The Nets are an interesting case as well. They talked to the Pacers about a deal for O'Neal involving Richard Jefferson before the draft, but according to one source, Indiana was willing to do the deal only if it could move the small forward to a third team.</p> Whatever the case, Nets president Rod Thorn might want to see about restarting those discussions. New Jersey seems like a team in need of new blood. O'Neal would give the Nets a big man and third All-Star to go with Jason Kidd and Vince Carter and effectively neutralize Boston's Big Three.</p> Thorn wouldn't comment on any trade discussions, but he said he would continue to pursue any and all avenues to improve his team.</p> "With us, it depends on what we'd have to give up," he said. "If we have to give up so much that the team isn't going to be as good, we're certainly not going to do that. ... We're still out there talking to different teams, and we'll see. Something might happen, but it's hard to say."</p> http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...lout/index.html</p>
I hope the Boston trade convinces Thorn to get off his ass and do something rather than just make overrated/minor tweaks to the roster.
I'd hold pat. I love Vince, but for the times when he's inconsistent I like having a 2nd wing scoring option (First game of the playoffs anyone?)</p> Am I overrating Magloire's skills somewhat? Probably, as he went off my radar after he left the east.</p> But Magloire's impact on this team in terms of filling it's needs is not overrated. </p> Plus there is Krstic. I just feel like we're the more complete team, and in a 7 game series that's going to show. </p>
