DWill for Amare + Lin
As a Knick fan I wanted to see if this trade makes any sense from a Nets perspective:
Amare for Deron Williams (Sign and Trade) and the Knicks will not match Nets' offer sheet to Jeremy Lin. Of course this is all contingent on Jeremy Lin wanting to go to Brooklyn.
It would essentially be an Amare + Lin for DWill swap although Lin will technically not be traded.
Knicks do this in a heart beat for all the obvious reasons. Plus they save their MLE and can use it to find a new starting power forward.
Nets have to do this because they can't lose DWill for nothing and I doubt he's going to re-sign with the current roster of the Nets unless they can pull off a D12 trade. Amare is a huge risk but the Nets are one of the few teams that are in a position where they have to take that risk (new arena, need to be relevant, need star power) and can also afford to take the risk. Plus they get JLin who will be even more important in terms of making the Nets relevant. Starting lineup of Lin, Brooks, Wallace, Amare, Lopez with Humphries, Morrow, Green, Farmar ...won't play alot of defense but that's a play-off team.
It makes sense for both teams in my opinion. Don't know if DWill or Lin would want to swap teams but would be something in NY if that happened.

Re: DWill for Amare + Lin
No thanks. We'd be stupid to include Lin as a throw in. Dwill is a diva that cant carry a team. That Linsanity strech >>>>>>>>>>everything Dwill did with the Nets

Re: DWill for Amare + Lin
So let me get this straight....
OP suggests that D-Will, a top 3 to 5 PG in the league, is S&T'd to the Knicks meaning that he's got a brand new contract with you guys rather than us.....
and we're trading him to you for broken down Amare and his 3yr/$60mil cap killing deal + Lin, under a normal coaching system, is an above average PG.
Then another Knick fan chimes in and says 'no' that's overpaying, because Lin's Linsanity stretch, (which let me remind you that HE'S NOT LONGER ON THE HOT STREAK) is better than anything D-Will has ever done with the Nets....

Anyone read the thread on this on the Knix board, it's endless lulz.

Re: DWill for Amare + Lin
Bahahaha.
Clueless Knicks fans keep proposing this deal and I find it hilarious.
First of all, from a basketball standpoint the Nets (or any other team) would never, ever do this deal. No one wants Amare.
Second, we would especially never make this abysmal trade with the Knicks of all teams.

Re: DWill for Amare + Lin
It's actually hilarious on the Knicks board some Knicks fans say they wouldn't make the deal because Lin is included
and they wonder why they are top 3 dumbest fanbase.
To answer the OP I would not make this trade for the obvious reasons that both Amare and Jeremy"Run around in circles until the clock runs out to turn the ball over"Lin are not good basketball players to give up D-Will

Re: DWill for Amare + Lin
Lin is not that good. He's EXTREMELY ball dominant and likely to be EVEN MORE inefficient next year.
Teams literally scrapped practicing all together this year, when players and coaches have a little bit of time to watch film on Lin it's OFFICIALLY over for the guy...
Also Amar'e sucks and is only going to get worse these next few years...
