Offseason Ideas

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting KL32:</div><div class="quote_post">the only thing i can say is that they should have taken hakim warrick in the draft</div>

Still not sold on Warrick being a Power Forward for a full 82 games, I need to see it first and then I might say we made a bad decision. But until then even with the ofseason of not getting Reef or any legit 4-man, I still stand by Rod's decsion to take the best player he felt was available, instead of an under sized bigman.

I think the 2nd round was most disappointing because Chris Taft was drafted by Golden State right before we were surpose to pick at 43. And we left some pretty good frontcourt guys on the board like Ryan Gomes and Lawerence Roberts, who I think could have been immediate help and staels for the 2nd round. But instead we went with the unknown overseas kid Illic...which scares me cause we already got Krstic...and overeas guys most of the time are crap shoots..so the odds of getting another foregin big as good or better than the one you already have is slim. But we wont know till about 2 or 3 years from now whether we made the right choice in the 2nd round.

I like Gomes, but he's not even 6-8. He has power moves that works in the NCAA but I don't think they'll translate well in the league. However, if Shawn Marion is playing power forward, I guess Gomes can too.

True, but he is a nice pickup for the 2nd round, if you are realistic in your expectations....knowing that his lack of size(hieght) will more than likely prevent him from being a starter over 82 games.... I think if Gomes can turn into a Corliss Williamson type player for Boston or another team somewhere down the road off the bench...I think its a success

The first one would definitly be better. I remember when the Nets had K-Mart and Kittles, they would go on long scoring droughts. When Carter came, and there was a drought, he would break it every time.

So, that K-Mart-Carter team would have all the strengths, without all of the weaknesses of the near-Championship team that the Nets had.

carter is better now
but in 5 years, J-rich will surpass him...

 

[WadeDynasty]

I think you guys need a big presence inside. NOt someone who plays good defense but who also can get 10 rebounds nightly basis and maybe 10-15 points. With Big 3 and the addition of that center would be great. And with J Kidd, i don't see why not.

 

[BigBadWolf]

what about drew gooden?
can give 10+ points, athletic enough, plays solid D, solid offense...
not a superstar, but should be a good fit for nets...
