If you're a Nets fan, you're hoping that new owner Bruce Ratner is telling the truth.

The off-season for the Nets, or at least the media portrayal of it, has been turbulent:  Kenyon Martin might be lost to free agency and Jason Kidd could be traded. There have been accounts that Jason Kidd's knee injury is serious.

The Nets have denied that catastrophe awaits them and now Ratner himself as tried to allay concerns that the team's roster will be picked apart.
