Any team taking him in will likely release him anyway. I would consider it to get some of our own picks back, but we’d have to send out someone like Dinwiddie. Not sure it’s worth losing him
The nets aren’t getting their picks back!!
If you actually listen to what Shams said they’re trying to get a player back that the Nets don’t have and give up just second rounders.
The Rockets would just cut him way before they’d ever give up an asset as valuable as the Nets picks.
Who would want him now, except to move bad contracts and then buy him out? After all the negative vibes and PR drama, I don’t see us going down this route. Why would a rebuilding team offer picks? Just buy him out
It’s unlikely but if we can get one pick back we might as well do it and just immediately waive him
Yesterday when I thought the Nets could get their picks back I was completely on board with the trade but the fact the Rockets only want to part with 2nd round picks is insane and they engaged with multiple teams. I can’t imagine a team would take the PR Hit for a few 2nd round picks when the Nets picks should be at play.
