[Gundress]

The Nets are f*cked.

Deron Williams is going back to his home, Dallas.

[NumberSix]

Nah, Deron and Dwight taking their talents to South Beach

[Clutch]

Nets are screwed

They thought they will get both D-Will and Dwight but as it seems right now they will lose both of them.

[Punpun]

What does "monkey see, monkey do" mean ?

I was going to ask the same question, anyone wanna explain? It's 'Help-an-international-poster-out-day' today.

just because someone else did it (dwight) doesn't mean he is gonna do it.

[TheBluest]

What does "monkey see, monkey do" mean ?

Srsly?


Pun no Pun intended but it's quite obvious what he means here.


He's saying just because Dwight opted in doesn't mean I'm opting in.


Did Deron just refer to he and Dwight as monkeys? Uh Oh this is going to upset some people in certain circles.

Props to me :rockon:

Deron Williams is racist! He called Howard a monkey.

I know Williams is black

[TheBluest]

That didn't take long as I was saying.....



SO IT BEGINS!

One Man's trash is another Man's treasure......So if New Jersey's Goose is cooked then Next Teams Goose is fresh out the Fryin Pan

[guy]

He already said before that he's opting out no matter what, regardless if he plans on staying or not. Don't get me wrong, I think he's gone, but this isn't indicating anything.

[Eric Cartman]

He's got to San Antonio. He was jammin to this in his iPod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMzmSLYaFiM

[It's A VC3!!!]

What could have happened yesterday...

1) Dwight joins the Nets and him and Dwill sign long-term with the Nets.

Instead, Dwight ****s over the Nets and leaves Dwill will a difficult desicion.

Dwill's quote means that he is not going to be like Howard and opt in. He has his own plans. I appreciate Dwill for keeping everything to himself. He doesn't play with the media or the fans, and it's difficult for anyone to assume where he will end up considering he has never said anything thus far indicating otherwise.

[TheBluest]

OH SHEILA I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE


Is That You

Next year D-Will will be READY FOR THE WORLD

[Kingwillball]

It Nets add another All star type Piece this summer they have a Playoff type team and Dwill could stay with Nets.. It is a 2 horse race between between Mavs and Nets though.

[niko]

He's just an angry grouchy guy, the fact he was angry over this question is not an indicator.

If you want an indicator things may be a mess, listen to Billy King adn the rumors coming out of netland at whom they will target in FA.

[PrimeJohnnyDepp]

What does "monkey see, monkey do" mean ?

It's a bi-racial slur toward Dwight Howard. League seems to be loosening it's policies toward bi-racism finally, kudos.


Not racism toward bi-racial people, but bi-racial people's racism towads racial people.

[bmulls]

I think he said he was going to opt out no matter what, even if he resigns with the Nets. He can make more money that way.

[NumberSix]

Technically he's calling himself a monkey

[NumberSix]

Technically he's calling himself a monkey
Using the word "monkey" was the ***** in his armour in this quote.

[bmulls]

But yeah usually when you say "Monkey see monkey do" you are calling the people idiots. Definitely sounds like hes pissed at Dwight

[Whoah10115]

It doesn't mean follow Dwight. It means he's not a puppet.


It means, just because you got Gerald Wallace and are trying to make me stay doesn't mean I'm going to do it.


He'll evaluate his options.




He should said this isn't twitter... People follow me not the other way around

That's pretty good.

[The Macho Man]

A monkey in silk is a monkey no less.

[NumberSix]

Lol. No you aren't. Lol. It's just a phrase that means to follow someones lead. Jesus christ dude. Shape up.

[niko]

He's more saying he'snot stupid, not blindly following, not that he is. People have never heard Monkey See Monkey Do before?

[RoseCity07]

Haha thanks for the first round pick NJ. Enjoy that 10 million dollar contract of Gerald Wallace too. LOL. There's a guy that will opt-in.

[KOBEtherealKing]

long idiom short: I'm not a copycat

[bagelred]

Its not monkey see, monkey do.

That is so f-cking racist. Maybe Dwight looks like a monkey in Deron's eyes, but the REST of us judge a man by his character.


Disgusted.

[bmulls]

You think you're disgusted now, wait till the offense is run thru Carmelo for the rest of the season.

Again, he's calling himself the monkey.

He's saying he's the monkey and just because he sees Dwight do something, he will not follow suit or imitate like a monkey.

