Nets on the Net: 2/27/10 Edition
The Nets had a hard time dealing with the snow, including Keyon Dooling, who was involved in a minor car accident.
Courtney Lee was equally miffed by the weather, according to Fred Kerber: “This is pretty brutal,” guard Courtney Lee said. “I’ve been in snow situations all my life, growing up in Indianapolis and then in Kentucky and this was probably the worst. [In Indy], we got snow like this once a year.”
Is Tony Battie a buyout candidate?
Nets fans disappointed by the team’s lack of activity at the trade deadline last week should hear what Marc Spears of Yahoo is reporting: Thorn said most of the teams talking to the Nets were focused on acquiring center Brook Lopez(notes) or guards Devin Harris(notes) and Courtney Lee(notes). Thorn considers all three to be key pieces of the Nets’ future – regardless of whether Thorn is around to call the shots after the team’s sale is completed. The New York Knicks, meanwhile, made deals to allow them to potentially sign two top-tier free agents.
Nets fans wanted to see Yi and his guaranteed $4 million contract traded, even if it meant giving up some draft pick. Orlando has Brandon Bass who they don't want, much less his 3 remaining yrs. on his contract.
Will we ever learn if Thorn ever made any inquiries about Yi, or is it assumed that no NBA team would want Yi on their roster?
Now we learn that Nets CEO Brett Yormark is marketing Yi in China for next year. Is Yormark now running the team too? We also learned that Kiki was pushed on Thorn by David Stern, and Kiki won't relent with team focusing on Yi. Is Thorn powerless to keep Yi? Has Prokhorov seen video of Yi playing?
