...if we traded Stephon Marbury to the Clippers for Keyon Dooling and the #2 pick, instead of trading him to the Suns for Kidd? Who would we had drafted at #2? Do you think we'd have a good, successful team right now? Do you think we'd have Vince Carter? What do you think this team would look like right now? I was thinking about this the other night, and I'm interested in the responses to this. For reference-- <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Everything will depend on any predraft maneuvers as trade rumors were swirling late last night. One report had Stephon Marbury being dealt to the Clippers in exchange for Keyon Dooling and the Clippers' No. 2 pick.</div> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In preparation for the wildly uncertain draft, Nets President Rod Thorn said the team intended to keep its pick and had compiled a list of six potential players.

I've been looking for it. The Clippers saved him from himself.
cmon, kidd is a diva but i'll never forget those two years where i was in absolute love with this team with kittles, kenyon, the pale rider..
Who would we had drafted at #2? Jason Richardson Do you think we'd have a good, successful team right now? No idea, since Thorn would have been fired in 2003. It depends who took his place. Do you think we'd have Vince Carter? No chance. What do you think this team would look like right now? Impossible question to answer without knowing who built it. If it was Thorn, a bunch of lowball garbage nobody wanted and tall veterans who can't shoot.
I actually was just thinking, what if Kidd had went to the Spurs? Would we have gotten a sign and trade for Parker? All that stuff makes me wonder now.
