As I sit here with my memories and hopes that coulda been, here - for lack of something better to do - is my list of Nets that I wished stayed longer.
Billy Paultz
Jim Chones
Brian Taylor
Larry Kenon
Swen Nater
Calvin Natt
Buck Williams
Sleepy Floyd
Mookie Blaylock
Derrick Coleman
Keith Van Horn
Kenyon Martin
Richard Jefferson
Brook Lopez
Jarrett Allen
Rick Barry, Julius Erving, Kevin Durant, Bernard King, Jason Kidd, Mikal Bridges (but all pretty much unavoidable or understandable. King reportedly had drinking problems.)
For those that need reminding... we STILL have not had a single player last with the team for 10 seasons.
Anyway, what's your list?

Re: off-season lament
Definitely Dr J, I still remember the game he dropped 63. It was on a Friday night and he had 25 in the first quarter.
Of course Drazen Petrovic, what a tragedy that was.
Another tragedy was Jason Williams #55. He was a light hearted hilarious personality. It is such a shame that a reckless act ruined him and took the life of another person.
Kerry Kittles, he was one of the main pieces of our last championship runs. Kidd used to fling the ball 40 feet to Kittles who ran like a Gazelle to dunk it down. We came out of nowhere that year and no one had an answer for us (At least in the regular season...lol).
Vince Carter my jaw dropped when I found out we got him via trade. That buzzer beater 3 pointer against the Raptors was priceless.
Josh Boone was another likable lunch pale player. Gave it his all. If he could have developed a little 10-12 footer he would have been in the league a long time.
Theo Pinson and the bench mob...someone needs to put that gif up....lol
Joe Harris, Big Jay and even D Lo.

Good choices. I especially like you picking Josh Boone... liked his style plenty.
