    The Nets will be a dangerous team if this is confirmed. Damn.

    I think its a great move for the Nets. Those picks are not worth a whole lot, basically 3 20ish picks. In this deal the Nets got rid of Wallace's terrible contract, that's a huge plus in it self.

    Brooklyn has to exceed $100m in salaries. Or are they still below that?

    (Once trade is official)

    Will the Nets be like '13 Spurs or Lakers ?

    I think they're something in between. But because its THE EAST, they have a shot.

    That team should scare everyone not named the Heat. Especially if they can get some decent veterans.

    Pierce was actually really good last year. He just ran outta gas having to do everything for the team.

    I know Morey say he'll go over the luxury tax, but given how much Prokorov is going to be paying all non-tay-paying owners over the next few years, it would really be a costly financial decision. The cheap owners are probably ecstatic at this deal.

    The nets are stupid. They will obviously be a solid team but they will not win a championship. They will pay 180 million in salaries and taxes.

    They will give the Heat problems if Deron Williams plays worth a damn
