Think times aren't so tough?

Then maybe you haven't heard the Nets are no longer going to scout opponents.

You heard right: Paul Cormier, who was absurdly overqualified to begin with, was let go last week, because the Nets (and Spurs....and Wizards) are no longer going to do any advance scouting. They'll rely on some kind of networking arrangement, with regional scouts who can punch in the play calls and sync it with video and send it along to the staff a day or two before they play Team X.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. Some people think it will save money. Others think it's idiotic.

Good.... a leg up for Portland.
