His name kept coming up because his contract is expiring and the Nets' sixth man didn't want to go anywhere. The same goes for this summer when Nachbar can test the market. "I'm as comfortable here as I've been with any other place in the world playing basketball," Nachbar said. "So this is where I want to be." The Nets would like to keep their best reserve, who scored 11 of his 16 points in the fourth period of Saturday's come-from-behind win. But Nachbar should get plenty of interest and a raise on his $2.5 million salary this season. The league has become smaller and more athletic, which should make the versatile Nachbar a valuable commodity. Nachbar said he thought about his future plenty around the deadline, but not anymore. "I've put it behind me for a while," Nachbar said, "because the focus is on the playoffs."</div> Would you want to bring him back? What size/length of a contract would you give him?
2 year 3 mil at most. and we still need another shooter, boki is an 8th man but we need a good shooter

Other teams I heard are interested in him so we might have to go higher IMO. I wouldn't want to go higher but Nachbar is just one of those players you don't let go incase he randomly finds his shot for the entire season.
There are really no upgrades in the market, cheap ones anyway. I wouldn't mind brining Boki back but only until a permanent replacement is found.
He's still our best bench player so not resigning him would be a step back. Originally I was hesitant in bringing him back, but it seems he's found his shot this second-half of the season; decent rebounder, too.
Its funny How I was talking wiht him about this yesterday. He was like I hope to end my carreer as a Net. I was like just make the best decision for u and ur familyy
He's an upgradeable player, but I'd like to keep him around because I think he's a good guy in the locker room. He's another guy who I think has shown some leadership ability. It's kind of how I felt about Mikki Moore. If he will stay for a reasonable contract, he's not bad to have. Just don't overuse him.

He's really improved over the past couple months. I mean, I wish he could do this all season long...but this might be the best we could get. Eh.
It is a good sign that two players in the same week have uttered out how much they enjoy playing here and hope to stay in New Jersey. They both are small forwards as well haha.
I'd keep him. His teammates definitely like him, and he's a game changer. You need guys like him, players who can get hot in an instant and win a game for you.
He makes $2.5 million this year, his last year in a three year, $7.5 million contract. Nets will probably offer him a similar deal to Mikki Moore...$10 million over three years. That's a deal that starts at $3 million, then escalates to $3.315 million, then $3.63 million. Seems about right.

one quick question about the article it says boki is one of two free agents the nets want to keep this off season the other is Gana Diop. So what exactly happens to kristic?

I guess I have mixed feelings . . . he's inconsistent and can't defend . . . but they'd just end up overpaying for some useless slug instead, and it's good to have SOME players that want to play for the team.
I would definately re-sign him. he seems like a good locker room guy and fills some needs off the bench. I don't get the inconsistent part that people bring up. he's a backup and i think for what he brings, he's a good one. he can hit a 3 and he's a competitor who doesn't seem to back down from anyone. I, for one, would be very upset if he didn't come back
