<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Nets plan on using about $800,000 of this year's $5.1 million mid-level exception to sign 2005 draft choice Mile Ilic to a multi-year deal, reports Al Iannazzone of the Record. Iannazzone says the Nets will waive Zoran Planinic later this week, pending completion of his physical with Tau Ceramica, then move to sign the 7'-2" Ilic. The Serb center is in Singapore and will travel next week to Japan for the World Championships. He would be available until mid-September at the earliest</div>

Its not like they are going to spend the MLE anywhere else.....I wonder why they have to use the MLE, aren't those with draft rights signed with out regard to MLE or anything like that?

It doesn't look like we are looking at anyone else, besides some shooters. Our current roster with the addition of a shooter is the one I expect all season. There is rumors that Nets are interested in Al Harrington, but I really don't know what we can give to aquire him. Letting him go is better than just giving up too much for him.


Edit- There's also Garnett, but what are the chances of getting him.
