did ur back go out again?

[JayStar-8]

In all this talk of Power Forwards, I'm really holding out some hope that we make a deal for Josh Smith. He's a solid defender, and would pair well with Lopez's offensive game.

Quick note: Howard is obviously the ideal superstar target regardless of position, but I still don't see Orlando taking a New Jersey/Brooklyn deal over other potential deals, and even if he reaches Free Agency, there's little reason to *expect* he'll pick Brooklyn.

All in all, it still seems too risky to hold out for Howard if other options are available, and we all know that Josh Smith is on the trade block and has listed the Nets on his short list of preferred destinations.

Here's a trade idea for Josh Smith that probably needs some work, but at least has a basic framework that I think benefits all 3 teams. It works here in the Trade Machine: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=42a4ysx

Breakdown:

Nets get Josh Smith -- 'nuf said.

Hawks get Chris Kaman and Stephen Graham and maybe a pick from the Nets. Kaman gives them a true starting center, allowing them to move Horford to PF, something that they seem to be looking to do.

Clippers get Morrow, Damian James, Johan Petro, and maybe a pick from the Nets. The Clippers have been shopping Kaman hard and reportedly have been getting rejected. Given his decreasing value on the market, they could decide to trade him for this sort of package. Morrow gives them a nice outside shooting presence to work off of the Gordon-Griffin 1-2 punch, James gives them a nice prospect to pair with Aminu at the SF spot. But most of all, they get free up some cap space to give DeAndre Jordan a big contract.

I prefer Nene over Josh Smith. Im probably gonna get hammered for this, but I think he is a better fit beside BROOK LOPEZ.

Oh most def I would take Nene over Smith right now.

But if DWILL says I want Smith, we get SMith.

Agreed. That would be like a twin towers type deal right there.

Would Net fans do this deal or a variation of it:

Nets: Hedo & Ryan Anderson or Brandon Bass

Magic: Humphries & Outlaw

As Nets would still (depending on the CBA) have capspace, I'd do that trade, but I want Anderson, not Bass.

Anderson has a huge upside. He was the stretch four the Nets needed when we drafted him, that we could really use now. I'd do that deal.

Lets expand this.

Nets: Hedo, Howard

Magic: Humphries, Outlaw, Lopez, 2012 Rockets 1st rounder, 2013 Nets 1st rounder, 2012 Heat second rounder

Yes.

^^^Lets not..

[Oldmantrash]

Hedo is not the same player he used to be,don't want any part of him. Unless it's in a package with Howardv

Would you do Chris Paul for Deron Williams?

If paul was willing to sign along term deal.

Both great,I think they equal.

I was thinking of scenario's in case Dwill asks to be traded. This one can work for all sides.

Nets get: Chris Paul
Nets give: Deron Williams

Hornets get: Westbrook, Ibaka
Hornets give: Chris Paul

Thunder get: Deron Williams
Thunder give: Westbrook, Ibaka

Deron Williams and Chris Paul would have to sign extensions with their new teams for this to work. This won't happen though, since Dwill is staying. It's an interesting scenario though.
