Even though he averaged a career high last season, is impact on the court was not the same as it was before. Lawrence Frank is ruining Sean William's confidence. Williams alongside another shotblocker like Diop would be great. Williams still has a little offensive game to him. I say tell Krstic to chill out for the rest of the season (hes not helping us). And let the other bigs play.

QFT! Shut Nenad down and give his minutes to a guy who can actually contribute

Krstic is not a rare type of big man(jumpshooting). Granted he had some well rounded post moves but are we actually use a lot of money and resign a big that plays no defense, with a post game that is slightly above average, and whose main weapon is a midrange jumpshot? (note a jumper some other bigs can do and still play defense)

Also you just have to question LF's thinking. Sometimes that man really confuses me, he said Sean is out of the rotation but yet Nenad is a starter. What has Nenad done since he was activated to show he deserves to be starting, heck getting more minutes than Sean

He couldn't wait to pick on the rookie.
I get the feeling Frank's jealous he's so short and never made the basketball team.

I have to agree. Give Nenad another 2 games and then give his minutes back to Sean.
Nenad is a liability on D and his missing terribly on his shot and giving us no put back points. Sean may be a youth liability occasionally, but I think he overcomes that most of the time with his energy, put back potential, speed down the floor and blocked shots. I have to tell you, his back to the basket game has been way better than Nenad's and that is supposed to be the other way around. Nenad can't expect much more waiting time. His knee is fine and he's had just about enough time to bounce back rhythm-wise.

The Nets MUST give Krstic as much time as he needs. If he can return to his pre-injury form, he is a lot more valuable than any of the other big men. There are not a lot of players in the NBA who at 23 can average 17 and 7 like he did. This is a BUSINESS decision that must be dealt with this summer. What is he worth?

Sean Williams is two years away from that level. Josh Boone may never reach that level of scoring and Diop's career high in scoring is 10 points.

Surely you know Diop's value doesn't lie in his point total.

And Krstic, at his best, was a poor defender, average rebounder, and an embarrassment, offensively, in the low post.

You are assuming that he will return to his previous level. Also realize before he went down, he was putting up points but he was disruptive on the court

How's Diop been doing the last 10 or so games?

Diop is a monster since hes been in new jersey. Any offensive game from him (points wise) is a bonus.BUT he gets offesnive rebounds and keeps plays alive like no tommorow. He single handedly slowed down dalembert and even outplayed him. Defensively he gives us a presence in the paint and we no longer have to double down low. It improves our defense dramatically and we no longer see three point bombs from opposition. In the denver game, both runs were with diop in the ball game. And against philly he was still a positive factor. Krstic however has picked it up the last two games. If he can continue to play like this I would like to see a Diop/Krstic frontocurt with Boone and Williams off the bench.

Well dilemma numero uno has popped up for Thorn. Diop and Nenad are up for extensions. Do you sign both knowing that there's a guarantee the team doesnt even make the playoffs next year?

NewAgeBaller · 03-25-2008, 02:36 AM

How much money is Diop looking at roughly?

How much would the franchise give him, and how much is he really worth (value)?

HB · 03-25-2008, 12:14 PM

His agent has got to be thinking MLE type numbers. He might not even be in the Nets range cause all the contenders will be looking to get him
