ha, i love the Nets. not at all. they are about as smart as boston right now.
Vince Carter has 1 year at 16 million left on his contract, which he opted out of to become a free agent. but Nets owner/ president Rod Thorn is trying to sign him to a 4 year 60+ million dollar deal. this is just another huge contract (if signed) that is going to blow up in their face. Vince Carter is no longer a franchise player. IMO

idk, this could actually be good for boston and really help sell some tickets.
they now have ray allen, paul pierce, and kevin garnett.. they might know what they are doing in Boston after all.

They might know what they're doing if selling tickets is the goal. Winning games? Not so much.

Hmm, idk they have a pretty weak division and are going to be much better than last season.
KG and Pierce should be a nice scoring duo. Ray Allen is still good even though he is aging.

we just have different values for KG.. I think hes a great player who has never had the help.. I think when you add 2 scorers like Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to the puzzle then you have a dominant scoring machine.

KG is stupid for taking this deal.
All that talk about not wanting a trade unless its to a contender...And then you go to BOSTON?
Its so sad that he played 12 years in Minnesota and we didn't get to see what he was really capable of, and now he's going to fucking BOSTON?
It would have been nice to see what you could do KG.
I dont know anyone who thinks that Ray Allen and Paul Pierce together make a team a contender. What is Ray Allen? 50?
There arent enough shots in a game for the three of those guys to get comfortable.
This will be a train wreck.

I don't know man, the East fucking sucks. KG and Allen and Pierce should be good enough to contend for a year or two at least.
However, did you see what the trade was? KG for Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Ryan Gomes and two first round players. That's a whole fucking basketball team.

Ray Allen is only 32... i know you were exaggering with 50, but keep in mind he played 55 games last season and averaged 40 minutes per game with over 26 points per game. not to mention hes pretty good 3 ball shooter.
Pierce added another 25 points per game
you add Garnett, a forward who can rebound exceptionally, and his 24 points per game.
thats 75 points out of 3 guys. thats a 3 headed monster. keeping them healthy will be the only issue I forecast.
i could see boston getting a wild card in the east.

Man, this is heated lol. I agree, this could be a train wreck. I mean, I don't believe in jinxs', but a LOT of great players have hit 30ish and all of a sudden.... boom!!! and gone. BUT, if they stay healthy, the garden WILL rock, the city will be buzzing from day one, and if they can catch a year (or 2) of health, they'll come up great. On the other hand....
