I think the big 3 must split up. It's just not working out. 2 wing and a Point Guard doesn't seem to work. See Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter for example. I think Vince Carter may have to be the one that has to go, Jason Kidd and R.J are fastbreak players while VC has been more of a halfcourt player. I think trading VC and other players for Jermaine O'Neal may be just right. Check out this trade http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/trad...p;te=&cash= this is one idea.
And why would Indiana want to do such a trade? They already have an overrated player in O'neal with swelling knees why would they want VC who has similar injuries with a longer contract? Any trade for O'neal will have to include Marcus Williams, and NJ taking Tinsley. Similar to NJ Indiana is only two games behind .500 no major trades are needed yet.
it was one idea. Another idea was sending Dunleavy to the Nets with other nets involved in the trade.
JON doesn't help the Nets win games. The equation gets even worse when you factor in what the Nets would need to send to Indiana. This has been a horrible trade idea for months
At this point if you make a move, it's to either blow the team up or try and compete with Detriot and Boston. This trade would accomplish neither.
It's strange how you people diss Vince when he has a bad game but you're swinging from his nut sack when he has a good one.

So trade VC because he's a half court guy, for another half court guy in JON? That's some crappy logic.
I don't think O'Neal is the answer. He's always injured, not just with freak injuries, but with chronic issues. We'll get a low post presence (yeah, not perfect, but who is) back in Krstic. Krstic combined with SWill and Boone may be pretty darn good. And if that isn't the answer, Krstic can be used as trade bait. But until Krstic gets back, we just don't know. I wouldn't trade Vince, or anyone, unless it was for a deal that definitely makes us better. This team got the 2nd round, and was competitive there, without a starting center. So I'd like to wait and see how we do an actual starting center, arguably one of the best in the Eastern Conference. Plus, we actually play guys who can rebound and block shots now.

i never said let JO run and gun. You can run your offense through the post with JO and run your offense through the wing with RJ. It's hard to have 2 superstar wings be ran through. JO can also have his offense be ran through in the halfcourt
you are talking in circles. you said to trade VC for JO because VC is a half court guy, while RJ and Kidd are fast break players. JO is a half court guy. that logic makes no sense.

VC is not low-post. and even if JO may not be a fast break player. He is good enough to help you defensively and offensively. the way Kidd and Jefferson would stay the same but Jermaine would help if RJ is cold or having an off-night.
