That was … interesting. I don’t think anyone outside of 5 Championship Drive thought last night would go the way it did, passing on guys like Chris Douglas-Roberts, Mario Chalmers, DeAndre Jordan, Joey Dorsey and Nathan Jawai twice (and Bill Walker three times!).

NetsDaily: "Make no mistake about it, tonight's moves were as critical to the Nets' future as those at the trade deadline when Jason Kidd was traded.

The Nets went young, they went big, they went with skill over athleticism but most of all, they divorced themselves from the recent (New Jersey) past and started to get way under the cap.

The Brief History of Walter Sharpe

truthaboutit posted 6/27/2008 from www.bulletsforever.com

Walter Sharpe has been getting a lot of attention lately...especially after getting drafted with the 2nd overall pick in the 2nd round of the 2008 NBA Draft.
