2012 Trade Deadline Deal: Gerald Wallace to the Nets

[chazzy]

Wait it's only top 3 protected?? Wow this is a great draft class...

[Optimus Prime]

This trade doesn't make a whole lot of sense...Wallace doesn't get the Nets out of the toilet.

[Clutch]

Nets desperate to keep D-Will.

At the end they will lose both D-Will and young talent (1st round pick).

Do your really think Deron will stay because of Gerald Wallace. Are you kidding me ? GERALD ****ING WALLACE

He's a good player but he's not a player you bring in to make your superstar stay.

[It's A VC3!!!]

The Nets pick will either be 4-8. Please David Stern out of all the years you have rigged the draft, rig it again in favor of the Nets.

Deron Williams
MarShon Brooks
Gerald Wallace
Kris Humphries
Brook Lopez

When healthy that's actually a really nice lineup. The problem is 4 of those 5 guys can/will be free agents at the end of the year...

[R.I.P.]

Doesn´t Wallace have a player option, too. So he can leave in the summer as well. The Nets should have signed Nene, when they had a chance last off-season. What they gonna do now? Try to convince Deron to stay by signing Wallace and Brook Lopez to 5 year 60 million dollar deals.

Getting Crash only makes the chances that it's not 1-3 go up and up.

Stupid new jersey.

Thomas Robinson will be a solid first round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Help us out like you helped out the Bulls. Chicago just so happens to jump from #9 to #1 the same year Derrick Rose comes out? Yeah OK...

WHAT ARE THE NETS THINKING???

You tank this season, you get a top pic, you build through the draft a la OKC, with or without Deron. You don't mortgage your future on a player that is gonna help you NOT get a top pick, who is not nearly enough to keep Deron.

The 3rd to 6th worst teams in the NBA will virtually have the same amount of ping pong balls. It's up for grabs for anyone. I am deeply hoping the Nets get a top 3 pick, or this horendous season will be a complete failure if we give up our pick.

Edit:



I thought the Nets had gotten better, but they're apparently still one of the 6 worst...should have realized that. Then it makes you wonder how smart a trade this is.



It all depends on which pick they give up. Is it official?

[Qwyjibo]

This trade is great news for Toronto and every single other team that's tanking for a draft pick.

Unless there are other big moves ahead, this doesn't make too much sense for New Jersey though.

[KingJames99]

LOL really nets? this is retarded they aren't going to make the playoffs over the bucks/knicks and there pick is gonna be like 4-10 in a stacked draft ****ing dumb. Alot of good players that could be taken from 4-10 like Lamb or Robinson and they are giving it up for Wallace who turns 30 this year.
