So, I thought KG was done?

Generally speaking, interior defense and rebounding are among the last skills to significantly degrade as a basketball player ages.

That explains Kurt Thomas

Long-term money won't be a problem. Pierce expires this season, KG the season after and Deron, Joe and Brook the season after that. In three years the entire Nets starting unit will be off the books. Deron is likely the only player that will return.

Right, but if we move PP now while we can, it potentially checks out KG for this season and we go back to sucking.
Also, I have a feeling we resign PP for at least one more season while KG is around.

Which is why i don't think they should trade PP for long term money. You get another $10M or so guy, Blatche at $8M or so, maybe you add someone in the summer a nice vet, maybe Lopez recovers, Teletovic expires, etc. You don't want a situation you hit the years everyone is off the books and you have little flexibility because you added a $10M nice piece but not a title helping piece.

As long as they don't go past 2015/16, I don't why not.
That is 2 years longer than Pierce.
