Utah and Lakers have been discussed so I figured I would throw out something a little different. NJ to Chicago: Jefferson Boone KVH Chicago to NJ: Nocioni Gooden Sefolosha Nets get tougher and better defensively. Chicago saves some money by buying-out KVH contract and can re-sign Gordon and/or Deng.
Portland sends: Raef LaFrentz expiring contract 1st Round draft pick this year Jarret Jack NJ Sends: RJ Hassell Portland gets RJ who they wanted since last year. NJ clears a lot of cap, gets a lottery pick this year and a good backup pg for next season.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ghoti @ Apr 30 2008, 03:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'></div> I'm not a Howard fan. I think Jefferson is better. If Stackhouse was half the player he used to be that deal would be worthwhile.
Howard was an All-Star, makes less money, has a shorter contract and his best friend plays here. I'm sure he and Sean Williams will get along, too. Stack can take a buyout if he wants. If not he can play with Carter. I'm sure they're tight.
Jazz trade: Andrei Kirilenko Mehmet Okur Morris Almond Nets trade: Richard Jefferson Josh Boone Keith Van Horn Dallas 08 pick ----------------------- Rockets trade: Bobby Jackson Shane Battier Luis Scola Steve Francis Luther Head Nets trade: Richard Jefferson Josh Boone Marcus Williams Keith Van Horn

Ghoti, imo your offer for Howard and Stack is the worst. I've seen Howard more than ever this year and I'm totally not impressed. No jumper, ball hog... completely chocked in the playoffs. RJ > JH
1)Josh Howard + Brandon Bass for RJ + Nets 08 2nd round pick 2) RJ to the Sixers for a large 11-13 trade exception + Sixers 08 first round pick and try to get either Jason Smith or Thaddeus Young
If the Nets tried to trade RJ for Howard before the season Dallas would have laughed in their face. Guess what? They are the same players now as they were then. You can't go out and trade a mediocre player for an All-Star when the All-Star is on top of his game. This is the last opportunity to trade a bum like RJ for Howard because Howard won't be playing for Avery Johnson next year.

Avery is NOT IN DALLAS ANYMORE! but i agree Howard has been an allstar and rj hasnt. Howard played consistent in his entire career. The past few months hes been playing horrible. maybe because of a back injury? who knows. But he is not on top of his game now and his value is on a all time low. Now would be the right time to get him. My only concern is his drug abuse. How about RJ+Mwill for AK47 AND Millsap? Idk just a thought.

Howard can become the player he was, but Jefferson can't?
Who cares? Cheaper player, younger player, more durable player, shorter contract. And I think Howard is much more likely to regain his form from a few months ago than bighead RJ is from three years ago.
