a - I expect him to play 40+ minutes with 38pts 20reb 3ast
b - I expect to go 36-0 the rest of the season ending with a finals sweep over the Suns
c - I expect a Boone-Williams-Krstic-Swift rotation which creates havvoc in the East and we become the best Defensive team in the league along with the Best Offensive team in the paint
a - Your expectations of him tonight
<blockquote>I expect him to look rusty as hell. He'll probably look like he doesn't belong the majority of the time and will most likely take a few forced shots. I think there will be a few plays where he looks like the Nenad of old.</blockquote>
b - Your expectations of him the rest of the year
<blockquote>I expect him to continue to look rusty for a while, but eventually gain some type of confidence back. Don't know whether he'll eventually crack the starting line-up for certain match ups, but he'll definitely be nice to have off the bench towards the end of the season. </blockquote>
c - Team expectations with Swift and Nenad
<blockquote>I'm thinking .500 to end the season, maybe a little below, with a low playoff seed, and an early first round exit. Don't really know how much of an impact Swift will have, if any.</blockquote>

What are:
a - Your expectations of him tonight
b - Your expectations of him the rest of the year
c - Team expectations with Swift and Nenad</div>
hmmm maybe not as optimistic as you but i expect,
a. 8,4,1 maybe, being nice, a few jumpers
b. I expect 9 and 4 for the rest of the season.
c. I expect similar numbers for Swift, also I think there great additions for the bench.
a - Your expectations of him tonight 10 minutes, 5 pts, 3 rbs, 2 fouls
b - Your expectations of him the rest of the year 18 mpg, 8 ppg, 5 rpg
c - Team expectations with Swift and Nenad That's our bench behind Sean and Boone. Krstic will serve as a much better 'Malik' in the sense that he comes off the bench to be a jumpshooting big man (and do all the things that Malik doesn't do). Stromile will have to beat out Malik, which I think he can do; his athletacism and resulting 'energy' will demand minutes in a similar fashion to how Sean earned a starting role despite constantly making rookie mistakes.
a - Your expectations of him tonight-8 minutes, 4 points(2/5 shooting), 2 boards, 3 fouls
b - Your expectations of him the rest of the year-15 minutes, 6ppg, 3rpg
c - Team expectations with Swift and Nenad-Swift and Krstic will be the first bigs off the bench along with Nachbar. Swift wont probably play more than 5 minutes per game until a few games later into the season. I expect him to average at least 6ppg/3rpg. As for Krstic, it will be a struggle, and like Swift, his minutes will increase steadily with each passing game.
How great would it be if Nenad came back, and we all of a sudden go on a hot streak. And he has averages of 14 and 9 with Boone and Sean playing well as well. Carter goes back to old form, Kidd plays well, and RJ is still the second option. Man, talk about a fantasy.

Once again,my ni99a Jizzy was right.
c. Swift - 2 years and that's it with the Nets. depends on how much Frank likes him. If he plays, it's 9 points, 5 reb, 1.5 bpg. If he doesn't play much, it's 2 pts, 1 reb, .5 bpg
Nads - signs ~4 mil a year contract for 2-3 years, next season, he bounces back with a pretty nice year.
