Farmar's name has come up as potentially going to Charlotte, with Johan Petro and a first round draft pick, for 6-8 forward/center Boris Diaw, whose ($9 million this season) contract expires at the end of the season. But Farmar said the fact his name has come up doesn't change his outlook. "Like I said, it’s part of the business,'' he said. "At the end of the day, we get to do what we love, we get paid well to play a game and we’re very fortunate to be in a situation in general. Life will go on, no matter what the situation is.''

I hear Jordan Farmar and Johan Petro would come to Charlotte. Would the Bobcats do that and lower their salary-cap flexibility? Hard to say. Charlotte Observer

In their final season in New Jersey, the Nets have delivered few memorable moments at Prudential Center. But the Nets made up for it last night — and then some — when Jordan Farmar took a pass from Deron Williams and drilled a wide-open 3-pointer from the right wing with 0.2 seconds remaining, giving the Nets a thrilling 101-100 win over the Clippers to snap their seven-game home losing streak. “Jordan made probably the biggest shot this year for us,” Nets coach Avery Johnson said. “The way this win happened was perfect.” Farmar’s shot finished off a wild second half, one that saw the Nets lead by as many as 18 points in the third quarter before the Clippers began slowly chipping away.

The Nets have also offered point guard Jordan Farmar, a draft pick and cash in a separate package for Mayo. Either deal would save the Grizzlies money. Farmar has a contract that pays him $4 million this season. He owns a player option at $ $4.25 million for the 2012-13 season. Neither deal is imminent. But both scenarios are there for the taking if the Grizzlies want to pull the trigger, according to the sources. Memphis Commercial Appeal

For the first time this season the Nets went into a game with a solid rotation. It appears, at least for now, that Jordan Farmar isn’t part of it. "We think we now have found some sort of a rotation, and unfortunately everybody can’t be in it," coach Avery Johnson said. "But because this is a season of a lot of games in a short period of time, everybody’s [got to] stay ready." Bergen Record

Farmar didn’t play against Atlanta on Friday or against the Cavaliers on Sunday. The 25-year-old played all 82 games of the regular season for the Lakers in 2009-10 and appeared in every postseason game of Los Angeles’ run to the NBA Championship that year. Farmar is making $4 million this season and has a $4.25 million player option for next season. MarShon Brooks, DeShawn Stevenson and Sundiata Gaines have been picking up minutes at guard instead of Farmar. "It’s the way it is. It’s the ebbs and flows of the season and it’s my job to make a decision. Sometimes everybody’s not going to be playing," Johnson said. Bergen Record

Jordan Farmar will have to decide whether to become a free agent or exercise a one-year, $4.25 million player option – a commitment he isn’t willing to make any time soon. “As the season progresses and it comes closer to the summer and time to make a decision, I’m sure it’ll cross my mind but I want to stay focused on basketball every day. I want to improve. I feel like I have a lot of room for growth. I’m only 25 years old so I want to continue to grow.” New York Daily News

But is that enough to get the league’s most dominant center? Also, can the Nets clear more than $5 million in salary cap space to make the deal work under NBA trade rules? My sources tell me New Jersey is confident it can clear the additional cap room, so the timetable on getting this mega-deal done could be quick rather than slow. (Trading Jordan Farmar and Damion James for a draft pick would get the Nets the room they need). SheridanHoops

Having been a role player during most of his professional career, Farmar thrived in Maccabi after he became one of the team's pillars in the Euroleague. "I very much contemplate the possibility of returning to Europe one day because I learnt so much playing here, a different style of basketball," Farmar told Reuters after Maccabi's 74-71 defeat at Partizan Belgrade on Thursday. "Not having this opportunity before, I never knew what it was all about and in my mind the NBA was always the only option. "Knowing that there is such high-level basketball in Europe, where the game is a a lot faster and more physical than in the NBA, will give me more options when the time comes to make a decision to move on."

Farmar had 15 points and 13 assists in the win over Cedevita, which raised Maccabi's record to 8-0 in the Adriatic League. He leads Maccabi in scoring and assists in both Adriatic League play (13.2 points, 6.2 assists) and Euroleague league play (14.7 points, 4.3 assists). "It's been a great experience, for me, personally, off the floor, to live somewhere away from home, and get a chance to see my family grow by just being together. No matter where we are in the world, we'll be fine. And then, basketball-wise, it was a great opportunity for me to play basketball the way I know how. I got a chance to do what I do well -- for the first time, really, in my career.'' Farmar knows when he returns to the Nets, he'll take a back seat to Deron Williams, who also played overseas during the lockout and also excelled. Williams, who played for Besiktas, in Turkey, averaged 21.8 points per game, and 6.5 assists, and scored 50 in a game against a German team last week. The Nets' third point guard, Sundiata Gaines, also played overseas, in Georgia. Newark Star-Ledger

Farmar was asked if he would ever consider returning to Israel to play in the future. He said he would. "When I become a free agent, if the situation is right, I'm comfortable here,'' he said. "I know my family can live here and get along and feel good.'' Newark Star-Ledger

Jordan Farmar said yesterday he is not sure about his future with the New Jersey Nets. Farmar signed with the Nets a year and a half ago after winning two titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in two seasons. The Jewish American guard, who is about to leave Maccabi Tel Aviv, said the Nets are committed to Deron Williams, who he sees as the future of the team. Farmar says he left the Lakers because he wanted a pivotal role and more minutes. He says he got some of that under coach Avery Johnson, a former guard. However, Farmar says he is not sure he'll stay with the Nets, who are Brooklyn-bound, after this season. Haaretz

The departure of the New Jersey Nets guard will leave a massive void at Maccabi, with Farmar leading the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals and minutes in the Euroleague this season. “This has been an experience which changed my life,” Farmar said on Saturday. “I feel like I’m a better person and a better player for this experience.” Jerusalem Post

As a player representative for the Nets, Farmar keeps on top of the labor situation and fully supports the decision of the players' union, which last week rejected a proposal from the owners calling for a 50-50 split of basketball related income that would have provided for a 72-game season to start in mid-December. "I understand what we are going through and the points we are fighting for," Farmar said. "The ground we made over the past labor negotiations, to give them back now is a tough thing to swallow." "A lot of guys want to be out there playing and I am one of them. I am in a different situation because I have a comfortable situation here, although there is still nothing like having a job that you are familiar with." YNetNews.com

Once NBA play resumes, Farmar sees an improved Nets team after struggling in recent seasons. He sees the new arena being built in Brooklyn as a new beginning that would lure free agents. "I don't see (the Nets) struggling for too much longer. They are headed in the right direction and Avery Johnson is a hell of a coach," he said. "I have a lot of confidence the Nets will be very good in the future." YNetNews.com

The World from Public Radio International sat down (well, actually stood up) and talked to Jordan Farmar about playing in Israel, where he is during the NBA lockout. Farmar is a Los Angeles boy, born and raised, who went on to win a couple of rings with the Lakers before going to the Nets. Moving to Israel is a dramatic change. NBCSports.com
