Rod Thorn spoke of expectations placed on this team in their final season before they are able to use salary cap space.

?Obviously, we?re in a good position at the end of the year to do things, if it breaks that way and we want to. We?ll be in a good position cap-wise. But who knows what will happen with that?

?We?re not the only team under the cap. We?re not the only team trying to improve. And where you usually have just two or three teams who are significantly under the cap, this time it will probably be more like seven or eight.

?There could be that many players looking for? a max contract, which the Nets can offer, Thorn added, ?or maybe we should say there more than a few who will be difference-makers for a lot of teams in the market for one.?
