<div class="quote_poster">Quoting nextlevelgame:</div><div class="quote_post">I'd rather pick up Keon Clark than Fizer. Our front court defense is looking horrible as it is and with Marcus, it can only get worse. I rather see Keon Clark and Eddie Griffin signed. As for Best, what are we going to do with Zoran? Have we given up on him completely? Or is he going to permanantly become a swingman?</div>
I dont think that we are giving up on Zoran completely, I just think their is still alot of questions on what position he is fit to play at this level. I think that he will be used in a combo role right now, until the coaching staff and front office get a better feel of what position he fits better playing.
As far as Eddie Griffen goes, in the last Rob Thorn chat on NBA.com, he said that E-Griff is far from being ready to return to the league. He probably wont be with the team for the start of the season Iam thinking he may join sometime during the middle of the year, his mind state so be pretty clear by that time. And also we would have had the chance to get a feel of exactly what we have on our frontline.
I can understand your point about having Clark over Fizer for Defensive reasons & I agree. But there is two reasons why I would chose Fizer.the main reason, Clark had problems with his ankles, which probably was due to the fact that he & his ankles are so thin, well if Clark has weak ankles then the problem he has will never go away. He will more then likely continue to miss time do to ankle sprains & bone spurs etc. That in my opinion makes Fizer the safer choice even tho he missed half the season last year.
The another reason I chose Fizer is because this year the Nets will be forced to ball alot more half court, with Kidd missing until december and then needing time once hje returns to once again become close to his old self again. So we probably wont see Kidd at a high level until close to or after the all-star break, which means we need productivity in the half court. And I think Fizer will be more effective for us in the halfcourt.
