Teletopez Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Damion James seems near ready to return after he broke his foot back in December. There was a chance he would play tonight against Boston, but it looks like he's headed to the Springfield Armor to play some D-League ball and return after the All-Star break. Avery said he would be the starting SF, meaning Outlaw is sixth man, the role he had in Portland. I'm hoping this will set Outlaw's season on the right track, because it's been an ugly season for him, and it seems no one is willing to trade for his 5-year, $35M contract. Avery has said that Jersey is only focusing on talks to deal Murphy. Other teams seem to be holding off on trading for him, hoping the Nets are forced to buy him out so that pieces don't have to be given up in order to get him. Not too long ago, Woj and Al Iannazzone reported that talks between the Nets and Nuggets have been renewed. It's unclear whether this is a leak by Jersey to force New York to offer more pieces. Woj says they could be talking about a smaller package involving Favors and picks. Edited February 17, 2011 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Yesss... I expected that Prokhorov just canNOT afford to let Melo go to Knicks. If Melo goes to Knicks to join Amare, his "mission" of turning Knicks fans into Nets fans is over right there. Even when the franchise moves to Brooklyn, it'll be an almost impossible challenge to compete with Knicks and Melo and Amare. And he might as well put Nets back on sale. Prokhorov simply must win the Melo sweepstakes, or it's over for him. It will be as much about getting Melo as it is about preventing him from going to Knicks.

Guru Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Not even going to front here... even after all this bull[expletive] I still want Melo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 They definately should have handled that Murphy situation better. I highly doubt we get anything for him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
