David Harrison- a big body if we don't resign Gana Diop. (could come cheap)
Delonte West(pg)- He'd be a great backup (but Rat would have to pay up)
Quinton Ross(sg)- a good defender (would come cheap)
Ronny Turiaf-would add toughness
Maurice Evans
Randolph Morris-big body, there could be something there (cheap price)
Keyon Dooling-defensive pg
Gordon Giricek-outside shooter
Lorenzen Wright
Carlos Delfino-good 2guard
What do you guys think? Which guys should Thorn go after?

everyone on that list is fine except giricek and wright. I would only go after a pg if we trade marcus. I think we should go after Kareem rush also.

Don't especially like any of these guys.
All scrubs.
Rod already said he isn't resigning Diop if anyone makes a competitive offer.......GOOD.
I would take Turiaf but he isn't gonna be cheap enough for Rod, and he's not that special a player anyway.
I take Wright or Harrison as a big body for the minimum, but it's not like they get me excited either.
West, way to expensive.
Giricek, much rather have Boki.
I prefer Fred Jones, James Jones or Jarvis Hayes.

Whoever we sign we better hope his last name doesn't start with M .
Alonzo Mourning, Ron Mercer, Jeff McGinnis, and Jamaal Magloire anyone ?

Even though I hate him with a passion Carlos Delfino is the shooter this team desperately needs.
West could be great for this team if Boki and Diop sign somewhere else.

Harrison is a crackhead would mess up the team's chemistry, shouldnt sign him
runny turiaf=magloire, will end up warming the bench, mags was suppose to come in and give tuffness didnt happen
our roles players are more than capebale, but we need a Jermaine or Elton, a frontcourt of Boone and Kristic isnt gonna get us a title......

i kind of want the nets to get rod benson. I know he was on the summer team last year and didnt make the team, but he is an amazing rebounder and had a nice yr in the d league... plus he has an amazing blog..

Other than Delfino, no one on that list intrigues me. Actually, no player mentioned in this thread is appealing.

Dooling would actually would be a good fit as the BU PG if we are planning moving MWilliams.
I would take Delfino over Boki!!!!!!!!
Harrison can also play good role as a big body!!!!!!!!

Well they looked like they liked each other , they just didn't play well . Add a troublesome scrub ( Harrison it not more ) and it'll be worse.

Keep David Harrison FAR AWAY from Sean Williams.

Marcus Williams will probably be traded he's a headcase definitely not a leader as a point guard should be.
Dooling's a good defender who knows his role as a backup.

What's the word on Harrison?

He's had various drug problems and was suspended for a couple of games this year for violating the league's drug policy... He's also the idiot who threatened to Kill Matt Bonner.
Harrison is basically a hothead who has some serious off the court problem (from a substance and anger standpoint).
He also fouls people at an incredible rate (this year for example he only played 12.8 mpg and averaged 3 fouls per game!*)
*This isn't a one year trend either:

Thanks didn't know he was screwed up something about Indiana...
Scratch him off the list.

I don't know who the Nets would / could offer... But I would love to have Juan Carlos Navarro on this team, he's a restricted free agent so some sort of sign and trade would have to be worked out...
In general though it's kind of hard for me to say who the Nets should go for since I don't know exactly what they're doing right now. Are they going to package assets and look for a big upgrade somewhere on the roster? Are they going to rebuild (and get rid of Vince or RJ)?

But he was on the Real World.
Real World + NBA player cameo = superstar!

Quinton Ross intrigues me...he's a Bruce Bowen-type, good defender for the backup 2/3 spots.
Dooling is a shooter who doesn't shoot consistently, but I'd be okay with him as a back-up for his energy...if we trade Marcus.
No one else on this list is very appealing.
