do agree with saving some money. The Petro signing was pointless. We have Zoubek. he will play for under 1 mil per year. But the Farmar and Outlaw signings are great. Petro doesn't deserve more than 1 mil per year.

i meant to say troy murphey in my last post

obviousley the idiot doesnt know what he is talking about. we have preserved good cap space for next year. and now we are going to have even more. just heard that we are shippilg c. lee off in a 5 player-4 team trade. and we are getting back trpy murphey (who is in the last year of his contract). so thats more space for us next year...

Mannix is a GIANT TURD!!!

The issue is not preserving enough cap room for this season; it is ensuring that cap room is available for future seasons. While I agree that the Farmar and Morrow signings were quite good, committing so much money to Petro and Outlaw in future years was a mistake. For example, if the Nets want to trade for Chris Paul, one of the assets they can offer is their ability to take on Okafor and Posey as well. Taking on those contracts becomes harder, however, with committed to Outlaw and Posey, as New Orleans would not want to take those contracts back. It means that the Nets would have to send back even more young assets, just to make the numbers work under the cap. This is just one example of the problem.

LMAO

In his defense Manix had already proved he an idiot on many occasions. So nothing new here.

but i LOVE the Talking Heads!!!

Yeah; You usually can tell when they are "mailing" it in. I guess they have deadlines and commitments to meet. He makes it sound like the Nets are paying Outlaw, Morrow, Farmar and Petro 57 million dollars for this year alone. I love his final quote. "The Nets are pointed in the right direction, but it's going to take them a long, long time to get there".
What the heck does that mean? Where is "there"?
Playoffs?
Championship?
Brooklyn?
"long, long time"
1 year?
2 years?
10 years?
How about the part about Thorn "abruptly" walking away from the Nets. Duh, his contract was up dude and he stayed on the job until he finished his business with the Nets.

that's a pretty gentle indictment of national writers dude. admonish mannix for his completely boring synthesis of what web writers/bloggers have been saying for weeks, not some minor point in an all-around "professional" but devoid of any soul division round-up
