Nitro Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Maybe a little over-priced, but I'm a big Humphries fan. Awesome rebounder, decent defender, and last year he showed he has a pretty damn good face-up game. He definitely is a huge addition to a really strong starting 5.

ChosenOne Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I wonder how Wallace feels being the least paid player in the starting line up at only 10 million lmao. Luxury tax is chump change for this owner why not pay what you have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 It is always horrible when teams outbid themselves. Oh well, not like this is crippling, it is only 2 years. He is serviceable, but holy shit man, this is crazy. I guess if you're gonna pay Wallace 10M, Lopez 15M, you just get to the point you say oh [expletive] it. Billy King's got the easiest job in the NBA. Big market that superstars want to play in despite management's incompetence, and an owner who doesn't give a [expletive] how much money you spend.

This is actually one of the better signings for the Nets as they get a 10 rebound per night guy on a two-year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted July 17, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 There's actually some good in this, for those of you who don't think he's worth that amount of money: it's a two-year deal, and teams like Cleveland and Charlotte were having trouble getting him to accept anything less than three years. So, if Howard is SOMEHOW on the Magic in February, and Brooklyn decides to re-visit those talks for Dwight, it won't be as hard moving Humphries.

Big market that superstars want to play in despite management's incompetence, and an owner who doesn't give a [expletive] how much money you spend.The job is certainly easier when you have money and are in a big market, but King and Marks still deserve credit for a lot of what they've done, both before and after this Brooklyn stage. Before, they made the Deron trade, which basically saved the franchise, and drafted MarShon Brooks. Afterwards, they traded for JJ at the right time to keep Deron from going to Dallas, they put themselves in position to trade for Dwight after landing JJ, which no one saw coming, and they've done a nice job with bringing on overseas talent. Also, about Humphries, the Nets aren't just outbidding themselves. He was originally looking for three to four years, but the Nets kept it to two and raised the annual value. Makes for a nice expiring next year. Edited July 18, 2012 by #HelloBrooklyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I like this signing for the Nets...Humphries is a good you can win with. Solid defensively, plays hard, and a damn good rebounder. Not a terrible offensive game, either. Lord knows you need rebounding with this roster. Edited July 18, 2012 by JYD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
