Where is the link or were you just posting to get attention? This is the best I found. It's an assesment, an opinion, nothing official...


Players they might lose: Cliff Robinson

Players they might pursue: Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Stromile Swift, Donyell Marshall

Current cap position: $53.2 million ($3.7 million over the cap)

Analysis: Now that the Nets have shored up their backcourt by adding rookie Antoine Wright, the challenge will be to find someone, anyone to replace what the lost last summer when they let Kenyon Martin leave town.

Luckily the Nets have options. They've been flirting with Abdur-Rahim for almost an entire year and see him as a great veteran complement to the team. Abdur-Rahim will likely have to sign for the mid-level exception somewhere, and the Nets seem like the best fit. Abdur-Rahim has never been on a winner and the Nets offer him a good shot at changing that. Look for Abdur-Rahim's strong relationship with Jason Kidd and Lawrence Frank to seal the deal.

Swift might be a little better fit for New Jersey. The way he gets up and down the floor is very appealing, but he also is less consistent than Abdur-Rahim. If both guys are priced out of the Nets' range, a player like Marshall might be a cheaper option.

I have all of that plus NBATV, Satellite radio. Tell me where you see Rahim to the Nets. Now, if you're talking what the Nets HOPE to do in free agency, that's different than Rahim to the Nets per ESPN. The subject made it appear to be a done deal, which it's not.

Are you serious? If someone says Rahim to the Nets per ESPN and 'ouchie', dont you think others want to read more about it? If it is Radio/TV why dont you tell us which one it was? If you dont know then let Briggs answer because he will be best suited to do that.

speaking to Rahim, thinking about Rahim, dreaming about Rahim doesn't make him a Net. I'm looking for confirmation, but keep coming up empty. Post a definitive link, that's all some people are asking. where does it say that Rahim and the Nets are in agreement on a contract?

Shouldn't this be in the NBA thread?

I'd rather have Swift than Shareef anyway... And all they did was TALK to him. LOL
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Rahim would fit right into this no defensive style we're putting together.
