<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>i would like to go on record here saying <u></u>I hope the nets never get Labaron James!
I am so sick and tired of hearing about this pipe dream. I would rather see Thorn rebuild the right way like he is. I would like to see the continuing development of Lopez, Anderson, and CDR, who i believe will turn out to be decent starting pros for the nets. I would like to see Thorn continue to dump worthless contracts like KVH, and Swift, and Haskell, and return another decent starting pro. I also would like to see the continuing draft good players like thorn continues to do.
In the year 2010 I would like to see this team of home bred nets beat La Baron James, and then he will be labeled the biggest bust never to win the championship. This is what i'd like to see, not rest the future of a well respected franchise on some stupid pipe dream.....
oh yeah, go nets!!!!</div>
The Boston Celtics, the team with the most tradition in the NBA just won the championship this year via free agency. Also, there is more FA candidates than just Lebron.
The era of homegrown talent died awhile ago. You teach a young guy and he end up leaving for bigger money.

Not always, look at RJ for example he would have stayed if he could. Same could apply for LBJ. Its not always about money, take Brand for example he could have gotten more from the clippers, but he chose to leave the loser organization. Really only Kmart left the nets and his career turned out terrible once he left the confines of Jason Kidd, but returned the nets after all the dust settled VC.

RJ was traded. He no say in if he was staying with the Nets. That situation has zero in common with adding a free agent.
