Nets - In Season Moves & Possible Trade Ideas

[Papi_swav]

Trade deadline coming up, I so can't wait , I thought it was going to be a quiet deadline but with Blake moving I can see a domino effect. As for Greg Monroe, na I'll pass, we need to use our young guys more. I wouldn't mind getting rid of Acy but we won't get much for him. I have no idea what to expect.

[MrDollarBills]

We can waive Zeller, take Acy out of the rotation, and there are minutes for Monroe without taking away Allen or Okafor's minutes.

what is your reasoning for bringing him in here? we are not a playoff team. we have a 19 year old and a 21 year old center rotation that is showing promise. why do you want to do this?

To be a more competitive team, and bring in another veteran who our young players can benefit from? Maybe even have Monroe improve as a player with our coaching staff. I already said that Monroe can be played as a PF, and iirc, that's how he was used in Milwaukee off the bench. He doesn't have to necessarily interfere with Allen or OKafor's playing time. Guys like Acy and Zeller are getting playing time for us, and Monroe is easily better than both of them by far. He can take their minutes. What's wrong with being more competitive when you don't have your own pick? It's not like the move is going to take our future cap space.

if you think that he'd help at 4, I'll respect that opinion. i don't see it though personally he's a plodder to me.

I think Greg Monroe is more so a name than anything of value to this team, but I won't deny that the team can use some more veteran input. Carroll is carrying a heavy load right now as being the only "big bro" that gets actual minutes.

Monroe can play PF at Nba2k, maybe.

[SpeedyG]

Dont really have an interest in Monroe. I think if were looking to add another player, it will need to be some younger guy, preferably a 3/4 who can develop similar to Webb. Another 4/5 would be nice too, but those don't grow on trees and if you have them, you usually don't trade them.

If we make a move it will likely be a direction towards getting additional assets such as draft picks either by profiting off development of our projects or taking another salary dump

That's all I care about since the Nets are struggle city in 2K. Crabbe can't hit 3s. Dinwiddie and Harris have super slow jump shots. They haven't updated Jarrett Allen.

But seriously, no interest in Monroe. He would help us but we need to roll with Allen and Okafor at center. Our priorities should be a stretch 4 or getting picks / a young guy.

So did Levert and RHJ get injuries in game, or were they announced in between games on the road trip? I feel like I missed something with these injuries.

You guys don't think they're being held out b/c of trade talks do you? Just having some random conspiracy thoughts today. They're probably legit injuries, but it seemed a little suspicious to me since they both looked like they had been playing well.

[JiggaMan06]

I had the same thoughtbut maybe they tweaked it during a game and just played through it with the adrenaline idk lol. I only want to move RHJ if it's for a lottery draft pick. I'm very high on Juancho Hernangomez since last year. I'm anxious to see what Marks does in the next week.

I've long thought there are deals that make sense between Denver and Brooklyn. Would be on board for a swap involving RHJ and Juancho, Faried+sweetener/Carroll swap (depending on sweetener), etc.

The vibe I get is that y'all don't view Dinwiddie as particularly on the table - is that right? How do you guys assess his situation? Not on the table and viewed as a long-term piece, on the table for the right price only, being shopped at a fairly high point of his value, etc?

Thanks guys - cheers!

Dinwiddie, Russell, LeVert, RHJ, & Allen are likely off the table for the assets Denver has to offer.

No to Faried, Juancho, or even Will

[LKIRNets]

Mirotic was just dealed for a candlestick to the Pelicans.

[MGrand15]

A mid-1st rounder from a team that could implode is an amazing return for a guy who got punched in the face to start the year and demanded a trade. He's been lights out this year too.

bruh they took back Asik and the Bulls could have got more.

Not even Nuggets related - I'm interested in how available you think he is, and what you'd guess they'd need to get back to move him?

RHJ hurt himself in game, LeVert's groin injury was a surprise to everyone. he seemed fine.

If they were just randomly being held out I'd be curious, but I remember exactly when RHJ pulled up lame in his last game played so the injury is legit.

Views are varied on here, I view Dinwiddie as a long term piece since Russell is a SG that needs to play alongside a PG with good size and can run the offense. That's Spencer Dinwiddie.

I'm open to trading Carroll but I'm not sure your squad has anything we'd really want outside of a 1st rd pick.

[MrDollarBills]

pelicans could possibly fall out of playoff contention without Cousins. Bulls might have just screwed them in a desperation deal.

Dinwiddie has definitely become a fan favorite in Brooklyn, but I don't think our GM views anyone as completely untouchable. The closest guy on our roster to having that tag would be Russell, then probably Levert and Allen. My guess is he'd like to see his picks/trades play over another season, but he's a smart dude who is building for the future and not necessarily right now. I wouldn't rule out him trading RHJ, Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, Ty Zeller, or anyone else who's outplayed their contract this year.

But... A lot of us are hoping Dinwiddie + Russell is the backcourt for the next many years to come. Lin is a goner after next year, and maybe even a solid trade candidate for next season. A lot of fans would want to see a pick in the mid teens or better for Dinwiddie. He's getting better every game, gaining confidence, nailing game winners, and when he's a + player, the team wins something like 75% of the time. They showed last night a small glimpse into what can be and I think that's got to be reassuring to our staff.

alright, I knew I missed a game somewhere last week b/c I was working a Saturday evening.... was it the TWolves game?

It's not an ideal fit but it's better than what we have (Acy and Zeller).

[IceManBK1]

Would have been nice to get a stretch 4 like mirotic. Nikola Vucejic is another stretch 4/5 option we can look at. He can coexist with Allen cuz he can play the 4 and known down 3s. It would be nice to have a twin tower that complements each other.
