    WOW. And things turn in our favor in a hurry - until NJ ends up with a top-3 pick, so we get their pick next year instead. And then they become contenders and we get the #25 in next year's draft. And the league continues to laugh at us. We're just delaying the inevitable bad luck.

    Only kidding - I think.

    It's amazing to think that there's a management team worse than the Blazers ... The Nets might be it?

    Lets just hope they aren't good enough to make the playoffs, but just good enough to make the chances almost impossible.

    Might want to add Felton and Camby to that wish list.

    Let's hope it's this year though if the Nets are trying to surround Deron with a good team. C'mon No. 4 pick!

    Nicolas now moves back to the 3, and Wes probably moves back into the lineup.

    What would be insane is if D Will just gives up because they didn't get Howard and they go like 4th worse in the NBA. Then we tank and be like 6th worse and our pick wins the lotto and the Jersey pick stays at #4. Having the top 4 picks in a great draft would be insane!

    If that happens, we better find a fucking GM and scouting staff worth a shit to find the talent!

    The best part of this deal is that we have secured our own spot in the draft lottery.

    WOW! Just wow! We likely will have 2 lottery picks in a very talented draft. Hate to look ahead to the draft, but with our need to rebuild, and the likelihood we'll have two lottery picks, it's hard not to!

    How in the hell would that happen? Even if your dream scenario comes true, we would only have two of the top four picks.

    Don't be so sure. I mean, I kinda share your POV, but am trying to be more optomistic.

    Impressive that we turned Przybilla/Cunningham/Protected 2013 first for a 2012 lotto pick and cap space.

    Mods, can you change the title to remove the "rumored deal to be"?

    We turned that Przybilla/Cunningham/Protected 2013 pick into Przybilla, a 2012 lotto pick, and cap space.

    We traded Cunningham and a 2013 pick for a 2012 lotto pick.

    Genius.

    So who are we going to release since we have all 15 player slots filled? We are taking 2 players for 1.

    Right. And even that scenario is a longshot. The bottom line is that we will probably have two picks somewhere in the top 14.
