Draft Picks (Mock Picks)
- 11th overall - DeJuan Blair, PF, Pittsburgh - Blair will help fill a need on the front line for this team and will aid in making them a little tougher down low. The Nets have too many soft big men. Yi and Sean Williams would be trade bait in my opinion.

Players on Trade Block
- Bobby Simmons
- Yi Jianlian
- Sean Williams
Simmons and Williams have a lot of talent, but they don't fit with this team. Williams needs to get his head straight or he is going to be the next Jayson Williams...in court, not on it.
I am ready to label Yi a BUST. He has shown no redeeming qualities of an NBA player and I am trying to figure out the hype that surrounded him when he was coming over. Yes, he is dominate in China, because guess what...HE IS A FOOT TALLER THAN EVERYONE ELSE! That is like George Mikan playing against a 5'9 center. Yao is the exception from China, because he has an extremely wide body to go with his height. Yi can be locked down by a player that is smaller than him, but with a similar build.
Final Analysis
Any team with Vince Carter on it is bound to fail in the long run. He is an extremely talented player, but he isn't a leader by any means. If this is a three on three tourney, then Vince Carter could win the championship, but this is an 82 game season with playoffs. No playoffs for the Nets...again.
