Hello Brooklyn: Say Hello To Your Brooklyn Nets!

[YoonJay18]

Are you both currently living in NJ? Or both of you have roots in NJ (NJ native) just curious. Thanks

I'm born and raised here in the Philippines. I'm just a die-hard Nets fan.

Why'd you ask?

[YoonJay18]

Isn't there a recent article (like just a day fresh) that Deron would want to play for LA. But he did say in the end that he will only consider other teams if the Nets can't get him some help.

One thing's for sure... Deron Williams holds the fate of the whole FA crop. Once Deron makes a decision, everyone else follows.

Just like what Dwight said, he also prefers LA. But both he and Deron's top preference is Brooklyn.

As I've said, it all depends on how Billy King will build this roster. Prokhorov already said that keeping Deron is their priority. And I'm confident that Billy King will make the right decision and give Deron a competitive roster.

He's probably just wondering how come two Pinoys are supporting a team like the Nets. Let's face it. Sa New Jersey nga mismo hindi sinusuportahan ang Nets masyado eh. Tayo pa kayang mga Pinoy.

At least we can say that we're fans since Day 1. I expect some Nets fans nung panahon nina Kidd eh magbabalikan.

Hey, once upon a time, I liked watching the Nets too.. Kidd-Kittles-Jefferson-Martin, wow that's how an offense looks like. Kenyon Martin was a beast.

Malas lang at natapat sila sa Lakers at Spurs. Parehong may dominant big man. Big men sa Spurs.

But still, pretty proud of K-Mart against that Spurs series. He held his own even if it was basically him against the Twin Towers on offense and defense.

It was the first time that I heard of the term "Beast of the East". Astig kase para sa Nets. Hehe.

[LeBroom]

I thought K-Mart had a shot to be a Top 3 or even the BEST PF in the League.

He had it all, Elite defense, Rebounding, Explosive scoring. I still preferred Amar'e over him because of sheer excitement that the Suns had with him. But if we're talking about complete package, it was K-Mart.

What made me come to a conclusion that Amar'e is INDEED the better one among the two though is that Amar'e came back from 2 micro-fracture surgeries STILL a Superstar. While K-Mart was just a shell of his former self.

Back then, hindi si Amar'e ang rival ni K-Mart. Si Antoine Walker. I remember having a long debate back then kung sino better. Well, I guess that question is answered now.

I never said they were rivals. I was talking about my views on who would be the Top PF. Of course Walker was his rival, it's always Boston vs New Jersey back then right?

Aside from Walker's ring... Those two are nowhere near Amar'es caliber. (but again, K-Mart was right there)

[YoonJay18]

Both of you. Don't you dare forget Jason Collins. He's a legend in the only two NBA Finals appearance this Nets franchise had.

Back in those days, Jason Kidd was a helluva player. He can score, he can pass, he can defend. Do-it-all guy. And I always loved to see his razzle-dazzle fastbreak layups in the open court. As what MakaveliLives said, those were the days....

[MakaveliLives]

Man, we can't catch a break. Oh, well. No lottery pick this year. I feel that it was worth the gamble, though. I don't think there's any player available at the 6th pick that will be better than Crash in the next 3-4 years. But a top 3 pick would have been a nice icing on the cake.

Looks like if the Nets FO will need to trade Lopez and Swag if they want to get D12.

On that note, WoJ reported that it's D12 or bust for the Nets. We'll lose D-Will if we don't get D12. But D-Will denied the report via his Twitter account.

actually it was kidd-kittles-van horn-martin tapos naging kidd-kittles-jefferson-martin-mutombo na naging mourning pa nga... ang hilig ng nets kumuha ng semi retired big man noon nakaka asar...

naalala ko pa playoff series vs detroit *** year n ng champ ang detroit.. ng lead pa ang nets sa series na yun 2-2 ata tapos game 5 3 OT's si White Mamba ang pumatay sa Detroit kasi ubos ang players sa foul trouble..

Si Todd McCullough na professional pinball player na ngayon! Haha!

Mas lalo ako naging fan ni K-Mart during their series against the Spurs. Siya lang ang tumatrabaho on offense and defense against the Twin Towers.

I remember that Detroit game like it was just yesterday. Lupet ni White Mamba nun! He can play naman talaga eh. Ginawa nalang katawa-tawa.

Yup!

I think they're still going after D12 with a package built on Lopez and Brooks (something that I don't agree with). But first thing's first. They only have 4 players under contract so they're going to sign their players first.

They're working bringing back AK47 and maybe Nenad to the states. There's also Bogdanovic.

They're also targetting Ersan and KG.

I haven't heard of any news regarding a potential trade with Houston. One thing's for sure, BK will be moving heaven and earth to make a good trade. He's getting a lot of heat for losing our lottery pick.

New city, same bad luck

Not really bad luck. More like lack of good luck. Medyo mababa din yung chances na makuha yung top 3 pick eh. Ang lagay eh sakto lang kase 6th pick nakuha nila eh rank 6 talaga sila. We're hoping for Lady Luck to smile our way but it didn't happen.

Can't wait for July 1 to see kung may bad luck talaga.
