Lawrence Frank hasn’t said a bad thing about Jamaal Magloire. He just wants to go with a faster game. But the reality is that the Nets’ biggest off season acquisition looks an awful lot like Rodney Rogers, Alonzo Mourning, Ron Mercer, Marc Jackson, and Jeff McInnis — big bucks for small minutes. Meanwhile, Nenad Krstic is inching his way back to action and Frank reveals that Richard Jefferson’s asthma gave him problems on Wednesday.</div> Big Cat Big Waste - Fred Kerber - Nets Chat Big Stuff - Al Iannazzone - In the 'Zzone <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Al Iannazzone)</div><div class='quotemain'>Nenad Krstic took another step in his rehab today. He did some full-court work - “basketball stuff -” before shootaround. We take that to mean transition stuff, stopping to shoot, some post stuff, etc. Krstic said he was going to do that last week, but when I asked Lawrence Frank if he had a setback he said no. So, this seems to be good news for Krstic and the Nets. When it leads to him getting on the court and practicing or playing again is hard to gauge. All we know is it will be some time after the New Year. The last time I spoke to Nenad he said somewhere around the second week of January. But it’s going to be a group decision among all parties involved. Krstic is working with rehab specialist Matt Gibble of Excel Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Nets’ strength and conditioning coach Rich Dalatri and athletic trainer Tim Walsh. “When he's able to come back, who knows?” Frank said. “Right now with Nenad, it's more you pray for his own good. In the sense that how it impacts the team, we'll worry about that later. You just hope for his own good, because he is such a good person, because he is such a diligent worker that he is able to get back on the floor and he's able to play.” Don’t ask yet about where Krstic will be in the lineup when he comes back. Our guess is comes off the bench a few games until he gets into a rhythm and feels fine mentally, and then eventually returns to the starting team. But, it depends on how the group is doing by then, also.</div>
