True. Although Sean, RJ and Josh are probably as close as you could get to "untouchable". </div> I actually think Marcus Williams is the most untouchable otherwise this team would be featuring Jermaine Oneal right now but Thorn wouldn't let them answer, but definately Sean and Josh are close to the top of the list... RJ on the other hand I think is really available as his numbers are better than ever and he is the youngest of the big three. I'm also officially on the trade Kidd bandwagon...we could use the depth we'd get from the young players.
Sean will not be traded unless we get a big (and I mean big) time talent in return. And remember, Thorn never specifically said himself that all these "calls" were for Sean. Until it comes from his mouth, don't assume that people are asking about Sean (although there are most likely teams out there interested in him, no doubt. Not saying no one's inquiring, because they most likely are; just don't believe it 100% until Thorn says it himself).

Should be interesting to see how this plays out. Jason Kidd is in a similar position Kobe was in last year with the decision to trade Bynum for immediate help or stand pat.
hmmmmmm GM's must think Thorn is in a tough place. They feel with the current situation with the Nets and Kidd that he has to make a quick change. Similar to what Boston did trading young talent for instant help. Funny thing is as Jarkid has said Sean Williams is the Nets answer to a big man. The thing is he is a rookie. So he might be a few years from helping them but not too far. Thorn is going to have an interesting year. He is not a fool and sees the potential Williams has but he knows his team needs big changes. If Kidd is traded we have enough pieces to build for the future and whatever kidd brings back will help. Trading Williams does not mean the Nets problems will be fix
Right now even Williams for Shaq will not be a good trade for the Nets. Come on, Nets are on the brink of rebuilding (if not this season, than the next one for sure) and trading their best prospect makes absolutely no sense. I hope Thorn is not retarded.

Yes we would finally achieve the goal we set out but then what if SWAT turns into Amare type player? Players who look to block and love to get physical in the paint or hard to find. Look at the Heat everything was good in 2006 but now not so good. To be honest I am kind of looking forward to rebuilding. Young players watching them grow and develop. Sure the wins might not come but it's not like they're now

You people are probably like the Boston people who didn't want to give up Al Jefferson and whatever so that they could have a championship level team. If there was a move that included Sean that would greatly improve our team, Rod would have to seriously consider it. Of course, I doubt such move is out there right now. For now, I love the mix of vets and younger guys on this team.

But, if someone told me that the trade involving Williams would bring the cup, I'd do this. Championship is the ultimate goal whether it's with Williams or without him. But, I'd miss Sean for sure.

Timmy for Seanny straight up. I wouldn't trade Boone or Williams unless we are getting LeBron or actually someone to help Kidd out.

I think any Nets fan would trade any player (Except Collins) if it would bring a championship. I think realistically though, that they don't want to trade an exciting young player in Williams.
