Nets turned down #13 and #33 for #10

[infinet]

Why has this deal NOT been completed!

It's basically getting us a solid backup PG who plays hard nosed defense; for moving down 3 spots in a draft that's pretty much even and can go anywhere picks 6 - 15. To me, this is a no brainer. I have wanted Jack in a Nets uni since the '05 draft. I had him on my wishlist that year (with *sigh* Granger). If this rumored deal is true, then Thorn better do it now.

I'm not liking the idea of this trade at all, actually. We can probably get rid of Ager and/or Hassel during the season, or in the summer, if need be..

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Hassell has been tough to dump. IF they are willing and we can still get DG then its a no brainer.

We would then have too many picks and would maybe be looking to package them for a vet or one more pick in the teens.



Hopefully we can get Portland and Sacramento bidding for the pick a little bit.

getting rid of hassell's contract, getting a solid backup pg, moving down only 3 spots and getting another high 2nd rounder? good deal for the #10...i'd take it. i'd rather pay vujacic the money going to hassell...jarrett jack can make trading marcus less painful...these are proven players compared to an unknown we will get at #10.

 

[danxcr]

trading marcus wouldnt be painful at all...

and i wouldnt care if we got jack or blake... both are solid back up PG's hmmm but if 10 is gonna be gordon im goin gordon! if its brook... freakin trade it

 

[soul driver]

Why the hate for Brook? If we get him, we wouldn't need to keep Kristic around.

 

[Joey FistPump]

Everybody is ready to get rid of a 22 year old PG who after spending the majority of the season injured showed flashes of potential greatness over the last two months of the season. He averaged 11 points, 6.5 assists and 4 rebounds a game as a starter and 7.1 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds over the last 36 games while seeing 19 minutes of action per night.

Give the kid a chance.

it is only painful because trading marcus iwould leave us with zero backup pgs...gordon looked great at times but erratic at other times...i like how he can get to the ft line and shoot 83% from there...

My $.02:


The draft is pretty even in quality from 3 to 10, but drops off at 11 or 12. No way would I trade down to 13 just for an Ager-Jack switch. And I like Jack a lot.

If I'm the Nets, I stay at 10 and take the BPA. Pretty much any of Gordon, Bayless, Lopez, and Gallinari can get 20-25 minutes off the bench and provide some needed punch. Gordon is the gem of the crop.

If it's Bayless, I would pick him and immediate start exploring a trade with Miami if they still have Beasely. . . Bayless+21+Swift for Beasely+Blount is my opening bid. . .

 

[User01]

this would suck... there are 8 guys I like in this draft, and with Westbrook and Alexander likely gone too, we should get one at 10, but not 13. And Jack sucks.

Jack and Blake are both pgs... and better than marcus art this stage.

Steve Blake is sick. I hope we get him.

^that might make me vomit.

 

[J-HoAgZ]

I don't like this trade. How do you guys feel? Maybe I can be convinced into liking it.

 

[soul driver]

been saying it since it was first announced, and now dislike it even more.

 

[SeanWilliamsTheFuture51]

i think its good we didn't trade because there is a big step from the people who can fall down to ten then the guys at 13

 

[Hunter]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>There is at least one contingency deal the Nets are considering with Portland. If they don't get the player they want at 10 -- probably Jerryd Bayless, but that possibility looked less likely last night -- they were prepared to swap picks with Portland at 13. In that case, the Nets would take Robin Lopez and be satisfied.</div>

If we draft Rush with #13 I'm not too upset by it. I wouldn't be adverse to picking him at #10, so I get to swap Marcus for Jack in the process. The only thing that gives me pause is I'm not overly familiar with Jack. From what little I've seen he never really stood out to me.

If they take Robin Lopez I won't be thrilled. He seems similar to Boone to me, which isn't bad, but we have Boone already.

I really don't like Jack. I hope Kiki doesn't fall in love with these undersized SG's like Jack and Ager.
