The Nets refused a deal for Jermaine O' Neal


On June 28, the night of the NBA Draft, the GM of the Nets Rod Thorn declared that it had received several “interesting” offers of transfer, including one, according to sources', was a méga transfer which would have sent Richard Jefferson, Nenad Krstic and Jason Collins in Pacers against Jermaine O' Neal.

Now, it appears the odds of the Nets making has major deal before the season begins in November are growing slim. Thorn said none of the trades He discussed with other executive just weeks ago are likely to happen, for now.

The O' Neal trade discussions could summarized again goal the Nets cuts already added has big man to to their roster who is expected to make has major impact. After Mikki Moore signed with Sacramento one Friday night, they signed free agent center Jamaal Magloire one Saturday. Magloire has one-time All-Star who averaged 13.6 points and 10.3 rebounds in 2003-04 with the Hornets. Magloire averaged 6.5 points and 6.1 rebounds last year for Portland.
