Nailed it. Maybe the Nets will bring in Sloan now that Deron realizes how good he had it.

He's not a good coach so I'm not surprised.

Stupid that Avery goes before Billy King. Their talent was overrated going into this year.

I'm not sure about that. When Humphries was playing they were a good team. Lopez has been really good when healthy. I don't know why Avery doesn't seem to like Humphries though. He's the perfect complement to Brook because he's a great rebounder and can still space the floor with that 15 footer.

Brook has been great. Coming into the year everyone talked about Deron, JJ, and Wallace like they were the prime versions of themselves though. Deron hasn't been a star in two years, JJ is an inefficient scorer, and Wallace isn't near the defense/rebounding force that he used to be. I don't like Avery and obviously he has to go before the players but I don't think he had as much to work with as people believed.

Deron, JJ, and Wallace


Oh yeah that's fair. I have no idea why people think Wallace is still good. He's an good defender, but has no ability to shoot.

We'll see. I think they're better than they've played. Maybe Deron will be freed and feel more comfortable in the offense again.
