New Jersey Nets Conference

Attachment 4469

Hello I'm Chris Hardwick and I've been asked to introduce todays speakers in the new team captain, Jermaine Oneal and GM Billy King. Unfortunately owner and rapper Jay-Z wasnt able to make it but I'm sure he's watching. With all that said no dis-respectful questions other then that, anything can be asked.

Jermaine, how are you handling the expectations of carrying this team to the playoffs and how do you feel about being on the trading block so often?

Uhmm, I've worked on my game alot and continue to do so through the regular season so I believe we are ready to step up and become a scary team, Uhm so I just look to grow as a captain. And I know this is a business so things will happen, uhm now I think I can call New Jersey home.

(I guess I'll start to participate lol)

2 Questions,

1st for Jermaine:
Baron Davis and yourself have basically led this team for the last 3 seasons, now that he's gone to Boston, do you feel that this team is missing an important piece?

2nd for GM King
You have been reported as saying, colorfully, that you feel your team is still lacking. Are there plans to try to bring in bigger name players or do you feel as though these are your 12 guys and you will begin the season with them? If there are plans to bring in bigger names, who are the Nets looking at?
