Sorry tonight’s edition of Nets on the Net is so late today, but here you go fellas:
CDR has decided to step away from his phone and twitter to blog. CDR talks about working out and mentoring T-Will about NBA systems, business plans and the economy, some favorite tv shows, why he likes twitter, and of course his cats.
Awesome video of the Nets working out. Like Mark and I said in the podcast, I really think this is awesome, and I am glad to see most of the team (and not just a few individuals) doing this. Only means good things for the Nets.
Gerald Narciso of Dime again shouts out the Nets. He takes a look at the top JV-teams, and the Nets come in at #6. It isn’t a diss. It is just a way for him to describe the young core:
By young core, I mean players who have not accomplished much yet in their young NBA careers and are still paying dues. I’m talking about players and teams that are not quite ready to contribute anything big this upcoming season, but will be right there in the mix two or three years down the line. All of these players are relatively young, have no more than three years in the league and have not been all-stars or major contributors in the playoffs.
Good stuff. One thing, that lay-up C.Lee missed wasn’t a gimme.
For the portion of the fan base that thought there were still ways to upgrade the Nets at the PF/C position for theupcoming season, take David Lee off your wish list. ESPN is reporting the Knicks are expected to finalize a one-year deal for Lee next week. Despite some speculation that the Knicks could unload Lee in a sign-and-trade, team sources say such a deal is unlikely.
Recently, NAS explored the Nets bringing Lee into the fold. While all signs indicated that it wouldn’t happen, I still think he would have been an interesting fit for the team, which outside of Brook Lopez, is very thin on inside scoring and rebounding. However, with Lee only getting a one-year deal, Lee could become an option for the Nets again (or for the first time) next year, especially if some of the elite free agents stay with their respective teams.
In the fourth episode of the podcast (2nd with Mark), Mark and I sit down to discuss the guys getting in the gym early, the effects of that, and some Brooklyn/Devils stuff. Definitely worth the listen, and you can listen/download it here or get it on iTunes.

A quick note: Mark and I know the quality on this isn’t the best (Each one of us is only coming through one side of the speakers), but we are going to change up some things for the next one and we should be good. So don’t worry fellas!
