here's a list of free agents http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=2008freeagents trading block Diaw, Odom, Leandro Barbosa, T.J. Ford
Hm. Well, I think Vince Carter will be on the Nets. I have a loose feeling that Nenad may not be with the team, but I'm not sure. I don't think Marcus or Jefferson will be on the team. I think they'll be traded for somebody. I don't think Diop, Darrell or Boki are coming back. But I'm sure Swift will be back, until mid-season at least. I'm not sure who we're gonna sign or trade for, because personally - I find it to be a crap shoot at this point. Who knows who wants to sign with us, and who knows who we want to sign. It'd be nice to see Dooling and/or Salim Stoudemire, though.

I dont think M. Williams is that bad. He is just on the wrong team. Frank is the worse at giving people chances. One mistake or TO, frank benches him. So no room for development. I hope the Thorn really puts his own words into consideration, "Player Development", because it starts with Frank.
This whole "FRANK DOESN'T PLAY YOUNG PEOPLE" bullshit needs to stop. Isn't Frank one of the top coaches, when it comes to playing rookies, NetIncome?
Marcus isnt half bad as people on this board make him out to be, if i recall correctly he almost had a triple double right after kidd left, not to mention the high scores he put up when he started. He just needs minutes to be effective.

Hell, I could get a triple double against those two.
I think the thing with marcus is that he's inconsistent. Doesn't that usually happen with young guys anyway? he'll have a 14 pt 6 assist night and looks good but then follows it up with a stinker. before the nets traded away kidd and the nets were stinking it up, i actually said to myself that it might be good if kidd had to sit for a stretch because then we'd see marcus for 30 minutes a night and really see what he could do when thrown into it.
Marcus averaged over 11, 6 and 4 as a starter in 7 games this season, shot 41% from the field, 50% from 3. I think I'd like to see him start a few games this year, especially if we moved RJ, I would be happy to see Marcus/Devin/Vince starting 1-3 for at least a few games.
