NBA Execs "Impressed" With Nets as Planned Move to Brooklyn Is "In Tatters"
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
DDDB looks at a report praising the Nets front office's personnel moves — and panning ownership's blundering.
Surely the executives can't be impressed with the Nets numbers or their effort to get out of dodge. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
...Nets impress:
If you talk to executives around the league, many are impressed with what the New Jersey Nets have been doing.
They got out from under Vince Carter's contract and picked up a very good young player in Courtney Lee besides expiring contracts from the Orlando Magic. They now have three quality young pieces to build around: Lee, All-Star Devin Harris and promising young big man Brook Lopez. The Nets also get good draft picks coming their way plus a load of salary-cap space next summer.
The major problem is their plan to move to Brooklyn is in tatters, and their owner is quickly running out of money because they languish in one of the worst arenas in the NBA...
Mighty impressive!
