Oakfor helps them get another 5-10 wins they would not have gotten.
That is an incredibly bold statement to make about a player who has been a net negative so far in his career.  It would be less bold to say adding Okafor and subtracting Booker gives them a few more losses this year.

Gotta agree. Just don't see Okfor making a difference one way or the other in won loss record.

they will give him playing time along with Nik....can't be any worst than what booker provided

booker is a solid bench type player but thats it

I hope Nets are better after this trade ....  take that Cavs

If by wins you mean horrible blowout losses then yes, I agree.

Nets didn't get their 10th win until March last year.

I think this is an improvement. Their pick might legit be in the 10-12 range at this point.

Nets beat Wizards and are now 11-15!

Crucial five-second violation at the end there.

Is it proper time to start discussing the nets possibly making the playoffs?? Few wins from .500. The knicks and pistons could disappoint as always and wiz look weak

I mentioned this in another thread but I'm concerned nets will trade dinwiddie, that would hurt

Even if the Nets barely make the playoffs, that's fine by me.

Cavaliers would then be getting back a pick outside the Top-10!  ;D

If Russell ever comes back, they might even manage to be a .500 team for stretches. I'm curious if Okafor will pass Mozgov in the rotation, since he's obviously worse than Allen and Zeller.

Wonder if the Cavs pull the trigger. The pick definitely won't be top 5. Nets are clearly better than Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas (who have been decent lately though), Phoenix and Sacramento. Probably the Magic too.

Russell will hopefully be back by then if that happens.

Dinwiddie and Russell starting together would look pretty good to me though.

They don't have their pick. Need to remember this. Brooklyn CRAVES a playoff series
