What's the Backup Plan?

PrintMikhail Prokhorov is fond of saying that the Nets have Plans "C", "D", etc. Plan "A" was getting two free agents to join the Nets last summer. Plan "B" is the current attempt to acquire Carmelo Anthony.
What's Plan "C", "D", etc.? Reporters think they know. Mitch Lawrence suggested Wednesday the Nets could be interested in Andrei Kirilenko, the Jazz small forward who has "good relationship" with Prokhorov. Prokhorov owned CSKA Moscow when AK-47 played there as a teenager.
Kirilenko in interviews with Russian and Utah reporters Wednesday dismissed it as speculation, but the 30-year-old admitted he'd be interested in a front office job on retirement.
And Chad Ford, in a chat, says he's "heard rumblings about a Luis Scola & Kevin Martin deal with the Rockets" and notes as well that the Nets "pursued Danny Granger at draft time and could pick up the pursuit again."

Melo would be cool
but we are giving up a bit too much.
Still we have to see where the Melodrama goes before pursuing Granger and the rest
LOL
Reminds me of our PG. DHarris and KMartin backup. Lethal…when healthy.

I’ve watched him all year. He’s been used to having the ball in his hands. It’s just now where he’s got another guy to share the load. I think if you pair him with the right PG, it’ll work. This guy is a VICIOUS scorer AND he averages more assists than Harris.

Ellis will be a dream come true if he were to become a Net!
If I can just hide, the sinner inside, and keep him denied.

Dont see how trade with Houston would work
I doubt they dump Scola for picks
Yao is hurt/done so they need a center
Would u trade Brook? I wouldnt
What else do we have that they want? Favors? Maybe but why would we do that? Scola isnt worth Favors. plus they have Jordan Hill. who hasnt done much.. but neither has DFav.
How bout this for Plan B?
Two parts to my Plan B:
B(1) – Trade Devin Harris for Gerald Wallace (the salaries match)
B(2) – Trade Troy Murphy for Monte Ellis (again the salaries match, and obviously Murphy is an expiring….may be a bit of a log jam with David Lee, but Murphy could help that squad).
Plan C would be to draft a point guard amongst Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker and Josh Selby.
well
B1 would work and maybe could happen
B2 wouldnt.. that would perhaps be the worst trade ever. Ellis is playing well and they salary dump him? I think we’d have to give Lopez or Favors back to get him.. or 1-2 really good picks
B(1) – They’re trying to get rid of salary, not match it.
B(2) – What??

I think they can move Murphy to Charlotte for Wallace. They’re looking to clear contracts off the books. I’d also check into Captain Jack also. They’re clearing salaries out. Two scorers like that would change things here. It also wouldn’t have to cost us Favors. I’d rather move Hump because he’s going to get a big contract from someone.

Jumpin out the window
If we could somehow grab Kevin Martin, Scola and Granger i would dive right out a closed window.
That imo is better than just adding Melo. You would have scoring at 4 positions rebounding and 2 closers. Let farmar run the point until we can upgrade.
Lopez
Scola
Granger
Martin
Farmar
Thats playoffs easy.
How would you dive out a closed window?

best case scenario for Melo is this
Proky gets to meet with him without a deal in place. Proky sells melo on nj.
tells Melo to go public with trade demand but also tell Denver he will not to go NJ if Denver insists on their stupid trade demands.. dumb for melo to go to a team that will be trading all of their talent
Denver either caves
or tells Melo to shove it and stay the whole year with us
we sign melo as a FA

This is actually really interesting because
it demonstrates a fundamental flaw in Hollinger’s PER system. Everybody knows that if a team were allowed to only carry five players, playing them 48 mins/night for 82 games, they would not win +9 games (whatever that amounts to).
The Russians' and Yormark's handling of trade rumors have destroyed the 2010-2011 Nets. Even if we win a gazillion championships in Brooklyn, their destruction of the 10-11 Nets will always be on their resume.

