The Trade That Changed Everything: In Thorn We Trust
While some might question whether or not the Nets have made roster moves this summer for team-building reasons or for strictly budgetary ones, NBA.com, in a review of some of the top trades of the past 20 years, reminds us of what was arguably the best trade ever in the franchise’s history when the Nets acquired Jason Kidd from Phoenix for Stephon Marbury. Kidd had the “character issues” tag when he was acquired, but back-to-back final trips later, I think most Nets fans forgot the assumed risks that came with Kidd. On days where I question the wisdom of team president Rod Thorn, I often come back to that trade and remember that we have one of the best minds in basketball running this ship. Nobody is perfect, but when you can pull off a move that good, you should be able to buy yourself a lot of good will.

I feel like David Lee can be the Nets big move that could make our team really strong going into 10-11.
The Knicks can't do a long term deal for Lee, we can. We have plenty of deals we can send the Knicks so a sign and trade might work for both sides. Lee is a double double machine, and when you have guys like CDR or Harris that might shoot in the low 40% FG% you need a natural rebounder fighting on the offensive glass. Maybe I am way off, and it would hurt our 2010 FA class but I think Lee is worth 3 or 4 years at 8-10 million.
