    No.

    I don't know why we WOULD go after him unless experience is the sole consideration in a candidate.

    Just another option. If they looked at Ferry, I don't see why they wouldn't call up Thorn.

    He'd be a fine advisor, but not a GM. The job is becoming harder and harder; it's not an old man's game.

    Ferry put together some good basketball teams recently. Thorn has not.

    Ferry is 43 years old. Thorn is not.

    Nice, you put the recently in there. ;) Because Thorn's Nets also made the finals in 02.

    No thanks. I know a lot of Nets fans who were counting down the days until Thron got fired.

    He should go back to his calling, being the emcee for the 2nd round at the annual draft. That guy Silverstein they have now is terrible. He should be the Master of Ceremonies at a lounge somewhere.
