Thorn is not in a panic. He would like to improve the team, but is happy, right now, with what he has and is not likely to break it up to make a minor adjustment. Meanwhile, rumors of Nets' interest in Kevin Garnet never seem go away, fueled this time by trade deadline speculation on which NBA superstar might be traded.</div> http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/index.ssf?...1350.xml&coll=1
It doesn't really trouble me all that much that we're not making a move. Thorn's a mastermind. He knows that it's going to be hard for the team to obtain a big man, and so he's patiently waiting until a good deal is proposed. He's in no rush because we're starting to play consistently. I am worried about what would happen if their weren't any roster changes before the deadline though. The team needs a big desperately if they want to compete. I think Thorm and Stefanski should pull for Wilcox or Ely, but I know teams aren't budging to trade for Jackson, McInnis, or Planinic. It's a stretch, but it would be great if management at least tried to pry away Gooden from the Cavs.
