The Nets 2010: A Realistic Plan
HOOPSWORLD
by Alex Raskin
Forget about LeBron James' relationship with Nets minority owner Jay-Z; ignore Dwyane Wade's presence at the U.S. Open last August; and don't pay any attention to the Chris Bosh rumors: All three headliners of the Free Agent Class of 2010 aren't going anywhere.
Thanks to the Larry Bird Clause in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Cleveland, Miami and Toronto can each re-sign James, Wade, and Bosh respectively for around $30 million more than anyone else can offer.
With that in mind, let's take a realistic look at what the New Jersey Nets can do in the summer of 2010.
