How would you fill out the roster?

[Prokorov]

Brown shouldn’t be on this team. But I agree again the small 12 should be defensive oriented. The nWo, rim protector, small ball 4. Harris wouldn’t start if we had a full roster but absolutely would finish. He’s our 6th man.

Brown has to be on this team. and we need more like him.

Need more defenders but not more small defenders who can’t shoot. We would’ve gotten RHJ and MKG if that was all that’s needed. No team is surviving only 4 shooters especially when even one has to sit.

Shooting doesnt matter around the big 3. none of them needs spacing to score at a 60 TS% clip and they provide spacing for each other by all being good to great range shooters with enormous gravity. Ypu dont need 5 shooters on the floor to be a top offense. and with the big three you certainly dont need 4.

And yea, we do need more small defenders. maybe shumpert fills that role. we need 4 reliable defenders outside the big 3. 2-3 G/wing types and 1-2 F/C types

PG - Irving - Brown - Chiozza
SG - Harden - Shamet - Johnson
SF - Harris - TLC - Shumpert
PF - Durant - Green - Perry
C Jordan - Vonleh - Claxton/Pelle


Cut Johnson, he has regressed anyway and Nets could use a hungrier player who hasn't been paid yet. Ever since Riley threw that contract at Johnson, he's regressed since Phoenix.

Let go of Pelle/Vonleh. Believe me, I dont have any ounce of faith in neither of these guys. I've seen enough of Vonleh as a Knick fan and I promise you he will torture you. He has a jumper but it isn't really a threat. He does nothing great.

I believe this is the best time for the Nets to sell high on Joe Harris on March 3rd for some depth, defense and rebounding.
He is an elite shooter spot up shooter, but provides no presence on the boards or defense which the Nets need. I wouldn't sell him for any big man scrub neither. Nets dont have too btw. I do believe keeping Harris has benefits for the Nets, just want to see the dude give effort on defense since Harden/Irving are carrying the load.


1. Sign Dewayne Dedmon. He's a big who can rebound decently, defend not lockdown defense but his defense better than Jordan and Dedmon is a 33% 3pt shooter.

Harden is most effective when he's playing with guys who can stretch the floor and clear the lane for him.

2. Sign Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. He's only 26 and he's not going to give up on getting a rotation spot on the NBA. Nets are a perfect team because Rondae wants his NBA career to continue and Nets need a defensive hustle guy to compliment their stars. The organization are familiar with Rondae. It would be weird if Nets ignore this move.

3. Sign John Henson (Age 30) 6"11 PF/C traditional big who can rebound, play defense.

Christian Vital. 4 year UCONN guard from Hollis, NY. He hits the offensive boards, gets steals, career 36% 3pt shooter at UCONN. He's currently rostered on the Memphis Hustle. He's 6"2 190lbs I believe he has a chance to make a team in the NBA.

his teammate Freddie Gillespie is a combo forward who defends and rebounds also.

Omer Yurtseven 7"0 260 big who can block shots rebound and shoot 3s...right now with OKC Blue, I would just keep an eye on him he currently a UFA at 22 years old.

Honorable mention Yoeli Childs (23 year old 6"8 225 SF/PF) I think he's underrated and just haven't had a chance.

Johnathan Motley would give the Nets scoring off the bench, which they need...just options.

[MrDollarBills]

I'm not sure why we are wasting time with Shump when Rondae is sitting at home. We need defenders and rebounders.

Marks is on my **** list right now. He is failing us.

Hamstring injury for guys sitting out their unemployed is par for the course. if we signed RHJ good chance he may have had something similar. there is no substitute for game reps.

Shump and RHJ are similar high effort versatile defenders. Shump was here last year with this staff and gave us great minutes. not an offensive threat but jumper less broken then RHJ or MKG's and Marks probably wants these guys to play and knows Nash isnt playing an ugly jumpshot much.

Marks signed: Shump (proven defender) Vonleh (tough athletic forward, rebounder) and Pelle (shot blocker).

Maybe you would have preffered MKG, RHJ, and Dedmon. those are the household names. i like those guys. but its not like he ignored it all together and signed 3 shooters. We dont know the situation with RHJ or Dedmon either. maybe their is a good reason they have no job. maybe they are holding out for a multi year deal or a bigger role. maybe they have health issues or personal issues we dont know about. maybe the staff is low on thosse guys.

These things take time too, especially with COVID. need to reach an agreement with terms, physical, COVID tests, etc... It has only been 3 weeks since the harden trade. Since then we signed 3 defensive/toughness minded players and been linked to trade talks for mcgee.

I think its too soon and unfair to kill marks for having not brought in really solid pieces that can step in play day 1 and make an impact. I think if we get to buyouts and the deadline and still nothing we can criticize. but his options are much more limited then Nash.

[Openheimer]

Justice Winslow should be another target. Memphis might be open to trading him

[zimpy27]

Gorgui Dieng would be ideal. Memphis could be a decent trade partner.

Jordan and Shamet for Dieng.

Who says no? Probably Durant since he loves these guys.

Memphis have no real use for Dieng once JJJ is back. They have a big rotation of Val/JJJ/Clarke/Tillman when fully healthy. Dieng could go back to DNP status and may even be a buyout candidate, who knows.

He could be a buyout candidate, that would be excellent for.the Nets if it happened. Though Memphis seem pretty committed to keeping guys for trade.

I'm sure they'll try to trade him first for an asset, and that's the right thing to do. But his salary isn't that low, and aside from maybe Celtics, I'm not sure what contenders will be looking for a center. Raps definitely need a center but their entire future is uncertain right now.

[Prokorov]

We would never land dieng. he would get claimed by Boston, who may be even more desperate than us for help at C

I don't see it. If they had wanted to go into the Luxury Tax, they would have accepted Myles Turner back in the S&T for Hayward, before Charlotte ever upped their offer.

They go $14 mill or higher on their TPE, they're deep in the tax, their ownership is absolutely not doing that for Dieng.

I wouldn't want to give up Dinwiddie for Dieng. For Valanciunas and Kyle Anderson I'd be good though, with salary filler from this side to match.

I think they view turner as a big mistakes, and thought they would get more then thompson. they are barely over .500 and getting nothing from their 5 spot and dont play a PF on top of that. their main competition can kill you at the rim. they need help bad

Boston is a possibility but they already have two rotation centers and Dieng isn't much of an upgrade on either of them (definitely not an upgrade over Theis). Not getting Turner was a **** up for them, but there's a huge difference between Dieng and Turner. Dieng is a career backup big who is a 20 MPG player at best. Boston need to get a starting level player with their TPE.

[GTR11]

Hassan Whiteside out of rotation right now. Walton seem prefer to play young guns even though Hassan ain't that old.

Willy Hernangomez maybe. He's not as athletic as Pelle but his iq is much higher.

Still would prefer Biyambo but Hassan can ball when motivated. 2.3m is doable.

Richaun Homes is a flat out better player than Whiteside, that's why he is sitting.

I would rather have Biyombo

whitesside has declined, was a bit of a 1 way empty stats guy to begin with, and his hip injury may further cripple his career.

I still think McGee is several tiers above these other names
