What kind of sweetener would it take to make the Nets do this trade?

[wdleehi]

Celtics send Bass and Terry


Nets send Humphries


Nets save 1 million next year but take on one more year of salaries.  They replace one role player with two role players.


Celtics clear the Terry and Bass contract one year sooner.




What type of sweetener would it take to make such a move and would it then be worth it?

I'd guess something of these proportions:

Please look at what he has been doing for them this year?

http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2433/kris-humphries

11 minutes a game in the playoffs


5.8 and 5.6 in the regular season.  For 12 million a season. 


They might want two players that produce more then that together more then that.

Humphries? Ugh, I really do not want Humphries.

I don't think Humphries holds that much value to Boston. We already have Jared Sullinger who looks to be a better player than Humphries is. Humphries would probably play a bench role. 20-25 minutes a night off the bench. Useful against big lineups but less so against the likes of Miami and New York.

On the plus side, it shaves a year off of those Bass + Terry contracts. Then bye bye Humphries. I think I am more interested in the contract than the player.

I'd say swapping first rounders this year or Jordan Crawford/Fab Melo could do the trick.

Humphries is only averaging 5 and 5 a game but in half the minutes he was seeing previously. I think he could be a solid 10 and 10 guy if given the minutes. His contract is a bit steep but would be expiring next year, which would have us clearing some serious cap space post PP and KG.

I think the problem with this deal is that the Nets are under the impression that they can get a serious return for Humphries if paired with a guy like Marshon Brooks, so I don't think they are looking to get back Bass and Terry out of the deal.

But Bass could definitely be a solid rotation PF for them and a compliment to Reggie Evans and Terry could be a solid veteran presence (and again if they think Terry might retire early he becomes a solid trade option).

I'd make an offer, if only to get out of Bass and Terry's contracts a year earlier and who knows maybe Humphries and Sully can combine to restore some of the inside presence we've been lacking.

[PhoSita]

I'd be on board with the deal, and I think the Nets might be too.  I might consider doing it even if it's Lee in the deal rather than Terry.

I don't love Humphries, but he's a much better rebounder than Bass and probably more capable of playing center.  Definitely not the individual defender that Bass is, though.

The long term financial savings would be more than worth it, though.  The Nets could really use some more depth, and trading one okay but overpaid role player for two okay but overpaid role players would help with that need.

Nets should definitely do it. It's probably the best deal they'll get for Humphries other than picks. I'd pull the trigger.

So Humphries has been worthless. This doesn't mean they'd readily take on two aging role-players on questionable contracts to clog their payroll yet again.

[slamtheking]

eh, not thrilled with Mr Kardashian.  this is mostly just a salary dump for us.  would hope to get a marginal center than a marginal PF if anything.

[Moranis]

I don't see why the Nets would do that for anything less than players/picks that Boston wouldn't want to trade.  Humphries has a huge expiring contract, which makes him incredibly valuable around the trade deadline.  They will hold on to him till then.

[pearljammer10]

I dont want Humphries on this team under any circumstances. He is worthless regardless of his expiring contract or not.

[Lucky17]

I'd rather trade Bass and Terry to Sacramento/Seattle for Chuck Hayes and John Salmons (final year only $1 mil guaranteed).

[SHAQATTACK]

Dumping Bass and Jet  (finding a sucker) ...well..that reminds me of

a BLUE -LIGHT special at Kmart sale


"junk they can't get rid of"

[BleedGreen1989]

I know a lot of people look at Kris Humphries and throws up a little in their mouth but truth is, the guy does one thing very well this team needs. Who knows where Sully will be coming back from his back surgery.

Not to mention it gets Boston out of the last 2 years of Terry/Bass combo and allows Brooklyn to add two bench players they likely wont be able to add any other way.

Humphries is still 28 years old and averaged 14 points/11 rebounds a year ago.

Would Brooklyn have to add something to make you consider?

[Evantime34]

If we are blowing it up by trading Pierce or KG I do this deal to free up future salary. If we find a way to ad to our core without moving the two veterans I think keeping those guys is a good idea.
