I'm not sure where you get the bolded from. Larry is and has been an efficient offensive player. He isn't going to need to be a guy putting up a ton of points, they are already loaded with guys who do that. He is active, both offensively and defensively. For us, he needed to be more aggressive offensively. I kept waiting to see him take more attempts and he didnt, but on a team like the Nets, they don't need him to take a lot of shots, he will get open looks, and he will clean up the boards leading to some baskets underneath.Nance is more of a lose-now player in my opinion. Can’t be relied on to score anywhere on the floor, especially when teams ramp up defense in the playoffs. Can’t shoot well enough. Can’t take advantage when a little guy gets switched onto him. Too many liabilities with Nance to have a significant role on a team trying to contend. If we get any of the players being discussed in these trade ideas for Nance I’d be thrilled.
also, last year there were rumors swirling that several playoff teams were willing to give up a first round pick for LNJ, but we didnt want to trade him. I think if LNJ were from anywhere other than Northeast Ohio, he would have been dealt. Now that they have an offseason to think about everything, I think we see the organization become more open to the idea. He isn't a difference maker for us, but for a team like the Nets, who have every piece to the puzzle but defensive help, its the missing link.
