    Could be on the block? Is there any question?

    The real question is will another team be interested and, if so, how much trash the Nets would have to take back.

    Good luck finding anybody other than the Nets willing to take on a contract like that.

    I saw a suggestion of Detroit - Josh Smith and Jennings.

    Garnett is done. He should retire. Pierce should play the role of Ray Allen or Vince Carter....basically a glorified role player. You may squeeze a year or two out of him.

    I think with the emergence of Washington, Indiana and Atlanta, I think Brooklyn should rebuild. Get rid of these old geezers.

    Billy King will have a difficult task if not impossible!

    DWill has a huge contract, bad ankle(s), substandard performance and lack of confidence.

    $60 Millions for 3 years is hard to move!

    Really .....!!Seems like a lateral move for the Pistons and didn't Johnson and Smith already have a run in ATL? How did that turn out?

    Any nutcase knows the Nets are desperate to dump him. I doubt it very much, if DM will go after him.

    I think he's damaged goods. Shame cause I liked him over CP3 back when they were compared as who the best PG in the league was.

    Morey will still be trying to trade for him. He was still high on the guy during midseason.

    If only Billy King, the man with Deron Williams, trade with Billy King, the man that rescued the Hawks out of Joe Johnson's contract.

    So true. On the record, I said it too that I would take DW over CP3, because a. he's bigger and stronger b. he whines and flops so much less.

    Gotta love the Nets trying to use the media to make it seem like Deron has value.

    I'm trying to think of an offer for Deron Williams that the Nets actually would refuse. Tyreke Evans? Bargnani? Kobe? Amare?

    Would be a good pick up if his ankles wasn't a question and that damn contract.
