<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Knicks and Nets evaluated four potential draft picks on Tuesday at the Knicks? training facility. They will meet again on Wednesday at the Nets? training facility to work out four more players. This union will be repeated regularly until the N.B.A. draft on June 28. ?No poker faces,? Nets General Manager Ed Stefanski said when asked about operating on enemy territory. ?We just watched workouts. I think workouts are good but I think it?s just a piece of the puzzle. All year long you?ve been out there with scouts looking at players. I think that?s the body of the work. Now you?ll interview these kids and see how they?re made up.? With their coaching staffs and front-office personnel in attendance, the Knicks and Nets brought in Derrick Byars of Vanderbilt, Sammy Mejia of DePaul, Demetris Nichols of Syracuse and Curtis Sumpter of Villanova. The Nets own the 17th pick in the first round; the Knicks have the 23rd. Neither team has a selection in the second round. ?Why it works, too, is the proximity of the draft picks,? Stefanski said of the Nets? arrangement with the Knicks. ?If we were at 12 and they were at 28, it would not make sense.?</div> http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/06/sports/b...gin&oref=slogin Source: New York Times
