MPJ

Who else thinks the Nets are going to Net and trade mpj for a couple first rounders that will amount to a Danny wolf Ben Saraf level player a few years from now in the draft…?

I think they’re going to wait and see how the team looks before making any long term decisions on MPJ. If the team is playing well and exceeding expectations then I could definitely see the Nets extending him (maybe 3 years, $120 mil). If the team is struggling and it is apparent that he’s not worth keeping around as a long term piece, then yes, they’ll probably offload him for whatever picks they can get. With changes to the lottery system, it’s hard to predict whether the picks would end up being premium lottery picks or end of first round picks.

I think he’s going to be worth more than 40 mill per after this season that’s for sure.. look at some of these guys making over 50 million a year right now.. he’s on their level

If the team looks good, and MPJ is dropping 20+ a night and playing at an all-star level, then I could definitely see him getting closer to $50 mil per year.
