Magloire + Boki + something for Mike Miller?

There is a new rumor about that. If that's true, I wish it's going to happen, but stop the trade about Kidd.

Everything we need is the consistent scorer off the bench, Mike Miller averages 18 points this season, he is a tremedous scorer for us, otherwise he will help us in the 3pt shooting category.

He could be the best sixth man easily. Just do it Thorn, I don't mind add one draft pick for accomplishing this trade.

We can be a contender easily.

The Nets can't rebuild with Carter and Rj's contracts still on the books.. The plan is to restructure around Carter and RJ until their trade values get high enough.. Win/Win for thorn if he gets Miller in the process..

Their value isn't going to be any higher than now, especially not Jefferson's value. He is averaging a career high in points, if you can't move him now will you ever ? Same thing with Carter, he isn't having a stellar season, but if you really want to rebuild you need to try hard to trade him while he has value. The Nets weren't going nowhere with Kidd and this isn't going to change now.

Its going to be hard moving Vince, so why not build around him. The JO trade is pure nonsense, but I figure Indy is probably the only team willing to take Vince's contract whilst getting rid of a disappointing JO.

RJ and Miller is redundant though. Miller is a finisher not a creator, same thing with RJ. At least with VC you know he will always find the open man.

The irony of all this is, the Nets are now bringing in this players after Kidd is most likely gone. Its almost like they are taunting him

PG-Devin Harris
SG-Mike Miller
SF-Richard Jefferson
PF-Jermaine O'Neal
C-Nenad Krstic

Bench:
Marcus Williams
Devean George (maybe)
Sean Williams
Stromile Swift
Josh Boone
Diop (to lazy)
Darrel Armstrong

We could still use to trade one of those bigs for a swingman.

I'm going to start the argument, and say I don't think that's a horribile team.

PLEASEE get Mike Miller. he is my favorite player an ive always wanted him on my favorite team!!

although if kid goes and then we get him itll be stupid. why are we adding valuable pieces after we get rid of kidd. why dont we keep kidd and then trade boki+mags for miller. whatever kidd is being a douche and wants out though..

You know I have been wondering this too. Why now is the team making all this moves when Kidd is on the way out? KingofNewark mentioned that maybe Kidd could have burned his bridges in New Jersey. I am beginning to think so too.

Regarding rebuilding, I am against it. Who knows when next teams like Minnesotta and the Sonics will ever make the playoffs? The draft is too risky to bank on.

Retooling is more logical

Dont you think a rebuilding team like yours would be better to hold onto Mag's expiring contract?

I mean right now I'd be trying to trade VC (of course after finishing the Kidd trade) for some prospects/expirings.. and start building around RJ..or if you want to start from scratch RJ could snatch you some really nice prospects and/or picks

^^if the nets do trade carter then it's really time for rebuilding. but once the kidd trade is done, nets get a halfcourt/fast pg who i think would compliment carter and kristic while running with RJ on the break. also, other pieces that will come to the nets will also be expiring contracts which makes a magloire trade a good choice since there are others expiring.

on to the topic, miller for mags and boki and likely a draft pick from the mavs would be great for the nets and fill in a need of shooters in the roster

but with a legit bigman ( say a healthy jo ) and a sharpshooter like miller, that's like a better version of their 01-02 finals team, with martin and kittles at pf/sg. given of course that kidd isnt as good anymore as his 01 version, but he would be surrounded by better players imo
