It wasn't for "almost nothing." Utah only sent away one player and got in return an awesome PG, a rookie prospect, NJ's lottery pick, a Golden State 1st rounder which is bound to be a lottery pick, and $3 million in cash. That's definitely not "almost nothing" and consider that just because DWill has been traded now doesn't mean he's a Nets lifer now. No, NJ will be going through the same thing next year as Denver this season unless Deron signs an extension after the new CBA this summer. It's a risky move for the Nets, as they're pretty much only renting DWill for a year in hopes that he'll want to stay with them.

pretty sure nothing is going to happen....the only real thing i'm angry about is that fact that we have/had TPE's and again we let expire......i guess it wasn't even worth it to utilize them....oh well i guess

Using a TPE when you already are paying 90mil in salaries per year + luxury tax is complicated. I think DeVos would just allow it if it was for a superstar, not a backup center, for example.

I'm going to throw this out there - Andre Kirilenko. Long, active, good defender, and Utah is now overloaded in the frontcourt with Okur, Jefferson, Favours, Millsap, Kirilenko, Fesenko and Haywood.

J-Rich for Kirilenko straight up. Both are expiring deals, but it saves Utah $3m in the short term and gives them a better balance to their roster. We get an active body who can defend the four and the three.
