Except 2 summers ago was possibly the greatest free agent class in history. This summer they have a shot at Deron and Dwigth via trade, but they lost out on a lottery pick. If they can land those 2 guys and resign Gerald Wallace and somehow keep Humphries they're a top team in the East.

Funny how no one is screaming, they have no pieces to trade for Howard, yet everyone was saying we had no pieces to trade for melo..they gave away there picks in the d will trade..and brook lopez is nothing more then soft ass bigman

"SOFT ASS BIGMAN"

Don't sound right.

Lottery picks aren't going to sell tickets in their new stadium.

Why did they trade a lottery pick to obtain Bird rights for a player that wont get a max contract. Couldnt they of easily just signed him as a FA and kept the lottery pick. The only thing thats a benefit is by trading for his bird rights they are able to sign and trade him in the off season instead of having to wait for the deadline. Just dont get how an overpaid Wallace is that great of a trade chip. Magic really want a 4 year 40 million dollar contract on a 30 year old Gerald Wallace. Does trading for Wallace who is going to opt out have any impact on Williams staying. If Williams wants to stay Gerald Wallace isnt changing that fact. If it did make a differance they could just go out and sign Wallace .Just pay him the most which they have to do anyway to keep him now. They would of also had a young player to build around. Can anyone explain to me how this isnt 1 of the dumbest trades of all time.

The hilarious thing is they were trying to trade up into the lottery to get Thomas Robinson. They could of got him if they didnt make that horrible trade. They could of moved from 6 to 4.

Wait until the final roster is on the floor.

I can't say I disagree with you but if they somehow field a team with Deron and Dwight we might be thinking a bit different.

Can't laugh until all is said and done. YOu can actually but you never know.

Teams sometimes "go for it". Knicks with lebron threw away Jordan Hill for a chance. Rockets are making a run at something.

We all laughed at the Timberwolves and they are on paper starting to fill out nice. Memphis was laughed at for the Pau trade and it worked to make them whole.

Sometimes you need luck (Hornets) but you have to put the team in the place to succeed.

At this point, it does look silly if Deron stays they become more interesting.

Funny, the only thing we don't hear is how Dwights back is? Nobody seems concerned.

What will it take for Orlando to be happy in trade? Tune in.

Nets finished yet?
