Discussions for a trade that would’ve exchanged Eduardo Najera for Kris Humphries and Shawne Williams are “on life support,” a league source said, because the New Jersey Nets have been unable to clear a roster spot to make it happen. New Jersey had hoped the Dallas Mavericks would add some money to the deal to allow them to buy out Williams’ contract, but the Nets haven’t been able to make a roster move. They tried to trade former first-round pick Josh Boone to Denver for Joey Graham and his non-guaranteed deal as a precursor to the Dallas deal, but those talks dried up, too.

Unless Lebron says I WANT TO BE A NET!!!, durant should be our target. I hope the Nets dont waste money on second tier FAs in 2010.

Durant isnt going to be much easier to get...besides us moving to a big market and the sort of draw...it wont be much easier than getting Lebron...KD is sick...would love to see him lined up with Brook and Yi w/ him at SF...

But seriously...would you be that pissed off if we could pull Boozer and Joe Johnson...something like that...

Jac, I would be pissed if they pay these guys max deals when they are second tier FAs. I would prefer drafting young guys or trading for young guys. If we get Wall, all we would really need is a PF/C that can defend and rebound to come off the bench or eventually push Yi to the bench.

Wall
Lee
CDR or Twill
Yi or Rebounding/Defending PF
Lopez

That line up is fine with me. Once you put a very good coach in the mix. I dont mind watching the young guys. I DVR every game now. I would rather save the money to pay guys like Lopez and Wall. Then to waste it on Boozer and J. Johnson.

thank the heavens you are not a gm. youd rather have wall, cdr and yi instead of harris, joe johnson and boozer? joe johnson is a stud. he is by no means a second tier FA. he doesnt have the flashyness of lebron or wade, but he can flat out ball. and boozer is far superior to yi. i like the progress yi has made since returning from his injury, but boozer is down right more physical and confident.

Signing Lebron/Wade/Bosh is a pipe dream, I'd rather be realistic and I'd be ecstatic if we were able to land both boozer and Johnson. You add a top 3 pick, hopefully Wall so we could deal Harris for a SF and we're a top 3 team in the east IMO.

Lopez
Boozer
whoever we get for Harris or CDR
Johnson
Wall

Harris for Rudy gay in a S&T.
Harris for Kevin martin though I doubt Sacto does it.
Harris for Tayshaun Prince.

And I didn't mean trade CDR, I meant he would start at the 3 if we failed to sign/trade for a SF.

He's a great glue guy on the win...but, honestly, I know he doesn't have the wing span like Prince, but I see CDR filling that role very well if he had 2 all-stars players at the 2 and 4 (plus Brooksy and John Wall lol).
