OK, its a bit far out to trade so many players in season, and I don't know what the Nets would do with all this. But Battier isn't a bad guy to have around while rebuilding, he'd keep the ship straight.
Francis should be bought out (again
) or just cut. The Nets then cash in on four expiring contracts, with three talents among them.
Rockets might have to butter the Nets with a first rounder, and maybe the Warriors aren't loving Mike James (though they might), and need a secondrounder or a lot of gift certificates.
Just three MVP-caliber players on one team... that would be a thing of beaty - even if two of them are a couple of steps over the hill.
