    It's true Dave D confirmed it in his blog.</p>

    He's not going to be forgotten anytime soon I don't think.</p>

    As much as I was pulling for this guy, I just didn't see it on the court. Hopefully he can improve, and/or get his money in europe</p>

    He just seemed overwhelmed and out of place at the televised practice. . . . don't know if you noticed, but he wasn't even in the team huddles . . . he was kind of standing outside the group and sticking his arm in. He needs to keep playing and not give up.</p>

    --but on another note, some people like Net Income like to point out how the Nets don't seem to draft and end up with players like Monta Ellis and Louis Williams and Amir Johnson. The point is, the Nets don't like to make room for some youngster who isn't ready, and pay for them to develop . . . Rod could have been in that camp. Rod could eaisly have been a second-round pick last year, like those other guys, but the nets prefer to hand out one-year minimum contracts to veterans than to hold on to not-quite-ready youngsters for two or three years. Ilic is the exception, but they were forced into carrying him, if I remember correctly.</p>

    --the third thing is, you notice how they waited until AFTER his birthday, and AFTER he had a chance to play in a game, before releasing him? Also, Frank went out of his way to give him some recognition a day or two before (see his blog). Classy.</p>

    not a shock. we knew he basically had no chance of making this team especially when malik arrived and DA. i wish him the best and hope that he plays somewhere this year so he can try to make the league next year if he doesnt get picked up ( i dont see why someone would pick him up). hopefully he will continue being hilarious in his blog. he may not be wearing a nets jersey, but ill still be waiting to see what hes going to blog about next. gl rod</p>

    i feel bad that rod was the ONLY guy released. i would have rather had at least 2 guys cut per cut unless if some guys are really battling it out toe-to-toe for a position. it pretty much says to me that rod was horrible and there is not even one little reason to keep him around. i hope this doesnt kill his confidence as he is a young guy. we know he has confidence and enjoys life i hope he keeps on truckin</p>
