I don’t see the need for Faried. He can’t play the 4 because he doesn’t spread the floor and Mike won’t play him next to another big like Clint or Nene. The only role he’d have here is as a backup 5, but Nene is already holding down that role. His defense at the 5 is also highly suspect. Morey will have to do something in big in free agency next summer. He needs to get Lebron or Paul George next summer. They’re long shots, but that’s what it will take to elevate us to a new level. Role players will come, we need that star on the wing. Is this possible? CP3 Harden/Gordon PG13 Moute Clint CP3’s caphold is renounced, Ariza isn’t brought back, Ryno and Tucker are moved, and others are let go to create space for PG...then Moute is brought back
I wonder what the chances are of us trading for Melo if thunder have an underwhelming season and get out of playoff talks Melo isn’t really fitting on the thunder squad to well. Westbrook and Goerge are just to dominate plus they are missing the role players they need At least cp3 and harden [Harden less of] can defer a lot more then Russ and Goerge can. Because Russ isn’t a true passing guard he’s more of a last second dump it to the big man assist guy
if he gets too expensive then oh well, I’m not too concerned about acquiring role players Tucker came here for less, and Moute came here on a vet min...role players will take less to join a contender or up their value for 1 year by playing in Mike’s system and with Harden/CP3
we have the final spot left, let's sign monta ellis or deron williams for vet min. and we good for this season
I didn't assume. You wrote, I read. Assuming would be if I added other elements into the presumed trade myself.
I think George would be the best fit on our team. Very good 3pt shooter when open, also can create his own shot. Has a nice shooting form and can defend. I don't rank him top 10, but top 15 for sure. That would make 3 top 15 players which is pretty damn good. I don't know how - but if we get him, that would be super nice.
You interject much towards yourself I never said you said something about Cousins or Paul George. It was directed to the masses who are pushing for Cousins or Paul George or Melo. Masses of people read this forum besides you and I. And for you to say the Nets would nix any trade is presumptuous of you. You haven’t heard the offer. Maybe a 3rd or 4th team got involved. These are the Nets who are collecting draft picks and want any young players they can get their hands on. KJ McDaniels, D’Angelo Russell, Crabbe, DeMarre Carroll, Mozgov. They are using these assists to flip for more young players and more draft picks. Zhou Qi and Troy Williams might appeal to them. Because you wouldn’t trade DeMarre Carroll/Booker for Ryan Anderson/Zhou Qi/1st rd draft pick/2 nd rd draft picks; Doesn’t mean they won’t. Are you a representative of the Nets front office? Again DeMarre Carroll was obtained from Toronto in exchange for Justin Hamilton & a TPE. Nobody is knocking down the Nets door for DeMarre Carroll and offering a Kings ransom. Get over it. Edited: Nets may want to pair Jeremy Lin and Zhou Qi together. Profit margin might be the bigger picture enticement in this situation. Money from China could be huge.
If you reply directly to me without context or post without context, how else would you expect to be taken? If you don't want people to mistaken what you are really trying to say, learn to just come out and say it. First you post a trade that ONLY mentions Anderson, Booker, and Carroll. When I asked why the Nets would do this, you come back inexplicably mentioning how it is more likely than George or Cousins. When I replied that all three was unlikely, but your idea was a terrible trade, all of a sudden you start adding other players as assets. When I pointed out that I was just responding to what you actually posted, you are now getting all huffy and puffy. Here is a hint, if you are talking about the masses, say so not respond to someone like it was a post they had made. If you mean to say more, actually say it and not just hope other people can guess it.
I will post and interpret the way I wish. You do the same. I didn’t put details of a trade originally because I didn’t want this to be an additional trade thread. You make your predictions and I will make mine.....as per thread title. I don’t have to explain any turn by turn trade move to you or anyone. Nor do you. Good day
Anderson shoots like Anderson and is playing much better defense than ever before. He's not taller, but he's pretty tall already, and he's much leaner. He lost a lot of weight in the offseason, as reported on tonight's broadcast, and it's made him a much more athletic player. Not that we can't do better at forwards. We can and I'm sure Morey's working every angle as usual. I'd love to have an all-star forward to add to the team but I don't get the desire for an all-star center. We have Capela, Nene, and Black. Capela's outgrowing some of the more prominent centers before our eyes this season and there's no stronger backup center tandem than Nene and Black. And we give Anderson minutes at center too. Why would we throw max dollars at a center? Would also be nice to have a better emergency backup PG than Bobby Brown. He obviously isn't getting it done or he'd be getting real minutes lately.
