I Know This is Early But...


I know I shouldn't be talking about the off season before the season is actually over, but I think I am 100% giving up on Nene.

His Defense has been absolutely terrible in the Utah series. I have seen C.J Miles and Deron Williams take it to the rim with Nene literally standing there and watching at least 4 or 5 times from each player. Carlos Boozer just completely smashes Nene in the paint, he moves him around like a rag doll.

Offensively, Nene can barely get in the paint and when he does it's always a freakin lay up or miss dunk off a failed put back. He is strong and quick enough to score 18 points a game in this league with ease. His free throw shooting is horrible as well.

Finally, his rebounding is disgusting. He averages about 6 rebounds a game AS A CENTER.

Granted, Nene should most likely be a power forward, but even when Petro started at center Nene didn't do anything to impress me.

This leads to my question... Would you trade Nene and what do you think his honest trade value is? The only centers I could honestly see being able to be had for Nene are Chris Kamen (maybe), Marc Gasol (BIG maybe), Marcin Gortat+ filler.

What do you guys and gals think?
