His stock value is at an all-time high, which means we'll be able to get a decent return for whoever we trade him for. If the Nets traded Vince Carter or Jason Kidd, they probably won't be getting an adequate return simply because the team is underperforming, and other teams around the league will demand too much. And here lies my problem: should the Nets simply keep the team they have, maybe add a role player or two and hope that Krstic can return to form? Or do they accept the fact that they'll be receiving less than they're giving and slowly begin the rebuilding process? It's hard to figure that one out. A HEALTHY lineup of:
PG: Kidd
SG: Carter
SF: Jefferson
PF: Sean Williams
C: Nenad Krstic
can easily cause upsets in the playoffs. But they need to discover a level of tenacity that they haven't possessed once yet this year. It's truly mind-boggling.
That team MIGHT cause some upsets, but can it win a title? If not then move on and build towards that goal. Getting young players and draft picks is what needs to be done. You will suck for a couple of years, but sucking for a couple of years netted Portland the deepest roster in the league, and 3 players that have the potential to be perenial all stars in a few years.
I don't mean this as a slap in the face, but you play in the east as well. You could easily be competetive a lot quicker than Portland was.
