number1pick

Can you blame him? He signed the mega-deal to stay here b/c he believed the Nets were committed to winning. Then they go and trade K-Mart. He wasn't the most skilled guy but he attacked the basket and he was a very good post defender and was developing a offensive game, add in Martin and Krstic along with an improving Jefferson thats a team that could easily win the East. The Zo signing was kind of stupid I'm not gonna lie they could have used that money to sign a veteran sg shooter or something. He stayed in NJ instead of leaving for San Antonio. He wants a title more than anything. He's already looking foward to free agency. In the Si.com article about him and Lebron he's already talking about opting out and leaving. He says later that he wants to win with NJ but its pretty obvious he doesn't mean it. He's busting his a$$ for this team and they just continue to suck. He was the one that was supposed to decline as the years went on, especially after the microfracture knee surgery and instead he's playing some of the best basketball of his career yet his team around him is terrible and will only get worse, especially the way the East is improving. Toronto isn't going anywhere. Miami will start getting better now that Wade is back. Orlando is on the rise. Boston. Detroit. Cleveland. Washington when healthy is better than NJ. Charlotte is improving. Milwaukee is improving. Atlanta is improving. Indiana is probably better. Even Chicago as bad as they are playing right now is probably going to get better and better. Even Philly is on the right track, young team that will have cap space in a few years. NJ is on the decline. The only reason they will make the playoffs is Kidd. Any other PG and this team would be AWFUL.
