New Jersey Nets

New Jersey is looking to sign and trade Nenad Krstic. The underperforming Krstic has been playing with pain. He once had so much potential, but now is a big question. The Sixers are interested.

Going back to the Bulls, Nocioni is being talked about by New Jersey. They are looking to get him with a trade. That is in the preliminary stage as of now. 

 

Detroit Pistons 

Rumors were that the whole team was going to get blown up.  Sheed is gone, they want Carmelo, and the only untouchable was the rookie. 

Well, Detroit has been quiet.  They may have rethought that remodeling plan.  They can compete with what they have—and with an addition like Mikael Pietrus or James Posey, the Pistons could be right back on track to the Finals.  The big question will be—is it enough to beat Boston?  One game separated them last year. 

 

On The Move

From New York, it looks like Zach Randolph and Stephon Marbury could be gone.  Randolph should be traded, because he does not work in the new system.  Marbury could be officially bought out by next week.  It would not effect the Knicks' cap for this year.   

The Returns to Sender

Jose Calderon of the Raptors, Gilbert Arenas and Antwan Jamison of the Wizards, Beno Udrih of the Kings, and Eddie Jones with the Mavs, are all returning to their teams. Ron Artest decided not to opt out with the Kings, and the Bobcats are hoping to keep Emeka Okafor and Dave Hollins, and have started by making qualifying offers.  Contracts can not be signed until July 9, but negotiations can take place between now and then.  Trades and sign-and-trades will happen after this date.
