New Jersey Nets
At this point the following is apparent;
Magliore, Carter, Allen & Nochbar are defensive liabilities.
Jefferson, Shaun Williams & Boone run with Kidd - the rest of the team can't or don't -
Krystic is a head case.
Management and coaching are resting on their laurels.
It seems that the trade with Miami is setting the stage for the big Kidd trade - with Dallas - perhaps a multiple player deal bothways for Dirk?
Miller from the Sixers would make sense.
The Nets need to upgrade their bench - if they can get Duane Wade from Miami for Carter, Wright & M Williams- & Krystic they should - but they may give away more than they should to have a shot at the championship this season - UNLESS some younger players - drastically improve -
Content INVITED by the players individually and personally
FIRST GAME ASSESSMENT: I didn't see any change in Carters approach from last season = too many shots
I feel the coaching staff doesn't have control of Carter
Conditioning seems to be a problem = this is the coaches responsibility
The NETS were lucky to win
