First of all, it looks like Terry is gonna be in the deal, and I have no idea of how this will even work under the salary cap. Even if KG and Pierce fall off completely, the stars on the Nets can still get them into the playoffs. They'll never be mistaken for big-time contenders, but they played poorly enough to get their coach fired and still ended up with the 4 seed.
Edit: I like the deal better with Terry in it. It's apparent that you can't trade Pierce without KG, and none of the destinations KG would approve of (since no deal to the Clippers can happen) have anything in terms of young players to offer. The picks from Brooklyn probably won't be that great, but the picks are better than what a team like the Lakers could offer. And if you're going to tank, this year will be one of the better years to do it
