Massive hypothetical

Any team in contention for the championship that doesnt have a dominating big man will be desperate to get him. So really only Det, Indy, San, Houston wont want him.

IMO it would be stupid to go after him. He isnt the same player anymore and a guy that size will decline extremely quickly. He will be good for maybe 1 to 2 years. Then it would be all over. Im sure there will be a ton of interest in him but it would be a quick fix in hope of stealing a championship.

If you do that, great, but you have to be prepared for years of being crap after he retires.

That K-Mart and Jefferson trade is hilarious!! Why would NJ give up one of the most athletic and well rounded SF's in the league in Jefferson who is young and still getting better.

Then there is the all star PF in Martin who continues to get better each year also and is still very young. Ridiculous rumor.

...and why is hilarious, Jod? Jason Kidd, Shaquille O'Neal and Shareef Abdur-Rahim (Kittles + A. Williams) automatically becomes the best team in the East, and around the mark for best in the league. Are New Jersey going to win the championship next year, or the next? No. Is Jason Kidd going to be as effective by the time Richard Jefferson reaches his prime? Highly doubtful.

The current Nets line-up is good enough for 3rd in the East at best, with Miami likely to take over them next season. How many forwards like Richard Jefferson have led their teams to championships of late? None. With Kidd setting up Shaq and SAR they'll be putting up 30 and 20 respectively. The difference between this line-up and last year's Lakers is that Shaq will get the ball whenver and wherever he wants it - unstoppable.

Oh, and KMart is 27 in December. No spring chicken.
