NETS TRADE: Ilic, Robinson and Cash to Hornets for David Wesley

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Boki3)</div><div class='quotemain'></p>

Finally made it over from BBB. Have been looking at this site for a few weeks now. This is a GREAT trade. 2 bench players would would be lucky to see any playing time in any game this year for Wesley, who though he may be old, is a good shooter, and adds another guard until Marcus comes back. I see most of you say we hsould cut him, but I say we give him a shot, and lets see what hes got, if hes no good then we can cut him. Howard would be a good signing but I doubt he would sign with us, and he would sign with a team that he sees as a bigger "Championship contender" then what he considers we are. We have opened up a lot of oppurtunities with this trade. We need to adress getting a shooter if Wesley is not what he used to be. Great job rod</p>

Let's sign Mohamed Abukar from Arizona or Mustafa Shakur from SD ST.</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dumpy)</div><div class='quotemain'></p>

We need another wing in case Wright doesn't progress. I'd love for it to be a younger player instead of some retread.</p>

</div></p>

Absolutely agree 100%. We need athleticism, defense, and shooting in that order IMO. I'd take that over a guy in Houston's situation any day.</p>

</p>

 

[jirohkanzaki]

since devin brown and dahntay jones have been scooped up, i agree with cpawfan that derrick byars (defense/offense wing but spotty shooting) would be a nice pickup...</p>

cut malik allen if they can get juwan howard for the minimum (rebounding plus better offense but poorer defense though not that much since allen is not know for defense as well)...</p>

allan houston for more shooting (which was lost when hite left)...</p>

 

[Charles]

</p>

Mile apparently is happy about the trade.</p>

(Love the picture, figured there's not going to be too many more times to use it)</p>

</div></p>

Boston waived Dahntay so he's available.</p>

Malik Allen was playing really well before he got injured and I think they'd be giving up on him too quickly if they did that although he and Howard are similarly skilled bigmen for sure.</p>

</p>

 

[Dark Defender]

I can't see NO keeping Mile, my best guess is that Mile is going back to Europe.</p>

Btw, Welcome to S2 Boki3.</p>

 

[go nets]

guys i dont think hite will be back for the team. if they wanted him to stay they could've kept him for a couple more days till the opener if im not mistaken.</p>

I don't think there was a roster spot open for him at the time.</p>

</p>

Wasn't there some issue about how he wouldn't take a buyout from the Nets because there weren't teams that wanted him there? I thought I heard something along those lines</p>

 

[kdub]

Wow, that's all I can say. Let's bring back Hite or a SG.</p>

 

[Dumpy]

wayne simien? Ronald Dupree? There will be a number of cuts today and tomorrow.</p>

[fiElDy]

great news! i hope they sign marcus williams and/or hite.</p>

</p>

Keeping with that theme, I know who we HAVE to bring back. It's...</p>

Well, you already know.</p>

BOOM GOT THEM THO!</p>

 

[MFNetsFan]

Thron just did an excellent job of cutting lose some dead weight.</p>

I think the last thing he'll do is go and add some more.</p>

Hite looked AWFUL in the preseason; summer league success doesn't translate to the regular season.</p>

No one out there right now would see any meaningful playing time barring injuries... so imho, its best to keep the roster flexible and only bottom feed if we have to.</p>

 

[Dumpy]

I assume they will sign Houston, like everyone else. It is just fun to run through the list of decent prospects that have recently been cut. The Nets could probably deal with someone like that as a 15th man, but not a 14th man--not given the need for a good shooting wing. I assume they won't carry 15 players to start the year. Yaroslav Korolev!</p>

 

[Dumpy]

Kerry Kittles!</p>

 

[NJNetz]

This is way unexpected. It seemed like we were going to be stuck with Illic. Nice move, Thorn.</p>

 

[rory]

Rodney Buford?</p>

 

[CelticKing]

Good move by the Nets.</p>

Now you can compete with us Celtics.</p>

lol

</p>

 

[Universe]

I kinda feel bad for Ilic who really seemed to be getting use to the lifestyle here but it's hard to save a guy for the future when the guy ahead of him is only 24 years old.</p>

I'd like to see one of these spots given to someone young like Byars, Jordan orNichols and get the use out of that D-League spot just to see what we can actually muster up.</p>

 

[Real]

In Rod We Trust.</p>

Think of how many times over the past six years you've said it. It's part of the reason why Rod is so good, little moves like this.</p>

What I didn't expect is this little story to end up on the front page of ESPN.com.</p>

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Thron did it! Hornets give us boki, and give us our trash.</p>

New slogan is "In Thron we trust"</p>

 

[Jizzy]

I want Allan Houston.</p>

 

[Jizzy]

Derrick Byars wouldn't be bad.</p>

 

[cdigs]

How about Jared Jordan?</p>

 

[Kid Chocolate]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (cdigs)</div><div class='quotemain'></p>

</div></p>

</p>

Why? Kidd, DA, Marcus coming back...</p>

6 big men...idk about that.</p>

[/QUOTE]</p>

</p>

If they re-sign Hite, they'd have four point guards. (Kidd, Williams, Armstrong, and Hite.)
I'd like to see them get Houston and Hite, but who knows.</p>

[/QUOTE]</p>

Hite isn't a PG</p>

Thank you.</p>

According to Al/Dave, Stefanski says Wesley's not coming.</p>

Saving Money - Al Iannazzone - In the 'Zzone

Late Trade - Dave D'Alessandro - Nets Blast

Nets acquire Wesley - - Sports Network

Wesley returns to Nets in trade with Hornets - - AP

Wesley climbed above the radar - John Hillman - Waco Tribune Herald

More on the trade and what's next - Al Iannazzone - In the 'Zzone</p>

 

[zєяσ]

Very nice trade. So we have 2 spots available now right(assuming we waive Wesley)?</p>

</p>

How about Hite(decent shooter and athlete, we have seen what he can do, and he knows our system to an extent) and Eddie Gill(considering our pg situation, Marcus is hurt, we seen him play and he knows our system to an extent)? We would leave the last spot for another big man or another wing.</p>

</p>

Rotation:</p>

Kidd/Marcus/DA/Gill
Carter/Wright/Hite
Jefferson/Nachbar
Collins/M.Allen/Boone
Krstic/Magliore/S.Williams</p>

</p>
