    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Nets still are a distinct possibility, but sources say Bird isn't that enamored with Jefferson and his contract. With young forward Danny Granger, he believes he has a younger, less expensive model. Nevertheless, the Pacers still could do that trade and ship Jefferson elsewhere, but they're giving it one more shot with him. For now, anyway, O'Neal's giving it another shot with them.</div></p>

    screw bird! the only way i would make a deal if i was thorn isrj, collins, b-rob(expring contract) and a pick. thats fair imo JO is no shaq orgarnett and birdexpects a package similiar to that. the lakers wouldnt even give him both odom and bynum and we were offering rj collins and kristic( a better package imo)</p>

    If we are going to eventually get them I like Thorn's hardball technique. Its obvious that JO is a dissenting player, so why feel pressured to throw away the entire bench?</p>

    RJ + Krstic would be a decent trade. I wouldn't give them anything higher. Hell if there was a way to keep RJ I'd be for that. Magloire + Krstic + 1st rounder? Low ball the **** outta him Thron!</p>

    Hey man we technically have pieces that could get kobe! I would prefer to keep the team the way it is barring a superstar trade, you never know.</p>

    Marion, AK47, JO, Kobe. None of these guys have been traded yet, and last I checked, all of their trade requests still stood (not JO's, but they'd trade him in a second if the right deal came along).</p>

    Decent chance that at least 1 of them will still be on their team by December 15th. And we all know what that means.</p>

    (It means great disappointment for all us Nets fans who aren't on the VC love train. God dammit!)</p>

    I was excited about this trade around the draft, but not anymore. I think we have a solid team right now and JO could mess things up. If he comes in now our season would start off so slow. I like the team we have now. And WATCH OUT FOR NACHBAR THE KIDS GONNA BE DOIN BIG THIINGS THIS YEAR I KNOW IT!</p>

    To dream the impossible dream
    To fight the unbeatable foe
    To bear with unbearable sorrow
    To run where the brave dare not go</p>

    To right the unrightable wrong
    To love pure and chaste from afar
    To try when your arms are too weary
    To reach the unreachable star</p>

    This is my quest
    To follow that star
    No matter how hopeless
    No matter how far</p>

    To fight for the right
    Without question or pause
    To be willing to march into Hell
    For a heavenly cause</p>

    And I know if I'll only be true
    To this glorious quest
    That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
    When I'm laid to my rest</p>

    And the world will be better for this
    That one man, scorned and covered with scars
    Still strove with his last ounce of courage
    To reach the unreachable star</p>

    </p>

    Yes it is sad regarding Bird, but no it isn't sad regarding Zeke.</p>

    Well, the JON trade talks were going to pop up again eventually. I still expect a deal to occur between now and December.</p>

    It's all going to depend on whether the Nets play well from the season opener till around December or early January. If things aren't looking too bright, the Nets won't have much choice but to change up their roster, Jermaine being the main piece added. I'm pretty confident in our current roster, but that doesn't mean much until they actually play.</p>

    If RJ performs with 20 point 5 rebounds 4 assists, he won't be traded..</p>

    Richard Jefferson can very easily get traded if he produced those numbers and the team isn't doing well. RJ and Krstic may do well but if the team struggles, you can say goodbye to RJ and maybe even Krstic.</p>
