Don't they have a year in order to do this?

I can't see the link but I don't know why the grizzlies would trade Zbo for an even older player

Its an expiring contract.

Pierce would be the contract match, they'd have to be getting other assets back. But the BKN don't have assets to give so yeah.....

Exactly. We took all their other assets. I'm sure there are other teams that would offer salary relief and at least a pick for Zbo

I'm not sure it makes he Nets better either. You likely lose KG if this happens

Unless they think a major part of heir problem is Pierce and KG getting along with Kidd. But if that's the case then they should get rid of Kidd

It doesn't make much sense. At least not for the Nets. They loose a SF, then tick off KG because PP was the reason he went there, and then tick him off even more by having him most likely coming off the bench.

If it does happen we'd just need Atlanta to start loosing some games. :P

Why? Sullinger is producing at the same level for much cheaper.

I saw this and it's such an idiotic rumor that I just ignored it.  Literally makes no sense for the Nets.

If they really just want salary relief for Zbo, I'd give them Humphries and the Clippers pick.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip
