<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Denny Crane @ Jun 26 2008, 02:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Can anyone here conceive of a scenario where a team would trade for Carter? I can't... However, I wouldn't expect anyone to trade for Shaq, either </div> I can. Easily. Although it would be a bit paradoxical. Carter to Cleveland for Wally and picks.
Why would Cleveland do it? EDIT: They like Wally's expiring deal, too, so they have cap space to try and re-sign LeBron. In fact, they'll have so much cap space, they could sign a much younger player with a longer upside than Vince to go along with LeBron.
y would u wanna get rid of carter? i like carter and i think hes an asset to the nets even at his contract !!!
John Hollinger is a blind dog. That idiot criticized the Nets for maintaining the status quo for years.
wOW I can't believe this crap. We need a shooter & a big so we get rid of a good SF for this?? If they wanted to give away RJ why not trade with the timberwolves for their #4 pick.

NBC's Bruce Beck just said on air that the Knicks are trying to acquire Richard Jefferson from the Bucks.
I got it, lets get rid of Harris,Carter,Swat,Williams everybody else that has a contract will stay. We pick up Marbury, and couple other rejects and call it a day. This team has been going down hill since they gave away KMART

Even if LeBron said there is no way he's leaving Cleveland, I'd still do this trade. Bottom line: the Nets were not winning a championship with Richard Jefferson, and his large contract hampered them from getting the parts that could possibly lead to a championship. With Yi (young guy with a lot of potential) and Simmons (10.6M expiring contract after this season), they are in better position to make a deal for a star after this year than they would if they still have Jefferson in 2009. RE Carter: I'd love to trade Vince, but I don't see it happening this summer. However (and I don't think anybody has pointed this out yet), this team is built for Carter to put up gaudy numbers and increase his trade value. If the West goes on another "aging stars arms race" like last year, I could see teams like the Suns or Jazz making offers for him.
So who are the top players next year, Tyreke Evans wing, BJ Mullens C, DeRozan wing, Jennings PG, Griffin PF.

They think the Bucks won't go after Alexander now, but another team could still take him. We just traded a 23 point a game scorer for an 8 point guy, who is at best, a project, and another guy that's always hurt and has a ridiculous contract. I like that they are setting themselves up for 2010, but it sure seems like they could have a got a draft pick or a little more. This team is will lose 50+ games next year. Where are the points coming from? It was hard enough last year with an anemic offense.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ghoti @ Jun 26 2008, 05:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>"Giveaway" of RJ, my ass. The guy regressed, is injury prone, played no defense, had a crappy attitude and a bad contract and the Nets got a lottery pick and a substantial savings along with cap room for 2010, when there are more FA than just LeBron available. All of a sudden RJ is some kind of superstar? Please.</div> I wouldn't call it a giveaway, but it certainly wasn't an even swap, our team got a good deal worse today. The '08-09 season is going to be awful. And someone needs to inform Thorn that Yi is no 20 year old, give that a rest. If he's 20, Danny Almonte was like 10 and Miguel Tejada is 27.
