    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New Jersey Nets declined an option Monday on forward Clifford Robinson for the 2005-06 season, saving $5 million on their salary cap next year.

    The Nets acquired Robinson on Feb. 14 from the Golden State Warriors for two second-round draft picks. He played in 29 games, averaging 6.0 points and 3.3 rebounds. He averaged 7.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in four playoff games against Miami. </div>

    Well, this is just evidence that the Nets are very confident in thier abilities to draft a desent big man in addition to picking up a very good free agent. If push comes to shove however, the Nets may end up signing Robinson if no one else does so.

    This isn't a surprise. He wasn't worth 5 million next season.

    i just knew they will drop robinson! 5 Million for an 38 yr old veteran, not a smart choice. they know they can get a decent Big Man in the draft.

    Seeing how the draft went, this move was probably in preparation for signing someone like Donyell Marshall, SAR, or Swift.
