Nachbar's Single Factor: Guaranteed Years

[Hunter]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"At the start of the week, we'll start narrowing down teams and talk about offers," said Bostjan Nachbar, referring to his consultations with agent Marc Cornstein. "But like I've said before, I'm giving the Nets the first crack. I want to talk to them first and then see what happens."
The unrestricted free agent readily admits that the negotiation is likely to come down to a single factor: guaranteed years.

And while he cannot admit that his preference for a three-year contract is a deal-breaker, he doesn't deny it, either.

"That's something I will find out next week," Nachbar said.</div>

Sorry Boki. I really enjoyed watching you... you were loyal, a nice guy, and had some of the most vicious dunks I'd ever seen.

Unfortunately, your time has come. The Nets drafted your replacement... a younger, better shooting player who won't step out of bounds 2/3 times while in the corner.

Which "better shooting" player do are you referring to?

How do you know that player is better before they have even played 1 NBA game?

The Nets have a plan, if a player what's to stay, they will accept what the Nets will offer, or they can just leave....just like Mikki a year ago. It's plain and simple, cut and dry. The entire league knows the Nets will not offer more than 2 years to their contract offers.

I would assume he's talking about Ryan Anderson.

Personally I like Nachbar, but I don't want him back. I rather see them trade for Nocioni.

If we didn't have Simmons, Hassell, CDR and Anderson that could play the 3 I wouldn't mind keeping him.

Boki + Hassell + KVH for Nocioni...would that work? That may be too much..but it's something we need to do. as NI said, we've been sending few players and getting more back, so we need a trade like this to balance things out.

 

[Claud]

I like Boki's loyalty but I personally dont think he fits our team anymore..and where we're heading. I think it's time to move on. If you're going to throw money at someone it should be Curly.. 2 year deal.

Can just do Hassell, KVH and protected 1st for Nocioni. Gets the dead weight of Hassell out of here and gives the Bulls immediate relief to re-sign free agents.

Can't say I can blame Boki for trying to get something long(er) term. I wouldn't mind him back at the right price
