At SF we've got Bobby Simmons, Boki Nachbar, Yi Jianlian

At PF there's Sean Williams, Josh Boone, Nenad Krstic

At C there's Diop and Brook Lopez

Don't forget "tweener" Ryan Anderson

What's your depth chart look like? Personally I see Diop not getting resigned, Krstic getting the qualifying offer (QO), and Boki being let go. Then I see two possibilities:

Devin Harris/Marcus
Chris Douglas-Roberts/Ager
Vince Carter/Yi/Simmons/Hassel
Nenad Krstic/Sean Williams/Anderson
Josh Boone/Lopez

Or

Devin Harris/Marcus
Vince Carter/CDR/Ager
Yi/Simmons/Hassel/Anderson
Nenad/Sean
Boone/Lopez


(It's also acceptable to say "Thronikipedia isn't done yet")
 
Harris
Carter
Simmons
Yi
Boone

I think. Maybe. I dunno. We're not done re-shaping the roster, so it's really a moot point right now.
 
Boki is GONE. Take him off the list. And they have a guy to fill his role (Ryan Anderson) who will probably fill it much better and do if for cheap for at least 4 years.
 
The definites are Harris, Carter, and Boone. If Krstic is still here, either he or Yi will claim the 4th starting slot. The wing position vacated by RJ could be filled by a FA (Maurice Evans, James Jones, Mikael Pietrus), by someone the Nets acquire in trade, or by Simmons.
 
PG: Devin Harris 32mins, Marcus Williams (16 mins)
SG: Vince Carter (34 mins), Chris Douglas Roberts (14 minutes)
SF: Bobby Simmons 20 minutes, Ryan Anderson (18 minutes) Chris Douglas Roberts (6 minutes) Yi Jianlin (4 minutes)
PF: Yi Jianlin (22 minutes) Sean Williams (26 minutes)
C: Josh Boone (28 minutes) Brook Lopez (20 minutes)

Diop not resigned, Krstic traded
 
If Frank wasn't against starting rookies id say:

Harris, Marcus
VC, CDR, Ager
Simmons, Anderson, CDR will play minutes here as well. (again this is if Frank didnt have the rookie bias, i dont see Hassell playing)
Yi, Swat
Lopez, Boone

(anyone not mentioned was traded or not signed.(
 
Harris/Williams
Carter/CDR/Ager
Simmons/Anderson/Hassell
Yi/Williams/Swift
Boone/Lopez/Krstic

But I think its safe to say we'll make at least one more move.

Boone is our best big man (Who knows on Lopez), and won't be the last guy in the rotation

Fine if you want to play Anderson and Yi at the 4. Otherwise we won't be able to just have a 4 man rotation.
 
Harris / Marcus
VC/ CDR/ Ager
Simmons/ Anderson/ Hassell
Boone/ SWAT/ Swift
Yi / Lopez

Kristic, Diop , and Boki are gone...lets face it, i just hope we sign a solid backup SG like J.R Smith

I defintly think CDR will make the team
 
Hi Everyone, first post ever, been a huge Nets fan since the Sam I am Cassell Days... (and oh were those dark dark days, haha) and I'm a good buddy of Rory's. I agree with FOMW about Harris and Carter, but the rest is a toss up. Also, being Taiwanese (Chinese) and seeing Yi come over, I have got to say, I really don't think he'll be starting anytime soon at all. He's got a lot of room to grow, he's waaaay to thin and can't board at all yet. He couldn't crack the Bucks roster and I definitely don't think ours is that much better. I would like to see a Boone and Nenad (assuming he's back and healthy) starting 4/5 or a Sean Williams and Nenad starting 4/5. I think they complement each other the best on the Nets. Not super high on Brook but meh, we'll see. As for the three... I could see Vince sliding over and us starting... I dunno, maybe Marcus?! (I really hope not) but most likely Simmons pending health.

Excited to be here!

Simmons and Krstic are wildcards...if we retain Krstic then the numbers automatically get more crunched, so much so that it would be imperative to make a trade with the most likely candidate being either Sean Williams or Ryan Anderson.

