Kings deal:
Brad Miller
Kenny Thomas
Francisco Garcia
Nets deal:
Vince Carter
Mikki Moore
Bostjan Nachbar
Why for Nets: This is ONLY if the Nets feel they will lose Vince for nothing. They solidify frontcourt and get a young promising swingman type to replace Vince. They break up Vince's mega deal among three players who could all possibly start for the Nets with RJ and Kidd, at least be in the top 6-7 rotation. Francisco Garcia IMO is a very good player who doen't get the burn he needs in Sacto behind, Martin, Artest, Salmons and sometimes Douby. I think he's slightly ahead of Antoine Wright on the young player curve, but between the two I see the 2 guard spot in good shape for the Nets. Brad gives the Nets an all-star level center in the East, especially with Nenad out. Twin is an ideal complement to Brad. Also like I have stated here MANY times before. Kenny Thomas is a very good fit in New Jersey. He runs the floor, rebounds and plays solid-good defense.
RJ would be the main scoring threat and with the passing abilities of Brad/Kidd the offense would open up for the Garcia's/Wright's/Thomas'/Twin's to score more often. Brad and Garcia bring outside shooting threats and the Nets have a team they can compete with Kidd with for the next 3.5 seasons, while using the draft and MLE/LLE's to place the proper role players around to contend in the East. Nets get two veteran frontcourt players that have deals that run near similarly to those of Kidd/RJ and add another young swingman to replace the outgoing VC.
Why for the Kings: The Kings are set at the 1-3 positions. While VC adds to that in the short term, his potentially expiring deal lands the Kings either one of 2 things they are looking for. Added cap space or an opportunity to realize a sign and trade with Vince. In the short term the Kings will have an identity of small ball by placing Ron at the 4 and VC at the 3. The Kings will try to run down the floor and score on opponents and run a full pressure/trapping type defense. This deal will also force Musselman to develop Justin Williams at the 5 spot(which nearly EVERY Kings fan wants to see). Mikkie Moore just adds depth at the 5 for the Kings. This off-season the Kings could have their nucleus look like just Martin/Artest with potentially 20+ million to spend in the Free agent market with VC and possibly Bibby opting out. This helps the Kings in their search to acquire a big man to build around with Artest/Martin.
