    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Rod Thorn is in no rush to fill the combo-guard vacancy the team has on its roster, though he remains interested in guys like <u>Keith McLeod</u>, <u>Roger Mason</u>, <u>Robert Hite</u>, and <u>Anthony Roberson</u>. Shooting accuracy is not a prerequisite, but it helps: It is likely to be a team weakness, now that <u>Eddie House</u> has departed for Boston, as the rest of the team shot a combined 34 percent from the arc last season.

    "It's not imperative, but we need someone to make a shot," Thorn said. "We get a lot of wide-open 3s, so we want to get that percentage up."

    It has been long rumored that Indiana might buy out veteran <u>Darrell Armstrong</u>, who has two years remaining on his deal. The 39-year-old has many of the skills the Nets would need, but Thorn cannot comment on a player still under contract with another team.

    "We're still looking," Thorn said. "We might sign some guys on a make-the-team basis, and one of them might make it. But as far as a veteran guy goes, we'll see. All those guys think they're going to get more than the minimum."</div></p>

    i like hite and roberson, not so much the other 2. i think hite would be the best option out of the 4, and if indy buys out armstrong, he should definitely be considered.</p>

    I believe Hite was just signed to a non-guaranteed contract

    Indeed. I was very happy with Hite in the summer league.</p>

    Is his contract going to count against our luxury tax number? Under what situations will it not?</p>

    If his contract is picked up for the full season it would indeed push the Nets into the tax.

    I'd like to see the Nets get Armstrong. Doubt he plays for vets min, but you never know.</p>

    Anyone know if Armstrong and Hill had a good relationship back in the day?</p>

    With so many teams close to the luxury tax, free agents shouldnt count on getting paid big bucks unless they are very skilled and restricted.</p>

    I am very interested to see what Udoka gets and from whom. </p>
