This offseason

[kastuul]

LeVert has the size, footwork and IQ to defend both 2 and 3. I have zero concerns about him and I think the Lin/Russell/LeVert trio will be pretty dynamic.

Russell has got to buy in defensively though. That i am concerned about.

Levert needs to put on weight before he is able to be effective against 3's. All the hybrid forwards in the league makes that especially important. Hence, why marks said the 3 spot is the biggest need for this team in the offseason

Levert can be SF in small lineup, but it's hard to handle the opponent's big lineup.

RHJ is not a shooter. Same as T.Booker. They are unlikely to develop 3s like Lopez did.
I say they should all in and offer Porter a MAX contract.
In FA market, he is the only SF/PF the Nets can build around in long term.
OR sign a SF/PF free agent like Ersan Ilyasova or Patrick Patterson for short term and wait for next summer.

I agree with you on all accounts. A combination of Russell, levert, porter, and allen would be a bright future as are will be 24 or younger by the start of the season and compliment each other very well. As far this season, porter and patterson would be a great way to round out the lineup as they are versatile, good defenders, and good three point shooters.

Although I would love porter, I would be shocked of the wizards didn't match. After they match, my next move would be to approach the spurs and tell them if they reach a deal with Chris Paul, we'll take green off your hands for one or both of Harris and the rights to vaulet in a salary dump. If that doesn't come to fruition, my last option would be to get a small forward like singles on a 1+1 or 2+1 contract.

[624]

Lin/Dinwiddie/Goodwin
Russell/Whitehead/Kilpatrick
LeVert/Harris/KJ
RHJ/Booker/Acy
Mozgov/Allen/Hamilton

Nicholson too I guess, but that's more than 15, didn't check the contracts but whatever, something like that

I really like our team so far heading into FA. Young, dynamic, and should be super fun to watch. Hoping we move on from Kilpatrick and Hamilton and try and trade Booker, and then pick up a couple FAs.


Hopefull Allen can be starting over Mozgov by midseason, like Lopez did his rookie year.

Get rid of JHam and Kil and either Harris or KJ. Go after a wing defender like Porter which I doubt we get. But I would love to get James Johnson here, he can guard wings and bigs. PJ Tucker, CJ Miles, Thabo, Tony Allen are veteran guys that can play good defense on wings, anyone of those guys would work for me.

Trade Booker for a pick next year which we need. illyasova and Patrick Patterson are good 4s that can shoot the 3 and won't break the bank. I think JaMychal Green would be a very good starting 4 for us but IDK how much he would get, might be too much. Still want Dedmon here because Mozgov might be a non factor. Any of these guys would do for me, I just don't see us breaking bank on higher level players or any of those players wanting to come here.

[imanshar]

My wishlist for the rest of offseason:

-Get rid of Nicholson, Hamilton, Harris and Kilpatrick
-Sign Alan Williams
-Try to sign atleast 2 of these players(1 sf, 1 pf):
SFs: Porter, KCP, Simmons
PFs: Patterson, Jamychal Green, Olynyk

i wouldnt call porter a wing defender... i mean he is solid on D but he certaily has some issues on that end too. KCP is much better if we want wing D

My wishlist for the remainder of the offseason:
-Nothing

Seriously, unless we can get some decent assets for Hamilton/Kilpatrick/Nicholson there's no reason to try and make any more movements. Just sign someone like Robinson or Motley to the SL team(we're allowed 3 right? And I'm assuming two spots are going to be taken by Alexander and Ibeh) and let them duke it out for the third 2 way contract.

[Ror1997]

How can you advocate for a wing defender while saying we shouldn't bring back KJ?

[Born_Ready]

If the Nets are really after a wing defender why not consider seeing if the Thunder would match any offer thrown at Andre Roberson? Especially now that they just drafted Ferguson.

I realize he would probably push for a starting role which may be overcrowded, but he would be a cheaper option than Pope and Porter, and could hold his own defensively on whoever is in front of him. Of course his offensive game is a liability but with Russell, Levert, and Allen in the post should produce adequate scoring.

Just throwing his name out there because he never gets mentioned as a RFA to take a chance on. Unfortunately, I think Pope would be the most realistic option for Brooklyn because the Wizards will match Porter's contract, but I would personally take Roberson over Pope IF the Wizards did indeed match any offer for Porter. I'm just not that high on KCP.

[MrDollarBills]

Roberson is not worth overpaying for.

[Keith Van Horn]

Now that we have our center replacements for Lopez for the foreseeable future, it's time to see what's next for Marks. I'm assuming he'll throw a couple offer sheets out there to some wing players. When does FA start... July 1 and players can sign on the 8th, something like that right?

First undrafted signing?

I don't see the Pope fit because of G depth now. Unless we're convince that Russell can become a full-time PG, I'd rather see us go for the bigger Porter who can play either forward position. I can see Porter getting 50+% of his minutes at PF.

Alan Williams is a guy I would absolutely advocate for as well. He played very well last season and is only 24. Thing is he is a restricted free agent so unless the Nets overpay him, I think the Suns would definitely match.

[Claud]

I want us to go after Otto Porter.At least make the Wiz sweat a little bit.


Russell/Levert/Otto/RHJ/JA

[Keith Van Horn]

can Porter play the PF? I was thinking Nets should offer him big money, but I thought the DLo deal changed things. If he can play the 2-4 positions, then sign me up.

I've watched a lot of Kamari Murphy and he's a pretty frustrating player. Has really good length/athleticism, can play above the rim and is willing to do the dirty work, but is also really inconsistent. He's got a decent stroke but it's also wildly inconsistent and because of that more often than not he's shooting too much. He's one of those guys who flashes different skills that lead you to believe he should be a much better player than he is. He needs to embrace a style, most likely that of a dirty work defender, and really work at it.

[shakendfries]

How would everyone feel if the Nets added the salary dump of Crabbe to this young roster?

Lin/Dinwiddie/Whitehead
LeVert/Russell/Goodwin
Crabbe/McDaniels
RHJ/Booker
Mozgov/Allen
(obviously the depth chart is tbd for now)
