While saying that Wednesday's draft may ultimately decide the Clifford Robinson situation, Rod Thorn said that the veteran will likely be back with the club.

"The odds are probably that we'll bring Cliff back. When you look at it, how are we going to get a big who can do what he can do still for us and have some experience?"

The Nets must decide by Friday on Robinson. They would like him back at less than the $2.5 million team-option price and will try to negotiate a deal.
