Hollinger: Krstic Deal Good for All Concerned

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>In reviewing recent moves by NBA teams, particularly the locals, John Hollinger thinks the decision to let Nenad Krstic head for Russia while retaining his rights is the “best for all concerned”. Hollinger notes, “it could work out that he shows he’s regained his spring from the knee injury and immediately rejoins the Nets, and everyone’s healthier and better from the experience.”</div>

Wow, when was the last time Hollinger said anything bad about us? It seems after we gave away Kidd, he's completely changed his tune on the team. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing to have Hollinger on our side, but I know I sure do miss bashing him for making dumb statements.

Anyways, I agree with this - there wasn't really that many other good moves we could make with Krstic. All the sign-and-trade possibilities didn't look too great IMO, and there doesn't seem to be room on the team for him. Even if he returns to the team only to get traded, he should return something much better next offseason than he could this offseason.

I agree. It's worth the risk holding on to him.

He's make a great combo with Boone, or Lopez, or Swat upon a healthy return.

hollinger has always been dead on with the nets' fate recently so i hope the trend continues...even though it is hollinger...

bleh Krstic may not even want to come back to the NBA the way he's been playing so far in the summer.
