I think the Nets certainly have enough to make the playoffs in the East, but my huge question mark with them is Kidd. If Prime Donna #5 tanked last season over differences with Scott, why would he play with heart after seeing Martin essentially shown the door? I have little trouble seeing him quit on the team. Evan
So many people think magic will become a top 4 teams from the bottom team in east after a trade. They are a big, big winner!!! I just don't think so. IMO, they will fight very hard for a playoff spot.
They also have a starting 5 in which NONE of the starters from last year are back this year. They went from PG-Tyron Lue SG-Tracy McGrady SF-God only knows PF-Juwon Howard C-Steven Hunter (?) To: PG-Steve Francis SG-Cuttino Mobley SF-Hedo Turkoglu PF-Dwight Howard C-Kelvin Cato Then with Nelson and Gooden coming off the bench,and Pat Garrity/Grant Hill claiming they're back at 100%, Orlando's looking a lot better (and a lot deeper) than last year.
