Kiki Vandeweghe said it with a straight face: "I like our team". Apparently other teams did not. The deadline passed without any trades. "With regards to the trading deadline, there was minimal activity on our part", said Rod Thorn. No talks "came close to fruition." Thorn will now field calls from agents who want him to waive their clients so they can join contenders. Expect the Nets to then begin auditioning D-Leaguers.
