Kmart heading to Denver for three first round picks!!!

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After it looked as though talks between the teams had been extinguished, the Denver Nuggets are on the verge of completing a sign-and-trade with the New Jersey Nets for All-Star forward Kenyon Martin, league sources told ESPN.com. The Nuggets, according to sources, have agreed to send at least three future first-round picks to the Nets, who would sign Martin to a seven-year deal worth just over $90 million and then ship him to Denver. The trade, sources said, is likely to be completed Thursday. It's believed that no other players are involved in the trade

Maybe Atrain will play PF next season, and sign Ray Allen in 2006-2007.

I agree with u, Kiddfan2004 ! Nets has money to sign Ray Allen.

Yeah I agree too.

The Nets will probably not be focusing on adding a bigtime wing player this year or next, their main focus needs to be improving a frontline that just got 10x worst with the loss of K-Mart. Its hard to see how we can legitimately compete with Aaron Williams & Jason Collins both as starters on our frontline? So the Nets need some big bodies in a hurry


I am still in shock the Nets let K-Mart go(if this is true) so easily. I mean yeah we got three draft picks(well two actually because the Nets gave up a 1st round pick this year when thinking about re-signing Martin, so basically one of those 1st round pick is just getting back the 1st rounder we lost in a certain way) But the way the 1st round & draft in general, has been lately, if you dont get a lottery pick, its going to be hard to get someone that isnt a major project player. So its know telling if any of those picks will turn into anything.
 
The nuggets are going to be strong this year!
 
I don't know what to say. I was expecting 15 days of suspense and now this?
 
this is one of the worst days in Nets history when they let one of their star players go with out any real compensation. Now i wish they did some real sign and trade for like Stromile Swift or someone that can sort of fill the spot of Kenyon. But now we are really in a rebuilding stage with no improvements at all this is going to be the worst. Unless they sign a decent PF in the free agents on market. Lets just sign Keon Clark, DeShawn Steveson or Toni Kukoc, Derek Fisher, and try to make a push for Stromile Swift and that should compensate for our loss.
 
Bad news...Nets roster looking kind of empty to me.
Nets need to get some free agents before it's too late
 
Very interesting. I'll have to agree with InNETSwetrust, this is just all too sudden.

Hmm, maybe they are just building for the future..? Although I thought their future was Kenyon Martin, but obviously not anymore...

No, the Nuggets are gonna be stronger!
 
Wow

I am speechless...pretty good trade for both teams here. Nets will get 3 round picks(IMO that doesnt really matter) but they also free a lot of cap room. Hopefully K-mart develops his post game in Denver and not just getting easy dunks and oops from Kidd.

Nets fans around the world are you ya mad cause i am. Now he really needs to make moves. I knew Ratner was going to bring this team down shouldn't have belived a word he said.
 
Heck yeah I'm mad. Saying that he'll do anything to sign KMart. Saying that he's thinking of winning. Yeah 3 first rounders will give us W's
 
Yes, I'm mad, but at the back of all our heads, we expected soemthing like this to happen. There's only to look on now. Next year's draft is looking all right and we might be able to acquire some quality frontcour players (Hakim Warrick, Charlie Villanueva, Kosta Perovic). You remember what happened last time we had 3 first rounders. Time to keep our head up and wish the best for Martin but at the same time, excited.

I still say we'll make the playoffs with a healthy RJ and Kidd. Hey, maybe even be able to sign Stromile Swift as compensation, but I don't want to get any of y'all hopes up.
 
Man, that's a huge blow for Nets fan. That could take them out of the home court race next year possibly. Martin was a huge part of that Nets offense, it's going to be a lil different without him next for the Nets.
 
Denvers going to be a crazy team with martin and melo. You gotta admit this off season has gotten crazy. With Orlando, Maimi, Phoenix, and Detriot making their teams so much more stronger its going to be a great season to watch next year. Lets see what else the the off season can bring. The one we let go is going to bring intensity to the nuggets hes going to ignite a fire in that team expect them to be a more emotional team with more heart with Kenyon. Also I wonder how Jkidd feels about this cause I know this isn't what he signed up for now he deffinatly has no big man and RJs numbers are going to look so much better because they lost another go to guy. They better pick up somebody and soon before everybody is gone
 
If the nets have to part with Martin, they should get the draft picks and Nene. The nuggets are way over thier head with thier petty offers. Martin is a popularity player that brings in $$$ despite his play, and the GM needs to convince the Nuggets of that and get Nene in return.

If the Nets do not get any big bodies in return, I want to see them bring in Kristic this upcoming season. I heard that the guy can offer up some half-court game when the Nets are not running.

I will not be happy fan if Nets do not get proper compensation...
 
i think this will be a serious blow to k-marts game, without kidd, he won't be doing as good as he had been doing with the nets.
 
Done deal

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The New Jersey Nets have agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Denver Nuggets that will send power forward Kenyon Martin to Denver in exchange for three future first-round draft picks, the Nets announced Thursday

The picks coming from Denver include one of the Nuggets' own first-rounders, as well as a first-round selection from the Los Angeles Clippers and the Philadelphia 76ers that the Nuggets acquired in past deals. According to the Nets, included are the Clippers' first-round pick in 2005 (protected for overall picks 1 through 14) or '06, the 76ers' first-rounder in '05 (protected for picks 1-8), '06 (protected for picks 1-5) or '07, and Denver's first-rounder in '06 (protected for picks 1-5), '07 (protected for top two), or '08.

Martin is expected to receive a seven-year deal worth more than $90 million from New Jersey before he is shipped to Denver. Denver is able to take on Martin without having to trade any payroll back because it is far enough under the cap to absorb Martin's first-year salary -- nearly $11 million if Martin gets the anticipated deal.


The Nuggets will still have salary cap space remaining after the trade, though the exact amount will be determined by the structure of Martin's new contract.</div>

Nets acquire three first-round picks
 
its a shame i guess, but we all have to trust Ed Stefanski's drafting in the future.
 
damn this sucks. Sad day in nets franchise history. But now we have to look to the future and see what we can get in free agency
 
Does any one know what the status of the Nets bringing in Nenad Kristic are?

Think that they need to bring him over desperatly considering the power forward void.
 
Nenad Krstic might be a star that we don't know, he is tall 7"11.

KMart without Kidd won't perform that well, we must wish Jefferson + Kidd + Krsitc the JKK line be very strong.
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Nenad Krstic might be a star that we don't know, he is tall 7"11.</div>

I think that's a typo unless I missed something and he grew a foot. I hope for the latter cause it would be nice to have a near 8 foot center with athleticism.
 
I heard rumors that he did not grow suddenly, so it might not be a typo after all
