Thorn: Robinson Acquired as RJ Insurance, Nets Still Pursuing a 'Big'

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It might seem strange that the Nets would trade Jeff McInnis for a backup swingman, rather than a big. Rod Thorn said the decision was based not just on what the Nets can save--a lot of money--or what Bernard Robinson can bring--defense, energy--but also what the Nets could lose. Richard Jefferson says he feels fine now, but two weeks ago, the Nets' starting small forward was considering surgery. Thorn says the Nets continue to pursue a big man, but he has to be a quality big man.</div>

So basically we're giving up on Wright.

Good to see Thorn is looking for a good big man. He brought in KMart, Kidd, and Carter. I hope he gets a great player here too.
