Mad Max!

What a legend back in the days. As a kid, I used to kick ass with Maxwell and Olajuwon in NBA Jam

NO indication that rumor is true...more importantly, the league's general counsel, Joel Litvin, signalled last night that the NBA would not look kindly on a team taking on an older player just to make a deal work. He did say KVH is young enough to be considered a viable player.

This is going to happen, IMHO, and I don't think it's the end of it. I think there will be a second trade before the deadline. On the other hand, I think the Nets are about to go through a period of mediocrity that will make some of the long-time fans on the board nostalgic. Devin Harris is TJ Ford writ just a bit larger: skinny kid with great speed who blasts into the paint...and gets wrecked. He has been injured a lot of his career. There's a reason for that: the way he plays. This isn't the 1980's or 1990's. Players are bigger and stronger.

NI, saying "mediocrity" and "Nets" in the same sentence this season is not a problem

Well, hopefully Harris is less injury prone in the east? doubtful.

So from what I can tell it looks like this:

To Nets:
--Devin Harris
--Desagana Diop
--Maurice Ager
--Keith Van Horn
--Jerry Stackhouse or Trent Hassell
--two first round picks, one second round pick (?)
--$3 million in cash (?)

To Mavs:
--Jason Kidd
--Malik Allen
--Antoine Wright (?)

Cut?:
--Darrell Armstrong

There are other permutations I assume that are out there in this trade and others...and I am speculating about Armstrong, but the Nets at best will be doing a 5-for-3 swap, maybe even a 5-for-2 swap.

Why not just designate Marcus to the D-league, make the Mike Miller trade and then recall Marcus...it could all happen within a 24 hour period anyway.

On hoopshype they have Shawn Bradley for one year at 6 plus million. Is he a tradable peice or did he retire?

 

[soul driver]

we'll be getting a 1 for 2 if we get miller for boki/mags, so that saves a roster spot

I'd rather cut Malik and trade Darrell. No need to do Darrell dirty like that.

 

[SportsTicker]

Armstrong would be signed by the Mavs.

Allen is needed for the deal. They are losing Diop and need help up front.

I don't think the Nets taking back more players than senidng out is an issue. Considering the are willing to move Wright for a cap hold, they could just cut him w/ the saving they are making already, they are no where near the luxury tax, & there won't be any ramifications except losing a piece to match in terms of salaries in other trades for the next week.

He would still be considered a player on the Nets 15-man roster, this isn't baseball.
