I like how Frank really seems behind Sean. He wants to see the kid improve, and if I'm reading correctly, it seems to me he's pushing for Sean to get better. This isn't something you'd see from a guy who doesn't like to develop young players...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>
Marcus Slaughter, a 6-foot-9 forward from San Diego State who was undrafted in 2006, had some good moments, including a couple of blocks, a follow dunk and alley-oop slam.
Julius Hodge played well also.</div>
That's pretty sweet. I hope these guys get some burn, and maybe get a chance in training camp - especially if multiple players get traded away for, say, Andres Nocioni.
Speaking of Noc:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>You might have seen the Nets’ recent reported interest in
Andres Nocioni. Let's say, they’ve revisited talks.
My guess is if something gets done the Bulls may want a
Stromile Swift involved since he’s in the last year of his deal. It may hurt the Nets’ flexibility, but it would improve them. My guess also is that the Nets aren’t the only team interested in Nocioni.</div>
That's interesting. If Swift could be involved, you could come to a conclusion that KVH would be included as well, but who/what else?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>It took the Nets a while to take down some of the picture of
Jason Kidd that hung in the hallway on the way to their gym. But they’ve already removed something of
Richard Jefferson’s. There was a Jefferson quote inside the training room that is still there. But Jefferson’s name, which used to be under it, is gone.
The quote says: “You have to take it personal if people are scoring on you. You can’t accept mistakes and you have to be able to accept criticism. As an individual and a team, you have to take the challenge.”
Too bad no one on last year’s Nets looked as if they had ever read that.</div>
(Including Richard.)