TRADE EVERYONE!
This entire group has been tainted. Whether it was being part of last year’s debacle or being part of this year’s debacle and everybody having their name mentioned in trade, every one on the current team has been cursed by being in this setting. The only way to lift the curse is go get every player into a different setting and overhaul the roster 100%.
w/Charlotte:
Harris, $3m
for
Augustin, Carroll, Najera
Charlotte was on the fence about Diaw and Augustin earlier in Melo talks, so they add worse contracts (Caroll + Najera) and get some cash for a money hungry team.
w/OKC
Lopez, Outlaw, Graham
for
Harden, Green, Mullins
OKC gets the C they need to be well rounded and dominant.
w/Dallas
Murphy, ’11 #2
for
Butler, ’11 #1, ’12 #2
*Butler bought out
Dallas moves down 5-10 spots in the draft, but they get a usable big man for an injured player, and Butler is bought out so he can return for the playoffs.
w/Washington
Favors, Farmar, Morrow, LAL #1, $3m
for
Blatche, Hinrich, ’11 #1 (Protected top 5/4/3)
Washington lines up Wall/Young/Favors/McGee, adds a nice shooter and back-up PG as well.
w/NY
Petro, Ross, Uzoh, ’12 HOU #1
for
Randolph, Mozgov
NY gets a more ready and capable C in Petro who can rebound and defend pretty well. They also get a #1 to use in a Melo trade and a back-up PG.
w/Indy
Humphries, D.James, ’12 NJ #2, ’12 MIA #2, $3m
for
P.George, D.Jones, Stephenson
Indiana gets a PF that helps them now, and is young enough to become part of their future. They adds a big athletic defender and rebounder in D.James on the wings and other minor incentive.
w/Memphis
Vujacic, $3m
for
Thabeet
Memphis sheds Thabeets salary, adds a shooter show may replace Mayo, and gets some cash.
NETS
Augustin / Hinrich / Stephenson
Harden / D.Jones / Carroll
J.Green / P.George / Butler*
Blatche / Randolph / Najera
Mozgov / Thabeet / Mullins
+
’11 NJ #1
’11 WAS #1
’11 DAL #1
’12 NJ #1
’12 GS #1
’12 DAL #2
NJ loads up on prospects and picks in hopes that at least one player turns into the star they need to compete. They also have tons of financial flexibility with which to work.
On the surface
Going into Brooklyn:
NETS
Augustin / Stephenson
Harden /
J.Green / P.George
Blatche / Randolph
Mozgov /

’11 NJ #1 – top 5
’11 WAS #1 – lotto

Build through the Draft
We are aping the Knicks’ failed approach by trying to add “stars” to create buzz and sell tickets. It has failed repeatedly in creating winning teams because it usually leaves you with high salaried, under-performing players that were unwanted by their former teams for a reason. So I hope the Carmelo deal falls through because we would not have a proper supporting cast for a contending team. We can become competitive if we draft intelligently and learn how to actually develop our own stars. Then we cherry pick the final piece (like Detroit did with Rasheed) and we’re on our way.
However, there will be teams desperate enough to give us a good player for, say, the Lakers pick and expirings, and it could be worth it. Here’s my take on the candidates:
1. G. Wallace. The guy’s a player. Definitely worth the injury risk.
2. K. Martin. One dimensional scorer, but what a dimension. Even greater injury risk, though.
3. AK47. Hmm, yet another injury risk—notice the trend? Competent if diminished player, FA signing for short duration only.
4. L. Scola. I’d rather build around Favors, but prefer Luis over the Hump.
5. M. Ellis. The new World B. Free. Very exciting fantasy player, but can he lead a real winning team? Doubt it.
6. D. Granger. Chucker who would certainly be over-valued.
7. Rip. Give me a frickin’ break already. You can’t build around 30+ y.o. guards with boat achor contracts.
I’d much rather stink now than be borderline competitive with a low ceiling so that we would have to go through another rebuild to be truly competitive. Not much patience among posters here, though, I’ve noticed. I understand, but it’s still sad. BTW, I would take Battier as a FA or dump for expiring just to have him in the organization for coaching succession planning. AJ will burn out in a year or two, and Shane will be a great NBA coach.

How can you say that?
The Nets are also poor defensively. They are poor all-around. Scola is a very good player on both ends and is definitely an Avery type player.
If you built through the draft, and kept our guys, like Favors, a frontcourt combination of Scola and Lopez with Humphries and Favors backing them up would be dynamite.

just to make sure and to sum up
the Nets have their own first rounder, the GS pick (if they make the playoffs and avoid the lottery) and the Lakers’ pick (probably late-20s or 30) right? even though GS probably isn’t gonna make the playoffs and the pick becomes top 11-protected next year
If we are going to go to plan C, we can't wait until the trade deadline to start it.
So we have to have a drop dead date with Denver, to leave enough time for dealing with the other teams. I wonder what that drop dead date would be? What effect would such an announcement have on Denver?

Scola’s been a high-quality player who’s having a down season this year. And he wouldn’t been a safer bet to provide value over the life of his contract than Travis Outlaw. And Kevin Martin is a tremendously efficient scorer & the Nets offense needs that. I’d gladly take both of them if Morey & the Rockets want to move them.

You can move Hump in the deal instead but you’ll lose Kim AND you may have to throw another first in the deal. Either way, you’re dealing from a strength. You’ve got two young capable PFs so either could get moved. For the SAME picks you were going to move in the Melo deal AND you’re staying on the young side. Jackson’s the ‘old guy’ at 32. If you’re going to take back contracts, THIS is the way I’d do it. NO had to be watching the Melo thing and thinking ’that’ll be us next year’.I say let’s make this happen before the ‘CP3 circus’ comes to town. He’s probably going to AT LEAST think about it because he could be one of the first affected by the new CBA.
