Ooh, a midnight deadline. Krstic may have to improve his rebounding, but definitely not his flair for the dramatic.

Giving ultimatums like that is in bad taste. The Nets have been very good to Curly, I'm not saying he should pass on the money but does he know he sucked last year?
Kristic about his development all season last season: "I need more time" Kristic has an offer for Russia: "You ain't got alot of time!"

He had a deal on the table that he didn't want to lose and he gave the team sometime as a courtesy in case they had something cooking. I don't think he's being a bad guy here... in fact I think it's the opposite. It's only an ultimatum if there was a hot market.

I look at it as the Nets letting Krstic get back to form, but unlike sending him to the D-League, he won't count toward the 15-player limit on the roster.

Where we can sign him when we want to, and he won't be on any other team. Maybe he just has a lot of loyalty to the Nets and will come back when we want him?
