<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Real @ Jan 24 2008, 09:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A reported discussion between the Nets and Chicago involving Andres Nocioni was dismissed as inoperative by both sides yesterday. Two reasons: Nocioni is a base-year compensation player, which means only half his $8.5 million salary could be brought back in trade, which means the Nets can only send about $4.25 million back to the Bulls; and the Bulls had zero interest ("It sounds like fan trade," one official cracked) in what the Nets were offering.
More to the point, the Nets seem "paralyzed" right now, which is how one general manager described their personnel situation yesterday.
"I have no doubt Rod would love to make a move at this point," said the GM, who requested anonymity so as not to meddle in Thorn's affairs, "but I think he's seeing that their players don't really have big (trade) value. People like their young bigs (Sean Williams and Josh Boone), but <span style="color:#FF0000"><span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%">very few teams would take the others, including the Big 3, because of their contracts</span></span>."
For the third straight day, Thorn reiterated yesterday that "we aren't close at all to doing anything," and that he and Kiki Vandeweghe have spoken to every team in the league in the past two weeks.</div>

That's why we need to trade Kidd and Carter now...they are only going to diminish in value as every day passes.

This team has painted itself into a corner and is basically screwed. The Carter signing looks extremely dumb right now. What is his already diminishing game going to look like in 2-3 years? He'll be screaming at the top of his lungs for foul calls.
If they lose to Minny (who beat the Suns last night, btw) and end up going 0-6 or 1-5 on this road trip it will be interesting to see what the team and management have to say. They gotta do something if that happens.
They really should have just done Kidd & Boone for Devin Harris, Dampier & Stackhouse. That would have worked and Dallas probably would have done that earlier in the year, before Harris really started playing well. Harris is going to be a good pg for many more years.
