The Nets shitcanned Kittles for nothing. They should have at least did a deal to get Chris Wilcox to play the 4. Vince Carter for Kidd straight up would be good. RJ will be a great player he is still young and all those guys werent used to international basketball it is way different. Next year 2005 the Nets should have alot of cap space to sign a major player. Mutombo, and Kittles money will be gone. They should have about 20 million to sign someone. I hear Amare Stoudamire from Phoenix will be the big power forward on the free agent market next year. Kidd is pissed because the owner did screw the team up. Bottom line Kidd did turn the team around so he should have a word in decisions and even Shareef wouldnt play for the Nets unless Kidd is there. As long as Kidd is in NJ and is healthy which he will be and does have some good years left NJ will attract good players. I wouldnt fold up the tent yet. Maybe Alonzo Mourning will make a big comeback? I know I will go see the Heat at the opener and see where it goes.
