Nets interested in forward

The free-agent names on the Nets' radar and atop their wish list have been fairly consistent: Keyon Dooling. Eduardo Najera. Some who were up front are going elsewhere, like Mickael Pietrus and Roger Mason. And there have been other names that have been in the background. Yesterday, one of them came to the forefront: Jarvis Hayes. "It's close," Hayes said of a possible deal with the Nets. "There is definitely some interest there. And interest here. I can't talk too much about it." Hayes, a 6-8, 228-pound small forward, is considered a good shooter, an average at best defender. But he would give the Nets some more of the perimeter scoring and experience they seek.

Not the most extravagant 'wish list' I've ever seen.
It's like a kid who only wants a note-book and a pair of socks for Christmas.

way to set the bar high. nothing like setting sub standard levels of performance and struggling to reach even those.

Another classic example of thinking small. Why not make a run at Artest. If that doesn't work, these guys will still be available.

The Nets will have a hard time signing Petraeus- he just got promoted to General of Middle East Operations by the President.

I would do that deal in a heartbeat. I don't think the Heat are stupid enough unfortunately. Marcus Williams can be a starting PG in the NBA and Brook Lopez could turn out to be a solid NBA player. Marion would fit in nicely with my new look Nets.

Actually the cavs have a boatload of expiring contracts, they might be interested in taking Ms. Vince Carter along with his skirt. NJ would suck anyway with or without VC. Then in 2010, LeBron can swap the team :-)

I would've said Rod thorn is the best GM in the league....
but the re-signing of vince was an AWFUL mistake-

I think though he'll find a way to dump him
there'll be a team that needs some scoring come mid-season playoff run-
or some crazy owner (cuban) who thinks he'll sell tickets for him.

Actually- as impossible as it would be-
probaby toronto would fit him well-
Or maybe even orlando
