Nets Are Scorching

Got another e-mail today, and I figured I’d put it up.  This one is from Sam S.  Thanks for the e-mail Sam:

Sebastian -

Like your site a lot.  I too am a big Nets fan, and was sad to see VC go.  But I thought that Waldstein’s article below was the best one I have seen so far on why it made sense.  I do not know if Lebron or Bosh would come to the Nets – probably not without Brooklyn.  But, as noted below we have a good young nucleus with the 1 and 5 well covered.  And some combination of CDR, Lee and TW will be ok for now – and one might surprise on the upside (all will provide good 2/3 depth).  I have no faith in Yi – and I do not know why the article below would not highlight that the 2010 draft if LOADED with outstanding 4′s (and Anderson was never going to be more than serviceable).  Maybe Dallas falters next year and we get their lottery pick.  Maybe Golden State gets Amare and makes the playoffs and we get their first round pick.  Three first rounders and seven expiring contracts?  In Rod and Kiki I trust. Is that enough to attract two first tier free agents with more than $25mm in cap space?  I do not know.  But I can suffer for one year while the kids develop and hope (and rationalize every loss as tanking for the 2010 draft – might as well start early)…..

Every once in a while, I get e-mails from Nets fans whenever big story breaks.  Every once in a while, I will get them up here.  Here is one of them (from a guy named Justin DeFeo):

Not sure if you’re able to link other blogs on yours, but on Twitter I had tweeted a whole bunch of Vince’s greatest moments as a Net. Then I decided to just throw them up on my personal blog. http://difsworldofbasketball.blogspot.com/2009/06/vc-for-3.html Check it out and see if its worthwhile to go up. Thanks man.

Do yourself a favor and click over to that site.  It is a pretty good post.  Here is an excerpt:

As a die hard Nets fan losing Vince Carter this week was hard. I felt the best way to honor him would be to compile his greatest moments as a Net and put it all into one place. Not going to bother ranking them or anything like that, just want people to enjoy the moments.

I am not going to post the videos here, because I wan’t you to click over to Justin’s post.  He put a lot of work into it.  Enjoy.
