Title: Trade Idea with the Nets
Post by: kozlodoev on February 05, 2013, 09:18:03 PM
Humphries is having a miserable season and has landed on the Nets bench. Maybe we can pry him away with a combination of Terry and Bass?

I think that's something I'd actually consider.

I like it but I doubt we could get C.J. Watson & doubt they would want Terry, but if we take Humphries heavy contract I would want some candy back in return for my troubles. Courtney Lee fits better for their corner & kick style in Bogans spot so I would do this.

Boston sends:  Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee & Fab Melo

Boston receives: Kris Humphries, Andray Blatche & Marshon Brooks

heavy? He makes less than Terry and Bass and is signed a year less.

So he is paid as much as two reasonable rotation players, and is currently coming off the bench. Sure, a year less, but in per-annum terms the contract is heavy-ish.

Humphries is a double-double threat when given minutes, and is still relatively young.

Giving him grief for the whole Kardashian affair is kind of dumb. It's much like piling on Gronkowski for Bibi Jones.

Stop here! When given minutes...well mentioned...Can U imagine how many minutes Doc might give to mr. Kardashian? See Wilcox and Collins etc.

Humphries would be a clear upgrade on either of those two, down season & all.

He's not gonna be playing 4-5 minutes a game if that trade goes down.  He's immediately a rotation guy on the Celtics.

Doc gave Bass 30+ minutes last season. I have no reason for  Humphries not to get more than this, having in mind that:

(a) he's a better player than Bass
(b) we really have no other PFs

If we're giving up Bass to get him, he's pretty much an automatic starter with guaranteed 30+ minutes per game.

He must be attainable, given his rotation status and contract, I just wonder if he can be had without giving up too much.

Im not sure I would throw in Jet with the way he's playing right now. But I love thebidea of a Bass-Humphries swap. If the Nets would be okaybwith future picks then im all for it.

I feel the same way.  I'm expecting Terry to start being the Terry we were expecting 5 months ago which is a really good player.  We're already starting to see it.

As for the picks, it would in no way be worth adding a first, but a second I'd be down with.  Don't know if that's enough for Brooklyn unfortunately.

There are similar in many ways, but Humphries is a considerably better rebounder and shot blocker -- and that's an area of need for us.

Hey I thought this was a really interesting and clever trade. I'm not thrilled about losing JET but I really like Watson. I know he has some decision making problems but I think he's a very good backup PG. I also think at 28 he's settled in to the idea of a bench role. He's never started consistently (around 17% of his games).

Humphries is an obvious upgrade over Bass in everything but mid-range shooting. It's not like we lack that right now.

I'd make this trade for sure. I'd also accept a Watson/Blatche swap. I think to get a capable big man we should offer Lee or Terry.

Apparently Nets fans think that a similar combination can land them Garnett and Terry. Heh.
