		<description>So I&#039;ve been thinking, all this losin is weihing on my mind none of us thought the nets would be this bad. Some people said 30 wins others 20 now most of us are hoping for 10. I at least thought hey we can be a 20 or 30 win team as our young player get better and fill in a bit for VC, get a nice high pick adding some more good young players in the draft and then if the team is mediocre we probably won&#039;t attract Lebron or anything but we could sign two all star caliber free agents in FA who saw the team was mediocre with improving players and with their addition could be good and then we&#039;d have three all star players including Devin and future all star in Brook. A bunch of good youn players and we could retain the likes of Dooling or Hayes or get some other decent roleplayers to fill in the gaps cheep since they’d be so much talent available good rolepalyers would have to settle for less than normal. I even thought we might be like Detroit used to be a good team with no superstar.

But now its looking like while some players are better than predicted in YI and CDR, others are little disappointing like Lee. And Harris has struggled this season.. Bottom line the nets are worse than expected which wasn’t much. Record futility is approaching and most of us are starting to worry  if the nets continue to play awful and Devin gets less respect among his peers than last year and without another legitimate all star ala VC (obviously his age and contract mean he couldn’t stay here realistically)  the nets will be to bad a prospect to attract free agents even with all their money and on that point maybe only because of their money meaning they’d have to way overspend to get free agents which isn’t a good thing. So right now I think the best hope to avoid infamy is to trade for some sort of player that can play at an all star level someone that will get us enough wins to avoid infamy and be another attraction for free agents. Who knows if there is another threat maybe Devin play’s like last year. But anyway Devin Brook and another good player plus whatever else we have left that’s attractive enough right. I’m not a huge of dealing any assets to get someone who’s not likely to resign even if it lets us offer more money. I mean sure if we can get someone without giving up an asset and they get us a few more wins that’s great because even if they don’t resign we avoid infamy and are in the same place because of their expiring contract. But giving up an asset for someone who won’t resign just screws us.
I’m also deadest against trading Devin though, even for a good player, Why his value is down, his contract is reasonable also trading him doesn’t guarantee anything. We gain one good player lose another we still lose plenty of games as we’re only swapping talent not adding and the guys will need to time to play together effectively anyway. My main issue is it leaves a gaping hole at point guard. On of the hardest position to fill, there a 75% chance we don’t get Wall not exactly in our favour No it think Devin and another player is needed to attract free agents, I think if we have no point uard the team will be screwed for years to come and I have believe Devin can be very good with more talent on the roster at a very reasonable price for years to come. So yeah I think we need to make a deal with expiring contract as our best moving forward maybe et on the other end of a salary dump for once we might to include other uys from our “core” (prefer if we could try not to) but point guard is the most important position in the game after center and trading is just a step back. I think Brook and Devin need to be untouchable. What do the rest of you guys think?</description>

		<description>I think CDR gave a good effort.  His problem last night was he was going one against 4 in the paint.  In fact the whole team is trying to get all their shots in the paint.  I know they are having problems from the outside, but they still need to keep them honest by shooting a jumper.

The rebounding situation is indicative of their lack of aggressiveness on the floor.  I see them waiting for someone else to get the bal.  They can&#039;t afford to have that approach.

On the offensive end, I thought they ran into the opposite problem when they had trouble scoring.  I saw them trying to do too much as an individual and not playing as a unit.</description>

		<description>CDR was dogging it in the Pacer game. He wasn&#039;t trying andit was obvious. I haven&#039;t seen that from a player in a long time. Usually a coach will pull a player, but Kiki stuck with him, and CDR sulked and poutted all game. I miss Coach Frank</description>
