Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 Any word on this guy? This guy could be a steal b/c he is coming off a torn ACL. He is a young PF who would compliment Howard well. I know he is restricted and was tendered a qualifying offer. What is he worth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 They were talking about giving this guy 50+ million before the injury. Any med guys on here? Can he come back from that ACL? Hollinger compares his game to a young Rasheed Wallace. For the record, I don't think Otis would chance signing this guy. IMO, it would probably cost us almost all, if not all, of our mid-level. High risk, high reward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 2006-07 season: Krstic got off to a very strong start before tearing his ACL 26 games into the season and missing the rest of the year. Up until the injury, he was the inside scoring presence New Jersey had long been lacking -- Krstic was averaging 20.1 points per 40 minutes on 52.6 percent shooting when he was hurt, and ranked 14th among power forwards in Player Efficiency Rating. Scouting report: Krstic doesn't have a rugged build but is an effective low-post scorer. The 7-footer has a quick release around the basket and a jump hook move with either hand he can turn to. He's especially good from the left block, where he likes to turn right for his jump hook. Additionally, he runs the floor well and can beat opposing centers down the court for transition baskets. Krstic is also a very good midrange jump shooter. He made an eye-popping 53.1 percent of his long 2-pointers in 2005-06, and last year was at 44.3 percent before the knee injury ended his season. That skill makes him very dangerous on pick-and-pop plays, and defenses need to account for his shooting from the weak side. 2007-08 outlook: Krstic has had nearly a full year to rehab his knee, and the hope is he can come back and regain the momentum from what looked to be a breakout season last summer. Between now and then, the Nets face a tough decision -- do they give Krstic a contract extension, and if so how much? Prudence says to see how the knee reacts to game competition before coughing up the $40 or $50 million it likely takes to keep him, but prudence could end up being quite expensive if Krstic is allowed to test restricted free agency next summer. It still seems the wiser course, but based on the lunacy of the past few summers nobody would blame the Nets for locking him up now.

Miller4Prez64 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 I actually made a trade for Kristic at the trade deadline on NBA 2k8, I like the guy a lot. New Jersey won't let him go, but he would be a good pickup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
