Why can't Thorn ever get someone like

[furnace]

Someone who can hit an open 3.

During the Jason Kidd era, and now in the Devin Harris era, the Nets have no shortage of open looks from 3.

Boki has hit his fair share, but he can't do it alone. If he's cold, there is no one else. Last year, House and Boki balanced each other out. The Nets need another...


Who's available?

 

[pegs]

Um. I doubt we'll be able to pick up a shooter outside of the draft. I mean, this is Rod Thorn we're talking about.

Prepare to be disappointed. :\

 

[Universe]

Kareem Rush or get lucky with a rookie.

Remember how sure we were about Wrights range in the draft though?

 

[Lavalamp]

Well Barry went to the Spurs, and I'm sure if the Nets had been winning championships they'd have been able to attract him.

Kapono got a huge contract of 24 mill over 4 years. So I don't Thorn wanted to pay Kapono that much when they have RJ and Vince Carter taking up most the minutes.

Hoiberg, I dunno, the Nets could have probably got him lol. He just liked the Wolves organization and had a heart problem so he couldn't continue.

 

[shankyoass]

Since you guys are planning on trading RJ, and Toronto needs a wing and a 2nd scorer behind Bosh (RJ fits both criteria), why don't Toronto do a trade revolving around Kapono and RJ? Kapono has been stepping it up and fits a need.

Maurice Ager, mark it down somewhere

Seriously, can Maurice do it? I know nothing about him.

 

[SirLaker]

Nachbar?

Where'd he go?

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

No where, unfortunately.

 

[SirLaker]

I thought he was a good spot up shooter. You guys should have tried to pickup Gircek.

 

[SportsTicker]

Deep shooting off the bench has never been a priority. Closest they came was House.

Nets dont seem to want to pay players who do nothing but shoot from deep.

Boki shot 43.2% from deep in 2006-07. They thought he could duplicate that. He couldn't. They made an offer to Roger Mason. He went back to the Wiz.

Spending $4 million on Magloire when they could have spent it on Posey was a huge mistake. Celts outbid them for Posey and House because they had already spent money on Magloire.

Thorn got the priorities wrong.

Obviously Kapano could not be the centerpiece of such a deal. But a package starting with Anthony Parker and Kapono might be worth looking at.

 

[ghoti]

No to Kapono. He makes Boki look like Bruce Bowen.

And as much as I LOVE Parker, he's too old to trade RJ for.

I'm sure JJ Redick is available. Cheap!

 

[NJ savior]

JR Smith is our shooter of the bench and he will be commanding 4 years 24mil....

I was watching him in the playoffs today and he is going to be a good player in this league. If we get a veteran coach to teach him how to play defense he can be kobe like. Offer him the starting job at shooting guard and move vince to small forward and trade rj. If not have JR backing up those two and we will have our wing problem solved.

 

[TheKidHypno]

i saw on realgm a magic fan proposed this trade.....

NJ gets
Hedo and JJ Redick

Orlando gets
RJ and Marcus

i would love that deal

 

[E. Ville Von Love]

that would be a great deal. id cry if that happen. joyful tears though.

two guys id love to see on my nets are korver or mike miller.

 

[ghoti]

Hedo is a hero in Orlando.

There's a better chance of getting Kobe than him.

If Smith tried to make that deal Stern would have to send him to the same place the odd socks go that get lost in the dryer and Giuliani sent the homeless people in Times Square. (I assume it's the same place.)

 

[E. Ville Von Love]

if JR smith ever came to the nets i think id choke myself via said odd socks

yeah but fans are scared he may leave for a bigger contract when he's a fa

 

[GMJ]

Well his contract ends in the summer of 2010. Would we be willing to pay him? no...

 

[Jizzy]

we had one, his name was eddie house. ironic, the only good shooter we had, we let go

yea it still pisses me off we let him go, i can understand mikki moore but House was are 1st true shooter.

 

[Lavalamp]

Boki has to be considered a pure shooter when he was doing well.

to bad he had one fluke year. check his career, houston, new orleans, he was just as bad as this year. he had one year where nobody expected anything from him and he shined.

 

[shankyoass]

What about looking to bring in Sasha Vujacic from the Lakers? He finally got playing time this year and he's shotting 44% from the arc IIRC. I think he's a FA this offseason.

 

[Joey FistPump]

To be honest I'm still kind've bummed that we didn't get Mike Miller this year...he easily could have been a 6th man type of player us...or a replacement for either RJ or Vince...

If there is any way we get get JR Smith I would love to see it happen...dude is talented, albeit troubled.

 

[Netted]

If Thorn doesn't want to spend big money for a one trick pony then he should draft Shan Foster with the 2nd rd pick. From everything I read on this kid he can probably knock'em down blind folded.

He's also knocking them down in the playoffs.

 

[Claud]

IMO if all we need is a pure shooter, no D then JJ redick for cheap. Or maybe we can use our 2nd round pick for Foster?
or Mike Miller would work
