Maccabi Tel-Aviv interested in Krstic, but he's determined to stay

[pegs]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Yet we have found at least one prominent target for the big foreign clubs who is determined to stay stateside. New Jersey Nets restricted free agent Nenad Krstic has been repeatedly linked to my favorite club abroad -- Israel's Maccabi Tel-Aviv -- but Krstic is determined to play out his comeback from a knee injury in the best league in the world, with the Nets quietly willing to move Krstic in a sign-and-trade if they can't work out a short-term deal to keep him.</div>

Well, that's pretty cool. The thing is...we don't really know if he's staying in NJ, or going elsewhere.

He really should just take the one year with us or go for the big bucks over there.

What his condition right now? I feel like I'm out of the loop.

He is restricted free agent. we can match any offer he gets from other NBA teams.
but reportedly he wants to stay in the NBA.

we probably wouldn't like to keep him for any longer than the dooling deal (3years, 3rd not guaranteed), unless it's at a bargain price.

if he gets a contract that's too long or expensive for us, we will still probably match, and try to work out a s&t.

i think this is all we know now..

No, I meant health-wise.

some are saying its an 18 moth injury, so....

If we can hurry up w/ these Marcus/Ager/Swift/X deals, I would bring Krstic back. The guys game was never based on athleticism, give him a full camp and he could get close to his old-self. And with the new bigs,namely lopez, we can reduce his minutes and he can be a bargain
