The SAR Saga Remembered

[Petey]

On July 1, Lawrence Frank, Nets’ head coach and close personal friend of Shareef Abdur-Rahim, flies to Atlanta and at the stroke of midnight, knocks on the front door of the the Olympic gold medalist and All-Star, carrying an offer from the Nets. This was the Nets’ plan all along: use the remaining $5 million TE from the Kerry Kittles deal with the Clippers to secure a high-scoring big man. Oh what genius.

I think letting SAR slip through our fingers was still a mistake.

Yes his production was down, but the Kings also acquired another PF in Kenny Thomas during his tenure. Can't move Thomas without show casing him as he had the bigger/uglier deal. Still does as SAR comes off the book the following year (pre-2010).

Yes SAR would had taken up salary, but it's not like the Nets other MLE deals, or even Mark Jackson and Boki put them at the 'next level'.

That is a perfect description of Thorn's attempt to go after SAR.

The SAR fiasco is the only reason I'm here today. Without him, I never would have signed up on bbb 3 summers ago. I owe pretty much everything to that man. He essentially introduced me to the internetz.
