Guru Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/25279/can-new-jersey-nets-nab-another-star Earlier I detailed the New York Knicks’ chances of landing another superstar in 2012. The short version? Not likely. The Knicks are unlikely to have the salary cap space or the assets to land someone like Chris Paul or Deron Williams in the summer of 2012. Now that the New Jersey Nets have acquired Deron Williams, what is their cap situation? Will they have space either this summer or in the summer of 2012 to land a superstar? Their best shot at making another splash appears to be during this coming offseason. As of now, the Nets are expected to have $39 million in salaries committed to seven players this offseason -- add in cap holds and the number moves up to a little over $41 million. If the cap were to stay the same, the Nets would have roughly $17 million in space to spend unless they could figure out a way to get players like Travis Outlaw, Johan Petro, Jordan Farmar and Anthony Morrow off their books earlier. No one, however, thinks the cap will stay the same. The current collective bargaining agreement expires on June 30, a day before free agency begins. Owners are pushing for a much more restrictive CBA that will likely lower the cap in 2011, giving the Nets less to work with. Interesting read.

Universe Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I hope they don't just go throwing money around. We need a team with chemistry to have any advantage in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nets Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I can see a guy like David West coming here and playing the four along side Brook. I don't see us in the running for Dwight, Nets are high on Lopez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
