Billy King Keeping His Cards Hidden
Definition – GM Speak
Billy King told the Nets beat writers today that he has it at around 10% that he will make a trade prior to the deadline. King said last week that he wont make a trade for the sake of making a trade and that if it helped the team he would look into it.
Should we believe the GM that somehow grabbed Deron Williams out of nowhere two years ago after he failed to land Carmelo Anthony?
I tell everyone the same thing this time of year. Every GM in the NBA is a “good liar” and that is their job to do so. Take everything they say as a complete lie and be happy when they do something. The best GM’s are the ones that can keep their trades out of the Twitterworld and under the radar.
I have faith that King will do something to upgrade the PF position prior to Thursday’s deadline and if he doesn’t then expect the same inconsistent Brooklyn Nets team we have seen through the first half of the season.
Billy King says #Nets chances of making a trade are about 10 percent

Call me a skeptic, but I think the #Nets have had way too many trade discussions for them to not do SOMETHING. King wants to improve team.

Asked Billy if #Nets may add a major name: "We could, then we could not. I would put the likelihood of us doing a deal at 10 percent."

Billy: "This roster itself is not perfect, but I think it’s a roster that can win and it’s won 31 games." #Nets
