No, he doesn't pair well with Jefferson, but don't sweat it — R.J. would probably be going, too. But Lewis is a bit older than a rebuilding team would prefer — he'll be 29 in August. Plus, he's got five more years of max money coming his way, making him even more of a cap-killer than Vince.

Andrew Bynum: Here's one worth looking into. With L.A. functioning so well with a frontcourt of Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom while Bynum recuperates from a knee injury, one wonders if they'd be willing to move him, rather than extend the contract of the 20-year-old, 7-footer this summer.

Plus, Bynum's a jersey boy (Metuchen) who presumably might not mind leaving Hollywood to come home. Obviously, this would require a huge bounty on the Nets' part. But if his knee recovers, the Nets have themselves a low-post building block for the next decade-plus.
