We hear lots of names thrown around. Deron, Kidd, Johnson, Howard, Wallace, resigning Lopez.......just not sure they can pay all those guys or which guys they really want.

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
4 years, 40 million? Too much
-
Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
The deal is a four year deal worth 40 million. For two of those years he is worth it but those last two years he will definitely be traded or amnestied. Prok will have to soak 10-20 million of his own dollars with this huge contract if we plan to acquire howard and Joe Johnson . Depending on what we give up of course.

There is no amnesty. The amnesty rule is a one time thing for players ALREADY under contract when the lockout happened. There is no amnesty for Wallace ever.

[QUOTE]Teams will not be able to use the new "stretch" provision on players they acquire via the amnesty process. The stretch provision will allow teams to waive a player and stretch the annual cap hit well into the future.
For instance: If you release a player with two years and $20 million left on his deal, you could stretch the cap hit over five seasons

Wallace is a free agent tho. Maybe 3 years was never an option for the Nets.

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
Good signing if they can get Dwight Howard and Deron Williams.
Potential lineup?
Deron Williams
MarShon Brooks/Anthony Morrow
Gerald Wallace
?
Dwight Howard

Dwight will come with Hedo and Hedo will come with Jameer and Rashard through free agency.
Brooklyn Magic lmao.

It would be sad if that happened. I highly doubt Jameer or Rashard would come though.

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
Why did they give up a lottery pick to get Wallace? Couldn't they just have waited a half season until now to sign Wallace anyway? Wallace was going to opt out either way and he would have been Unrestricted.
:hammerhead:

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
LOL oh Billy King, the new Otis Smith. Man oh man. Do the Nets even have money to trade for Dwight Howard still? How would this work?

For that money they could have signed Wallace outright and kept the 6th pick. Nobody would have touched Wallace for that deal. :oldlol:

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
That seems like a lot of money. It will be worth it if they can trade for Dwight, though. Wallace, ideally, is a third or fourth option at best.

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
Why so much?? The 4/24 would have been a great deal but 10 a year?
-
Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
Sizable expirers are trade-able
Deron is obviously a Wallace supporter.
-
Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
At this point, only Jordan Williams, MarShon Brooks, Anthony Morrow and Johan Petro are under contract. So even with the addition of 10 million worth of Wallace, the Nets have a ton of space to move about and add players. I'm sure Petro (And possibly Morrow) will be on the move anyway.
-
Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
boom.
To me that is a strong indicator that DWill will sign with Nets (as many expect).
Unless its part of a big S&T

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
NOOOOOOOOOO, why would you stay on the Nets Gerald?
-
Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
Not an awful amount, but I think they should've gotten him for less. Like NetsDaily has been saying, they're going to make use of the stretch exception on this one.

You want to give an all-star/all defensive player 6 million per year? His numbers went down because he was traded twice in the last two years. He's still really good.

I think to start the Nets had $39M in cap space. So they still have more than enough to sign Deron Williams and Brook Lopez plus more.

A full year of stability, training camp, Deron Williams and Brook Lopez will be great for Gerald Wallace. I loved watching him play on the Nets. Just think that they overpaid a tad. Not much, but a little bit.
-
Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
They have cap space to sign Deron Williams as well as some role players. They're going to trade for Howard, no need to have cap space.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Seems like a couple teams are willing to rent out Dwight for the season.

Brook Lopez is greater and more needed by Orlando than what those teams can offer.

I'd rather just start from scratch rather than have Lopez be the center piece of my team. On a side note, what if Lopez doesn't wanna go to Orlando?

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
SUCH A TERRIBLE MOVE....
Sounds like the nets overpaid by ALOT when then the truth is that no other team would dare give him anywhere close to this.
Brooklyn better hope they get Deron And Dwight or this franchise is going nowhere for a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG time.

Re: Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets
Over paid by a lot? That is exaggeration. We needed a SF badly now we got a top tier one who can run with Williams.

Meh.. Maybe a little but IF Nets are to get D12 and keep Williams and want to contend with Likes of the HEat need a Wing Defender like Wallace. Plus its not like he is already 32 or 33 getting a 4 year deal. Now Question is there any possible way Nets have a lineup of Dwill, JJ, Wallace and D12 next season ???
