Ilic Expected To Join Nets

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Marc Cornstein, the agent for Mile Ilic, expects his client to be bought out of his contract with FMP in Serbia in the next several weeks and in a New Jersey Nets ' uniform by training camp, according to a report published by North Jersey.

The 7-foot-2 Ilic was the Nets' second-round pick last year.

"I think if the Nets want him here he'll be here and every indication I've gotten is the Nets want him here," Cornstein said. "I do believe [the buyout] is something that will happen shortly. I think it will be manageable.

"I would be disappointed at this stage if Ilic was not a Net come October." </div>

It will be interesting to see if he plays like Krstic.

i guess its good to have another big man but from wat i hear hes like krstc and thats the last thing we need is a shooting big man we need someone who'll bang down low and get rebounds take charges etc

Ilic, I hear is actually a shot blocker...that sounds good to me. Don't take my word for it though.

Good, however this leads me to think we'll trade some of our draft picks. No way we let on 4 rookies next year. Well maybe our 2nd will go to the D-League or Europe. Is Drejer coming too?

No news on Drejer, if his rights don't get traded he might join in 2008-2009 season.
