Here is what I would do:

Keep Deron and Lopez. fukk the bullshyt, as long as you have those two, you can build a team for the next 5-6 years.Of course pending on Lopez's health.

I would think about sitting Deron for his health by ASB.

Trade AK, Pierce, and KG.

Trade AK for a late 1st.

I would trade him for Perry Jones, Ryan Gomes, and a late 1st. OKC might say yes.

Trade Pierce to Charlotte for Ben Gordon and a 2014 2nd rounder.

Trade KG to Detroit for Charlie V. and Jonas J.

Improves the youth and depth of the team for the future.

Bring that highly rated Euro

Draft a wing. Kyle Anderson, L. Ross or Markel Brown

2014-15

Deron/Shaun
Joe/2nd
Jones/1st
Jonas J/Charlie V./Gomes
Lopez/Plumlee

You have cleared caproom as well. Add some youth. But get to keep the core. I couldn't find anyone that would be interested in Joe's contract. Stuck with him.

lopez injury sealed the deal.

trade pierce, KG, AK47, terry, blatche and Joe, to contendors for picks and expiring contracts.

Only trade d will if needed for an allstar in return and picks.

Only player who they shouldn't trade is Lopez.

Ain't no one trading All Stars for D-Will right now. No one trading for Terry, Blatche or Joe.

300 murders a year
I would make a trade for pau gasol

Pierce and filler for pau and filler

Run kg and pau at the 4 and 5

They wouldn't be good enough to win it all but at least it wouldn't make this year a total waste

Nothing you originally posted is something Brooklyn is going to do, yet you posted it :heh:

I thought this was all hypothetical didn't know on the fly you would go back to what's "realistic"

Now this thread makes no sense, I'm out
Pierce getting traded is unlikely unless it's to a playoff team who is willing to pay his contract. Go look around the league, not many options.
KG has two years left on his deal. His will be even more of a challenge and he has a NTC.

LAL is tight and what they want to Gasol. Pierce ain't it. They want something valuable which is why they refuse to trade him.

You can feel free to tell me what you think, I will just give you be reasoning behind it.

Lopez, Johnson, and Williams is a nice framework. They're not going to be able to touch the free agent market until they're all gone so since this year is a wash, they should be open to trading KG, Pierce, Terry for anything they can get in return. A decent player with a terrible contract would be a huge pickup.

If I'm billy king I realize the nets are fukked and just sit and collect a check until I'm fired...if the Russian told me he wanted to go another direction with me as the gm I'd do the following.

Then I'd see if piru, kg, terry, would accept buyouts.
