^ Well I disagree IKIT, The Nets future rests on Kidd-Martin-Jefferson as a unit. Kenyon Martin & Richard Jefferson are the youthful parts to the unit. And wil be here hopefully after kidd is gone. Martin was the Nets 1st half of the season MVP. And Richard Jefferson was the Nets 2nd half of the season. Martin is the Nets only option in the low post. And Richard Jefferson has already taken over as the Nets #1 option in the half-court due to his ablity to take players off the dribble. And Rob Thorn said shortly after the Nets were defeated by the Pistons, that RJ would carry even more plays ran thru him next year on offense. So slowly but surely Jefferson & Martin (if they both stay with the Nets) will be option #1 & #2 for the Nets.
I think the nets future rest more on Jefferson and Martin. Their game is getting so much better and Kidd is second we need kidd for the leadership most of all. but kidd is what makes the machine work. I feel all this team needs now is a atlethic shooter and a center that is a pure rebounder that can put it in the hole if it comes down to it. Cause then there would be a run and gun game and then the half court game which Kmart and Jefferson are getting much better more Jefferson then KMart.
