    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Nenad Krstic admits he is injury prone.</p>

    &ldquo;In my career, every injury I&rsquo;ve had - I had a broken hand like three or four times - every injury helped me to develop something else in my game,&rdquo; he said after he tore his ACL.</p>

    He has also suffered a broken foot&hellip;twice, torn ligaments in his thumb and after tearing the ACL in his left knee, a knee sprain this summer, setting back his rehab by more than a month.</p>

    It&rsquo;s something the Nets knew when they picked him. As Bob Considine, then a beat writer for Gannett, wrote the day he was signed in 2005: &ldquo;Perhaps the biggest concern for the Nets is Krstic&rsquo;s susceptibility to injury.&rdquo;</div></p>

    Is Krstic much better than, say, Mike Gminksi was?</p>

    Right now, he isn't worth anything, so yes. If he shows that he can still play, he'll get a contract, not a big one.....but hey it's something. I miss seeing him on the court doing his thing.</p>

    there is no way we can give him a huge contract. i love krstic in all, but if we want to have flexibility and be in the best position to compete then we cant worry about hurting his feelings, we need to make the best decision for the nets. we cant afford to give him big bucks then have him injured again.</p>

    now a healthy krstic drastically improves us on the offensive end, but he still isnt a factor on the defensive end and might never be. im assuming at some point krstic will return to full form, but even when he does and if he plays great we still cannot give him a huge contract</p>
