The Nets, Hawks and Jazz are all interested in Kwame Brown after Memphis said they had no intention of resigning him.
While this may seem nutty, I have expected this for one reason: Brown plays post defense. He may not be (the old) Collins or Diop, but he is 7'0", 270, and 26 years old, same age as Diop. He is also a better scorer (didnt say better offensively) than either of the others.
But the Nets probably won't be able to sign him. I assume he will be offered a two year MLE or about $4 million. Someone will offer him more than that. There's always someone out there who will take a chance. (Maybe he'll want a Chinese sneaker deal?)
So I await word on Kwame. Losing Diop would drop the Nets seven footer contingent to three: Krstic, Lopez and Yi. We need Brown to lead the league in length.
