Richard Jefferson will be traded this summer

I have learned from a source inside the Nets that it is extremely likely that Richard Jefferson will be traded.

All of us have been over time and time again the reason why he will or won't be traded, so that is not news.

This post only serves as confirmation that RJ is on the trading block.

Of course, if there are no good offers, he will be back...but Rod is actively shopping RJ.


Circle the wagons peeps, the glory days are over. Rough waters ahead. We'll see who the true Nets fans are...

 

it's ok, furnace, we're going to draft the next kerry kittles

 

Furnace, thanks for sharing this additional confirmation.

The writing has been on the wall for sometime now, but I won't be surprised to see RJ back next season since the Kidd trade has only served to encourage Thorn that he can wait for what he wants and that somebody will eventually pay it.

 

why would this possibly make you angry, unless you suspect that they;ll just get crap back?

That sentiment was all over the Thorn media availability today.

The other somewhat hidden headline was that the Nets are not going to spend a lot of money.

 

Why do people continually pine for teams that were dismantled half a decade ago. Rough times ahead are natural for a rebuilding team. I also foresee good times ahead as well.

I think he was playing his cards close to the vest in order to preserve value. Once he says "we're trading Richard" other GMs will think he has to and low ball him.

 

Getting rid of Vince is the next step. If Thorne doesn't completely dedicate himself to rebuilding, everyone better be ready for mediocrity for a very very long time. Being in between rebuilding and trying to contend just doesn't work.

 

I love RJ, but it really needs to happen. Or, more precisely, one of RJ or Vince need to go so that a knockdown shooter can be placed at the other spot.

It is difficult, but it can work. It has worked for several teams, including the Lakers.

 

One often-recited criticism of Thorn is that he waits too long to trade his assets. Well, RJ didn't miss a single game, and had his highest scoring average as a pro. Without looking, I'd guess that he also had his highest three-point shooting percentage as well. Trading him now should make someone happy.

Instant success after years upon years of failure and misery has a way of doing that to people.

 

I say he comes to the Raptors and becomes that 3 guard we need.

Only if you take Marcus and give up Bosh and Jose

 

actually, RJ on the Raptors would be great for them. Who would we get? Parker and Moon?

 

He'd be good. But I don't want any part of that contract.

I thought Bosh wanted that job!
