I very much agree

[NetsGM]

two teams with very different agendas.

With Kirilenko (who's an absolute beast in this game, should put up 20/10 with all-league defense), Kidd, Jefferson and Okur the Jazz could very well challenge for the western conference crown.

And for me, Jason's 30, and my team blows.  Instead I get a 21 year old pf who's a good training camp or two away from 20/12, and is locked up longterm.  Get a decent prospect, and clear a bit of caproom.

NetsGM summed it up pretty well, they can build around Boozer and afford to do so with Boozer's very reasonable contract and his youth. Kidd gives me a scorer and a way to distribute the scoring on a very defensive minded team, through free agency and the draft I hope to tweak my roster so when it comes time for the season I should definately look to be top 4 in the west.

Nets- how good to you expect your team to be this year?

Depends on free agency.

If I do in fact land emeka, I could actually sneak into the playoffs.  Boozer and Emeka would form arguably the best pf/c combo in the league.  Of course, my sg, sf, pg and bench would be unquestionably the worst in the league.

Emeka and Boozer carrying me to the playoffs could be the worst thing to happen for me, as adding a top 5 pick could give me teh last impact player I need (then surrounding that with role players).  But I don't think I could root for me to lose.
