<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>As hard as the Nets are trying to trade Kidd, they are devoting nearly as much attention to shopping Vince Carter. One prominent player agent, who did not want to be identified, said a Carter-Jermaine O'Neal swap -- with the Nets tossing in an additional piece -- would be the likeliest endgame if the Pacers are unable to find a preferable deal for a young prospect and expiring contracts.</div>

I think this would be a great deal for us. We get the big man we need, and have a very, very good five (if Kidd stays):

Pg-Kidd
Sg-Wright
Sf-Jefferson
Pf-O'Neal
C-Kristic

We could go far in the playoffs with this team.
 
Anyone think Thorn is dumb enough to do a Sean Will/Carter for O'Neal?
 
It could pay off...but to me, it seems more like a sideways move than anything. Unless, of course, we're trading Jermaine somewhere else.

I'm almost expecting that to happen. Unfortunately :\
 
i bet this team struggles to score even more with that trade.
 
You guys seem to be putting this trade down a lot. Why? He will be the guy who we could throw the ball down to him in the post and score. This will give us the inside game we have lacked for a long time now.
 
LOL ok, now we trade for J.O? Now that we got Boone /Williams doing well, no Jason Collins, The Sto Show's studying his Nets flash cards, and Curly is somewhat back from the dead. Hell, even Carter's got a pulse again?

Now we make the J.O trade? Reeely???

I'm glad this will not happen.

Yeah. We're not all too high on Jermaine O'neal. He's not exactly the type of player we'd like.

Btw, Welcome to S2! Sorry I didn't say welcome earlier, haha. PM me if you have any questions.
 
why do we need a broken down, injury prone player for? I'd be surprised if he has 3 more years left in the league.

I doubt that, hes only 29.

There's no denying his best years are behind him, though. I'd prefer to watch our young guys get some PT, rather than have JO and his massive contract eating up their time.

There is no way we are trading Williams. Thorn is not a idiot.

Welcome to S2, Richard Jefferson! If you have any questions, lemme know.

Depends on what Sactown wants. My guess is that they wouldn't want Carter, so that probably wouldn't happen. But hey, ya never know.
 
Carter+Magloire works but I'm not sure I want JON in the condition that he is now. Carter is also playing well as of late (for the past two games, anyway), perhaps he was awakened by that elbow to the face? If Thorn somehow gets JON without losing the "big three" I would love him long time but alas, the numbers just do not work

Boy I don't know, Sac's having their first horrid attendance year. Bring in a dazzler like VC.....the Maloofs are business men first and foremost, who knows, Thorn should sell him, bypass Petrie and get the Maloof's ear. I'd probably think they want a pick back, and send back a hefty contract, SAR or Moore. Artest is making what 6.5 this season?
 
Do not be suprised if we part with Josh Boone, Pacers have to demand a young good player. Indiana's Ike Diogu experiment hasn't been that sucessful we all know, Thorn isn't going to trade Williams for nothing
 
Why acquire a broken down PF who has 3 years left on a MAX contract...at 19.7M this year 21.2M next year and 23M 2009/2010.

Yes, you might say he is 29, but dont forget he has been in this league for 12 years....

since 2004 thru this all star break he has missed a total of 100 games.

say what you want about Vince Carter but only missed 13 games in the same time span...

and everyone seems to forget Vince doesnt have a MAX contract....and has a team option for the 5th which is only partially guaranteed.


NO GO FOR THIS TRADE!

I wouldn't have said it that way but yeah, I agree. You acquire JON and you're just taking minutes away from your most effective players (Boone/Smokey), and giving minutes to your least effective players (Wright/Marcus). Two steps back.

i will kill him if he trades sean, you can take that to the bank and cash it
 
Can we at least get a guard back as well? I dont want Wright freaking starting.
 
if they add marquis daniels, then do it. were gonna need to throw in mags tho
 
maybe if we get Granger back too. Otherwise I can't think of a single positive. Vince is much better, much healthier, a much better clubhouse influence, and we are a lot weaker at the wings than down low. Vince even makes less money year to year, and is only I think about a year older. and we're throwing something else in too? We don't have a contract terrible enough to make it worth it. maybe if we get couple picks too, I'd consider it. But if we don't get Granger or multiple picks, **** no to this.

My thoughts exactly.
 
Found out a perfect trade for everyone:

Nets get:
Marquis Daniels
Jermaine O'Neal
Jamaal Tinsley

Mavs get:
Jason Kidd
Darrell Armstrong
Malik Allen

Pacers get:
Vince Carter
Antoine Wright
Maurice Ager
Jason Terry
Erick Dampier
Jamaal Magloire

Every team does not enter rebuilding mode and it really is good for all teams to satisfy the needs and demands of each team.
 
Only reason I would ever trade for Jermaine O'Neal is if we were keeping Kidd and making a run for the playoffs.

Even then, I'd feel that for all of his troubles in the playoffs, trading Vince Carter for O'Neal would not make much of a difference, at least not positively.

One thing you can say for this team, they have Boone and Sean, who bring something that no Net playoff team has seen since probably 2004. Shotblocking, rebounding, athleticism down low (aside from Curly).
 
Why would we trade for O'neal? He's only 29? That's pretty old considering he's injury proned and came straight out of high school...12 years in the league is a long time.

Carter is 31, Oneal is 29
about 1 and half years older than O'neal

Carter has played in 667 games.
O'neal has played in 716 games.

So while Carter is the older by almost two years he actually has played in 49 less games than O'neal.
