That package could get us Beal + big

I have no issue with trading assets for Beal. I just don't want to lose Spencer Dinwiddie.

Our bench would collapse without Dinwiddie so I agree. Maybe we could do Levert + Allen for Beal?

It would have to be LeVert, Prince, Allen, and probably two lottery protected 1sts for Beal.

Ok thx. I thought he might be another @APooch, I don't really follow them all or be visiting ND for some years now.

Don't threaten me with a good time. I'm not as high on Brad as I was last offseason, but I do think that his skill set would fit in better than those guys next to KD & KI. If we can keep Spencer, you have to do it.
Some people really have a way with words. Other people... not... have... way.

Re: Nets Going Forward: Planning for Next Season
I don't think Jrue is a true star player, he's significantly better than Levert, but he isn't exactly a very good offensive player. If you check his scoring efficiency over the years, its subpar, especially this year (52% TS%). I think he can be efficient playing next to proper star players, but not on his own. When I say 3rd star, I mean more like a Bradley Beal type trade, which would require us to gut the team's assets.MrDollarBills wrote:DarkXaero wrote:I don't know about that, I think Marks is aware of the roster imbalance, and could look to make moves to address bigger needs.

LeVert, Allen, Dinwiddie, Prince aren't getting moved unless it's a 3rd all star player that makes sense for us in return.
Dinwiddie especially isn't getting moved because we don't know how many games Kyrie can play without getting hurt.
I don't feasibly see much movement. Harris will be resigned, we'll add a veteran with the exception. Some end of bench guys might not be back next season as we're looking to add veteran players for a championship roster.
But Jrue Holiday would be kind of a 3rd star, at 19/5/7 he'd be a significant upgrade over Caris LeVert.

When Durant is back i dont really see an imbalance.
Ball handlers: Kyrie, Dinwiddie, Levert, Musa. Pinson
Wings: KD, Harris, Prince Temple, Chandler, TLC, Kurucs
Bigs: Allen, Jordan
throw claxton at wing or big. but thats pretty balance with qualtiy and depth at all 3 spots. I think we could use a 4th ball handler with Kyrie/Levert being so injury prone. maybe a 3rd string big if claxton looks more like a wing.
I'd trade some combo of the philly pick, kurucs, musa for a lefit 4th ball handler if i could. or use the MLE on one

Id prefer to trade the pick for a future pick. we will want those assets for an inseason move

I was really looking for Musa to break out but he just ain't ready. He needs few more years to develop imo. He's Bojan type of player in making from what I've seen this far. Definitely will break out at some point.
Nic got a lot of upside. I can see him taking over Allen next year.
Rodi... I don't know what Kenny and FO doing. He definitely has role on our team right now and going forward. I think it's his off court thing that keeps him on the bench. I can see him replacing Chandler next year.
Claxon is light years behind allen.
-he is a worse screener (allen is an greatone) in an offense that lives on high screen and roll and off ball screens for shooters
-he is significantly worse as a roll man (allen ranks among the leagues best as a roll man)
-he is significantly worse shotblocker and worse overall defensively
-he is smaller and weaker
there isa 0.0% chance he overtakes allen. and in genrally he is a year or two away from seeing real time as a big. maybe sooner as a wing if he cant improve his 3

Holiday would certainly be a 3rd star. he is better than beal and one of if not the league premier Guard defender. id love to have him on this team.

Same, he and Kyrie would blend well in the backcourt and he's a better defender than LeVert.

You know what kills all this stuff you said... Allen soft and scary one. You just cant measure a heart.

More like Allen, LeVert, Prince, Claxton, Musa, 2022 1st, 2024 1st unprotected or 1-3 + multiple 2nds.

Thought this was interesting, how well this FO has planned out stuff. Even now, you can see with all our contracts, they've thought about what's ahead, after 3-4 years.

Prince and LeVert's contracts are also very tradeable.

Like I've said, Marks isn't a dummy, he can assess the weaknesses of the roster, and he isn't afraid to make a bold move or two. So for anyone who thought that Marks won't touch the roster this summer, well, here's direct proof that there is good possibility.

Exactly and say it again. That month of late Dec entire Jan changed my view 180. I would not tolerate mediocrity whether some like it or not. Last time we really had a chance to build something special, Ratner did us dirty. We had a chance to team up J.Kidd, VC and KG

Wow let's slow down here buddy. I'll be pissed if we give up that much. Brad is good but not that good.

Re: Nets Going Forward: Planning for Next Season
I would easily take Beal or Holiday on this team. Not sure what we have to give up, but I'm thinking it'd be 3 key players + some picks.
Either one of those guys would fit in really well IMO. Maybe if Beal's asking price is too absurd, Marks leans Jrue. Who knows. I just want us to 100% resign Joe and 100% retain Spencer.
