Mirza Teletovic

[Bosnian Diehard]

OK, yes, I know, I know. He's Bosnian. I'm Bosnian. But that's not the only reason I bring him up. He's a consistent shooter who has transitioned into the NBA well. He's a stretch four and could allow JT to play backup center (or he could come off the bench and provide some much-needed scoring). Consistent 3-PT shooter (37% in his career) and he can also take defender off the dribble. Not bad at rebounding for a stretch four (five a game). Also, he has some Play-Off experience as well. MT3 is also a good locker guy, so he wouldn't be sticking out negatively.

He's in the final year of his contract and is only at $3.3 mill right now, although I doubt the Nets trade for him atm. Maybe we could pick him up as a FA in 2015 or offer the Nets something good? He'd be better than Kirlenko, who others brought up previously, imo.

He would be a good pickup at his current price. Average-above average defender, shoots well and has range. Also has post game, if you stick smaller guy on him. Started driving more this year on closeouts. In other words a true rotational player for any team.

i like him, but i'm not sure he can replace thompson. off the bench we'd be looking at a mirza-landry front court. one of them will be out of position. still, i'd rather he be on the court than derrick williams.

think we could do something like

jarrett jack + mirza for derrick williams?

I really think Mirza has been to good thus far for them to ship him just to unload Jack (not bad himself but on a high price) i would try and make that same deal with AK instead of Mirza.

He hits threes at an insane rate 2.0 in only 25 MPG.. solid player. still think we should aim for a big with more of a defensive presence.

I was thinking that if we made a trade for him, Landry may be one of the pieces involved. The Nets would definitely like an experienced vet who's spent time in the postseason in return.
