    Thron just did an excellent job of cutting lose some dead weight.</p>

    I think the last thing he'll do is go and add some more.</p>

    Hite looked AWFUL in the preseason; summer league success doesn't translate to the regular season.</p>

    No one out there right now would see any meaningful playing time barring injuries... so imho, its best to keep the roster flexible and only bottom feed if we have to.</p>

    I assume they will sign Houston, like everyone else. It is just fun to run through the list of decent prospects that have recently been cut. The Nets could probably deal with someone like that as a 15th man, but not a 14th man--not given the need for a good shooting wing. I assume they won't carry 15 players to start the year.

    This is way unexpected. It seemed like we were going to be stuck with Illic. Nice move, Thorn.</p>

    I kinda feel bad for Ilic who really seemed to be getting use to the lifestyle here but it's hard to save a guy for the future when the guy ahead of him is only 24 years old.</p>

    I'd like to see one of these spots given to someone young like Byars, Jordan orNichols and get the use out of that D-League spot just to see what we can actually muster up.</p>

    In Rod We Trust.</p>

    Think of how many times over the past six years you've said it. It's part of the reason why Rod is so good, little moves like this.</p>

    What I didn't expect is this little story to end up on the front page of ESPN.com.</p>

    6 big men...idk about that.</p>

    [/QUOTE]</p>

    </p>

    If they re-sign Hite, they'd have four point guards. (Kidd, Williams, Armstrong, and Hite.)
    I'd like to see them get Houston and Hite, but who knows.</p>

    [/QUOTE]</p>

    Hite isn't a PG</p>

    [/QUOTE]</p>

    Thank you.</p>

    Finally made it over from BBB. Have been looking at this site for a few weeks now. This is a GREAT trade. 2 bench players would would be lucky to see any playing time in any game this year for Wesley, who though he may be old, is a good shooter, and adds another guard until Marcus comes back. I see most of you say we hsould cut him, but I say we give him a shot, and lets see what hes got, if hes no good then we can cut him. Howard would be a good signing but I doubt he would sign with us, and he would sign with a team that he sees as a bigger "Championship contender" then what he considers we are. We have opened up a lot of oppurtunities with this trade. We need to adress getting a shooter if Wesley is not what he used to be. Great job rod[/quote]</p>

    According to Al/Dave, Stefanski says Wesley's not coming.</p>

    Very nice trade. So we have 2 spots available now right(assuming we waive Wesley)?</p>

    </p>

    How about Hite(decent shooter and athlete, we have seen what he can do, and he knows our system to an extent) and Eddie Gill(considering our pg situation, Marcus is hurt, we seen him play and he knows our system to an extent)? We would leave the last spot for another big man or another wing.</p>

    </p>

    Rotation:</p>

    Kidd/Marcus/DA/Gill
    Carter/Wright/Hite
    Jefferson/Nachbar
    Collins/M.Allen/Boone
    Krstic/Magliore/S.Williams</p>
