The Nets have 4 young bigs with more talent and skill than Boone in Yi, Williams, Lopez and Anderson The Nets have 1 young big with better size for the Center position than Boone in Lopez The Nets have 1 young RFA Center with more talent and skill and better size for the Center position in Krstic The Nets have just signed a hustle guy that makes Boone look like he doesn't care If Boone isn't traded now, his trade value will go down as his MPG drop
I wonder if Denver would be interested in Josh Boone, and maybe we could swing him in a package for Camby.

They wouldn't do this deal, even if we threw in a first rounder, but still... This Trade Succeeded! Go back to adjust your trade or start over.

Boone has never really impressed me in the first place, and judging from what I've seen in his short career so far, his skills are so limited offensively, that I don't really see him improving much. I don't think he will get too much better if at all, and like you said, we have better bigs. Lopez, Williams, Yi, and Najera are more then adequate to fill our PF needs. Give Brook the PT that Boone got last year and I think he'd be considerably better then Boone by the All-Star break.
First of all, I've long been convinced that Krstic is not going to be resigned. I could be wrong, however. Regardless, why trade Boone instead of Sean? Sean may have tremendous value to those teams that prefer athleticism over performance. I'm still not convinced that he'll amount to anything.

There are plenty of athletes that never amount to anything, but I bet you'd be hard pressed to find a single one who blocked 8 shots in one game, or scored 22/8 his first start in the league. I'm excited to see what more he can do in his second.

i kinda agree with dumpy in a way. I really don't want to trade any of the williams. Boone i have no problem with parting with. I am a bit disappointed though with Sean's performance in the summer league. Yes he did a great job on Beasley, but remember it was Beaselys first back to back. Also i was very disappointed in Sean's foul trouble in 4 out of the 5 games only averaging like 20 some minutes cause of his fouling. I was hoping he would have made more strides from last year, and the summer league against rookies, d leaguers, and some a few 2nd year players. I wasn't impressed with his overall game. Sometimes athleticism does not translate into basketball iq. I'm afraid Sean may, not convinced, but may turn out to be another Swift type of player. Only having his brain holding him back. I hope again i'm wrong here, but his improvement judging by the summer league was a bit disappointing, and he had plenty of opportunity to prove me wrong.

Of all the bigs I have to agree with Cpawfan that Boone is the most favorable trade asset. He had a solid season last year and his value will never be higher because next season he has to compete with SWill, Lopez, Anderson, Najera, Yi , Swift and Krstic for minutes. Somebody has to go and Boone has good value right now it'll only get lower as time passes by.

He also showed off those two great moves of his: the "fadeaway" jumper where he leaps backwards about eight feet and then lets one fly, and the awkward jump hook. He was 3-of-9 overall. I'd argue that there's just a 25% chance or so that he ever improves from where he is now. Boone is what he is, and knows it. That last bit is important. He just has to stop berating himself for screwing up while the ball is still in play.
Package him and Marcus for a young gun maybe? Martell Webster Corey Brewer Nick Young Julian Wright Morris Almond

Still i was a bit disappointed in the summer league. Remember Sean in the rookie game. I guess maybe i was expecting more. He put on weight, works out almost every day, and is even more athletic than last year. But what scares me is the reports that he looks lost on offense, and on defense he still getting into way too many fouls. Does he have ADD or something?? But no i wouldn't trade him until his third year or so, give him this year and maybe another becasue of his athletic ability. Still am disappointed in him so far. oh yeah, go nets!!
