<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>FMP Zeleznik's Mile Ilic (Nets' second-round pick last year) seems close to playing in NBA next season according to player's agent, Marc Cornstein. Center has completed a terrific season with his team (won the Goodyear League against Partizan) averaging 8.4 points and more than 4 rebounds per game in 19 minutes."I think if the Nets want him here, he'll be here and every indication I've gotten is the Nets want him here," Cornstein said. "I do believe is something that will happen shortly. I think it will be manageable."Seems that Ilic will play for New Jersey next season. 8.6.2006Mile IlicPosition: CenterCountry: SerbiaPro Club: BC ReflexHeight, Weight: 7'1, 240Selected by: New Jersey NetsRound 2, pick 13 (43 overall) NBA 2005 Draft</div>http://www.24sec.net/article.asp?index=3358
Nets Uncertain It's Worth Bringing Ilic to New JerseyMile Ilic, the Nets' 7'-2" draft choice, wants to come to New Jersey. His agent thinks getting him out of his Serbian contract this summer would not be much of a hassle. But the Nets brain trust is uncertain it would be worth it, balancing the value of getting him into a NBA training regimen versus having him spend most of next season on the bench. The two sides plan to meet soon, but a summer league appearance is unlikely in any event: Ilic will try out for the Serb National Team.netsdaily.com
