There is no Jason Kidd, no Richard Jefferson, no top to bottom track record. But, to Nets president Rod Thorn, there still should be no reason to expect anything less than the playoffs.

As the Nets started to decline (the '03 Finals appearance was followed by a 2nd round exit in '04 and a 1st round sweep in '05) there appeared to be a rift forming between the core of the team, namely Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter, and management, specifically head coach Lawrence Frank and president Rod Thorn. Good players, particularly big players, were being allowed to leave with the Nets getting little or nothing in return.

Instead of heading into the season surrounded by familiar faces such as Richard Jefferson and Jason Kidd, Vince Carter must get accustomed to seeing Brook Lopez, Ryan Anderson and Chris Douglas-Roberts, the rookies, and Eduardo Najera, Jarvis Hayes and Keyon Dooling, the veteran additions, as well as Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons.

If the Warriors let their exception expire and still would like to add a big name without increasing payroll, Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Shawn Marion, Richard Jefferson and Michael Redd also will probably be on the block, albeit at heftier prices, then Al Harrington maybe the player most likely to move.
