Trade With the Nets: Poll

With Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes playing well for the Kings as of late, Moore looks like he'll be hitting the bench later this year. The Nets have been shopping sophomore Sean Williams, who got 8 blocks on the Kings last season in NJ. He got buried on the bench behind Josh Boone, Yi Jianlian, Brook Lopez, Eduardo Najera and Ryan Anderson. He also saw his minutes drop after the All-Star Break when Jason Kidd was traded to the Mavs. So here's an idea.
Trade Moore back to the Nets with Shelden Williams for Sean Williams and Stromile Swift. Sean is on a pretty cheap rookie contract and has a $1.4 million team option for 2010. He's only been given 25 minutes in 3 games. Swift's in his last year with $6.2 million left on his contract and hasn't stepped onto the court because of a back injury. Moore has a $2 million buyout option for next year that the Nets could excercise and his contract expires next season. Shelden's contract expires this season.
Stats:
Sean Williams (07-08): 5.6 PPG, 53.8% FG, 4.4 RPG, 1.5 BPG, 17.5 MPG
Stromile Swift (NJ 07-08): 5 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 0.9 BPG
Mikki Moore (08-09): 6.9 PPG, 59% FG, 3.6 RPG, 23 MPG
Shelden Williams (08-09): 3.9 PG, 3.3 RPG, 11.7 MPG
I think it works for both teams. The Kings get some extra cap space when Swift's contract expires and get another young big on a cheap contract. Both Moore and Williams can be let go after this season. What do you think?

Why does NJ make this trade exactly?
Kevin Pritchard has Chuck Norris tied up in the trunk of his car.

That's the point
I’m afraid, that for Nets it would be expiring contract for expiring contract(s) plus they lose Williams, who has presumably not so bad price at the market. Maybe add a second-round pick?

I don't want
Stromile Swift. He’s a bum of epic proportions.
I don’t think the team picks up Mikki’s options in 2009 unless he explodes and we make the playoffs.
Jason, Spencer are waiting on the wings ready to take the reigns from Mikki.
Sean Williams is an intriguing prospect but his maturity and lack of a motor limits his potential.
BOOK IT!

yeah
but better than shelden williams. id do this for 2 reason.
one, we already know what shelden brings to the table…and it isnt much.
two, it clears up playing time for JT and Hawes.
i dont see any negatives in this trade.

I proposed a Nets deal like this in the Mikki Ping Pong Balls thread....
and I think my trade makes more sense for the Nets. Douby and Moore for Williams and Swift actually gives the Nets the perimeter player they need while freeing up post minutes for Lopez and others. Douby is also a local guy who might thrive going home.

Yeah I agree with you JJ
Very much so in fact. That’s the kind of talent the Nets would prefer to get back, as opposed to Shelden who isn’t much of a talent to the Kings or anybody else at this point. But he is expendable. (I’m not sold he doesn’t have a place in this league. I’m just curious as to where.)

I hate guys who can't hit Free Throws
and I don’t know why exactly the Nets would give up on Williams so soon so I think its unlikely unless we sweeten the pot somehow (no #1 pick!)
- but I’d do it from our end 1) because of the rotation reasons mentioned by others, 2) this may be repeating, but it gives JT / Hawes the job, the minutes
3) I don’t think it hurts us and may help

On 2nd thought
We really need a SF/SG back, not two PF types

So the Nets
trade a cheap guy buried on their bench (Se.Williams) for a more expensive guy that will be buried on their bench (Sh.Williams). So then it comes down to Moore (another redundancy for them) for Swift. Not seein’ it for the Nets.

What about the trade JJ suggested?
Douby/Moore for Swift/Williams?

Certainly makes more sense
The Nets get perimeter shooting help, while we replace Mikki’s buyout number with a guy that could potentially work in behind Hawes and Thompson as a shot blocking presence off the bench. GP hates guys that can’t shoot, though, and Se.Williams’ range is about 6 inches and in.

If we lose Douby
(and I’m not saying we shouldn’t) we definately need a SG/SF back, too dangerous, too thin there

I don't think so...
Garcia will be back eventually but in the mean time Bobby Jackson and John Salmons are versatile enough to cover the spot and in a small line-up the Kings can even use Bobby Brown at the point with Beno at the two. The key to Petrie as a GM is that he always looks for versatility in his players just for this type of situation.

Beno
Cannot play the 2 effectively.
We need some 3 pt shooting, perimeter defense and an ability to just score if needed.
I’d be for a defensive minded 3/2 that can hit the 3 off the bench.
Just one injury to KM, Cisco or Salmons would leave us very very thin at the wing positions – as we can see now with Douby out (or gone later).

We need a 'catch and shoot' guy

No team is immune to injury.
Look at the Spurs and let’s see how Phoenix looks tonight without Barbosa, Nash or Barnes. Cisco is the player the Kings need and when he comes back the Kings look surprisingly good. Also, I disagree with whether Beno can play the 2 or not. He is certainly big enough to guard most shooting guards in the league and he can score in bunches when needed as seen against the Clipps. Is he a long term fix? No, but Douby isn’t really an NBA player so I could care less if he is on the roster or not.

hmmm trade to the Magic??
I like the idea of Reddick from the Magic coming aboard the Kings.
He would give us a shooter off the bench. Although he went from 6th man to 12th man in Orlando in a month.
So as was suggested in another thread a bit of Moore/Douby for Bogans/Reddick that makes us heavy and the 2 guard spot. Although Bogans does play decent D, and can drill the 3. So it might not be a bad idea.
Blessings.Love.Peace

I don't know if salaries match
or contract length, or whether they’d give up Bogans (they do need to get more athletic/dynamic at guard)
or whether they think Q might work for them.
but I’d be for that, I don’t think it makes us too heavy at the wings. Bogans can play the 3 can’t he?
Subtracting MM would give us the minutes for JT and Hawes. I’m not worried about the feelings of guys we bring in..

Doesn't look like the salaries quite match
7.2mil from us, 5.1 from them

You could make it work
if Orlando used their Dooling trade exception. Here’s the trade machine link.

OK
I’d have to think hard about that then. Probably go for it.
