i dont know much about Krstic or Nachbar...
r these even realistic trades? is Radmonovic worth two people on any team? i mean at times i love radmonovic, im willing to trade him, but if we keep him, eh, whatever

but im pretty much positive we dont trade L Walton for draft picks, that sounds kinda dumb

and i want to keep lamar for a little while see how he does

other wise i must say im a little more interested than usual

7' 0 " tall small forward?!? He has always played in his Chinese team as a center, but, when entered the NBA draft as a First Overal Pic, they introdiced him as a power forward. But. I suggest you to watch the Chinese Basketball Team next month in the Olympic Tournament and you will see exactly what is Yi's position.
That is why, the Nets got Boby Simmons, who will be their starter at SF ( in the place of R. Jefferson ) and Yi Jianlian at center. At 4 (PF) they got a rising star in Sean Williams and two more hard working guys like Stormile Swift and Eduardo Najera. Not to mention Josh Boone and the second of their first round pics - R.Anderson. Comprende?

dude what r u talking about Yi is a SF, and he obviously does not play center for the Chinese team because Yao Ming plays these. Yi plays natually like a SF but can be an agile PF simple as that but he never plays Center. Second Ryan Anderson is a SF, all he does is shoot threes and jumpers so calling him a PF would be wrong. Finally Najera is a SF so they are set at that position. SO basically nets would never take Luke because they need cap space for 2010 offseason.

Shouldn't they be having somewhat of a Fire Sale soon, with trying to get their hands on LeBron?

I would take any of the following off their hands:

Sean Williams (Mean, Nasty Defensive Power Forward, which we currently do not have)
Marcus Williams (Good @ UCONN + He's from LA)
Trenton Hassell (Good perimiter defender)
Stromile Swift (Good backup Center/Block Shot Little Lazy, but can defend, a Reunion with Pau might do him some good. Good friends I've heard)

They can have any of the following IMO:
Luke Walton
Chris Mihm
Coby Karl
Vlad Rad

The kids from NJ I've listed are pretty young except Swift, and could solidify a dominating future for LA. They could become some blue-collar type players, that play "D" which is what our team needs. Hard-working Defensive-Minded Players!!!

You have made all of them a small forwards, hah? OK! I am not going to argue with you. Yao Ming did not play a basketball for more than a year. Durring that time, Yi was the natinal teams C/PF for most of the games. And, if you are going to qualify E.Najera as a SF, it makes no sense for me to go on.
Obviously, you haven't read well my post.
I didn't mention L.Walton's name in the trade for Krstic and Nachbar. I was offering V.Radmanovic.Luke does not have that much value.
And of course, we all heard the news of Bostjan Nachbar signing 3 years deal with Dynamo Moscaw. Same as C.Delfino and Jose Garbajosa from Toronto and Juan Carlos Navarro from Memphis. More and more European teams are offering big money for the NBA players and if that continue, there won't be any FA market in 2 - 3 years. Tax Free World. Anyone will preffer to play there.

No wonder, if you make him even a Point Guard, hah!
Dude! Go to ESPN.com, click on PLAYERS tab, then select letter "J" from the list of names. Open Yi Jianlian's profile and read.
At 7-0 or 6-11, he is a perfect PF and will play this summer as a PF for his country on the Olympics, while, of course, Yao Ming will get the center spot.

The Bucks drafted him to play at 4, while A.Bogutt was their starter at 5. But, when he went down with that injury, the coach disided to put Yi to replace him, insted of Dan Gadzuric. And Charlie Villanueva started at PF.

As you already know, many of the NBA's tall guys can play both 4 & 5 positions. I am not saying, all of them can do that, but many. Pau Gasol is one of them.

And please, don't bite on uninportant issues. My point was to get those to guys as a back-ups on 4 and 5. Anyway, they are not in the Nets plans for the next season and we need to download some $$$ to open a room for them. That was the point of my post. The current Nets roster still lucks a long range shoter and Radmanovic can be the perfect fit fot them. Nachbar is out of the market, but Krstis still is there. They can add someone else, like Trenton Hassell or Stormile Swift. If is neccesary, we can include Ch.Mihm or J.Crawford or C.Karl. Just to make a deal. Just to shake - up a little bit the surface of the ocean.
We desperately need to do something. To make this team better. So far, I can't see that happens.

Williams was impressive in limited time this year.

Harris is a defensive stud who can create for others.

Never been sold on Williams, but you can't knock his offensive production and efficiency.[/quote]

I don't think, we have the players to make a trade for both Williams and D.Harris. Those three guys are the cornerstones of the new Nets team. And, if they can get rid of Vince Carter's contract these days, they automaticaly are becoming the second force in the East, behind the Celtics. Look at their roster.

1. Marcus Williams ( Q.Dooling )

2. D.Harris (Tr.Hassell ) J.Hayes ( M.Ager )

3. B.Simmons( R.Anderson )

4. Sean Williams (Yi Jianlian) Josh Boone ( St.Swift ) E Najera

5. J.Collins ( Brook Lopez )

SEAN WILLIAM PLEASEE

man13

exactly who we need man... turiaf with better shot blocking, rebounding and scoring, but poorer attitude and jump shots.

get him mitch!!!

I would actually like Josh Boone. He is like a less strong Kwame Brown with hands. He can board and improved drastically on his position defense last season. And the Nets most likely starting lineup next season will have Yi at the 4 with Boone at the 5 unless Brook Lopez shows something big in training camp.

Yi is like an SF-PF hybrid. kinda like Odom, except he's not as good a rebounder.

I have said it before. Will repeat it again for you.
Go to ESPN.com and click on the "Players" tab at the top row. Then, from the alphabethical list, select the letter "J" for Jianlian and you will see, what is the real position of Yi. OK?

But, I don't understand your ( and some other guys here ) continious coments about Yi. Been SF or PF, that doesn't means anything. My post is not about Yi, it is about Nenad Krstic ( still available for trade) and Bostjan Nachbar (out of the market ).Those are the two guys, we need as a back-ups at 4 and 5. And, they are not in the plans of the Nets organization. Simple as it is.

Please, stop writing comments about Yi. He is not the point in my post and if he is a hybrid, that is F/C type. Not a SF/PF.
