I'm happy regardless as long as he doesn't re-sign with Boston.

Appears dh-turk to NJ deal works if done as two separate deals and six seven different players accept S&T. Doesn't make it smart, but it works.

Just might be crazy enough to work

The Nets trade isn't gonna happen. I could be wrong but I don't think Orlando will go through with it.

So wait a minute, correct me if I'm wrong but in that trade scenario, the Nets would keep both Wallace & Johnson?
So the starting lineup would be
PG - Deron
SG - Joe
SF - Wallace
PF - FA (Maybe Kenyon Martin)
C - Dwight

Well I'll be damned. If that trade happens, looks like the Celtics 5 year streak of winning the Atlantic is over.

They'd at least keep Johnson. I'm not sure how the Cap would work out if the get Deron, Unless he takes way less money he'll take up a huge chunk of their cap space with that max contract and Johnson has that ridiculous contract. would they even have enough money to take on Dwight?

[Notorious]

I think it is possible to have Deron, Dwight, Joe and Wallace all under contract but the rest of the team would all have to be either rookies or guys playing for the minimum.

Yeah I really don't think a GM with the incompetence levels of Billy King has what it takes to pull that off.

So it'd be a lot like the Miami Heat. iirc a lot of their guys outside of the Big 3 are on small contracts.

This would be an awful trade for Orlando. They should hold out for when a better offer comes from another team (and that offer will come, eventually). Until then, let Dwight be gotten to.

Battier, Chalmers, Haslem, Mike Miller and I think Joel Anthony are the only ones on the team outside of the Big 3 that aren't on minimum contracts or rookie contracts.

With the Nets, however, if they would have Deron, Dwight, Wallace and Johnson all under contract EVERYONE else on the team would have to be one of three things: On a rookie contract, on a vet's minimum contract, or a D-Leaguer.

The Raptors and Landry Fields have agreed to a 3 year, 20 mil offer sheet, the Knicks can still match but I doubt they will. The Suns wanted to sign-and-trade Nash to the Knicks for Fields but with Toronto doing this, it pretty much kills the deal. Smart move by Colangelo to give the Raps a better shot at Nash.
