Nets Try To Move Jackson And Planinic

[BALLAHOLLIC]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NorthJersey.com - Rod Thorn stood a few feet from Melvin Ely on Wednesday night. It may be the closest the Nets' president gets to one of the big men he covets before the trading deadline of a week from today. The Nets have been rebuffed in their efforts to get the 6-foot-11 Bobcats big man, whom many teams are pursuing. All is quiet for the Nets now, but Thorn said that could change. League executives, including Thorn, will be in Houston this weekend for the All-Star game. "Don't ever rest All-Star Weekend," he said. "That is when everyone is together." The Nets are trying to move Marc Jackson and Zoran Planinic, but haven't found any takers. They could deal either or both to a team under the cap for a draft pick or two, and then sign Tim Thomas if the Bulls waive him. Thorn is getting offers for the Nets' two 2006 first-round picks -- their own and the Clippers'. But he said he's "not getting anything I would consider."</div>http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/391...n_and_planinic/

Thats good to hear, both of them are just totally slacking and not playing up to there potential and quite frankly there not doing anything when they go in.

Yeah neither one have them have been worth a thing to the Nets this year. Best case scenario is that they can deal both of them for a better PF, but it seems more likely that they'll just get picks for them, maybe another guy for the bench and then try to land Tim Thomas if they can.

Not so much that they havent played up to par, moreso that they haventh gotten too much of an oppurtunity to play valuable minutes. I think there is a good chance they will be dealt because Thorn doesnt have too many pieces to trade if he wants to make an acquisition before the deadline, assuming he isnt looking at a blockbuster and wants to hold on to the big four and work around that..
