    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>In an interview with his hometown newspaper, Rod Thorn reiterated what his GM has been saying, and what Dave D’Alessandro is reporting: the Nets plan on keeping their picks. Player development is the team’s new mantra. In discussing two West Virginians in the draft, Thorn said ”we’ve got to consider” Joe Alexander at #10, and if O.J. Mayo gets to #10, “he won’t get to #11.”</div>

    OJ Mayo won't drop to 10. No way that happens.

    So, now we're doing player development? Does that mean less old guys who can't do shit? Yay. [​IMG]

    Less old vets, more Kidd trades...hmm, looks like our future might be bright with a Kikipedia-guided front office. I'll still let THRONE do the drafting.

    I definitely prefer Kiki over Eddy.

    This definitely looks to be a much more exciting off-season...well, for me at least. I like it when the team brings in youngins

    I just hope these youngsters can play D. Kiki's not exactly known for drafting defensive studs.
