    Unbelievable...does this make the Nets better??

    And i never ever thought they would ever trade away their franchise player in Paul Pierce..wow...

    Pierce, KG, Deron Williams, Lopez and Joe Johnson?? wow...what an incredibly old lineup...lol...

    who do you think they trade away?? Gerald Wallace??

    Secondly, talk about salary cap hell, and luxury tax disaster...We all know of the inevitable first round exit...But this has to be some sort of bizarro joke that happened Brooklyn. and they mortage their future with 3 draft picks?? wow...whats going on, this is like a blatant attempt at organization suicide. These guys are all gonna turn old very very very soon...KG might still be the best player on this proposed team.

    Celtics trying to tank again...but it never works out for them...Didn't get Duncan doing it or didn't get Oden/Durant doing it either.

    Its going to be the Celtics or Lakers who get Wiggins. Period. When Dwight leaves the Lakers, Kobe is gonna decide to rehab for a year, and wont come back to play till very late in the season...The Lakers will amnesty Pau...and trade World Peace to the Nets, bc thats what the Nets like to do. The Lakers and Celtics are gonna vie for the lowest # of wins. Guaranteed...And they can then thanks Stern's replacement, Mr Adam Silver.

    Yeah, Wallace will be included, with a bunch of other junk, but Boston doesn't mind that.

    And what are draft picks to Prokorov? "I'll just go out and buy players. Luxury tax? Screw it." Ha.

    If proposed trade goes thru, Boston gets worst of Hawks & Nets firsts in 2014 (due to Joe Johnson trade) & unprotected firsts in 2016 & 2018

    I know this team is old but I have a feeling they'll make some noise in the east. Lopez and Garnet would make for a good front court, the biggest problem would be with Johnson and Pierce. One of them would have to become just a spot up shooter.

    But again...the Celtics tried to get that first pick for Duncan and Oden/Durant so it's not like the league has helped them any.

    Rondo appears to be more trouble than he's worth. He has an interesting game on the court, but off the court he's a complete ahole. His teammates/coaches are always using the excuse that Rondo takes losing harder than anyone they've ever seen. That is code for 'this guy is a complete ahole.' Keep Rondo the hell away from this clubhouse, please.

    An amazing upheaval, for sure. Almost on par with Morey damn near replacing the entire Rockets roster in a year. Looking at it from that perspective, all I can say is that it's happened before, and I'm not complaining any longer about what Daryl did. Sure, there are huge differences, but the bottom line is that both teams will have undergone massive changes in near record time.
