I’m pretty fascinated by the Nets these days.
With just a reasonable level of competence by Billy King and Dwight Howard’s agent, the Nets could easily be going into this season with a line-up of Deron, Ray Allen/Mayo, Harrison Barnes, Brook Lopez and Dwight.

Spears did, at least, separate restricted and unrestricted in the “other” section.

RFAs and UFAs should be on separate lists, for starters.

thankfully for us, Smith’s value should be at an alltime low currently.

And it says a lot about JR Smith’s state in the world that he was in the “other” section, after ten-twelve other guys, including CJ freakin’ Miles.

Or maybe it says that Spears is way off base, as he also left Novak off of his list completely.

Marc Spears ranked the available free agents. I agree that D-Will is #1 and I guess I can see Duncan #2 and Nash #3, but Chauncey Billups (returning from an injury at age 64) over Ersan Ilyasova and Jeremy Lin? I don’t buy that at all.

Bulleya1: Do you guys think any of the recently released players like Rashard Lewis, Michael Beasley or Anthony Randolph would be of any use here for the knicks?

I like AR no doubt..I would live for him to back up Amare..but rite now with Stat bein kinda fragile..I'd rather scoop Beasley up as insurance due to his offensive prowess. But man..replacing JJ with AR would be awesome...heartbreaking but awesome becuz the kid still can handle the rock, block shots and rebound. Plus he has twice the offense...but half the bball IQ. Also..if Hickson didn't get a QO..it would also be great if he agree to 3 mil..I like him backing Stat up as well

@8 no kidding.

Nets haveade so many idiotic moves the last few years, they really have zero to trade. Most times, if Howard is determined to go there, Orlando would just have to suck it up and do the deal – better than losing him for nothing. In this case, they can probably get a better trade offer from some team that just wants him for a one-year rental. Best the Nets could do is an S&T with Kris Humphries, and sometihng like 2015 and 2017 draft picks. Anyone with a draft pick next year can make Orlando a better offer, and there are probably 5 or 6 teams he turns into a title contender, even if it’s just for a year.

Of course if the Nets can be patient, D-Ho could still come to Brooklyn in 2013. Him and D-Will would be a tough team.

@6 Nets are probably talking about Josh Smith because everyone thinks he wants to play with Howard and vice-versa.

I’d love Kyle lowrey as the back up point guard. If for no other reason, I could say his name as pronounced by Martin Lawrence, circa bad boys.

Yahoo reporting Nets are in discussions with the Hawks on a Joe Johnson trade. LOL
