The Nets don't have the cap space to make a more significant move in free agency and there aren't a lot of quality players left, so I'd say "beggars can't be choosers" is a fitting turn of phrase. They're certainly not alone in that respect, you could say that of quite a few teams at the moment.

how in the world dwill got here? :shock: and they never even begged dwill to stay(maybe dallas), that's why crash, JJ were the first ones to be resigned/traded to have that star calliber type of team in their 1st season. he had his options and is certainly mature enough to decide for himself. still surprised huh? really, it's not that easy to accept on what they've become. rather than signing a heartless jeff green or overpaying a back-up center from the bulls to be your starting C, or stick to their 12-70 rooster team, they've manage to resign their star's, and add another to their core players. they have the owner who's willing to spend, and i believe BK spent theirs on good quality proven players this off season, only the lakers top's their effort this year actually..

and about this

i don't see them as the beggars here, i know they are in need of a C/PF, but there are a lot of other options for them. you can't beg for a player to be your 3rd/4th string C/PF off the bench. they just gave him a chance to play, and with all the hype brooklyn having this season, and the opportunity to redeem yourself i think he's made the right choice. maybe if this team was still the NJ NETS, they would, but things have changed now..

whoa, being the 3rd team highest payroll in the NBA, and having the richest owner in sports world? you're just kidding right?

You do know it is an idiom right?

You'd say so yourself they are in need of a 3rd string C/PF but they are not that many left. So they just have to settle with Blatche.

Oh, in case you still can't understand the idiom, this might help you. link

If that idiom isn't to your liking, perhaps "pickings are slim" would accurately describe the situation. That goes for anyone in the league who is looking to bolster their roster with a quality free agent, as there aren't many of them available at this time.

Lay it off man. Nobody's hating the Nets. They ain't even worth the hate, yet. But it's you being annoying, especially with the pics.

This make's my Sig legit.. :cool: :cool:

yeah, you can tell everything you want and talk sh** against me and I'm not even bothered 'bout it. hatin on me would only just feed me up. again if your criticizing pinoys in general from 1 person that's no good use of your brain my friend. i didn't even attack "personally" other people here 'cos i do respect them, but they hit me first. a normal reaction is to hit back/defend your self. do i embarrass myself? would you feel that way when defending yourself? thought this thread was about 12-13 off season? then someone goes for english lessons, even talking about grade school and IQ tests, great..

Can't reply in your own words? Your talking about respect well my friend respect should be earn. If you want anybody to respect you then I suggest you stop posting those insignificant pictures.

Oh, btw I'm also a Pinoy and I think some who reply to you are the same.

well in that case you don't deserve my respect, k? and kindly check your grammar there, "respect should be earn" the heck your checkin' on my "rooster" :lol: , and why should i stop posting pictures? you know what's a meme right? or do you want me to provide a link for you to understand?. always remember, never point a finger when four of your other fingers points back at you..

it was quite obvious that your pinoy also, most pinoys=lakers/heat/knicks same bandwagon fans. typing in all caps, attacking a fellow member of the community "personally", talking trash, posting multiple same images. i guess if i'm doin' something wrong and should be punished, they should go first..
