    Agent wont say which teams will attend but ESPN lists the Nets as one of his possible 'landing spots'.</p>

    Hassan's skill level for his pay wasn't good, but Houston's is for his paycheck? I'm callin no shot on this one. We've got a better chance of signing SAR tomorrow

    I kind of have a good feeling about him.</p>

    If his jumper is half as good as it used to be he could be a great asset to any team.</p>

    The Nets are an ideal situation for him. He has young daughters and lives in Connecticut close to the Westchester line...he and Thorn could carpool. He wouldnt have to move. Knicks are out of the picture. He would be called upon to do one thing: come in for Carter and shoot. He had one of the quickest releases in the NBA and if he can still stroke it, he is an able replacement for House. The problem is that his knee is arthritic and that doesnt go away. It deteriorates. He turns 37 this season. He could start off fine but then not be available as the season progresses. He would also sell a lot more tickets than Robert Hite.</p>

    He would cost the Nets about $800,000 to sign if all he wants is a vets minimum and it would be the height of chutzpah to ask for anything more. He made $40 million over the last two years of his contract and didnt play. I think the key determinant will be which team offers him a GUARANTEED vets minimum. I bet the Nets won't.</p>

    Haha.</p>

    His contract was so bad they named the one-time penalty-free get-below-the-luxury-tax rule after him even though the Knicks used it on Jerome Williams! </p>

    That still cracks me up. </p>
