Nets/Kings Agree in Principle (Terry/Evans for Thornton)

[Fafnir]

Thornton isn't what the Nets needed. They needed someone who can impact the game without needing shots. Not a one dimensional scorer.

It's a shame. Thornton could be a really useful piece on the right team but it has never happened for him. I hope he finds a better situation once his contract expires.

They're apparently pursuing Jordan Hill from the Lakers as well.

Shuffling of the deck chairs, BKN trying to upgrade its talent and SAC upgrading its locker room.

The NBA trade deadline, where shuffling of deck chairs happens.

Thats one heckuva payroll that Brooklyn would be having.

Agreed.

"@WojYahooNBA: With Sacramento deal and absorbing Hill into Disabled Player Exception, Nets payroll and tax would reach $210 million or so."

Feel bad for the Jet.

Feel bad for the Jet.

Well for millions of dollars, I don't. He should've asked to be sent back to the Mavs to revitalize his career lol.

Moving around that much and that frequently sucks, regardless of your bank account. Especially if you're not a bachelor and/or have a family.

Sounds like they're trying to get Thornton so he can fill the role they wanted Terry to play in the first place.

Maybe they're still hoping Kirilenko can shake off the rust enough to be the off-ball impact guy you're describing.

I hope Jet didn't get that Nets tattoo like he said he would in the beginning of the season

weeeeeee!!!

I love tattoos, but Jet needs to stop. Maybe just print up some t-shirts or something.

I can't figure out what made them think this is a good idea. Thornton struggled every time the Kings tried to bring him off the bench for an extended period of time.

I hear he's got space available on each butt cheek.  would be natural for a Sac tat.  each time he takes his 'morning constitutional' he'd be the "King on his Throne"    

I'm just a sucker for toilet humor
