Then trade Lopez and two firsts for Howard, Trade two seconds for Beasely. CHAPIONSHIPZZZZ!!!

[fenikz]

I would entirely do that if I was the Lakers

[TheBoyWonder22]

Problem is I seriously doubt the Nets would want any part of that. Maybe, but doubtful. Plus, what would be the point of trading for Bropez and then trading him immediately? As awesome as it would be, even falconer's situation is pretty unlikely.

the nets wouldn't do that because it's a ridiculously terrible and lopsided trade. that'd be a horrendous deal

not really because you're going to lose Deron anyways.

[yo123]

Yeah...that's still a disaster of a trade for the Nets.

right, i forgot that was an actual fact. since it's happening, might as well trade him away for ****.
I wish you were in our front office.

anyways


it's still an absolute raping of the nets. I'm pretty sure Billy King would piss himself laughing as he hung up the phone. And then try and create some master intricate 12 team trade.

plus, Stern would probably veto it anyway...like some other deal I vaguely remember involving the lakers and a top 3 point guard

As a Nets fan, you must be pissing yourself leading up to the deadline. There are seemingly only two legitimate options for your team: A) Land Dwight, and compete for championships in brooklyn for the next six years. or B) Miss out on Dwight and either trade Deron for 60 cents on the dollar, or lose him via Free agency.

It's literally Dwight or bust for you guys.

oh i know. I'm not hyping myself up stupidly like I did for Lebron and that big summer where we came away with...travis outlaw.

At this point, I HIGHLY doubt we trade Deron if we don't land Dwight. If dwight isn't moved, we're going to try and sign him and re-up Deron. And it is quite possible we lose out on D-Will and go to Brooklyn a freaking mess.

Best case scenario:

We sign Dwight, go to Brooklyn with him, DWill, Morrow, Brooks, (maybe Bropez) and 2 first rounders and are a legit contender

Middle case: We deal a lot for Dwight at the deadline, but him and D-will sign extensions and we go to Brooklyn with an incredible duo to build around

Worst case: ...yeah. yeah

[fenikz]

Suns worst case scenario: Refuse to rebuild, Nash resigns for a 2 year deal and ends his career without a title on a mediocre team

Best case scenario: Trade Nash along with Childress/Warrick for expiring contracts, sign Williams and Dwight, draft Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, trade Gortat for PF resign Grant Hill

Williams
Gilchrist
Hill
PF
Howard
-
Dudley
Frye

[MetSox17]

Best case scenario: everyone that's good in the NBA goes to my team.


Ya'll should at least try and be realistic with your scenarios. Nash and DWill can't wait to get off of the teams they're on right now. Phoenix isn't really a hotspot for free agents, more when you consider the ownership they have. Doubt Boston lands anyone either, the team with the most to look forward to this off-season is Dallas, cause they have a very high chance of signing Deron, and might make the moves necessary to have D12 join.

Unfortunately for the Suns they're lingering in mediocrity right now with very little assets. That's a terrible spot to be in.

[fenikz]

Nash will never leave the Suns, he will have to be forced out

I've said this for 5 years now but still people make the ******** claim that Nash would leave on his own accord

And a top 5 C/PG are certainly worth something

[MetSox17]

There won't be any forcing out. He would never ask for a trade, i'll give you that. But there will be an "amicable" split in the off-season, and he'll walk as a free agent. He won't be pushed out, he'll willingly leave.

[Brodeur]

Best case scenario for the Pistons: Some way, we are able to get rid of the following...Charlie V, Tayshaun, Ben Gordon, Austin Daye

[MetSox17]

You forgot to add Joe Dumars to that list.

[WMD]

[yo123]

Hahahaha. Tolliver's reaction is priceless too.

see I hate this perception of D-Will "can't wait" to get off the nets. It's got no basis. Yeah, we suck, but you can't say he can't wait to get off the team when there are real possibilities of him and Howard being the face of the Nets heading to Brooklyn

[fenikz]

Nash for D-Will you sign Dwight everyone's happy

[bearsfan_51]

Got courtside tickets to see the Wolves play "Lob City" on April 12th. It's nice to be able to buy Wolves tickets for games that actually matter.

[draftguru151]

Shane Battier doesn't suck anymore yaaaaay.

[WMD]

Soooo will there actually be a kinda big trade at the deadline?

Let's see who's supposedly available.. Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, Josh Smith, Monta Ellis, KG, Ray Allen, Pierce, Bropez, Tyreke Evans, Jose Calderon.. Some other losers.. Anything gonna happen? Something should. Trade them all.

[draftguru151]

LeBron James is the first player in nba history to get atleast 35 points(38), 10 reb(11), 5 ast(6), and 5 steals with no turnovers.. No player has ever done that besides LeBron last night.

Also Pittman is quite bad. I miss Bosh. :(

[fenikz]

Steve Nash is actually unavailable just alot of people who want him
