Wow that makes this Melo trade look even worse. Maybe we could have let Melo go to NJ and do the Melo trade for Williams. Oh well.

If Utah is in firesale mode do you think we could get Okur for expirings?

Utah must’ve really seen Deron as a malcontent. But Favors, Harris, the Nets 1st this year and the Warriors 1st next year is not a bad haul. It’s probably at least as good as Gallo, Chandler, Timo, and Ray, lol. I wonder if AK is next?

The idea of using Chauncey as a 2 with TD as a defend and shoot 1 never occurred to me. I can see D’Antoni using this with either Fields sliding to the 3 or when he’s on the bench. This could take a lot of pressure off Chauncey since he’s you know, 70 years old.

Another pure passing point guard like Sessions would be a nice addition, but I just don’t see it happening. I agree that we’ll see extra e at the 4 AND 5 probably quite often and hopefully he can have a Robert Horry effect instead of a Shwane Williams effect. Again, I don’t see an upgrade at the 5 as possible either. Maybe we bring in a d-leaguer or Barron to fill the extra spot.

massive: So the Nets end up with the better player in this deal? I hate this.

that is a horrible trade for Utah, the nets were going to send four picks to the Nuggets and they only get Harris and Favors.

Caleb: Holy crap, nice move Nets!I wonder if he agreed to extend…. hard to imagine he would, already. If he didn’t, that is one ballsy (or idiotic) trade.

Williams is nice and all but the Nets are still going to suck because Lopez is allergic to rebounding and defense and Vujaci is their starting shooting guard with outlaw on the bench.

@12 Yes, it’s only a disappointment by his very high standards. he’s been great on offense, it’s just that the past few years he’s been maybe the most effective scoring power forward ever, at least in a class with Barkley. And he better be great because he’s a weak rebounder and iffy defender.

I actually don’t think Nash/Felton has much to do with the falloff – if I had to guess, it’s a combination of sore knees (some nights he just doesn’t have it) and overuse. My hope: if he cuts back the load just a bit – with Carmelo – he will return to Phoenix heights..
