No real reason except to let the Lakers win.

It gives the Bulls flexability, they could trade Pau's expiring in a season if he doesn't shape up, or amnesty him. It would basically be like amnestying Watson Korver and Boozer at once. It'd plummet them into rebuild again, they'd have to trade deng and hope for another draft miracle.
Nets would be alright
Watson/ Farmar?
Morrow/Brooks
Korver/Wallace?
Boozer/Humphries?
Bropez
Thats a 7 or 8 seed in the east, or they could not resign their guys, develope Brooks, Bropez and Morrow and tank for picks again.

Brooklyn you know you want those emotional and-1s!
That Nets side of the trade banks on a few things:
- Proky and company not being the best at putting together (ex. Wallace trade, potentially DWill trade)
- How willing Proky and co are to give up their near future to make the playoffs immediately, first time with Proky as owner and decently quick at that.
- Going to Brooklyn, a team fishing for picks is going to be a hard sell for a team with virtually no fan base and a much more popular team sharing the city.
The Nets are likely going to lose Deron anyway, might as well flip him for a first round exit so they have a FO moral victory under their new regime.
But I don't think it would happen either. Just wasting time while at work.

Something tells me it's going to be;
1) Nets (new town? da fix is in)
2) Bobcats (stern is still suckin on mj's shoelaces)
3) Cavs (rich owner, has influence with Stern)
4) Hornets (welcome to the nba, noob owner)
The NBA, it's lottery is fixedtastic...
The audacity of Lakers fans.

I wish it was just an Onion article. Oh well, I called it. The Clippers have no desire to keep Paul or Griffin apparently.

Looking at the Nets payroll, they'd actually have to S&T Bropez and Crash to make the numbers match in a Dwight trade which the new, intelligent Magic GM would never agree to. I figure if the Nets get a Top 3 pick they'd just try to sell Deron on playing with a high lotto talent and saving money to get a complementary piece in the future.
If that happens then I will cut someone.
Terrible trade for the nets and they get significantly worse than this year.
He's right in that drafting granger/deng isn't bad. They're good players.
Its just... most teams need more.

Barnes is like Deng if Deng wasn't active on defense so that's sort of nothing like Deng.
I literally have no idea about any of the players in this draft. So i don't know enough to comment on that side of it.

The Warriors will not get that pick tomorrow, I can feel it! Espiecially after trade talks fallihg. Would be nice for Jazz to pick 8th tomorrow or any pick at that matter.
I think Deng is a poor example because he's a better defender and rebounder, and Granger has more of an attitude. Maybe the best case is Caron Butler? I just don't see him being a regular all star. But a regular 15ppg+ starter.
Unless Stern decides that since the team is moving from Oakland to San Francisco they need a helping hand I'm expecting to lose the pick too. Not as annoyed about it as I would be a month ago, anyone who could be available at 7 isn't that appealing.
Sterling gonna Sterl
LOL. Both Mike Brown AND VDN back in Los Angeles for another year? I would have lost money on that bet.
Deron

The 4th pick is the Bobcats future.
Take that to the bank.

Doesn't matter what pick the have... MJ is going to fuck it up somehow..

They don't need a big FA.. and money talks.. if they gave Williams the world (somehow) I wouldn't be shocked to see him as a Laker..
However, I think Wallace would be a good fit in LA if they cant get that huge name!
Yep, the Nets' chances of getting Dwight in a trade dwindled significantly after the trade deadline. Especially if they don't get a first-round pick.

The Nets will be ok in the long run I think.. they are not in as bad of a place as like the Cats, or the Wiz
Billy King is a pretty bad GM. Not being Bobcats bad is not exactly the highest praise in the world.

Billy King drafts well.. but trades poorly.. I think not having to please a star and a coach like Larry Brown will make him a little better..

Harrison Barnes isn't that bad guys. I mean Roy was holding him back.
we are trying to move up and I have a feeling Barnes is the target...shoot me now
Well he probably won't have to worry about pleasing any stars if they don't get a draft pick tomorrow.

Man the Nets situation could be pretty bad come to think of it.
They could lose their pick, their best player, their second best player, and be left with with the Remains of Brook Lopez (until he offs himself) to promote to the Brooklyn folks.
Goddam.

But the cap room they will have will be epic...
Wait, who are you calling their second best player?

That's not a big loss... he's too old to help them. He needs to be on a veteran team as a role player.
