<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Kerber)</div><div class='quotemain'>Add Two More
By FRED KERBER

ORLANDO - Eduardo Najera and Jarvis Hayes are coming as the Nets' makeover continues.

The Nets have reached an agreement in principle with both forwards - the 6-8 Hayes with a two-year deal (the first year guaranteed) for $3.9 million and Najera for four years and about $12 million.</div>

Can't believe they did a 4 year deal on Najera. Scratch Nocioni now.
 
More info. Apparently it's a front loaded deal.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (D'Alesandro)</div><div class='quotemain'>Najera will receive a four-year contract that will average roughly $3.0 million, but is structured with a smaller salary on the back end so that the team will still have some flexibility in 2010, when they want to play the free agent market.</div>

What in the bloody hell is this? 4 years? This has to be a joke, right?
 
A four year front-loaded deal ain't bad, I like Najera.

Would have preferred Nocioni but oh well, was far fetched anyway.

I wonder if he's gonna sign a no-trade clause, at this price he's a very movable contract in comming years.
 
Najera for 4 years? And they are still stuck with Hassell for two more years?

ThornKiki better have a trade or two to pull out of their ass.
 
I don't care if the deal is front-loaded, signing Najera for four years is more than perplexing.
 
And what happened to Dooling? Can they use their trade exception in a sign and trade with Denver so they can still use their MLE? What the hell?
 
I always like him but we really dont need him now. This must be for marketing purposes.
 
unless this is all to leverage JR Smith? I mean, contract's not signed, right?
 
If it's 4 years for the league minimum, then that's cool. Otherwise, WTF? And why both of them?
 
Really dumb to sign Najera. Good player, but the wrong situation.

Nets have 16 players under contract, and Stefanski pulled off the signing of the summer. Ugh.
 
Maybe they'll incorporate a S&T with Denver now and add in Camby?

Otherwise we won't have an MLE left (Especially if the Najera deal is front loaded). We do have a $3.3mm TE. They can always ask Orlando to sign Dooling and trade him for the TE.

What's the max a contract can decline over the years? Petey, I think you mentioned to me the percentage once before.
 
Najara is the 10th most marketable player in the NBA
 
They sooooooo better get rid of Hassell in a trade now. I'm just confused right now.

The same % of increases.

All of you crying about Najera are going to love him when he actually plays.

I don't love the contract, but I doubt he'll be a Net for all of it.

So I guess it declines by 8%. That means he's signing for $3.4mm this season and the next 3 years will be about $3.125mm, $2.875mm, $2.65mm.

If that's right I'm sorry but $2.875mm in 2010 is not a huge amount of flexibility compared to $3mm if they just straight lined it.

I think he's a really good player, but I don't think he's a starter and if he's a bench player where does that leave the rookies?

I rather see better starters, like a Camby or Nocioni and the young guys coming off the bench. Najera is the type of player that the Spurs or Celtics sign to come off the bench.

I'm dying to know what the master plan is here. I really think they have something up their sleeve.
 
So how is the front court situation going to play itself out?

If they try to sign and trade Krstic to the Nuggets for Camby, then what do they do with Swift and hopefully Hassell in a trade? I even hope Simmons ends up getting traded. Now they have a logjam in SF's with Simmons, Najera, and Hassell in addition to a logjam in the frontcourt.

I want a better quality starting SF and better quality starting front court player or two.

That type of contract is very movable. Look at the 76ers rumored trades. Him and a pick for a TE and a lower/2nd round pick would see him off if the Nets are in the position to make major moves.

Basically this is what Kiki did in Denver, created a logjam at PF. I think this is part of a process of developing assests, that can be used to gain flexability down the road.

Anyway both Simmons and Hayes are a bit injury bitten and Najara might be health insurance.

At this point I kind of expext us to enter the season with a loaded roster, and that the Rooks may see a little less PT. Well at least they can better prepare for the difficult 82 game season, without excessive wear.

True, but going after Najera with Dooling still on the market is baffling. Dooling is the piece we needed.

With the exception of Hassan Adams, I think LF has handled every rookie perfectly.

I'm not worried about their development.
 
Nets roster as how I see it at the moment:

Harris/ ?
Carter/Hayes/CDR
? /Najera
? /Yi/Anderson
?/Lopez

Krstic:

Might bring him back or use him in a sign and trade

Nachbar:

sign and trade possibility still open

Youngs guys to use in a trade:

Marcus
Sean
Boone

Players to use in a trade as contract filler and who I don't want to see on the roster

Hassell
Simmons
Swift
Van Horn
Ager


I wonder how Boki feels about them signing Najera.
 
Can Hayes play 2 guard? I guess Simmons (if his ankle is healthy) and CDR can play some.

They still have part of their MLE for Dooling. And then have players to trade/move now too.
