Oh it's NJ's pick?

Then it's not too bad for Portland. That could be pretty high.

It's the 2012 Pick, protected only for Top 3. I'm sorry that's just idiotic...

I don't think picks should be allowed to be protected. You should have to roll the dice.

WTF are the Nets thinking?

Panic move.

Last ditch to keep Deron.

So much for a quiet deadline.

If that picks up 4 to 8 in this draft you can get a bigger impact player than Gerald Wallace. I love Wallace's game (everyone does) but he's not a star player, and the way he plays, he's ten seconds away from his year being over at all times.

The pickup if the pick is protected through maybe 10, or the Nets other pick made sense. This does not. Sorry...

You dumbass Billy King. The Nets are currently the 6th worst team, leaving them with an overall 6th pick possibly. That will go to the Blazers. With a great draft class this is the perfect example of making a trade JUST to make a trade.

The only concern I have was that Gerald Green looks like a legit player (good job Lakers, if you had first dibs).


Who were they gonna land in the draft? They don't need anyone in the backcourt. They're unlikely to net Barnes. They have little chance of netting Anthony Davis. Maybe a 4, and let Humphries go?


Honest question. If you're the Nets, who are you looking at in the draft?

[niko]

if you wanted an indication they are not sure Deron is staying, here you go.

What a putrid trade for the Nets.

I thought they weren't gonna make any more stupid deals.

Completely agree. I think it is a horrible move.
