This is not a rumors site, but this is one I could not pass up. The Sacramento Kings acquired Samuel Dalembert today in exchange for Andres Nocioni and Spencer Hawes. Devin Kharpertian at NetsAreScorching.com has an interesting reaction. It goes like this - why would you trade your defensive stall-worth for a small forward and a soft 7 footer without some sort of reason? Could they possibly be planning to choose Derrick Favors or DeMarcus Cousins instead of Evan Turner with the second pick in the draft? If that's the case, then Turner will be coming to NJ. This seems illogical, but I assume there could be some truth since new coach Doug collins is apparently enamored with Favors. I still don't get the Collins hiring, but obviously Sixers GM Ed Stefanski believes in Collins. So there is a great chance that he will seriously listen to Collins. I mean, why hire him if you don't believe in him - it's not like he has the best track record as a coach in the NBA.
So this is something to keep an eye on. The possibility of it happening is low, but Nets fans have something to at least hope for. If it was to happen, it would be glorious. Turner is a winner.
[Editors note: It's sad to be thinking about the NBA Draft as Game 7 is on in the background. Sobering to realize how far away the Nets are from even sniffing Kobe's jock in the playoffs]
