If we go back to an emphasis on a transition game that starts by a dedication to defense, yes. Amare is an animal, much more dominant that Kenyon was when we went to the finals those two years.

I chose those three players because I believe they are all available and would change the Nets significantly. Whether they would be enough to beat the Pistons, Cavaliers or Celtics in a seven game series is up for discussion. If the answer is no on all counts, then there's no point in continuing with this core.

Although this seems to be on a different note, I do see Jefferson continuing to average 24 ppg. Just like we've seen with how he excelled with Vince playing with him, the opposition won't be able to double team RJ with Amare in the game.
The Suns have Nash and Marion to compliement Stoudimire with an far superior bench and there team hasn't won shit so will somebody explain how we can bring Amare in to mix with Vince and Jkidd and suddenly win a championship? Keep in mind Collins and Boki are then bumped into the starting lineup with a bench consisting of Armstrong, Wright, Allen and Magliore. PLEASE ALSO keep in mind that the Suns have Leandro Barbosa, Boris Diaw, Raja Bell,Grant Hill, Marcus Banks and Brian Skinner...on the bench and haven't won shit... SO HOW OH HOW WILL AMARE LEAD THE NETS TO THE PROMISED LAND?

Remember, the idea is to win a title. If that can't be done with the current players, there's no point in keeping the team together. </div> Here's an interesting propostion between Portland and New Jersey... TRADE Portland would also send there 2008 first rounder... It would help both teams giving us a quality backup pointguard in Rodriquez, a backup SG/SF in Outlaw and a new younger starting SF in Martell Webster. Raef Lafrentz will be a valuable expiring contract in 2009 and therefore a trade asset for next season. The first rounder could then allow us to further develop our bench in this years draft. For Portland they would get a star SF in Jefferson who next to Roy and Aldridge could instantly upgrade there title shots this season. Magliore would provide spark off the bench and cap relief for the next season. Portland has done a tremendous job in the draft but with there already loaded roster and there foriegn players waiting to come over next season they have not need for there draft pick. just a thought.
Oh boy I had no idea Raef's contract was so bad. If he comes here he'll make Collins look like a fan fav by comparison.

The path to the Finals from the East has been a lot easier the last decade. The Suns were better than last year's Cleveland, on the same level as the Heat Champions, and with an injured Joe Johnson probably would have lost to Detroit, but if he was healthy then it could go either way.

Four way trade Nets-Magic-Pacers-Sixers Nets trades: Vince Carter, Sean Williams, Jamaal Magloire, Jason Collins, Darell Armstrong, Malik Allen, 1st round pick to the Pacers, 1st round pick to the Sixers Nets receive: Jermaine O'Neil, Andre Iguodala, Troy Murphy Why: Get Iguodala and O'Neil. Orlando trades: Carlos Arroyo, Keyon Dooling, Pat Garrity, Keith Bogans, JJ Redick, James Augstine, 1st round pick to the Pacers Orlando receives: Vince Carter, Marquis Daniels, Malik Allen, Darell Armstrong Why: Get Vince Carter to bolster their backcourt Indiana trades: Jermaine O'Neil, Troy Murphy, Marquis Daniels Indiana receives: Jamaal Magloire, Jason Collins, Carlos Arroyo, Keyon Dooling, Pat Garrity, Keith Bogans, JJ Redick, first round pick from the Nets and Magic Why: Huge salary dump and get some picks Philadephia trades: Andre Iguodala Philadelphia receives: Sean Williams, James Augustine, 1st round pick from the Nets Why: Get a nice young player in Sean Williams and a 1st round pick for Iguodala if they don't want to pay him the big extension he wants. Nets lineup: Kidd/M.Williams Iguodala/Wright Jefferson/Nachbar O'Neil/Boone Krstic/Murphy Magic lineup: Nelson/Armstrong Carter/Daniels Turkoglu/Evans Lewis/Cook/Allen Howard/Foyle
Any deal involving the Nets getting JON isn't worth the electrons it is presented with. If Kidd is still on the roster, the goal is not to go backwards.
The Blazers are not looking to change one thing. Forget that. The Nets are not trading six players and two first round picks to take back JON, Troy Murphy's horrible contract, and the right to pay Iggy long term when they already have RJ. C'mon now.
oh brother here we go again...I wish some people would actually read what's going on in these places, first off T-mac is on the block for a smaller contract & why oh why do I unite him w/ his cousin can you imagine all the broken plays between 1/2 man,1/2 a season & 1/2 da man, he use to be amazing.... and why are we trading Sean Williams he is just scratching the surface. The Amare deal makes some sense but again I wish some of us would read up on what's going on in PHX, Hill is playing good but they want to make the backcourt a threat, coming next season Amare is slated to make 15 M, then 16 M and finishing off w/ 17 M... now IMO he is worth it but your giving more than you have to. Steve Kerr may probably do this deal for Boone and VC or Kirstic and VC, to make the backcourt stronger and have a go to guy come the playoffs. Why Kerr might trade Amare he wants a go to guy and a durable piece over a good gamble in Amare. And there has been whispers Amare is frustrated eversince the KG talks. I could see something like this as enough Amare trade Now trade #3, not a chance in hell that I make that deal, again RJ isn't the problem, Sean Williams is promising in yr.1 doing more than some noticeable rookies have done in the NBA at 21 can you imagine when he fills out and Gasol turns this team into a 1/2 court chucking team, and most likely Kidd would have to go.

Please no more JON trade proposals, he's out for 2 weeks with some sort of pain in his Knees, JON he's to fragile right now and he isn't worth trading for honestly, just my opinion
