How would you fill out the roster?

[sashaturiaf]

Relax guys, we still got Roberson

But really Marks definitely has something up his sleeve with so many tools at his disposal just gotta be patient. At worst you can get RHJ back as a defensive guy.

[Hello Brooklyn]

With TJ Tucker and Arizona gone there is no defensive wing on the market that I want.

I still think Reddick is the best option. But I don't feel like we need anyone else tbh. Our team is perfect as s.

I still want McGee or Dedmon. if DJ got hurt or was in foul trouble in the playoffs we would be relying on big center minutes from:

- a virtual rooke in claxton
- a 6'8" forward in green
- a Broken down non-shot blocker in Griffin

It could low-key cause us some issues.

Dedmon hasn't play in over a year. There is 0 chance he helps us at all.

I wouldn't mind having McGee at the end of the roster.

I still way rather play Griffin though.

Griffin doesnt help if we need shot blocking or defense. He is simply a non factor defensively to put it as nice as possible. Dieng is another possibility if bought out. We need something besides a guy who has played 20 games to be insurance for DJ as a shotblocker.

Smallball should be fine, but in some matchups it may not and if DJ is out then you throw your title away because you didnt have the foresight to have a veteran shot blocker as insurance

[Claud]

I'd take McGee over Drummond. McGee can replace DJ's minutes going forward.

I wouldn't mind keeping Dinwiddie for another season but I have a feeling he gets traded somewhere.

[Papi_swav]

I agree with prok, we need a 3rd string center just in case. We can always DNP him some games and then play him 15 mins when we wanna rest DJ. Dieng would be perfect if bought out. But we also still need that wing defender. I really wanted Ariza but now i dont even know who's still available. If worst comes to worst we should grab RHJ.

Idk why you guys want RHJ.

Hes useless. He can't even get on a roster.

We don't need "defensive" players who are offensive liabilities. No thanks.

Third string center I agree. McGee or Dieng would be fine.

But would they want to sign here with little chance of playing? I'm not really sure.

Energy player, can get out and run, competes night in and night out. Can't speak for others but I want to see players who are hungry and don't quit fill out the roster...

But hes literally not good. I don't want to see him on the floor.

JJ Reddick for example I know will create a ton of space for the Big 3 everytime hes out there.

Am I really convinced RHJ can shut down anyone? No.

I do know he can't do much offensively.

[Whiskey Slick]

I made a proposal in another thread ...

Dinwiddie and Reggie Perry for Caris LeVert.

Would Marks make that trade?

Would Indiana?

I think LeVert is the perfect wing depth to complete the puzzle, and I know he'd be thrilled to comeback.

RHJ is not good is completely false. We all know he's solid defensively and can guard most positions. Yea he can't shoot but he does all the little things necessary, he's pretty much a taller Bruce Brown but with more experience. Just ask Raps fans how they feel about him. He's not a Roberson out there, he can actually cut and make layups, he also has a nice little mid range jumper.

JJ Reddick is almost washed, yea he still a good shooter but how much shooting do we need? We already have Shamet and Harris that does what he does, and also our big 3 shoot lights out as well. TJ and TLC can shoot the 3 too. I would rather take a defender over a shooter right now. RHJ would be great while Harden is running the point, RHJ is a great cutter and will have easy layups and fast break points. Again, he's no Roberson.

John Hollinger believes that Rondae is the most valuable free agent on the market right now. He was great in Toronto off the bench last season. He started the last 2 preseason games for Minnesota, they loved him but they just had too many guaranteed contracts on the book.

People like to say that there's a reason he doesn't have an NBA contract, but it's not just up to teams. He may be waiting for the right invitation. Marks should extend it.

I don’t think you can trade back a player to same team within the season unless it’s from a team other than the one he was traded to. There might be time limits too

[Kiddlovesnets]

We need to sign Andre Drummond and complete this trade below, then we have a nice 10-12 man rotation.

Note: The trade has been approved by ESPN trade machine:

[Hello Brooklyn]

He was so good that Toronto wouldn't even bring him back on a minimum. I don't believe the whole NBA is clueless on him.

Marks did his due diligence and chose to sign Shumpert and Roberson over RHJ. He's not an NBA player.

[HardenGoat]

I'am a bit worried Drummond is going to Lakers, I think his rebounding is a missing piece. Harden get's in a flow when we rebound better which was evident last game, it essentially helps him control the game, and it helps win games at the end. I also think he will be way more effective having the big 3 out there, he is young, durable, and can handle the minutes. Put Deandre on backup but use Claxton on smaller lineups.

that would be an awful deal for the nets. Dinwiddie coming back from an ACL is still less an injury risk then levert. a better player and a much better fit. and contract wise, he is unlikely to get mnore then levert

He likely wants more then the minimum and/or to choose his team/location. no need to take the minimum somewhere you dont want to be when contenders will be looking to fill rosters spots after the trade deadline.

what is there to lose? 600K?

He has no reason to go to the Lakers, and the Lakers top priority is a 3-D wing player anyway.

[mycorrizae]

I'm not sure who's out there at this point that the Nets could reasonably get via trade. Find some end of the bench depth in the buyout market maybe, but it's not like there are any glaring holes in the rotation. Primary thing would be someone who can defend the 3/4 and can shoot to play behind KD, but there's not many of those guys after the Ariza deal.

If someone wants to give up something useful for Dinwiddie's bird rights then I'm open to it but I find it hard to see who wants Dinwiddie and is willing to give up someone playable for this season. Maybe Dallas would swap for Powell to give us a different look at the 5? But I don't really want him, he's looked limited after his Achilles injury. Or swap him for George Hill in some kind of 3 way deal? Would be a small upgrade over Tyler Johnson.

I dunno, I would love Jae Crowder but there's a lot of teams that need a Jae Crowder and he's not on the market.

[Kiddlovesnets]

We have to focus on the buyout market, we dont have enough asset to make trades now unless we move Dinwiddie, and its especially hard to make a trade that will fix our problem at the wing.
