The Brooklyn Nets have flat-out came up to bat and went for Extra Base Hits at every At Bat and it's because of the Deep Pockets and willingness to Win at nearly any cost from Owner Mikhail Prokhorov.
The Nets have picked up one Huge Tab and started Two other Tabs on their way to the Top from the Bottom of the Logo's Eastern Conference. They still are not done as SuperMan of Mouse Town is still out there which would put the Nets right their with the Elite for a Possible Chip and paying the Logo a lot of excess Cash in Luxury Tax.
Let's take a look at what the Nets' Tab looks like right now barring any other Major Moves for JJ of Brand Jordan, G-Wallace of Childersburg, Alabama, and the Joker of the Barclays....D-Will 8:
the Joker of the Hudson 5 years $98 Million
JJ of Brand Jordan 4 years $90 Million
the Childersburg Comet Wallace 4 years $40 Million
Luxury Tax Threshold for 2012-13 Season:
$70.073 Million Teams over that will pay Dollar for Dollar over.
Just with these 3 Players in the Next 3 Years the Nets have committed some $228 Million plus and we haven't even talked about adding Dwight Howard or just picking up what's on the Nets Roster for the 2012-13 Season.
The Commitment is there from Nets Owner Prohkorov and GM Billy King has the Check Book putting together the Necessary Pieces to make a Run now while the Barclays is New an Hot. We already have an example of New Arenas being the Hottest thing and then when that Fire gets put out it is hard to get it going again....mikeCATS.
Just within the last 12 Hours the Nets have been linked to soon-to-be Bulls Sniper castoff K-Dub....Kyler Korver (NBA.com is Reporting) who will have a New Shelf to put all that Hot Sauce on if he rolls with the Nets. Imagine the Joker and JJ wheeling and dealing with a Sniper on the Perimeter ready on some Catch and Shoot Mentality with Hot Sauce on it.....Schwack.
Others Low Budget Shooters of note would be Steve Novak of the now Crosstown Knicks and Sixers Combo Lou Williams. Most of the Chips have fallen but in some places like Brooklyn they are waiting for one more Piece or Pieces to fall in Dwight or more Help on the Roster in Supports Mode.
