Bk could trade thaddeus young for brandon jennngs

I'd love this as well. Young is there second best player behind Lopez. Either one of these guys go, Brooklyn will only get worse.

I would argue Young is actually probably their best player.

He might not be their highest profile player (since Lopez scores more points, and point scoring is what excites fans) but in terms of actually contributing to team wins...I suspect Young probably does more than Lopez given he is a two-way player and reasonably versatile.

If they trade Thad for Jennings, it will free up minutes for David Lee after Boston buys him out.  Then watch as David Lee returns to all-star form.  Lol.  That'd be pretty annoying.

Well, a couple of months ago you did say he was our best player.

Agreed - watching every thread turn into a personal gladiator fight kinda gets old.  It's just not necessary or productive.

I'm not worried about Lee making the Nets better.  I'd love to see Lee next to Lopez on defense!  And I'd love to watch Jennings do his best Russell Westbrook/Stephen Curry impression for them.

Be careful what you wish for.

David Lee has been averaging something like 18 / 10 / 3 Per 36 for us and was up around 50% from the field for much of the season.  If he is put in the right situation, there is every chance that he could put up 14 and 8 in 28 minutes as a starter and make a real impact.

With Lee putting up 14/8 and Lopez putting up 20/8 along with Brandon Jennings filling in the gap at PG and Joe Johnson continuing to have his "very occasional" good games...that could be JUST enough to push the Nets up to he 5th or 6th worst record in the NBA.

Especially looking at the way other teams (Phoenix, Minnesota, Denver) are going lately.

His defense also isn't as bad as people suggest.  If you ask me his defense is a hell of a lot better than Julius Randle's, and I don't think any of us would like to see Randle in Brooklyn right now.
