well we have some sort of idea who the nets want in the draft... and which direction they are heading in regards to the draft. so the question is what free agents, or what trades would we be looking at? early in the playoffs we had rumors of melo coming to nj... now as much as id like that, id rather have a solid 4... not a great scoring 3... no knock on melo, i love his offensive game but what we (the nets) need is a low post threat. elton brand would be the ideal choice but is it really attainable? would RJ, marcus, S&T krstic be enough? or do we even have to throw a pick at the clippers? i kno people might hang me for this but what about antawn jamison? i know he isnt the youngest nor gettin younger... but i think he would be a good complement to what we have... and i dont think we would have to give up so much for him. what about boris diaw from the suns? i heard the suns are willing to part with diaw and barbosa for picks... are they having some kind of fire sale? would you guys be willin to give up picks for those 2? now on a side note... free agents id like to pursue besides a S&T brand, would be a josh smith from ATL... id give up just as much for josh in accordance to brand... i think josh has hugh upside and he is really startin to come into his own... -also monte is a free agent but he will likely be locked up with GSW... then you have ben gordon and luol deng... both very solid and young... well let me know what your takes are the season is officially over so its a clean start for everybody startin today
Brand would be nice, but we'd have to give up some serious talent to get him. I think we should look at cheaper options for scoring bigs. Brad Miller, Sheed, Villanueva, Okur. Someone like that, who we would only need to move some contracts and lesser pieces for. We could either keep RJ after that, or move him for bench help, to Portland or something. Maybe: Nets trade:RJ, Marcus, #21, Krstic Nets receive:Miller, Webster, Jack, Frye, #13 Kings trade:Miller Kings receive:LaFrentz, Marcus, #21, Krstic Blazers trade:Webster, Jack, Frye, LaFrentz, #13 Blazers receive:RJ take Danilo and Rush. Harris/Jack Carter/Rush Webster/Gallinari Boone/Frye Miller/Williams
ya charlie v would be great... he isnt even happy with the bucks :/ hehe all that guaranteed time to Yi is takin his playin time what you think bout the jamison? you dont think he would be a servicable big man for us?
He'd be nice, but I don't know how we'd get him. a S&T with the Wizards seems the only way, and I doubt they'd want RJ with Butler, and otherwise we'd move expirings and pieces or Carter. we'd either need a three way or do a sign and trade with a random team under the cap that wants RJ.

I'd rather have Jermaine O'neal than Brad Miller. I agree in that we should aim for legit big men like okur etc... but i had more in mind of Millsap. I'd love to get josh smith from the OP, but Atlanta loves him and it'd take a lot to get him. I think we still need that 2 guard that can backup harris/carter and that can defend and shoot. Russel Westbrook seems to fill that need. Here are a couple of scenarios: Draft Westbrook at 10, draft JJ Hickson at 21. Sign Julius Hodge. Trade Krstic + Marcus Williams + Stromile Swift for Wilcox. Harris / Westbrook Carter / Hodge Jefferson / Boki JJ Hickson / S. Williams Wilcox / Boone Trade RJ + #21 + Krstic for Jermaine O'neal. Draft Joe Alexander / Gallinari at #10. Sign Julius Hodge. Aim for someone like Keyon Dooling / Jannero Pargo. Harris / Dooling Carter/ Hodge Alexander / boki Jermaine O'neal / S. Will Boone / Swift Trade Future first rounder + Krstic for Paul Millsap, Draft Westbrook with #10, draft CDR/RUSH with #21. Harris / Westbrook Carter / Rush Jefferson / Boki Millsap / S. Will Boone / Swift

Jamison has said he'd like to return.

Brand possibly too. Don't think you can do 2 sign and trades at the same time. You would also have to send the expiring contracts of KVH and Swift to make that work. So we'd be reduced to filling the bench with the MLE and vet min players.
HMM magg and brand would be nice to add to harris and vince... harris/ ? vince/ager? magg/boki? brand/ ? boone/krstic?
