Yet?
I understand why they
come out with this now? The team, honestly, won't be dealing any of their
stars any time soon? Not only do you not rush into rebuilding, it's hard to
blow things up at any cost? Jason Kidd makes close to $20 million this season,
and if you're a team that wants to trade for JK, it's nigh on impossible to
match that sort of salary in a trade without involving a third team or giving
up a player already making $9-12 million a year (a Jason Terry or Lamar
Odom-type) that the rebuilding Nets likely wouldn't want in return? Vince
Carter can't be traded until after December 15th, and Richard Jefferson (though
he's cooled off lately) seems like a bargain where three years ago he felt
overpaid?
On New Jersey's
side, you can understand why the team has talked itself into hanging in there
for a while? Kidd's bound to get over his contract frustrations? Carter's
easing himself back into shape, Nenad
Krstic might be ready to contribute in the new year,New Mens Barefoot Nike Free 5?0 V4 Beige Yellow Shoes, Marcus Williams has
yet to play this season and youngsters like Sean Williams and Josh Boone are
still figuring the pro game out and will only get better?
This isn't to say the team hasn't stunk -- it has -- or that the Nets haven't
been fooling themselves for a few years in thinking that the
Kidd-Carter-Jefferson triptych is championship material? It isn't, not with
their faults and not with that supporting cast?
But I can understand the delusion? As nasty as the season has been so far,NIKE AIR MAX 2012 MENS Dk?gry Blue, and as
depressing as the Clipper loss was,2012 New Mens Barefoot Nike Free 5?0 V4 Black White, the squad is still 9-13 and just a game
out of the playoff bracket in the miserable Eastern Conference? NBA GMs have a
long history of talking themselves into anything ("Curry's right-handed,
Zach Randolph is a lefty ??? it can't miss!"), so when faced with the
financial frustrations inherent even in the midst of an admitted fire sale,
it's easy to pull back and see how things look in February? When the team is
19-33?
Was that last part out loud?
