<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>20. New Jersey Nets
(added Sean Williams and Jamaal Magloire; lost Mikki Moore, Hassan Adams and Clifford Robinson)</p>

Moore's 2006-07 season was a fluke so the Nets were wise not to match Sacramento's offer. That said, I'm a little puzzled by the succession strategy. The Nets chose to pursue the declining Magloire, and managed to pay him just enough that they had to waive Hassan Adams to avoid the luxury tax.</p>

Look, I know Magloire still has a big name and all, but did the Nets see this guy play the last two seasons? He's become slower than a Galapagos tortoise, to the point that I'm not sure I'd trade Adams for him straight up. To end up having to waive the guy just to get Magloire, when offering a mere $400K less would have avoided the whole problem, seems positively reckless. </p>

That's doubly so when losing Adams means committing minutes to &uuml;berbust Antoine Wright. I'd rate the Nets lower but at least they drafted Williams, who should replace a lot of the energy plays that Moore provided a year ago.</div></p>

Holy overreaction batman, losing Hassan Adams has killed our offseason! </p>

Why do you bother reading him?</p>

His tripe is only worth pointing and laughing. The fact that I agree with part of what he wrote makes me question my sanity. </p>

Whatever you say, Hollinger. </p>

Oh wait, who did you pick to win the Atlantic last year? Was it Boston? Riiiiiiiiight.</p>

If the Nets traded Collins for Duncan, the Nets would somehow be the losers in the deal to according him.

John Hollinger should bewrite for Playboy. I hear they write great articles.

Ah, what a Nets offseason without a great article from John "&uuml;berbust" Hollinger?