[LA_Showtime]

"Monkey See, Monkey Do" :biggums:

[R.I.P.]

In the last 48 hours the Nets GM has done the following things:

1. He has given the Blazers a lottery pick for a player the Blazers were willing to lose for free and unwilling to keep (if Wallace exercised his player option).

2. He said his 15-29 franchise is in "WIN NOW"-mode (increasing the chances to lose the lottery protection on the Blazers pick, they should have never given up in the first place)

3. He said the Mavs don

[HurricaneKid]

So many people here don't grasp the issue at hand. We are essentially moving from one CBA (player friendly) to a new CBA (team friendly). Signing an extention can now only add 2 years to a deal. No reason for a player to sign an extention. And since both D12 and DWill had options to sign new 5 yr Bird rule deals with their existing teams it ONLY makes sense to opt out. DWill is going to guarantee an extra 70M by opting out and re-signing with NJ. Thats almost twice his career earnings to this point.

EVERYONE said no matter what players wouldn't sign extentions or waive their option (CP3 just "promised" to) because it would be idiotic to do. Which is one of the reasons I smacked my head so hard about how Dwight handled this.

I was obviously not the only one. From DWade:
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/17821584/dwyane-wade-mocks-dwight-howards-statement-of-loyalty

DWill is obviously ticked at him too as his decision to do the right thing for him will now be viewed as selfish because Dwight did something so stupid.

[Eric Cartman]

New Jersey trading their first round pick for Gerald Wallace is the stupidiest trade i've remember. The only thing that could save them is that they get that top 3 pick. So they should tank if possible.

[ErhnamDjinn]

Oh I wish Deron goes to Dallas, we need a breath of fresh air, from the Odom debacle. Then Dwight can follow the year later when Marion and most likely Kidd are gone.

[Floppy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hynDOZFlSYY

According to this video he's calling Dwight a white guy who's yet to come out.

:no:

[Riley Martin]

At least he's being decisive and giving a firm answer to what he'll do..

hopefully he doesn't flip flop back and forth like Dwight did

[LABean]

If he doesn't come to L.A., I hope he stays with the Nets.

[outbreak]

Dallas dynasty forming, D-will will go there in free agency. Dwight will force us to move him there next season.

[eazyduzzit10]

It's not racist at Howard because D-Will is actually referring to himself as the monkey

[KOBEtherealKing]

monkeys and cats what?
Rofl that's what it means

[DaHeezy]

It's not racist at Howard because D-Will is actually referring to himself as the monkey

I've repeated myself about this, dont' worry, common sense isn't a big thing around these parts

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Haha, I love how he refers to them as "monkeys"!

Is Deron white?

[pegasus]

Why do people consider it racist when someone calls a black person monkey?:confusedshrug: What does that make Darwin then, God(!) of racism?

[PHaYze]

Haha, I love how he refers to them as "monkeys"!

Is Deron white?
he's half monkey

[PrimeJohnnyDepp]

"Monkey sees (Deron),
monkey does (Deron)."

Got it now. It's not toward Howard guys. I figured it out.

[bluechox2]

i cant see deron going to dallas...aging players all around him

orlando might be a good spot, maybe force the nets to trade him

[ConanRulesNBC]

LMAO! So why didn't the Nets try and trade him before the deadline? Now he's going to leave and the Nets will get nothing and they gave up everyone to get him. Time to blow it up in New Jersey or Brooklyn.

[Mavsfan31]

About half of the mavs roster is free agents after this yr. Kidd, Terry, etc. They can sign younger players to fill around dirk and deron.

[Jameerthefear]

Is there any way the Magic can acquire him?

[Eric Cartman]

Is there any way the Magic can acquire him?

Nelson, Big Baby (or Reddick), Ryan Anderson + 2 first rounders?

That's probably not enough just throwing stuff out there.

[Meticode]

This is bad PR for the Nets in my opinion. With his actions, especially if he doesn't resign it's saying "I don't know what the Brooklyn Nets are doing, but I don't want nothing to do with it." Which could make it difficult to lure anyone there.

[DaHeezy]

"Monkey sees (Deron),
monkey does (Deron)."

Got it now. It's not toward Howard guys. I figured it out.

This is the reason why maybe threads should be read thoroughly before responding.

Everybody knew from the get go it was a stupid move by the nets. Nothing more nothing less. They took a gamble and lost. If Dwight landed in NJ, it is a much different story. If players can't understand that, fck me.
