Universe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/206942-new-jersey-nets-draft-day-review It was a busy day for the Nets as the rebuilding finally went into full effect as Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson were traded to Orlando for Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston and Tony Battie while later in the evening, Rod Thorn selected Terrence Williams from the University of Louisville with the 11th overall pick. The Carter trade caught many by surprise, but also was expected by some. It allows the Nets to have almost $14 million in extra space in 2010 when the giant free agent blitz happens. It allows them to use that as an excuse to be cheap at the moment, though it’s not even guaranteed that they will be looking to spend the big bucks then with the move to Brooklyn being quite expensive as well. The deal brought in a much sought-after guard in Courtney Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Nice read. I guess I never really of Battie as a vet that Brook could learn from but its definitely something to look at. I wonder what our starting line-up would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
