A lot of 3 for 1 and 3 for 2 trades happening. Could mean some guys will fall off the end of rosters. We may be hanging around with a trade exception and a roster spot to pick one up.

$7 Million Trade Exception
Two Open Roster Spots
The Dallas #1
Protected Wizards, Pistons, Bucks picks
Talented Vets in Fournier and Rose

Thirteen Hours to investigate other deals.

AND, we can still be a player in the buyout market.

Sadly I like the Nyets much better now. Simmons is still an albatross but there is a fun roster in there.

Claxton Sharpe
Finney-Smith Thomas Simmons
Bridges ONeal
Thomas Sumner Mills
Dinwiddie Curry

You can expect these guys to show up and play without demanding a damn thing from the front office.

That kid they drafted after we selected Grimes has been on a scoring bender.

Dinwiddie is a solid PG and a high character guy and Finney-Smith and Crowder are gritty defenders.  And Simmons ain't gritty, nor is he completely shifty.  And Claxton can protect the rack.  Could be a tough defensive group. 

JV is a good coach.

Still....

For someone who doesn't play kids?

Thibs is playing a lot of kids.

And Randle, Brunson, Hart are all like 26, 27. 

Far out.

I still don't see why the Nets trade Durant right now. Doesn't make sense to me.

It had to include pressure from Durant itself, no?

If I had my druthers, would totally prefer Rose finds a home out West.

Do not want to come across him in the playoffs.

I can't react to any Knicks buzz until it actually happens.

(but I do not want IQ removed unless it's for something pretty awesome!)

It's funny that Durant can't bear to be on a team without another superstar...even if he might be surrounded by a ton of good pieces.

Fournier might have to sit on his French ass for the rest of the season.

Probably not ecstatic with that.
