However, the Nets will be playing in a brand new arena in 2012 and this will lead to a new life fron the NJ Nets. The Brooklyn Nets will be much more appealing. The Knicks on the other hand, I still don’t see them building around Galo, he is pretty bad, and over-rated because he is on the Knicks and they don’t want it to sound like the Knicks made another mistake drafting another below average palyer with a #1 pick.

I agree the Nets and Knicks will be the darlings over the summer.
Every free agent will visit, talk to the right people and then use that visit to drive up the cost of retaining their services with their current team (or a another team they might really want to play for). Seriously folks, the Knicks have some history of success (90′s were especially good, the 70′s brought a championship) but right now there is NO reason to play there. The system won’t win you a ring and there really isn’t any players there to play with. The Nets are just plain awful and have been for their existnce save two years of going to the finals (during the weakest period the eastern conference has EVER seen) and during the Drazen Petrovich (sp?) Dereck Coleman years…. Save it people. No top tier free agent goes there.

The Knicks will definitely be the Jazz darlings shortly after the season is over when the Jazz will get the Knicks lottery pick. GO JAZZ!!

Kurt,
I’m not sure what happened to you in New Jersey that has caused so much built-up angst and frustration, but let it go. Seriously. It’s old. Just enjoy your Lakers as they stumble down the stretch (sweet Raptors win!). Picking on the Nets, as you often do, is the equivalent of a Yankee fan picking on the Royals. What’s the point? Do you really get some sort of satisfaction out of it?
But as I’ve said before in these comments, enjoy your new-found hobby while you can, because Cuban is right. The Nets will be doormats for a mere five more weeks. After that all bets are off. They have building blocks (Brook Lopez, Devin Harris), a guaranteed top-4 pick, 25 mil in cap space and a new owner that could buy Dr. Buss about 20 times over (#39 on the Forbes List published yesterday).
So try and look a little harder at what Cuban is saying. Because if you can’t see it, you’re awfully short-sighted.
