You do realize it's not just Nets fans posting in this thread, right?

But that's his downside.
No thats his backside.
Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

Prokorov wrote:Man.... one of the things that is so frustrating is that kidd was really so spot on with his direction:--One of the final straws for Nets ownership came around the trade deadline. Kidd advocated for a trade with the Bucks that would sent Brook Lopez and Mirza Teletovic to Milwaukee for the deeply troubled Larry Sanders and Ersan Ilyasova. The suggestion, mostly about Kidd's belief that Lopez couldn't fit in his system, was considered and rejected by the Nets brass.
--Kidd was angered by the Nets decision to trade for Marcus Thornton rather than Jarrett Jack, who he believed would have been a better fit. Nets ownership believe that Kidd's ultimate ambition was to dump Billy King, with whom ownership remains quite satisfied. Kidd believes that King and Nets ownership do not have a long term plan and are too opportunistic.
Lopez needing to go, Wanting to bring in more defense at Center, King being a bad GM.... but what scares me most is:
"kidd belies nets ownership do not have a long term plan" which might singal that the team doesnt really have a good grasp on what needs to be done to get a star in 2016

I hope this is true. We may end looking like bandits.

Sanders helps in 2016. Alot. his 11 million doesnt hurt, we would still have 25-30 million to spend in free agency and it sures up the center position with a top notch defender. Also would help convince some guys to come here
Also, He would be a 27 year old defensive minded center on an expiring deal. thats super valuable if we need to aquire a star in a sign and trade to get them here and need something to send back the other way. Dwill doesnt work in that regard but sanders would be more attractive.
Dwill is the issue in 2016, Sanders would only help.
You're putting a lot of weight into his one good season where he earned that contract extension. He was a mess last year, no one wants him now. If he continues to have off the court problems he will negative value and won't be easy to unload. Its not worth the risk.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about Sanders. He didn't earn his money because he averaged a double-double. He earned his money because, when he's on the floor, he's one of the top 5 most impactful defenders in the NBA. And that might even be understating it. The difference defensively when he's on/off the floor is off the charts.
