Thorn says he isn't done, and some hints as to what our lineup will be

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Asked if there were room on the roster for Krstic with a basic “Spartacus” casting call on hand at power forward (Yi, Swift, Boone, Sean Williams Sean Williams

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Given that he has four years and the Nets’ roister is incredibly frontcourt heavy, scratch Andres Nocioni form any wish list. Probably Marcus Camby, too.</div>

Good stuff. As a new Nets fan, I would like to say that following this team is fun.

There are a lot of sites/blogs such as the one posted above, Netsdaily, NJ.com, the New York based newspapers, etc. that provide so much info on the Nets. No offense to the Bucks franchise, but they basically have one credible newspaper (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) and two solid blogs to follow, that's it.

Why does it seem like Boone is a goner?

We knew about Swift.......

obliviously theres still moves to be made. thorn isn't going to leave the team as it is right now.

 

[soul driver]

leaving the team as is would make us a 30 win team, if that. I was hopeing for Noicioni or Camby, but at this point I'm really pulling for Dooling and hopeing to get rid of KVH, Hassel, and Swift. We already know Nenad and Boki are gone.

maybe thorn is doing something magical to get josh smith ahah

The obvious avenue is to pursue is the LA Clippers, who have a doughnut now at the PF position since Elton Brand left unexpectedly.

Cuttino Mobley has two years left on his deal. How about a package of big men + KVH + Marcus Williams if need be, for Mobley?

I don't buy this idea that the Nets need a big time SF. They just need a stop gap for two years until theoretically Lebron arrives. You don't want to create an unecessary roster conflict at that position. I think the Nets are adequate for two years at SF as currently constituted.

Damn, I was sorta looking forward to Andres. Oh well, might be better off without that ugly contract.

 

[danxcr]

if they somehow get mobley..(i dont kno his contract situation) couldnt we move carter to SF?

and have a lineup of

harris / carrol?

mobley / cdr / hayes / ager

carter / simmons / anderson /

yi / najera / swat /

boone / lopez

and thats our line up shippin marcus, hassel, kvh contract, swift

Please no, I had enough of Mobley watching the Rockets. His basketball IQ sucks, like a black hole. This might work in NBA 2k8 though

IF we had taken Brent Barry it world have worked better.

ya i guess... hmm i wonder who is actually a possibility for us...
