    for the record, here is how much each of the free agents would make if they made the team:</p>

    --Darrell Armstrong: $1.219M</p>

    --Allan Houston: $1.219M</p>

    --Jumaine Jones: $1.10M</p>

    --Malik Allen: $964K</p>

    --Mateen Cleaves: $964K</p>

    --Eddie Gill: $895K</p>

    [The amounts above are what the Nets would have to carry on their books for salary cap purposes, but the league pays anything over $771K, so luxury tax aside, the Nets will pay only $771K if they sign Armstrong or Houston to a fully guaranteed contract.]</p>

    --Robert Hite: $687K</p>

    --Rod Benson: $427K</p>

    hm. so Rod Benson could realistically become a cheap pickup. I'd love to have just him and Hite, but that's just my love for youth on NBA teams speaking.</p>

    Darrell and Jumaine would be much smarter aquisitions.</p>

    I'd love Armstrong, Houston, Benson over Hite, Deathblow, Illic. Expensive, however.</p>

    Realistically--and I use that term loosely, he would have to beat out Malik Allen. With Krstic and Boone still at less than 100%, it is highly, highly unlikely that Frank would go into the season with two rookies, Sean Williams and Rod Benson, as insurance. Best bet for Benson would be a return to the D-League, where he could get a call up. But there is no money there and he has said he is prepared to go to Europe.</p>

    If we get Houston, I think Boki is out the door by January. In return a trade exception, he'd fit in with GSW who has a TE.</p>
