If NJ Nets keep all 3 picks, what to do rest of offseason? - LocalApple

According to RT, if the draft were held today, he would keep both 1st rounders (at least thats what he says). If this happens, we still have a lot of ammo left 4 off-season deals. I say we use our 10 million dollars in cap space (SS and KVH contracts) to make trades with teams that want to trim cap space:

1.) Acquire a PF/Center:
Brand---will opt out of his contract this year, discussed heavily in other threads.
Chris Wilcox---we've liked this guy for years. He's up for a contract extension in 2009 and Seattle doesn't want to pay him big dollars.

AND

2.) Acquire a proven shooter or defensive minded shooter:
Depending on what we do addressing our #1st need, we could go after:

Mike Miller---we also wanted to deal for him last year, but with the gift the grizzlies gave away to LA, the management wanted to hold off on trades. Only problem is that he's a liability on D.

Pietrus/Barnes/Pargo/K.Rush---one of these with part/all mid-level would be a great addition to our team.
