Mario Chalmers traded to Grizzlies

[Lucky17]

Nets have a trade exception big enough for Udrih (or Stokes).  Udrih would seemingly help the Nets.

I don't think the Nets would necessarily need to use a TE to acquire Stokes (min salary). But if they did, they have one to accommodate him (and another for Udrih).

Both would be worthwhile gambles for Brooklyn.

Edit: Nets are currently at 15 rostered players, so someone would have to leave to make room.

Traded to the city whose heart he broke 7 years ago. 

There's some irony there.

I've absolutely hated Chalmers since he's been a pro in Miami, but that dagger shot that he hit against Memphis was one of my favorite moments in recent college basketball history.

not a real issue for the Nets as Reed and Sloan are easily waivable.

If the Celts had the roster slot, I'd have loved to see Ainge take a flier on Ennis.

What can Ennis do, besides jump?

"We want him to play to his strength," Spoesltra said. "That's running. That's energy. That's defense. He has developed his shooting. There's no question about that but that's in addition to all those other things."

He's taken a step back this season, behind Winslow. I'd like to see what he could do with consistent minutes.

No, he's pretty much garbage. Has very low BB IQ, poor ball handling, and isn't the best shooter. He's hung on because he's athletic. Riley wouldn't have traded him if he felt there was anything of substance there.

Udrih would push the Nets into the luxury tax, so that's not happening.  Stokes maybe, because the Nets should take flyers on cheap, inexperienced players.

Great move for Miami. Hate it for the Grizz.

Udrih might actually help them though and they need players.

Deron Williams could have helped them a lot more and they bought him out to get out from under the tax.

Willie Reed's a D-leaguer who got injured in preseason and is out for a few months (exacerbating a big man depth shortage already made acute by McCullough's ACL) and they still wouldn't cut him to retain the healthier (and more useful) Justin Harper because he was partially guaranteed and they couldn't add someone new without treading perilously close to the tax.

I think Billy King will be relying exclusively on payroll neutral trades to improve the Nets. That would mean he'd be offering somebody like Karasev for Udrih. Problem is nobody wants Karasev.

Deron williams wasn't happy though and wanted out and they saved 16 million in the buy out.
