Exactly, I don't know of any team that desperate to take on those contracts for what the Nets have to offer (or lack of).

Is there anyone who honestly believes we shouldn't have made the PP/KG trade? We're going to get three straight lotto picks from them.

If Danny trades any one of our picks, particularly the BKN picks, for any one of those guys I'll be furious.

here's hoping they still stink a year from now

That's what you're waiting for if you're Danny.  Jump on Lopez.  You have the ammo.

I wonder if the Knicks would consider moving Amare for one of those guys.

Or, is PhilJax fully committed to a tank job this season?

I don't think Phil Jackson would rate any of those guys highly enough to give up the Knicks cap space for one of them. Not his sort of players -- overly scoring orientated players, limited in ability to effect game as defender/rebounder and team offense.

Out of the four, Amar'e's been playing the best so far.

He's the only one of the three that makes sense. But his injury history (now his back) gives me too much pause.

This could be a moon shot, but we need a defensive minded big. Any way to get KG back in Boston? He's not the long term answer but he could help us defensively at the end of games and be a mentor to Sully, KO, Zeller, Etc.

Yeah, looking more closely at the Knicks' books, that wouldn't really make sense for them.

Yes.  Jump at the chance for a 7 footer who can't stay healthy.

Pass on all 3.

Yep.  Especially since he's better than anything on your roster and fits perfectly with your team.
