Gerald Wallace to sign with the Nets

[raprap]

Billy King

[R.I.P.]

I hope it is true, that it is 40/4. If the Mavs don

[Meticode]

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.

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.

[longtime lurker]

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?

[HylianNightmare]

Giving up on Johnson?

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

And here's the Russian GM to King:

[LA_Showtime]

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.

[NOHCP3]

Why so much?? The 4/24 would have been a great deal but 10 a year?

[D12"Magic"]

Sizable expirers are trade-able

Deron is obviously a Wallace supporter.

[Silenttristo]

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.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

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

[ProfessorMurder]

NOOOOOOOOOO, why would you stay on the Nets Gerald?

[ZHAKIDD532]

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.
