Also I get the feeling we are in process of bringing back Mason Plumlee, if Porter gets matched as expected. As Allen is nowhere near ready this season probably, I think Plumlee is not a bad option, especially if he can be had for cheaper than his brother. And he is the "better" Plumlee.

I like Tyreke Evans and think he could find a role on the team. Has he been healthy? He doesn't get talked about much anymore. I watched a few Kings games (to watch Buddy Buckets) but I don't recall Evans really standing out to me. He might be an upgrade over Kilpatrick and Harris all around in my opinion. However, I wouldn't expect him to light it up either. In fact, Sean Kilpatrick is probably a better scorer. At any rate, I would cosign Tyreke Evans to Brooklyn.
OKC Thunder fan, too.

We loss Hardaway Jr. Thank God!

Only danger we must avoid at any cost have a name and (two) surname: KCP.

Plumlee? Why we should overpay a role player, which we have already seen, in a role where we have Mozgov (with his contract) and a first round pick?

I'm ok with Jamychal Green or Nikola Mirotic with a Kelly Olynyk's like deal.

Otherwise, we have flexibility and maybe we add a 1-year veterans, like Ilyasova. Tony Allen would be a great veteran but is "shooting" is not good for us at all.

Ginobili a 1-year, expensive deal would be a unbelievable dream!

I would love Green - I think he would be a huge upgrade to our PF position, and would allow us to trade Booker to a contender for picks/young players

KCP should be more than available after the Bradley/Morris trade.

I wish, Mason has really evolved as a player, athletic big with nice passing skills.

Allen will be in g-league for most part prolly and Mozgov will be a back-up. And didnt you catch a recent J-Lin tweet? Something along the lines: Plums are the most underrated of fruits, lol.

Another player at center wouldn't hurt. Mozgov and the rookie might be enough (with Acy available as well) but they may want to bring Allen along slow, you know not force him to play minutes for Brooklyn. It all depends on what direction the front office wants to go.

I never made an argument for Mitotic. You're the one who randomly brought Mitotic into the conversation.

Comparing a raw player, who was the 57 the pick to a player about to hit his prime, and posted an abover average PER so far in his nba career is asinine.

I don't know what you're even ranting about. You're arguing against Niko when the point that I'm trying to make is that the nets aren't bringing over their draft and stash after 3 weeks.

Vezenkov isn't even on our SL roster.........

And you think he's an option to join the nba team?

Na, Mirotic was the starting point of the conversation. I was saying, it makes a lot of sense to get a stretch big and he's perhap the best/youngest/most available. However, there's a lot of questions in terms of fit and roster. That brought up the question of, if we're gonna sign him, wouldn't getting Vezenkov to come over be a better option if Marks thinks he can defend OK in this league?

Mirotic would surely be the better player, but he will also be much more expensive and might be under-utilized.

The "stash" label and the fact that he isn't on the SL roster doesn't mean much if the situation calls for it. I'm not an expert on him and I suppose you aren't as well. This would be a decision Marks makes.


You're trying to jam puzzle pieces into places they don't fit. Vezenkov isn't an option because he's a raw talent they want to develop. They don't see any immediate value with him. Nor did they want immediate value from the 57th pick. There were plenty of more nba ready talent available with the 57th pick the nets could've drafted. Guys like Wiley or Senglin. They took Vezenkov for a reason and it was because they wanted to have a draft and stash product.

Even tho that might be what they had in mind when drafting him, I hope, if the situation calls for it and the circumstances are right, they would leave that option open.
Vezenkov not being on the SL roster is telling. It proves the nets don't have any plans to bring him over. It directly applys to the situation. Its not a decision for Marks to make. Its one he already made before he made the draft selection.

Why are we having this conversation....He was the 3rd to last pick

They might not have plans to bring him over but it doesn't necessarily mean they won't after free agency. Nothing is set in stone.

His draft position doesn't mean much, IT4 was drafted with the last pick.

Yeah and IT is 5'9. If he was 3 inches taller he's gone in the lotto.

Vezenkov is not coming over. He's not. Its so simple, and so obvious that nobody else is even bothering to entertain the idea. Its not happening. 0% chance. If they wanted to fill a roster spot with the #57 pick they wouldn't have taken Vezenkov. He's not coming over.

They're both suit and tie DNP guys I forgot about them lol. Hamilton is cheap and Nicholson was a contract they chose to take on for a draft pick.
