Official 2012 Offseason Thread - Brooklyn Nets

I wanted to trade for JJ Hickson. What happened to him with the Kings?

he was having a rough time over there, idk why.

[JayStar-8]

As awesome as hump is, I don't want him back next year. I think there are better options that we could pursue.

[netsgiantsyanks]

if we can retain d-will, g-force, and snag a illyasova or hickson, it'd be a pretty solid offseason.

pg d-will/farmar
sg brooks/green(6th man)/morrow
sf wallace/james if he returns
pf hickson/fa(hump would want a shitload of money, if he returns, then no hickson)
c lopez/idk

this is purely hypothetical, but this is a solid team, barring injuries.

I agree. I think this team is on the level of the Pacers if healthy and look where the Pacers are (5th best record in the league).

pf's we should go after:

jeff green
jj hickson
jason thompson
marrese speights

Hickson should be a Net right now.

[JayStar-8]

Hickson should be a Net right now.

what do you mean?

[netsgiantsyanks]

we could have claimed him off waivers.

[llemon]

what do you mean?

Nets had the opportunity to pick Hickson up off the waiver wire before Portland did.

He is an RFA next season.

the only player better than humphries is garnett and he would never come here and would leave in a year or two, he only wants contender, odom is a quitter and mentally lost

hickson is not better than kris humphries who has 30 double doubles or so and ilyasova is more of a 3 and will only go to team that pays him the most. i wouldnt mind speights along with humphries if he is cheap or just bring back shelden. im sorry but i dont know where you think hickson or ilyasova is an upgrade when its a downgrade to humphries

Nets could have picked up Hickson on a no-risk trial basis for the rest of this season, and gave a QO if they liked what they saw.

I like Humph, but many fans and media-types are saying Humph is the guy that needs to be replaced.

[jaydee2327]

i agree that hickson was worth a no risk but for some reason nets didnt like him. the fans and media types dont appreciate humphries. im sorry but only one who is proven over time and on paper is garnett and he would never come here unless we had dwight and deron and he would be gone in a year or two while losing humphries, it makes no sense

This game is not played on paper.

Hump may be very expensive.

[dowork495]

heres a question if we get the number one pick do we trade for dwight or take davis and keep brook and brooks?(assuming dwill will stay with davis)
