I generally agree with what you all are saying about RJ, how his career progressed, how he's *maybe* a 3rd guy at best on an elite team, how he stopped playing defense and never developed enough of a repertoire to survive the inevitable decline in athleticism, etc. Just one point though: he...

My $.02: The draft is pretty even in quality from 3 to 10, but drops off at 11 or 12. No way would I trade down to 13 just for an Ager-Jack switch. And I like Jack a lot. If I'm the Nets, I stay at 10 and take the BPA. Pretty much any of Gordon, Bayless, Lopez, and Gallinari can get 20-25...

Well, since this thread seems doomed to continue into an examination of racial/ethnic/nationalist attitudes rather than GM strategies, I might as well add this. I think Yi may actually be available at a cheaper price than his true value in part due to bias against him. The first thing that...

He'd make a good running mate for LeBron.

Wow guys, let's settle down. For the record, I'm not Chinese. Joey I understand what you are saying - in fact I already posted that I think Yi would gain the Nets fans from among its large Chinese and Chinese-American population, as well as being a marketing opportunity overseas. Of course...

I vote for Yolanda Vega. If she's unavailable, then Kiki.

I'll jump in with something completely different. . . First, what ails the Nets? Thorn and Frank and most people here keep saying we need shooters. But what does that mean? We always seem (lately) to wind up going after guys that can shoot but don't do anything else (House, Boki, Padgett...

Hey folks, I was a member on the old board, checking in irregularly but lurking often. . . Went to the Nets-Wizards game in December (first one after the "migraine"), couldn't hold down solid food for a good while after watching the mail-in job by Kidd (Carter played great). Finally feeling...
