Two players who the Nets cannot trade

trading for melo and giving away half the roster isn’t going to produce any more wins for this season. in my opinion the nets would be much better off playing out the season as is, if its lottery bound get a nice young piece again, and then spend the 20 million in cap space wisely and theyll be much better off down the road then giving away a bunch of young talent for a guy who i personally think wouldnt even be able to play for or get along with avery johnson anyway.

then we’ll give them Hump, 2 moldy picks, and Kiki’s expiring contract

Brook lopez devin harris t-will/morrow and murphy cannot be traded cause without them we dont even have a normal line up anymore. we can trade back-ups and third strings and outlaw but dont trade your starters when you dont have anyone in there place or else we may just as well not trade anyone at all.

or is there a moratorium on that

nuggets arent trading melo to nets unless brook or favors is included and if not brook then probably itd be favors & harris, twill and a #1 dp + cash, and probably in that case theyd also include murphy and get back jr smith. i wouldnt trade for melo if u had to include brook or favors, melo scores 25 ppg+ and does about nothing else.

the biggest problem the nets had is they had their one horrible season and didnt get the top pick, so favors has to become a dwight howard type player otherwise their horrible season went for nothing. the easiest way in the nba to succeed big time long term is to have a horrible year and get the #1 pick – ie spurs & duncan, & then have ur franchise player for the next 10-15 years. the nets missed out on that with wall so favors has to get lucky, or the nets have to get incredibly lucky probably this season or next season and luck into the #1-#2 pick instead of picking around 8-14 where they would be slotted.

i dunno why melo wouldnt just sign for 3 yrs $65 mil unless he can force them to sign & trade for that. otherwise he will probably give up probably 20-25 mil because of the new cba. or just stay in denver & sign for like 5 yrs & 100 mil, if thats possible, i assume it is?

the most we should give up is Favors, Twill and a Pick

no way we trade harris favors and twil and a pick

Unless we get CP3, Durant and Melo at once. That’s Brook Lopez. Anyone else for the right price is up for grabs.

i wouldn’t want to trade lopez or favors, but i’d much rather trade them than have another 12 win season

are you not happy with that?
