The Nets would include a pick if necessary. The Nuggets have the freedom to resign the young Nenad Krstic cheaply while also deciding to give Magloire a chance or not. They pick up another shooter (at least, one that has started to step it up lately) in Boki, and initially clear 53 million dollars off their cap. If negotiations hit an absolute logjam, throw in a pick. Heck, make it a first. I don't think I need to explain why the Nets do this... Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, Kenyon, Boone? Ha, or maybe a Kidd, Jefferson, Sean, Swift, Kenyon lineup to really go balls-out on the break? EDIT: oh plus could you imagine Sean learning his game under Kenyon? Giggity-giggity.
Honestly, I wouldn't even mind trading Carter for him so atleast we can run the ball without having to worry about play sets for Carter.
Carter + Magloire for Kmart + Aktins Sean Williams + Marcus Williams for Andre Iguodala Swift for Mikki Moore Kidd/Aktins/Armstrong Iguodala/Wright Jefferson/Nachbar Kmart/Moore Krstic/Boone

hmmm. it seems I'm the only one left on this board who still likes Krstic. I wouldn't trade him for KMart straight up even if the salaries matched.
The worst contracts in the NBA are: --Kenyon Martin --Larry Hughes --Jermaine O'Neal --Jerome James --Stephon Marbury --Raef LaFrentz All other contracts pale in comparison to players who are injury prone (the first four), a locker room cancer (Marbury) and someone who just wasn't that good (LaFrentz). There are a lot of others out there there as well. I am going to fully enjoy forcing some of you dribblers to eat crow when Krstic starts playing a full strength after the break.

But if he gets me Kenyon...well, there's no way I can be completely unbiased when it comes to ideas that could get him back. What I can say is that we can't just trade scrubs to get him, it would take some talent (which is where the Serb comes in).

Will he still be a seven foot big man who can hit out side shots and gets abused by the likes of Haslem or will his game rise. Also will it be for a Nets team with no Kidd or Carter?? We do miss Krstic's game now but it seems the direction the Nets are heading, a full strength Krstic is too late to make any difference. EDIT: Plus the way that Josh Boone has develop we would only need for Krstic to hit those open jumpers. I wonder if Krstic was healthier in the beginning would we even be where we are right now. Plus would Josh and Sean even had their chance to display what they can do.
Oh KMart, my love. Please return. I will forget your two broken down knees and the $40 million still owed you. I will forget that you faked your birthday and are actually a year older--31 going on 32. I will forget you near psychotic outbursts both in New Jersey and Denver. You were "amped up" as they say. I will forgive you for demanding a trade and not even negotiating after being offered $66 million in 2003. I will forgive you for having your agent work up an offer sheet to make sure the Nets could not match the Nuggets--the maximum signing bonus, the maximum trade bonus, the option that you get paid your entire season's salary upfront...all of which would have required the Nets to pay you $28 million on July 1, 2004. Hell, I will even forgive you going 3-for-23 in the biggest game in franchise history. Keep Shooting KMart has always been my motto! Nenad, you are Serbian white trash. Be gone!

I wouldn't say he wasn't that good. He was a C who nailed 3s, blocked shots, and rebounded. I don't get the deal proposed in this thread. KMart is pretty good if he can play, but the Nets would be extremely thin and would have to pick up a bunch of even worse players to fill roster positions. Denver couldn't keep all those guys so they're worthless in that respect alone.

The real problem is that filling the team out with fringe players is S.O.P. Billy Thomas, Rod Benson, and Eddie Gill are already some of the ex-Nets (this season!) that would probably be called up.
