by the way im surprised Toronto didn't throw in Jalen Rose for another Nets player... Rose sucked since he got dealt up North of the border

He played well in the first year that he was in Chicago, but sucked since then. You guys were suckers to take a player who was fading as rapidly as he was.

Suckers? We got rid of the cancer Antonio Davis and we got back Donyell Marshall. We got the better player in Marshall overall in the Bulls trade last year.

Those two draft picks are from the Kmart deal... One actually from Denver and the other from the 76ers that Denver acquired. Both picks have protection rights on them.

Stole my thunder there. 😀 If Carter can stay healthy, this is a nice move for the Nets.

"Now starting for your New Jersey Nets... at forward... Brian Scalabriiiiiiineeeee!!!" :roll: <--- Nets need Krsitic to get better, fast.

So what are they going to do with the two roster spots?

Not sure they will definitely move RJ to small forward, VC at shooting guard, Kidd at point, Collins at center but pf? No idea

They might sign Brandon Armstrong after he gets rid of his plantar fascitis(sp?) since he knows the system.

I do think the Raptors are not done dealing players. Jalen Rose &amp; Mourning for Eddie Jones plus others?

And you got about $20mil in salary a year also. It was unfortunate to see marshall go tho, but AD has been great since he's been in chicago. From what I understood, his problem was because he had no respect for carter, who was the real source of the cancer (also shown by the fact that the raptors play better without him).

You won't win with Rose - he needs too many shots and misses too many, including the big ones, and doesn't move the ball. It was a great trade getting rid of him, and the raptors will be better off doing the same.

Info about the two picks...

2005 1st rounder from Philly, protected in 2005 1-8, 2006 protected 1-5, unprotected in 2007.

2006 1st rounder from Denver, protected 2006 1-5, protected 2007 1-2, 2008 unprotected.

It also seems like Mourning will reach a buyout with Toronto and go to Miami. He isnt required for a physical with Toronto.

There are seems to be rumors of a Kidd for Andre Miller, Nene Hilario &amp; filler.

Talk about pleasing KMart with a move... didn't he get into a fight with Nene the first day of practice?

Zo apparently was already not playing (missed last 3 games getting medical tests), and depending on the results, as well as his feelings about going to a loser, makes him a possibility to not report, according to gm Babcock. But that won't kill the deal if he doesn't.
