According to a league source, the Rockets had preliminary talks with the Nets last week about Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin. Talks never gained any steam, but the source said the Rockets were doing their due diligence and Williams' name came up. The Nets balked because one of the main reasons Pierce and Garnett agreed to a trade to Brooklyn was to play with Williams, according to the source. Williams, who signed a five-year, $98 million extension in 2012, was playing well upon returning from an ankle injury, and the Nets were looking better.

Should the Nets revisit talks with the Rockets or another contending team and consider trading a key piece like Williams, Garnett or Pierce now that Lopez is out for the season? It might be worth contemplating because this $190 million roster that was supposed to be a Rolls-Royce now is an expensive luxury car with a transmission problem.

If Asik and Lin ends up in Brooklyn then the NY media and the world is going to get crazy again. Linsanity 2.0.

Lin with Bropez and Garnett would be deadly in the PnR. Pierce and Joe Johnson sniping at the 3s would be deadly. Dang. Dolan you ****! Don't let this happen!

I doubt it.

Lin is a serious DOWNGRADE from D.Williams..This doesn't make the Nets better, IMO. I do wonder how the Somberites feel about this potential starphuck move by the great Morey.

It is interesting that they mentioned trading Williams. If Williams can stay healthy and the Rockets have Harden, Williams and Howard in their line up they become title contenders.

Exactly. I can see them upping up the ante and sending Parsons to get this done. Brooklyn can really get stocked up really quick.

Knicks would need to send Melo to get this done on our side.

I don't think so.. Parsons is the glue to that team and did you see his contract? for what he brings to the table he has the best contract in the NBA, by far!! LOL

This is the same idiot that traded a lottery selection for Gerald Wallace and then re-signed him for $44MM. That pick became Damian Lillard

He followed up that GM by taking the worst contract in the league in Joe Johnson and then giving ATL multiple draft selections.

How this guy is working in the NBA with a great salary is one of the great mysteries of our time.

The Knicks have no concerns when that man is working the phones.

If the pick becomes Jordan Hill does it still bother you? SHow me where you know Lillard is better than Deron before the draft?

I'll take Joe Johnson and that contract over Amare's any time!!! At least Joe is out there! No doubt Joe is over paid, but he plays a vast majority of the games and puts up points.

IM a Knick fan and I won't talk smack about Nets based on knicks winning 5 more games last season!
IM not talking about their Tax after the amounts Dolan paid over his years. These morons want to blow money thats their business.
Im not talking about trading picks as we do the same.
Seems like they at least have a plan on paper. They over paid but get big value from Blatch, and if AK47 can play he is on a very friendly deal. They actually move TOko and Tayshawn back and forth from Dleague and play them once in a while. We don't bother.
Looks like both teams are miserable failures the first two months of the season.

I expect one to break out and get in the playoffs. I hope its us, I can't stomach to watch Melo walk AND Denver get our ping pong balls!

Im not talking smack about the nets as we right there in the gutter with them!

Am I a "Secret" net aplogist? I want a basketball championship in New York in my lifetime!!!! If the knicks can't I sure as hell won't root for Indy to get one! Or Miami! Or OkalaFreakingHomer! or Houstan! Or Chicago! Or Denver, Or any other city who seems to have better odds of winning then a Dolan owned Knick team!!!
