Nets rebuliding form

[deviljets7]

Why bother. Yi will expire in a year anyway, and its not like we will need the cap to sign anyone this year. We still have enough to get a top FA if you want to, and the roster is filled out with the rotation guys as it, no need to add extra ones, might as well keep Yi.

Dumping a Yi or Humphries would allow you to add a guy well above MLE in addition to that MAX free agent (or 2 2nd tier guys like say Lee and Gay).

Even if a big free agent splurge isn't in the cards, it's still an extra $3-4 million that can be used towards taking advantage of a team in cap jail (see OKC getting Eric Maynor this year). Also, in relation to the proposed Indy trade, you'd have Murphy and pick #10 would likely be on another big making Yi or Humphries completely unnecessary at their cost.

Like who? There are already 10 guys + 2 rookies on the roster. Makes for a good 9 man rotation, we dont need to add anyone significant anymore.

And what do you mean at their price? Yi and Humph dont make much. Both are/should be bench guys. This deal puts them exactly where they should be.

Don't need to add anyone significant? We did lose 70 games last year.

Let's be honest with ourselves, of the final 5 teams, how many of them would guys like Lee or Twill (let alone Yi) actually start for? Heck expand it to the final 8 teams.

Considering the depth we have, having space above the MLE is key since that gets you more of an impact guy. Having the MLE or less isn't a big deal since you're probably not getting a guy you want as a starter (the top 2nd tier vets are going elsewhere for the MLE). Having $7-8 mil changes the game.

Ehh, i'm talking about the team after the proposed trade obviously.

This team:
Wall/
Lee/Twitt/CDR
Patterson/Rush
Murphy/Humph
Brook/Yi

This team did not loose 70 games. Infact it only has 2 starters and 6 players from that team. Twitt and Yi are not starting for this team, and last time i checked Lee started for a team that made the finals in his rookie season. So yeah, he would actually start for the final 5 or 8 teams.

Draft Wall
Trade Harris to Lakers for Artest
Sign Lebron and Bosh
Draft Bledsoe and Alabi

Wall, Bledsoe
Williams, Lee
James, Artest
Bosh, Yi
Lopez, Alabi

You can fill out the 3rd stringers with bums as you go 2 solid at each position already.

All are very possible and equal one sick team. This is a team you can keep together for at least 7-8 years apart from Artest. Take a year or two to build chemistry just in time to move into the new arena for about 5 championships.

My idea for rebuilding: If we get John Wall

Trade harris and yi to houston for battier and trevor ariza.

keep dooling.

sign lebron and david lee

new line-up

wall/dooling/williams - pg
lee/william/cdr - sg
lebron/battier - sf
lee/ humphries
lopez/boone

late picks take a center and a PF.

takes care of our sf problems real quick. David Lee would be perfect next to lebron and lopez with wall running the show this is a championship team in a year.

[B-easy]

Lebron and Dwyane are staying put, nobody should include them in trade ideas.

[Sharcm1]

Lebron is not staying there if the cavs lose to the celtics tonight. Its just that simple. They have the best team they could have with him without doing a complete rebuild and they can't even get back to the eastern finals.

He will leave. He wants to win and he wants money. We can give him both. Our record last year means nothing. It actually means he can come in and turn us around and get us to the finals like kidd did. We are only one or two good players away. If we get wall we can get james and if we get james we can get a david lee or a amare or a player like that to fill in the blanks.

a starting five of wall, williams, james, david lee and brook lopez is a championship team. with dooling, lee, cdr, humphries, and boone off the bench. I'll take it without trades. add the trade I proposed with harris and yi leaving for battier and ariza then we have a stronger bench. The front court alone could win it for us. If wall is anything like he is hyped to be and williams plays a little better than this season we could win it all and give him the major market team.
