I continue to answer this question. I guess my reasoning isn’t all that good.
Nets do it because they like THJ. lol
Diniwiddie has reportedly quit on the team so he’s definitely on the move. THJ is a suitable replacement and can be used next year as an expiring to help move the needle for the Nets.
It’s difficult to come up with a reason they take Grant, I guess I can repeat the arguments that others use against me in Grant debates - That he’s still a plus defender, great shooter for his career, does it in the playoffs, still young and only making measly MLE money. *eyeroll*
Hopefully some in the Nets FO believe the same thing so many argumentative Mavs fans do about Gwill.
O’Neal isn’t some great prize but the report is that the Nets want up to two SRP’s. I think replacing THJ and Grant with Dinwiddie and O’Neal on its own makes this team much better. The fact that it gets you off ~$57M is even better. Mavs could have an advantage with the added flexibility, especially with the new CBA changes.
I think it’s worth up to 2 SRP’s to make the move. Nets still might not consider it.
What’s that say about Timmy (6MOY) and Grant (prized FA/SnT this summer)