If Simmons plays well then he takes minutes away from both Anderson and CDR...If he plays himself out of the rotation then Yi, Anderson and CDR will all see more minutes at small forward.
 
I also wonder, with this roster, could we see Marcus/Harris/Carter start together? We'd need a backup point, but I wouldn't be surprised, depending on how well Simmons does, as well as Ager and CDR, and who else we'd consider starting.
 
my line-up right now as it stands would be:

PG: MWilliams\DArmstron
SG: Harris\Ager\CDR
SF: Carter\Hassel\Anderson\Simmons
PF: Swift\SWilliams\Yi
C: Boone\Kristic\Lopez

People forgot about swift

Why not? Ager's older, more experienced, more athletic, and a better scorer.

CDR was a good pickup, obviously, but a starter? Even a sixth-man? C'mon. The guy was a second round pick in a weak draft. Like I just said in the Bulls fan, he'll be an energy player off the bench in a 10 mpg role at best.
 
OK theres no way Ill be able to predict the future roster moves, but-

Harris, Watson (With Vince getting a little time at point when we want Yi to play 3)
VC,Rush
Yi, Pietrus,CDR,Anderson(with strong defender surounding him)
Boone, Sean Williams
Lopez, Krstic

Were not a great team, probably a 6-8 seed, but at least we should be deep

Yeah I thought he was released after looking at the first depth charts posted...

Yeah you still want your vets to start unless you are seriously trying to dump games for another lottery pick. Be it granted that Kiki said that this team is in no position to make a run for anything. Maybe it would be good to start the young bucks. But how would vince and harris feel knowing. that the season is a wash before it even started.

That is why I have vets over rookies. Plus these rookies aren't immediate starter material. Lopez would move up if we dont have kristic anymore.

Frank is good with sharing time and setting up a rotations. Even though i didnt agree with some of his rotations last season. Like not playing swift and SWilliams more.

Swift over SWilliams is good because its good energy and defense of the bench since williams doesnt know how to stay out foul trouble.

can you beleive that Hassell is our best defensive player. IMO this team is being built more on offense and not defense unlike how the old nets were byron scott era.

No, people just don't see him in the long term plans of the team...or short term apparently!

which is ok as long as he is gone by 2010 when lebron is a free agent. thats all that the FO is doing is getting the pieces in place for when we pick up lebron. Because i doubt lebron will want to come here if the team looks like we are still rebuilding.
 
If there are no more changes on the horizon (highly unlikely), a frontcourt of Yi, Sean Williams, and Krstic is something I would like to see, with Josh Boone and Lopez coming off the bench.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Black Republican @ Jun 27 2008, 01:16 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>sean is a goner, i dont wanna hurt yall feelings.</div>
Maybe...but I think he may stick around for a while.
 
I say none of our free agents are needed anymore.
All we need this summer is a 3rd string pointguard.
DA is fine, if he can take another season.

C - Brooklyn Lopez, Josh Boone, Stromile Swift

PF - Yi Jianlian, Sean Williams, Ryan Anderson

SF - Bobby Simmons, Chris Douglas Roberts, Trenton Hassell

SG - Vince Carter, Julius Hodge, Maurice Ager

PG - Devin Harris, Marcus Williams, “?

(Boone might start over Lopez in the first half of the season, but since Brook was projected as a top3 pick, I hope he can soon become a legit Starting C)

Bye Bye Krstic, Diop and Nachbar!!
We don't have a need nor roster space for any of them.

Vow, I'm so excited for this team!!
 
I dont believe Sean is a goner. I personally see him as our "other draft choice" because he was so raw coming in last year. Their trying to put some weight on him and kiki is doing alot of work with him on his game. He's got innate shotblocking ability, and has TONS of potential. I personally believe that he has the potential to be our super athletic powerforward with more work and be a weakside defender to go along Lopez, who will be the starter at the 5 later in the season. Lopez is a good man to man defender, and regardless of what people think, at the very least he has a bit of toughness in him which will improve our inside.
