Hm. I hope they didn't completely turn it down, and simply put the trade "on hold", so to speak. Perhaps once the 10th pick comes around, they could swing the deal.

If there is actually a chance of a top 5 projected pick or talent falling to 10 then this deal should be dead and buried.

I'll tell you what, if Gordon is the guy that falls to #10, the Nets draft him and deal his rights to move down, and then draft Rush and Hibbert at #21, the relevant question will be: What use is the stathead they have on staff to look at video all day long?
This may also mean that the front office hasn't given up on Marcus Williams...they may want to give him another season to see what happens.

Blazer Deal Not Dead…and Nets Focus on Dorsey at #40 <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Chad Ford and Adrian Wojnarowski report that the Nets are still considering sending either Mo Ager (Ford) or Trenton Hassell (Woj) to Portland along with their #10 pick in return for Steve Blake or Jarrett Jack and the Blazers’ #13 and #33 picks. The deal is dependent on what happens during the first nine picks. Meanwhile, Woj reports New Jersey has targeted Memphis center Joey Dorsey at #40.</div> Portland targeting Nets’ No. 10 pick - Adrian Wojnarowski - Yahoo! Sports Yuck on Dorsey. But that's nice that the deal's still not dead. I wonder what we're gonna do. I'd rather take the Blazers' newly acquired 27th pick, too....than the 33rd. Especially if we're giving up a young player with potential, like Ager. But if we were to get two 2nd round picks...I wonder if it'd be possible to use those to move up even more.
Out of curiosity, why is this trade good? I mean, we give up our chief bait contract for an average player and to move down in the draft? They're trying to move up, right? That should mean they are giving us something good, not unloading their crap on us while shedding salary themselves.
Why has this deal NOT been completed! It's basically getting us a solid backup PG who plays hard nosed defense; for moving down 3 spots in a draft that's pretty much even and can go anywhere picks 6 - 15. To me, this is a no brainer. I have wanted Jack in a Nets uni since the '05 draft. I had him on my wishlist that year (with *sigh* Granger). If this rumored deal is true, then Thorn better do it now.
I'm not liking the idea of this trade at all, actually. We can probably get rid of Ager and/or Hassel during the season, or in the summer, if need be..
Hassell has been tough to dump. IF they are willing and we can still get DG then its a no brainer. We would then have too many picks and would maybe be looking to package them for a vet or one more pick in the teens. Hopefully we can get Portland and Sacramento bidding for the pick a little bit.
getting rid of hassell's contract, getting a solid backup pg, moving down only 3 spots and getting another high 2nd rounder? good deal for the #10...i'd take it. i'd rather pay vujacic the money going to hassell...jarrett jack can make trading marcus less painful...these are proven players compared to an unknown we will get at #10.
trading marcus wouldnt be painful at all... and i wouldnt care if we got jack or blake... both are solid back up PG's hmmm but if 10 is gonna be gordon im goin gordon! if its brook... freakin trade it
Everybody is ready to get rid of a 22 year old PG who after spending the majority of the season injured showed flashes of potential greatness over the last two months of the season. He averaged 11 points, 6.5 assists and 4 rebounds a game as a starter and 7.1 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds over the last 36 games while seeing 19 minutes of action per night. Give the kid a chance.

My $.02: The draft is pretty even in quality from 3 to 10, but drops off at 11 or 12. No way would I trade down to 13 just for an Ager-Jack switch. And I like Jack a lot. If I'm the Nets, I stay at 10 and take the BPA. Pretty much any of Gordon, Bayless, Lopez, and Gallinari can get 20-25 minutes off the bench and provide some needed punch. Gordon is the gem of the crop. If it's Bayless, I would pick him and immediate start exploring a trade with Miami if they still have Beasely. . . Bayless+21+Swift for Beasely+Blount is my opening bid. . .
this would suck... there are 8 guys I like in this draft, and with Westbrook and Alexander likely gone too, we should get one at 10, but not 13. And Jack sucks.
