Deron Williams Trade Discussion (Resigning w/Brooklyn)

Deron and Pau could be marketable in NJ.

If they want to keep Deron, maybe we could take Gerald Wallace, Gerald Green, and Anthony Morrow instead for Pau.

Wallace and Hill can start at the Forward positions, Green can be a spark off the bench, and we can run a Sessions/Morrow backcourt when Kobe is out instead of our awful Sessions/Blake combo. Fill a bunch of holes. We can then trade Ebanks (or Metta) and a 1st for a serviceable big or something. Just a quick thought.

think they rather suck and hope for a better draft pick, also Smith wouldn't be very motivated either to play for the nets w/o any help. If a 3rd team is involved I'd think if Minn was willing to take Pau and give NJ Derrick Williams and we give Nj some picks maybe they'd be interested.

this is by far the worse idea of a trade I've seen yet, no offense but seriously have you even watch Wallace play this year? and Green is a FA, he played well in NJ cause he got a boat of PT and got the green light to chuck, he isn't getting that here.

Stefan Bondy: With Lakers S/T for D-Will, source said the Nets would not do that deal for Pau Gasol. Would rather have cap space.

Was Wallace really that bad? Judging by his game logs, it doesn't seem bad at all. Plus he's known as a solid defender (or is he still anymore, assuming you've watched him?)

And why wouldn't Green get the green light here like any other 6th man? Would OJ Mayo get a green light? Jamal Crawford?

You forgot to talk about Morrow. He could be a nice piece off the bench, too. Both him and Green shoot way better than Steve Blake and Metta.

I recognize there are no "stars" in the trade, but getting a 1 for 1 swap with Gasol won't address most of our glaring weaknesses.

They'll probably be one of the most active teams this off-season.
Maybe if they don't get anyone good enough and Deron threatens to leave they'll trade for Pau or even someone like Smith. But I don't see that happening.

If the Nets would rather let Deron walk than take Pau, their only option would be Bynum.

The Nets wouldn't do a Bynum for Deron trade normally, but under FA-to-be/S&T circumstances, they may take it.

This is why I hope this 3 way works out

Pau to ATL
Josh Smith to NJ
Deron to LAL

according to that tweet, they'd rather have cap space than a vastly overpaid/getting older player like Pau. I'm assuming that holds true for JJ as well.

Unless we can get them young pieces/picks or a good young stud player, I don't see them mving Deron our way. In fact, it's better to let him walk than pay Pau and lose cap space.

Minny for Beasley, D Will is prob the best young package we can get for Pau that NJ would be interested in
