How?
As far as im concerned, we're getting a young PG, possibly better than most PGs in the East. We're getting expiring contracts and we're getting picks, although the picks may not be a lottery pick but who knows, we may get lucky like others teams over the years such as Arenas or Tony Parker.
With that expiring, we're gonna be able to add some quality player next year and get deeper or along with a trade with either VC or RJ (and the extra money), we might get lucky landing a versatile big man, who knows? Although im kinda iffy with Thorn, i still trust him when it comes to trading players and signing the best player though free agency. I just dont trust his drafting skills.
Plus, the 2010 1st pick might actually become a valuable pick.
If we keep JK, it's going to be an ugly 2nd half for us and im not into salvaging the season and Thorn would agree with me on this one. As much as possible we would like to be on a winning atmosphere even if it's an early exit on the 1st round. I dont want to see the old Nets, who would?
I support Thorn on this one just because we didn't have enough time to look elsewhere and with JK's contract it's going to be hard anyways. This is the best possible deal we can get if we still want our teams name to be talked about (one of a few ways to attract a big name FA).
However, the only negative thing about the deal is Hassel's contract. Boy... that's ugly!
Let's just hope that he can be better than Wright offensively, i know Hassel was once a very good defender esp. when he was with the Timberwolves.
