Dumpy, NetsDaily: Questions I would ask Ed Stefanski:</p>

Q: Mr. Thorn: J-Kidd and Vince are both great, but do they belong together? Kidd's a dynamo, while Vince -- well, I'm 10 years older, and I could out-run him.
A: I'm Ed Stefanski.</p>

Q: Who?
A: I'm the GM of the Nets. Rod's the team president.</p>

Q: Doesn't he make the decisions, like drafting Wright over Granger?
A: You'd have to ask him that. I can pass him a message for you.</p>

Q: Let's move on. Why do players lose their hair when they join the Nets?
A: It's the swamp air. It'll grow back in Brooklyn.</p>

Q: Any chance we'll acquire a power forward?
A: You never know.</div></p>

hahahah that was great, dumpy. Classic.</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sleeper: Sean Williams
By the end of the season, the rookie big man will be getting big minutes for the Nets. Last season at Boston College, when he wasn't suspended, Williams blocked 75 shots in 15 games and seemed to improve a bit on the offensive end.</div></p>

Damn...I hope so.</p>

if that's a real interaction, that ranks as one of my favorites, ever.</p>

Nice one, dumpy.</p>

I don't get how when Greg Anthony states that the loss of Mikki Moore will hurt the bench. Mikki was playing starter minutes that Krstic had and couldn't put up the same numbers.</p>

Having Krstic and Magloire is better than Mikki IMO.</p>

 

[Black Republican]

We dont care bout props,we get dat on da court NOT like the celtics.</p>

 

[dirtyjerzz]

I dont get it. Kristic is back and he's shooting 3's. RJ is back to 100% which will do wonders for the defense. Boki off the bench is ready to have the best season of his career. Magliore is the best rebounder the nets have had in a long time. And all this amounts to barely a blip in the standings. Maybe a .500 season if they're lucky. The analysts try to be a little to cute with their pre-season rankings. The NBA is by far the most predictable of the 3 majors.</p>

</p>

We share the same opinions, then. When I saw Greg wrote that, I was extremely puzzled. Mikki's not even that good, both Krstic and Magloire are better individually...I don't see why he would say something like that. Usually, I value his opinion somewhat, but here, he just has no clue what he's talking about.</p>

 

[JCB]

That's classic, Dumpy.</p>

Krstic truly is the wild card though. How he reacts this season after having surgery on his ACL will be key to our success this season.</p>

Another thing I found fishy was..</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Kidd banged up now after a brilliant Team USA summer</div></p>

First I've heard of this. I know he's fatigued but that's bad wording by Mr. Stein to maybe pursuade others to think about our recent health crisis. Just my thoughts though.</p>
