Hollinger: Nets Off-Season 20th Best...or 10th Worst (1 Viewer)

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">John Hollinger, the writer who predicted the Nets' spate of injuries and nailed the 41-41 regular season record as well, is not enamored of the team's off-season, dissing the signing of Jamaal Magloire ("slower than a Galapagos tortoise") and the dumping of Hassan Adams in favor of Antoine Wright ("uberbust"). He does like Sean Williams and the decision not to overpay Mikki Moore ("a fluke").

I do agree with the Antoine Wright superbust comment, I don't know, since back in 2005 when Toronto was rumoured to be interested in him, I haven't liked the guy. I never saw anything good in his game, and I'm still yet to see anything that impresses me.

With Magloire, I just think of it like this, Collins-Magloire, Collins-Magloire. While the Nets are not a fast paced team, they are a team that get's out on the break, but did Collins ever do anything on the break? No, so there's no loss there. Magloire can rebound, beat up guys inside, and blocks shots better than anyone the Nets have had in a while even though he's just an okay shot blocker (was better as a young man). He is an oath though, definately very slow. He looks like he's struggling to cary his body down the court when he runs, it's funny.
